llo and welcome to healthcaremagic
If I was the treating doctor I would suggest that you use a gel based sunscreen, that which offers both UV A and UV B protection, throughout the day. An OTC sunscreen marketed by johnson & johnsons, Neutrogena dry touch ultrasheer sunblock is a good sunscreen without any oilyness.
Lemon juice can cause irritation and therefore I wont recommend it. AHA Glow face wash contains glycolic acid and works to gradually peel away the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation of acne. You can use it once daily.
Once daily azaleic acid cream can be used at night, at the start of therapy. Azaleic acid works for both acne and pigmentation. Other skin lightening ingredients that are effective for post acne hyperpigmentation are kojic acid, glycolic acid, hydroquinone etc.
