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:

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.

Pros:

December of this year will be 2 years on obagi.. i still love it. i use the products 7 days a week, that might be overdoing it but still about 3 days out of the month my skin peels a bit, and i get a little red in the face, but i like it.

Cons:

although my skin is so much better i wish it took better care of the wrinkles

I love the product. i have one daughter 25 and another 22. i want them to go on it, but right now they are not willing to pay the inital investment. but they do borrow my stash.. The cleaser, and toner anyway. I have people comment on my skin all the time. and for the first time in my life i DO NOT have to put on makeup and have changed when i do where it to just a tinted moisturizor.

Pros:

It's one of the only topical regimens I have ever tried that worked so quickly. I am talking about the Clenziderm MD Normal/Oily 3 step system.

Cons:

It did make my skin a little dry at first but you just have to alternate to using the BP every other day if your skin gets too dry.

The system uses a liquified form of 5% benzoyl peroxide solubilized to 1/10,000 the size of any other benzoyl peroxide on the market for deeper follicular penetration. Most benzoyl peroxides are formulated with insoluble crystals that, when applied, remain largely on the surface of the skin because they are too big to penetrate the follicle. It feels amazing on your skin!! The cleanser has a cooling menthol feel so your inflamed blemishes get a sigh of relief! I used it and it effectively cleared me up, I wouldnt even break out when it was my menstrual cycle.

Pros:

cleared cystic acne

Cons:

i have sensitive skin and did have the irritaion in the begining but was well worth sticking with it b/c my skin is the best it has been since I started getting acne.
products are expensive at first but lasted longer than I thought they would.

yes the ugly side effects were present in the begging and it took about 2 months till my skin fully adjusted. It was worth those two uncomfortable months to get the clear, more even toned skin that I now have! I tried many treatments before this but this is what works best for me. Wish I knew about this option years ago. It is expensive at first but becomes more affordable once you you transition to the maintaince program.

Pros:

Clears up acne!!, evens skin tone, leaves a nice glow to the skin. All steps in program were numbered.

Cons:

expensive, peel a lot at first along with dryness and flaking but it's worth it!

I had used obagi last year for about 8 months. I had mild/moderate acne on my forehead and chin. I discontinued using it in the summer because of the sun, but have just recently started back up. I used it exactly how my doctor told me A.M. #1 cleanser,#2 toner, #3 clear, and # 4 Exfoderm, #6 sunblock P.M. #1 cleanser, #2 toner, # 3 clear, and #5(bleaching cream) mixed with .01 % tretinoin. (used tretinoin every other night. Along with obagi I got weekly microdermabrasions for 4 weeks which really helped with the peeling. I am 20 so I did not have a great amount of peeling. It only lasted about 3 weeks and then it was amazing how clear and even my skin was. I read a lot of bad reviews of this product and wanted to offer some adive. If you are peeling too much use treinoin every other night and #4 Exfoderm every other day instead of every day. this really made a difference for me. I love obagi and hope more people will try it. It takes some time but the results are a

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.
