Now I have been using acne.org regimen for almost 3 weeks, and after the first week my skin started to pell off very much and then my skin became a few shades darker(especially on my cheeks,chin and around my mouth) . It happens only after I apply acne.org' s moisturizer, before I apply it my skin has a normal pale beige color, and then it becomes almost yellow, I'm like the Simpson's third sister. I follow the instructions of usage strictly. I don't know if it is ok or do I have an allergy. Please help me!
