Hi Prassana,
To treat hyperpigmentation, it is essential to know the underlying cause for the same. Results obtained in cases of hyperpigmentation also depends upon the depth of pigmentation. Superficial light brown pigmentation responds better as compared deep slate gray pigmentation. If the above prescription is not providing desirable results, you may try stronger pigmentation reducer creams like tretinoin+steroid+hydroquinone combination creams ( skinlite, melaliteXL) or hydroquinone 4 percent creams. Use of sunscreen is mandatory. You may also take sessions of peels for better results.
Hope that helped.
Take care
