Brief Answer:
Regarding acne, acne spots and tanning

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

For acne, I suggest you to use clindamycin 1% gel during day time and Adapalene 0.1% gel for night application. In addition you may use a 2% Kojic acid cream for tanning and hyperpigmented acne spots. These are all prescription medications.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Brief Answer:
Regarding face wash and sunscreen

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
You may use a gentle cleanser e.g Cetaphil gentle cleansing lotion, twice daily.
Avoid sunscreen as far as possible as sunscreens can cause acne to flare specially if they are greasy or oily
However if you need to use a sunscreen you may use a gel based sunscreen e.g Suncote gel.
You may use a non comedogenic moisturizer e.g either Acnemoist or Venusia cream.
Take care
