Good afternoon. Persol (benzoyl peroxide) 2.5% gel works as an anti acne agent. As the acne settles down, so will the red marks. Acne can leave behind brown pigmentation. These will require additional creams/gels to treat and fade over time. To hasten their exit, certain procedures carried out by a professional dermatologist can be tried such as chemical peeling, laser treatment etc.

Hello. You can use niacinamide. Also you can use azelic acid (aziderm 20% gel) for dark spots apply lil amount on pih spots for 30 min at night and wash. It can cause little irritation for some people. So be careful while applying if no irritation you can apply for 1 hour and wash. Slowly after a month you can keep it over night. Sunscreen is a must.
