Hi.Kojic acid preparations work well for post acne pigmentation.You can try a combination of Kojic Acid with Glycolic acid e.g Rejuglow gel (Mohrish pharma),once at night.Use a good sun block as well to enhance it's effect as well as for sun protection. In addition,depending upon your pigmentation,a chemical peel can also be done to get good results.
