Hi Gurukathir,I would stop using the glycolic acid cream for a week and let your skin have a break and see if the itching and darkening get better. If you want to continue using the cream, I would not use it on a daily basis. It sounds like your skin is sensitive, so using it every other day or every 2 days is probably a better option for you. Continue wearing your spf and reapply every 2 hours to prevent the skin darkening from getting worse. Best of luck!
