Pros:

it works
fades scars
smells natural

Cons:

nothing

its cleared up my skin great. my dermatologist recommended it to me considering i have very oily skin but gave me the normal to dry, and yet it still worked. i was skeptical at first especially because i have extremley oily skin and used the dry skin system. I am going to try the oily skin system and see was happens but i am definitly using this product again.

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:

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.

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:

helps rid scarring
prevents acne
clean finish
good smell

Cons:

semi-drying
slight burning sensation at first

Obagi Clenziderm MD - Normal to Oily System: I have used a lot of products to try and rid my face from acne, including Accutane. This is seriously the only product that actually works for me! This was going to be the last product I was going to try - I was hopeless. I read many many reviews and opinions and I feel, for me, I found the best method with this product.

Pros:

Gets rid of dark spots almost immediately.

Cons:

Pricey. Lasts a good while though

I only use the obaji clear. If you have dark spots, (smooth but darkened) scars from acne, or pregnancy discoloration that remained post-partum this stuff is awesome. It'll start to go away within a day or two and be totally gone by 2 weeks. It also has a side effect of tightening my pores a bit so I don't seem to get as many really deep pimples, just blackheads.

Pros:

+ it will make my skin a lot smoother/thinner
+ BARELY ANY pimples come up (and if they do, they're just small ones.)
+ my skin looked SO MUCH better after 3-4weeks
+ it made my skin lighter also

Cons:

- during the 1st week, my skin was red
- 2nd week: skin was dry (it was peeling a lil)
- makes my skin a bit tight (so use moisturizer)
- i could barely move my mouth area because it was dry&tight

Okay. I normally don't write reviews, but I just HAD to write one for this product! (which is the clenziderm normal to oily.) I have acne prone skin, but my acne isn't severe. I would just have pimples grow spread out all over my face. Buttt....I was getting tired of it so when I heard about this product, I decided to give it a try. Like I mentioned under the cons, it made my skin red for 2 days and then it became dry for about a week then it started peeling for a week. SO I HAD TO BE VERY VERY PATIENT. after 3-4 weeks my skin was x10000000 better. Now, I get compliments from my family members telling me my skin is a lot better. So I say people should give it a try. :)

Pros:

A great product! It cleared up my skin faster than anything and after 6 years of battle I finally think I have a chance at being free of acne with this line.

Cons:

I bought the cleanziderm normal to dry because even for my combination/sensitive skin the bp can be harsh. It took about a month to see results.

Patience is key. Also, just becasue it says for normal to dry skin types doesn' t mean that it is not for you. Sometimes the products made for "normal" skin are way too harsh.

Pros:

Works very well for me!!!

Cons:

Expensive for the entire line.

I know everyone skin is different and I have read post about obagi making their skin peel, break outs and blackheads. I 'm sure this product does not work for everyone, however many women don't take into consideration of the time the skin was abused and when the skin is going through a transformation the old skins has to shed and that did happen to me when I first began using the product. For two months my skin look uneven, broke out a little and my skin was oiler than usual but the dead skin was shedding.The new skin was being rejuvenated. I am a 43 yr old with a 19 yr daughter and a 6yr son. People do not believe I have a 19 yr old daughter. About a year 1/2 ago I become unemployed and could not purchase my product and my skin slowly began to revent back and I hated it. I am now back on the Rx-C and my skin is starting to glow again. I also would like to share that for those who stick with it and see results, that once your skin is where you want it, you can cut back on using the product daily. I would use my 4% hydro and exfol lotion every other day which helps the product last even longer. I don't buy the entire line the suncreen and washing lotion are pretty much the same save your money on that part.

Pros:

I've been using dry/normal skin obagi cleanziderm kit. I used the oily ski obagi cleanziderm kit before this and it dried my skin out sooo much...so I switched to the dry/normal and I really like it! It has definitely helped calm my acne down and is beginning to finally clear. I have only used the products for 3 weeks, and my dermatologist said that it will take at least a month to begin to see the dramatic results.

Cons:

It's expensive but it is supposed to last 2-3 months..so really that's only 40-60 dollars a month..which is by far less than all the products that I have bought and haven't worked.

Stick with the products, don't give up easily on them. :)
