Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Post acne hyperpigmentation is a common sequelae of acne.
I usually manage my patients of Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation with a skin lightening cream containing one or more of the skin lightening ingredients like kojic acid, hydroquinone, azaleic acid etc
A gel based Sunscreen would also help in clearing the spots by preventing sun induced darkening.
Besides you could also go in for glycolic acid peeling sessions from a dermatologist
