Pros:

Really makes your skin clear and no more breakouts!

Cons:

PEELING PEELING PEELING oh did i mention peeling? It is such a hard program I got really discouraged at times but the peeling has gone down a lot. Now my face is VERY tight. I really hate it and feel freakish

Okay this is a very hard program. But Its worth it. My face is clearing so much (if you can see through the peeling). It is a great program and i have seen the wonders it has done.

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:

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:

Reduced ice-pick scars, minimized pore size, cleared up cystic acne

Cons:

A bit expensive, but when I considered how much I spent in the past fo products that did not work, this was worth it.

I've been an acne sufferer since I was in my early 20's. I'm now 31. It has affected my self esteem and my days are planned around my acne. For the first time, I can wear my hair up and show my skin. It now has a fresh, pink tone to it that looks healthy and clean. My goal is to stop wearing foundation and I think I am close to achieving that.

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.

After 25yrs of acne I think I found my cure! Im on my 2 month and everyday I see more and more imporvment. Thank soo much to Obagi Clenziderm!

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
