Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Skinlite cream is not recommended neither for acne nor for acne marks
Skinlite cream is a triple drug combination and contains a potent steroid+tretinoin+hydroquinone. Dermatologists use this combination for melasma.
This combination should always be used under the supervision of a dermatologist. Even then it should not be used for more than 2-3 months at a stretch because it can cause side effects of steroid abuse such as acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasia, facial hair growth(specially troublesome in females) and skin whitening(as is happening in your case) etc.
For acne, I would suggest an oral antibiotics, to bring down the flare/inflammatory papules/pustules. For inflammatory acne(papules and pustules) I usually advice my patients to start with Azithromycin 500mg. The antibiotic can be continued for 4-12 weeks depending on the response.
In addition to oral antibiotics you must also use topical antiacne remedies e.g benzoyl peroxide gel OR Clindamycin+nicotinamide gel (as you have been using already).
For severe acne OR for acne unresponsive to traditional anti-acne medications, Isotretinoin is the drug of choice. It the only drug which offers any chance of long term cure and after a full course of isotretinoin significant number of people never have a recurrence of there acne. However it should always be taken in consultation with a dermatologist
