Pros:

Obagi NuDerm:
None

Cons:

Horrible breakouts, bright red skin that feels like it is on fire, peeling

I bought this product to correct a few places of hyperpigmentation. This product is way to expensive and damages your skin. I had perfect skin prior to using this product. I never had a problem with Acne. This product gave me Acne and Acne scarring. Now I am spending a fortune at the dermatologist trying to correct the problems that Obagi has caused. It has completely set back my acting and modeling career. Do not waste you money. Your skin will be worse after using this product.

Pros:

it helped even out my skin tone a bit

Cons:

made me break out in the beginning. started getting pimples where i never had them before. caused more scarring because skin becomes so thin and sensitive with the million products they have you use..

i thought this was going to do it for me. i thought my skin would clear up and my skin tone would be uniform. it did help fade some spots faster than leaving it alone.. but i really regret buying and using the products. they caused me to breakout consistently. i went through about 8 weeks on this stuff and it never got better. i dont recommend!!

Pros:

Beautiful skin in 2-4 months, supervision from your skin care specialist or Doctor.

Cons:

cost and irritation especially if you have sensitive skin, plus doctors visits and RX prices

Love obagi, If you can afford it, and stick to it, you will wonderful results, however I have found the SSC glycolic system to be as effective if I just add the Retin A to my routine. I have been using in this order: Serious skin care glycolic cleanser, no toner needed, fading fluid (2% hydroquinone), glycolic gel, followed by retin-a 0.5% or C-serum drops or caps (one or the other not both together)every other night, was just as effective in revealing beautiful skin without quite as much irritation on my sensitive skin. Your skin will peel and burn too, I don't think you can get these results without it. As far as sunscreen ladies, I have found the best sunscreen for your face hands down is Banana Boat spf 50 tear free for babies. No stinging or tearing and a little goes a long way. Feels heavy at first, let it absorb in for about 10 minutes before applying makeup, looks beautiful under mineral makeups and smoothes the peeling rough stuff caused by the acids and retin

Nice solid products
Disclaimer- I didn't do the whole Obagi skin care system. However, the Obagi products I used were good quality and gentle. Yes, they're pricier than drugstore products but without a good skin care base to work from, skin problems can't effectively be treated. The cleanser was great- not drying but it washed my oily skin well. The toner was the same way- didn't make my skin feel tight but rather refreshed without being oily. The matte sunscreen was good, as I didn't have to worry about it breaking me out in pimples or being too sticky/heavy. I'd recommend Obagi products in general.

Pros:

Within the first week my skin felt so smooth. It really reduced the hard bumps. Within two weeks I noticed a really big difference. If I did get a bump here or there is faded FAST. I am 5 months pregnant and my doctor totally approved this product. Acne has been a problem through-out my pregnancy so far.

Cons:

I am on week three, and I am starting to break out again...so we shall see, but I am going to stick to it. It has not helped with my black heads at all. If I use a lot of step 3 (normal to oily skin line) I look like my face is on fire. It burns and leaves me very red.

So far, even with the redness and burning..it has helped more than hurt. My doctor approved it for pregnancy..just keeping fingers crossed it continues to help.

Pros:

The clenziderm system works really well and you can see results fast!!! it doesn't have a bad smell to it and the bottles seem to last quite a while!

Cons:

It is pretty pricey. Also, it makes you very dry!

This is a really good system. It cleared up my skin in about 3 weeks and it is keeping it clear. It does dry you out quite a bit, so I just use it once a day. I use a regular salicylic acid wash in the mornings. This way, i am not so dry and the system lasts longer so the costs becomes a little more manageable. I think it works great, if you haven't found anything that helps your skin, give it a try!

Pros:

Lightens skin, lessens fine lines, adds moisture for dewy complexion

Cons:

none so far, except that it's quite expensive.

I have been thrilled with the results of the Obagi Nu-Derm system. I have noticed that open pores are no longer visible. My freckles have lightened to almost non-existent and the use of the blender with the retin-A (Tretonin)results in no peeling or redness whatsoever. I have absolutely no complaints at all, just high praise.

Pros:

STOPS stubborn cystic acne! Moisturizes your skin; Repairs the damaged layer; Peels away deadskin cells; Evens out discoloration & gives you a new life! Just follow the easy day & nightly routine & watch it develop awesome skin! Great for ASIAN skin!

Cons:

Minor peeling and redness...Like all products, it may or may not work for everyone! But after suffering from acne for over 15 years, what else was I gonna lose?! Just try it & let the product speak for itself!

Like everyone else suffering from acne(especially adult cystic acne) at 32 I thought that I would just have to live with bad skin for life. Since my teens I have tried over the counter medication, PROACTIVE, MURAD & a lot of pills. The worst 1 was probably MURAD that made me breakout into double/triple headed cystic acne at a time(EWW!)& just darkened my face with scars. Getting a new job & moving to a new city, it was tough for me to "celebrate" with such embarrasing skin. Then an esthetician recommended OBAGI. At 1st of course I was very hesitant as it sounded too good to be true(like most products). Plus the cost is no joke! After some research on it, I got convinced to give it a try. After 4 weeks I immediately saw the difference. The joy of waking up every morning & not finding new acne is just priceless. Best of all, it peeled away the scars and gave me a better looking skin. It's been over 6 months now & my skin never looked better. I totally recommend it! Best of luck!
