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

Cons:

drying of skin
made pores larger
lots of congestion
blackheads

I have read many reviews and this product is excellent for some folks and absolutely terrible for others..to include me!! I was very loyal to obagi and did all phases. My face now looks disgusting. This system is terrible for those with sensitive acne-prone skin. I have been taking pics and my skin looked better before i started at the spa. My face is so congested and so many blood capillaries are broken I did not leave the house for a few days. With the retina and no moisturizer, this skin care is way too abrasive! I was getting cysts as well on my chin constantly. I changed spas finally and on a slow road to recovery...

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:

Obagi NuDerm gets rid of light discolorations

Cons:

Caused cystic acne which I had been free of during my time on ProActiv. Also caused blackheads which I had never had before & now I can't get rid of them. Has cleared up my forehead but that its. Sales people try to push additional, unnecessary products. I can't keep up with the cost.

I've used faithfully for 6 months and am very unhappy that I've been screwed out of so much money and look even worse than before. Bad for those who are prone to cystic-type acne.

Pros:

Great looking skin!

Cons:

Dry and flaky skin

I am 38 years old and started the system a few weeks ago based on several friend's suggestions. It has worked great for me. She also had good advice to help w/the drying effect-use Cetaphyl lotion-spf 15 after the last step( step 5) in the morning before you put on make-up. It has helped a ton w/the flaking and redness. Also, I am only using blender/retin A every other day. My doctor said to take it slow and not "power through" the bad phase of break-outs, increased wrinkles and dry skin-which I saw all of in the first week. It has gotten a lot better now and my skin is looking clear and feel sift. The wrinkles are still looking worse but I do think those will get better as I continue the system.

Pros:

IT'S A BRIGHT NEW DAY...FINALLYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cons:

Pricey and untrustworthy/pushy/insensitive sales girls!

Im 39, olive/tan and have had acne scars on my cheeks since pubirty, accompanied with discoloration and shadows. Ive been on the nuderm system for 10 days and Im shocked at what im seeing. I just want to cry tears of joy! Sure theres peeling but i want more. I love seeing the progress. Spots are almost all gone and the acne scars a bubbling up, ready to shed the years of anguish!! Even with the peeling I'm getting complaments. Thats how bad I was. DOES ANYONE KNOW how I can accelorate the peeling or is that not good? Also, is scrubbing the dead skin off with a washcloth ok, to allow the meds to get to the new skin or am I causing damage. Pain I can take, I have my whole life. I just dont want to get to anxious. ANYONE? Thank you so mch:)

Pros:

Saw results fast.

Cons:

$$$$$$$$$$

I started getting acne due to makeup and stress but very light i noticed it didn't go away and scheduled a apt at a derm. office. so i have been using for about 2.5 weeks and i notice some clearing up but i know im not done yet. seems to me live i got many visits and $$$ to spend before im done. I didnt think my skin was that bad.

Pros:

Smooth, evened out skin, redness reduced, less breakouts

Cons:

take too long to see results!

I basically started this is july, and now it's november, and I still don't see drastic changes. I still get breakouts, and I still have some redness. However, it did reduce a lot of the redness i had, and smoothed out my face! I also get less breakouts. my face used to be bumpy, and rough, but now it's soft and smooth. I think i need to wait a little bit longer to see the realy results. But, if you have oily skin, and have scars and unevenness, this is great for you. this product is not for somone who is impatient, but patience is key to every product out there.

Pros:

Sun spots faded somewhat...

Cons:

ACNE ACNE ACNE.... bad breakouts!!!

Ok, so Ive been using Obagi Nu Derm religiously for the past 5 weeks and I dont know if I really see a change - in my sun spots. Being that I live in Hawaii - Im out in the sun a ton and this is the reason why I purchased this system. The bad part - holy cow! I feel like crying every morning because this system has caused me to break out more than I've ever had before!!! Acne all along my jaw line and chin!! I ready to give this system up!! it's not worth trading sun spots for MORE ACNE!!!! not worth it!!
