January 5, 2009

Pros:

Really nothing.

Cons:

Made my face break out with painful pimples, black heads all over my face, made my facereally red , and itches a lot

I had bad acne for a while. I went to a dermatologist and my face cleard up . After my face had been clear for a year, I wanted to go after the scars. I went to a doctor/medspa office. The doctor told me obagi would get rid of my scars. As soon as I started using it my face began to break out with cystic acne, and blackheads covered my face. I went back and told him this was happening and how I read oil was in the ingredients.He told me its ok, just keep using it. So I stayed on it for a few months. Now my face is 10 times worse than it was.

GREAT FOR SKIN, stopped using face wash
April 17, 2008

Pros:

Makes skin soft.

Cons:

Makes acne worse, really expensive, sun sensitivity.

Obagi NuDerm with retin-A made my acne worse than it had ever been before. I stuck it out past what the doctors called the purging period (6-8 weeks) and the pimples just kept rearing their ugly heads. My skin was also so sensitive that when i washed it, sometimes the zits would start bleeding, so now i also have acne scars that i never had before. I went on this stuff so my face would be flawless before my wedding, but it turns out it made my face so much worse than it had ever been before. I'm back on proactiv and my face looks considerably better, but now i have to wait out weeks, possibly months for the red dots to go away. i just hope i can get rid of them before my wedding. also, sun sensitivity is horrible. if u love to be outdoors, hiking, cycling, surfing, snowboarding, whatever... this stuff is not for you, i learned that the hard way.

Pros:

Beautiful, Glowing, Radiant, Sexy, Skin!

Cons:

Drying, and peeling for the first 3 weeks

I have tried several different products since I was 16 years old. Now I am 21, and I can honestly say that I have found the solution for acne from my own personal experience. Obagi nu derm is great! Yes, this first month is very harsh, but the results are 100% worth it. I never thought that there was a product that worked so well. Obagi nu derm is not only for acne, but also for scars, hyper pigmentation, freckles, and wrinkles.

Pros:

Worked in less than 3 weeks! Obagi Clenziderm not Obagi Nu-Derm. Lightened scars,less breakout,acne dries faster. Affordable and last!

Cons:

Your face will be dried and red for a couple of days. Makeup can eliminate the redness.

I love this product. It worked so fast and the result are soo great. I use to wear heavy makeup to cover my imperfection, but after 1 month of this product Im bearly putting any one! I'm seeing impovment everyday and so far I have alot of positive experience with this product. I think I found the product that I can stick with and know that it will work! If you want a product that will work at a decent price for acne usE OBAGI CLENZIDERM! I have used the Obaggi Nuderm before, It worked good, but the obagi acne line worked better when it comes to acne!

Pros:

THESE PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING!!!

NONE

EVERYONE WITH ACNE NEEDS TO USE THESE PRODUCTS - THERE IS NOTHING BETTER
March 21, 2009

Pros:

felt good to be doing something

Cons:

made my skin peel until is bled, and even after 10 weeks it still peeled and hurt contrary to what they'd promised

Don't bother, especially if you have sensitive or dry skin. I had cystic acne, which I got rid of with accutane, and was going to try to sort out the scars. They are redder now than before, and the area around my mouth peeled so much it bled, so that's made the scars there worse too.
May 30, 2008

Pros:

helped scarring and reduced breakouts a lot
i very rarely get the big painful ones now and if i do it's only one at a time

Cons:

severe peeling and after a few months my skin was very dehydrated and i had to discontinue steps 2,4,and 6

this is a great product even though i had bad side effects after awhile i'm only on step 5 now because it doesn't dry out my skin i would use this again i used all steps for 4 months and i continue to do step 5 and i've been using obagi since sept 07

Pros:

Gets rid of hyperpigmentation, clogged pores.

Cons:

None. except for the price if that matters to you.

I have ethnic skin with the curse of hyperpigmentation. A inexperienced facialist damaged my skin by extracting my pores and I was left with a really ugly dark scar on my face. Nothing worked.I finally went to a dermatologist who specializes in ethnic skin and he recommended the Obagi Nuderm. I, too, was skeptical but I finally caved in and boy am I glad I did. I use the entire system and within 3 WEEKS my hyperpigmentation is gone, the scar has almost faded, my pores are cleaned and my skin just glows. I think that the Obagi Nuderm is best for ethnic aging skin as it also lessens wrinkles. It is pricey but the products should last many months. I will not waste my money the way I have in the past with products that just do not work. You can purchase the Obagi Nuderm products online but I suggest that you get a recommendation first from a reputable dermatologist. I had no side effects. I'll make you sun sensitive. I wear the suncreen in the Obagi Nuderm as well and no breakouts. SUPER!
