Pros:

My skin is smoother, the redness has mostly disappeared and I've only had one very small pimple since using.

Cons:

It does sting a little when using, but it's hardly a con after seeing the results. It is expensive, but if you search the web you can find discounted Obaji at various spas/beauty product websites. My doctor had a 25% off Obaji week, so you can find deals.

It really has improved the appearance of my skin. You have to give it at least a month before seeing results starting, but it is worth it. I actually went to the store without makeup the other day. something I have not done in YEARS!!! Is my skin perfect? no, but it has really improved and improved my self confidence.

Pros:

best skin i've ever had, helped me with ACNE, freckles, acne scars. Honestly obagi nu derm is the best product I have ever tired, and let me tell you I've tried many products. Results began to show for me after 4 weeks.

Cons:

Takes 18 weeks to see the real results, stage one is the worst ever almost makes you want to stop using it, skin peels, and possible acne breakouts, this can last up to 2 weeks. Can't use all steps when breastfeeding or pregnate:( Product is expensive

Yes 18 weeks may seem a long, but it's totaly worth it. After stage one (4 weeks) you began to see the results, however the full results are at 18 weeks

Pros:

This has been the best product I have ever used on my adult cystic acne! The soft texture and smoothness has returned to my skin. The overall redness and scars on my face are less visible and my breakouts have decreased 99%.

Cons:

Product results start to show in about 4 weeks so be patient, it is worth it.

I will continue to use this product for the rest of my acne years of my life. It got me the skin I wanted for my wedding and I no longer have cystic acne. Be patient with the product, it can take four weeks to see results. Also skin peeling is to be expected but it is not unbearable. The peeling is mild as if you got a light sun burn and started to peel/flake on certain parts of your face. I experienced this particularly around my mouth and upper cheeks. The peeling lessens over time. Overall, amazing product and worth every penny!

Pros:

It really works!!!

Cons:

It's expensive. But notice how I rated 5 on Affordability? This is because you are supposed to rate if it is worth the price. It definitely is worth the price. Because it works!

I don't work for Obagi. I don't even normally write reviews about product. But I owe it to this site to write this review and you gotta believe me on this one. Obagi works!!! I've been on it for 10 weeks. My acne cleared up and even my rolling acne scars improved. I only wished I had used this sooner. It would have saved me from a lot, a LOT of grief. For you own sake, please try it. You gotta use the whole set for it to work. I use rx Retin-A Micro 1% for the tretinoin. At least for the 1st round, you owe it to yourself to use the whole set. I started seeing a difference within 1-2 weeks. And yes, I'm one of those who have tried everything, even Accutane. I got a really got deal getting my set because a nurse sold me her free sample set. But you should expect to pay $300-$500. I still think it's worth it even if I had paid $500 for my set.

Pros:

I haven't even been on this product for a week and I can already see an INCREDIBLE difference in my skin! I'm so happy I found a product that I have confidence in and can restore my complexion back and possibly better than what it used to be!

Cons:

This product is slightly drying and did not come with a moisturizer.

So worth a try!

Pros:

THESE PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING!!!

Cons:

NONE

EVERYONE WITH ACNE NEEDS TO USE THESE PRODUCTS - THERE IS NOTHING BETTER
June 5, 2009

Pros:

Not only does it work, it improves the skin overall!

Cons:

Expensive. And I had to adjust to the fact that I need to apply 3-4 creams everyday.

It does work. No kidding. My derm recommended this to me when we first met. I was literally very miserable that time, red bumpy pimples and bad scarring. 1st month: It got worst. A lot of peeling, redness, burning sensation. 2nd month: The peeling starts to stop and it show the healthy new skin underneath. 3rd month: you can actually see the improvement. Very very noticeable improvement. I am still using the product and I can't be thankful enough. Matter of fact, I have become a model for my derm's clinic because of the dramatic improvement!

Pros:

If youre looking for a miracle, this is pretty much it. Works fast and the results last.

Cons:

It definitely takes getting used to waiting for each step before you apply the next miracle solution and its annoying at first, especially if you are sleepy!

Ive used every acne product out there for years and nothing has worked quite like this system. After 2 days my skin started clearing up and people are noticing and complimenting me all the time now. I love these products and strongly recommend it! I got mine from Eden Day Spa which is in Marin County. They do some acne laser treatment too which I love and thats really helped as well. I think the combination of treatment and these products really work well together.
