Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Post acne scars are a common complication of acne.
Various available methods to improve the appearance of acne scars are: Chemical Peeling, Fractional CO2 Laser, Microneedling/Dermaroller, Subscission, Punch excision and grafting, Dermabrasion etc.
I would advice that you see a dermatologist for a proper assessment and appropriate procedure to benefit your acne scars.
You could use a gel based broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers both UVA and UVB protection, throughout the day.
A cream containing glycolic acid Or kojic acid Or hydroquinone can be used omce daily at night to reduce the tan and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation of acne scars.
