Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history, the pigmented spots on your face could be freckles, post acne or post inflammatory pigmentation or even melasma.
Use a broad spectrum gel based sunscreen with SPF 30 and above every 4 hours even while indoors and in cloudy weather.
On the spots, you could use a cream containing 2-4 % kojic acid and vitamin C at bedtime for 2-3 months
You could benefit from glycolic acid based chemical peels done by a qualified dermatologist.
A gel based face wash and moisturizer would be suitable for combination skin.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
