Brief Answer:
Use kojic acid cream and sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Darkening of skin has occurred as a side effect of using skinlite cream for a long time.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply kojic acid cream on the affected areas twice daily along with application of a broad spectrum sunscreen on the entire face during the day time.
This needs to be continued for atleast 6-8 weeks to see significant results.

Hi, I have provided some attachments. Please review them.
Brief Answer:
Capsule doxycycline, kojic acid cream, sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to continue with the sunscreen and the Deriva bpo gel on the pimples.
Besides this I would recommend you to take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at night and apply kojic acid cream on the dark areas twice daily.
These are prescription drugs and should be used under the supervision of the doctor.
