A Kojic acid based preparation could be used.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your details.
Most of the times the marks on face are due to formation of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation left after acne. The dull skin color is a relative feature which could increase or decrease according to the renewal of the skin.
Our skin contains a specific cell known as melanocyte. These are the cells which gives color to the skin. Whenever there is an overactivity of these cells then one can get marks or dull skin.
In my patients with your kind of problem I prefer to give a preparation with kojic acid and arbutin. These are safest of preparation used to reduce the marks. A pea size amount is sufficient for palm size area. It is to be applied at night time. A minimum of 3 to 4 months of time is required to see effect.
Additionally a sunscreen should be applied daily. A good nourishing diet with more red fruits is good to maintain the effect.
I hope this helps.
