Please help.

No problem..it can be cleared.... treatment depends on the grade of pigment skin.....Do direct private online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.

Saslic face wash and deriva BPO are both drying for the face. Dryness increases the pigmentation. You need to apply moisturiser meant for acne prone skin and over that apply apply deriva BPO for acne lesions - try with short contact.
Next Steps
- Online consultation is suggested
