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 along with a sunscreen, that which offers broad spectrum sunscreen protection throughout the day.
However, post acne scars are most commonly managed by either chemical peeling Or by dermabrasion, Fractional CO2 Laser, Microneedling/dermaroller etc.
I would suggest that you see a nearby dermatologist and discuss about the most appropriate procedure for your acne scaring.
