Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Post acne marks can be just post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation Or they could be acne scars.
For post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, you could use a topical skin lightening agent e.g kojic acid or hydroquinone or azaleic acid.
However, post acne scars are most commonly managed by some surgical means like either chemical peeling, dermabrasion, Fractional CO2 Laser, Microneedling/dermaroller etc.
