Hello,
this is a very common problem faced by many patients with Acne. It is known as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation caused due to acne. i suggest you apply kojic acid containing cream twice daily on the dark spots. Along with this you have to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen lotion over your face half an hour before you go out into the sun. you will be able to see improvement in about 2 to 3 weeks time.
Thank you
take care
