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:

None, this product and all products from OBAGI doesn;t worth the money at all.
I spend $600.00 on Obagi Nu-derm System. The doctor told me that I should continue using it, event after I have all my face red and my forehead with blisters. He assure me that I need to keep going in order to get good results. Nothing further from the truth after 3 months, my face was always red and sore.
I stop because I couldn;t see any good results, just pain, peeling, redness, flaking.
No it has been two

Cons:

months that I have stop using this product and when a little bit of sun struck my face it turns bloody red. Horrible experience!.
I warn all people who is thinking to buy this product: Don't waste your money and most importatn: Don't risk your health!. I have passed through terrible depression to see my face ruin. I wouldn't wish this to my worst enemy.

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:

Easy to use. Great instructions provided.

Cons:

None

After years of struggling with acne and melasma, I decided to visit a skin care center in my town. I was prescribed the Obagi system and told that within the first several weeks I would see results. Within DAYS, I began to see changes. The system has several steps, but within a few days that no longer seems overwhelming. My melasma over my lip and on my cheeks in unbelievably lighter and my acne gone. No longer do I wake up with new acne....this just after a week on the system. The price was a big shocking at first, but considering how much I have spent over the years trying everything out there with no real results...I was worth it. I would highly recommend this product! I am so very pleased.

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:

I have Clenziderm for normal/oily skin. It is clearing my skin up. I have less cystic acne since I started it two weeks ago.

Cons:

I look like a snake shedding my skin and it hurts a lot! It is very abrasive and painful! I can't wear make-up because of all of the peeling. It's so dry even the wind hurts! And my face is RED!

I hope that the pain, peeling and redness will ease up and there will be healthy skin under there somewhere. I can tell I have less acne already.

Pros:

It is a miracle worker. It's expensive to start the program but the lotions last a really long time (I've only had to replace the toner in over 1 year). It has cured my adult acne 100%, I don't need to wear makeup/concealer before going out any more!

Cons:

Expensive start-up cost, can be drying.

If you are in Miami, go to Dr. Weinman, he really changed my life. [link removed]>The obagi system worked wonders for me, the transformation is phenomenal and extremely quick. It's expensive to start the program but when you break down the cost per bottle and how long it last, it's actually very reasonable. It can be drying, your physician can help you fine tune the best way to combine the products for milder results. In my case I was using the nu-derm system along with some other products and doing chemical peels. Now I'm fully cured, moved to a new city and the new dermatologist I consulted complemented me on my skin! I'm currently only using the cleanser and toner along with a moisturizer. My plan consisted of: Morning: Obagi Cleanser and Toner, Clendagel (not obagi) and 3xWeek a mix of 50/50 Exfoderm and Tolereen Evening: Cleanser, Toner, Alpha beta toner (non obagi), clendagel and 5x per week 50/50 Action and retin-a

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:

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!!

Pros:

Haven't seen any yet

Cons:

Redness, dry, dry dry, and I have more wrinkles two weeks into it than I have ever experiencd before.

Wow. I have seen the results of friends who have used Nu-derm and they look fabulous. I started two weeks ago. The flakes do not bother me so much. I know that will subside. The itchiness will not last either. What is really frightening is the new wrinkles right under my eyes by my nose. OMG. I feel as though I just aged ten years. I am horrified any time I look in the mirror. I will be calling my doctor on Monday.
