Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a common sequelae of acne specially in Asian skin type.
I would suggest that you use a gel based sunscreen throughout the day to protect your skin from the sun. An Azaleic acid cream/gel 10% OR 20% is ideal for post acne hyperpigmentation and can be used once daily initially, night application.
I would also suggest that you take a few glycolic acid peel session from a dermatologist. Glycolic acid peeling is beneficial for pigmentation, oily skin, even acne.
