Hydroquinone (aclaro skin bleach) is used to lighten the dark patches of skin (also called hyperpigmentation, melasma, "liver spots," "age spots," freckles) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin. This product also contains sunscreens to help prevent spots from returning due to sunlight or ultraviolet light exposure.
Aclaro is distributed to you buy a dermatologist and is a cream based substance that i use to help get rid of my dark spots. Prescription Only so get a Dermatologist.
Also there are over the counter bleach creams that will help.
This medicine works by blocking the process in the skin that leads to discoloration.
If you are desperate or just want fast results:
Laser Removal of Pigmented Spots
Dark spots on the skin can often be effectively removed when treated with the Q-Switched Ruby laser. The laser works by passing a special laser light through the skin and this light energy is selectively absorbed by the dark pigment of the brown spot. The absorption of the light energy results in the partial destruction of the dark pigment and then over 4 to 6 weeks following the treatment, your body's own defense system carries away the remainder of the shattered pigment particles.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symptoms and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Niacinamide face cleansing pads are effective and simple way to keep acne away. Just place a pad on the pimple and watch it fade away. Lavender Oil helps prevent skin drying. Niacinamide pads are also known as Vitamin B3 pads or Nicotinamide pads. Give them a try and you will be pleasantly surprised. Niacinamide also helps diminish skin-hyperpigmentation (acne scars).
