Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain as you have oily skin it is a common cause for formation of pimples and pores..
Tanning can be due to excessive sun exposure while can also be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation..
I would suggest you to continue using AHA glow face wash as it contains salicylic acid and glycolic acid..
You can use Cetaphil cleanser as it is gentle cleanser but along with it you need depigmenting and anti-acne medications too..
You can apply Benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin gel over the face..
Apply Adapelene gel that is a retinoid at night..
For dark skin you can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Apply Vitamin E oil or gel..
Exfoliate your skin of face and neck twice a week..
Avoid excess sun exposure and also use a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Drink plenty of water..
Take multivitamins and avoid oily food..
You can also go for glycolic acid peeling , microedermabrasion and dermal rollers..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
