I want a cream for post acne red hyperpigmentation my skin is sensitive and oily?

Multiple choices: Acne scars that are dark can be faded by prescriptions containing hydroquinone or products such as finacea. Red acne scars can be faded using laser treatment or treatment with intense pulsed light. Consult a dermatologist to see what would work best for you.
