Acne marks, flaking and bad pigmentation (Photo)

Question

I'm currently on oratane 10mg and as expected my skin is a bit drier and more sensitive. Now my face is literally 3 shades darker than the rest of my body (see 2nd picture) and it worries me a lot. I do use an oil-free sunscreen everyday. What lotions/ creams can I use to (1) restore my natural complexion (2) ease the flaking and (3 )reduce the appearance of dark/acne marks.

Dark under eye circles can make you look tired and older than you are. I would use a combination protocol that includes topical Melarase creams first, followed by a combination of injectable fillers, fractional laser, and RF to blend out the eyelid hollowness and tighten the skin. 
Recommended Creams: Melarase Brightening Kit
MelaClenz
Melarase AM
Melarase PM
Melapads
Replenish Retinoid Cream
