I'm really worried because after using Cosmolite cream, my face turned black. I've been dealing with a lot of skin issues since then. I've seen several dermatologists but nothing has helped. Facials haven't worked either. I now have blackheads, pigmentation, and dark circles. What can I do to fix all of this?

Continue same treatment.
