No: Try exfoliating with a facial skin cleanser and get hydro quinine bleaching cream as well as Retin-A cream from your dermatologist to even skin time. Also be careful of sun exposure without sunscreen on.

Retin A (tretinoin) poss better: Benzoyl peroxide can be a useful agent for the treatment of acne, but probably doesn't really help pigmentation caused by acne or other causes. Retinoids (trentinoin, retin a, (tretinoin) retinol, etc) can help reduce pore blockage as well as reduce pigmentation caused by acne and sun damage. Other tx can be helpful. Consult with your dermatologist in order to learn what options might be most useful to you.
