Pros:

Clears up acne
Removes dark spots and pigment issues
odorless
worth every penny

I was suffering from moderate acne, I was now trying a third dermatologist in which he recommended obagi. Best thing I ever did, in an ideal world i would of got flawless skin in 2 weeks, but that didnt happen...lol....The Dr told me skin regenerates in 3 months and that how long it too for me to have flawless skin. i did see improvement in about 4-5 weeks. The Dr gave me an exfoliating pad that you can buy from any drug store to use along with my cleanser. This is the reason that I didnt really experience peeling. He gave me different products from the obagi lines to taylor make the kit for my skin, he focused on the acne and said we would worry about the spots later. Luckily the regimen fixed both problems at the same time. He gave me the clenziderm acne clenser, tretenion 0.05%, Nu Derm moisterizer and Obagi-C sunblock spf 30. I used thes products day and night (sunscreen only in the daytime) and now I am proud not to wear make up, I can remember ever having such nice skin. I strongly recommend this product. It seems costly up front but my kit last over for months a little goes such a long way. If you divide what you pay buy the time frame it last its the price of over the counter products. and the good part it you would have to buy all the parts at once when you are replenishing it, which makes it more affordable.

Pros:

Three step system, easy to use, and gentle on the skin. No peeling, drying, or excessive burning. Clears acne scars and diminishes pore size. Make-up goes on more smoothly.

Cons:

None thus far.

I've struggled with adult cyctic acne since my late teens to early twenties. I am in my late twenties now and it is difficult to find products for young/semi-aging skin. I have tried Proactive, Oil of Olay, and Nuetragena. Those products only treated my skin for a few weeks and stopped working. I highly recommended this product because it combines the perfect amount of acne treatment and mositurizer to protect skin. The cleanser is gentle and leaves my skin clean. The therapeutic lotion contains 5% benzoyl peroxide which targets acne (such as mine, cystic). Finally the soothing moisturizer has 20% glycerin (which most other acne products tends to take out of their prodcuts and replace with chemicals) which creates a shield to soothe and protect my skin. If you are tired of spending extra time getting ready to 'cover' your skin or worrying about your skin, consider this product. I am a busy woman,and the last thing I need to worry about is my skin. The best compliment came from my husband; when he told me how beatiful my skin looks. :o) Give Obagi a try for your skin and peace of mind.

Pros:

This product works no matter your age!

Cons:

This product can be a little pricey but you can find it on E-Bay for around $22 each item.

I'm a 41 yr old female. I started using this about 4 years ago. I've always had problems with acne and it made me vary self conscious about my face. Around the same time my son (15) started getting acne. I was very concerned that he'd start feeling the same way about his face so I introduced the product to him. His face cleared so fast and his skin looked so good that his friends at school started asking what he was using. H'e now 18 and has great skin, smooth & acne free. Now my 13 yr old is using it. I've never been able to find a better product and I'm sure we'll continue to be an Obagi family for years to come.

Pros:

Fights pigmentation, unclogs pores.

Cons:

Initial flakiness, dryness and irritation.

After only 25 days of using Obagi Nu-Derm kit for dry/sensitive skin with Retin A Micro, melasma on my forehead and post-inflammatory pigmentation on my cheeks are almost gone. I have tried topical behind-the-counter hydroquinone and Meladerm with no results. I think the latter actually made my overall skin tone and pigment spots darker. Obagi Nu-Derm kit is truly transforming my skin. I can`t wait to see my skin at week 12.

Pros:

Removes huge blemishes. You will see results in 2 months. Trust me. Wear no makeup girls. If you want to see results don't wear makeup while in this process, also follow intrucions! I love this stuff. (: IT REMOVED ALL MY ACNE. I had acne for 2 years and it removed.

Cons:

It peels. But the peeling means that its killing all the bad skin cells. Number 3 might burn on the first days. BUT EVERYTHIGN ELSE IS PERFECT!

Try to drink waterrr. No makeup. Wash your face 2 times a day only.

Pros:

use Obagi clear , basic , 1 percent retin a , cleanser and toner. you must use products religiously and get through the burning and peeling , first three months or so depending on persons skin type. I used evenings only , did not apply during the day.

Cons:

see above....There will always be some peeling which I control with a damp washcloth , I try to avoid moisturizers as they are counter productive to the treatment

once your skin gets accustomed to the product , just keep on using it, dont stop , this product is THE FINEST IN THE WORLD for controlling acne , tightening, controlling melasma,and smoothing the skin. Changes the molecular structure of the skin for the better , but it is a difficult product to use for the first three months but once you get past the breakin period your on yur way to terrific skin .

Pros:

I've been using it for over 14 months & it STILL WORKS! Since you're not going to able to finish all the products at the same time, you can buy them per piece online. Lots of sales everytime. What else can you invest on anyway but your FACE!

Cons:

A little expensive than your over the counter drugstore products. Also need to stay away from the sun. So this is not for those "outdoorsy/beach" people who likes baking under the sun!

I'm a healthy Asian male in my 30s who's suffered from cystic acne since my teens. Up until last year, nothing worked for that stubborn curse! Tried PROACTIVE, MURAD, NEUTROGENA & a handful of other acne products & oral atibiotics for over a decade! After a couple of months, it either came back or it became WORSE! Double/triple headed cystic acne & lotsa blackheads. I remember waking up & just as 1 zit is drying up, a new 1 comes out almost everyday. I was hopeless! Thank God I came across this product thru my esthetician & i've been acne free for over 14 months now. It may not be the product for everyone, but it sure worked for me. All of my close friends & family have noticed a huge difference & i have not gotten anything but complements. You will have the usual purging period, redness & flaking as new skin is trying to resurface. But as long as you stick to the program for a good 180 days(6 mos), you'll see the big difference! Be patient, but more imporantl - START NOW!!!

Pros:

It actually works! I have been using it for about 2 weeks and I am almost flawless! :))

My cousins have been using it long-term, and nothing horrible has happened to them.

I had pretty severe blackheads on my forhead and chin and they're clear!

Cons:

It sort of burns until your skin gets use to the product!

It's so worth it!! I would recommend it!! :)) And I'm sorry if it doesn't work with you, just smile and try something new!

Pros:

leaves skin smooth, controls acne and prevents scabbing picking at acne

Cons:

Pricey

ABout 3 years ago my skin went crazy with acne. I tried proactive but that stopped working, clindamycin, antibiotics, dermatiologist visits and facials but nothing got mu acen under control. What i used prior left my skin congested, bumpy, dry and covered with post acne hyperpigmentation. The obagi system works! Just started on 1st May and I can already see a difference in my skin tone! I use the Obagic 3 step clenziderm during the day and the Obagi clear with retin a at night. Plus i now drink plenty of water. Its just been 2 days and i can see improvement in my skin tone. I will post an update after some weeks have passed.
