Started on AHA 12% souffle today

I'm using it to lighten my face skin's redness from old acne. I'm hoping my face tone will begin to match the fair skin tone of my body.

luckily I don't seem to be sensitive to it. no irritation.

For anyone that has used it, what sunscreen should I use so I don't get darker?

Any high spf sunscreen should work. Just be sure they have UVA-blocking ingredients: avobenzone, titanium dioxide, or zinc oxide. I'll sing the praises of Neutrogena Dry Touch forever.

Because the AHAs are buffered (the 70% solution thing on the bottle) you're getting less than 10% AHA - more like 8%. It shouldn't be irritating. Just avoid anything harsh on your skin while you're using it - menthol, camphor, citrus extracts, etc. You definitely don't need to scrub; the AHAs act as an exfoliant and scrubbing will make your marks more red. I know from stupid experience.
