Acne, Dark Acne Mark, Prescribed Minoz 50mg, Glyco 6 Cream. Healing Time?

Hi Doctor,
I am suffering from acne for the last 4 months, lately I have observed that my face is full of dark acne marks. I consulted a dermatologist and he prescribed me Minoz 50 mg once a day and Glyco 6 cream to apply twice daily on the affected area. Its 2 months now I am taking Minoz and applying Glyco 6 but my condition is still the same. More acne is appearing daily.
Should I continue taking Minoz and applying Glyco 6?
