Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Whatever treatment suggestions your doctor has offered are satisfactory. However personally I do not advocate use of glutathione. My take on your skin concern would be treat your uneven skin tone, acne scars and pores. Please do not go with skin lightening treatment as results achieved would be temporary and skin color per se cannot be changed.
Salicylic acid and retinol( yellow peels) would help you to reduce tanning, oiliness,acne marks, and pores( to some extent). If you have too many scars, go with microdermabrasion or dermarollers. Use a good quality sunscreen to maintain results. Do not go with glutathione injections etc.
Take care
