Pros:

I use the Obagi ClenziDerm 5% benzoyl peroxide serum gel. It does a great job at eliminating pimples on my chin.

Cons:

Pretty dang expensive! That's why I only use it as a spot treatment.

This is a good product. 5% BP is very potent. And since it's a gel that liquifies on contact, it goes deep down into your pores to clear blemishes. It can make your face dry and red, so make sure to use sparingly!

Pros:

It's a great product !

Cons:

It does make your face dry and red

This is my 2nd week of using obagi nu derm system. so far my face is getting dry and pimples on my forehead and side of my face and chin, it's very itchy thoug and turn red. this 2nd week i noticed that my pimples on my face is fading away. I don't peel though just wondering if what i'm doing something wrong. if i don't see any reviews online i would say this thing doesn't work for me. but i will hang in there and will stay until the trial period of 3 months. see what will happen in the next weeks i hope something good will happen to my face.

Pros:

Product works very well for regenerating your skin, getting rid of cystic acne, lightening age/sun spots, etc

Cons:

You really need to be dedicated to the entire system and use it daily for at least 6 months or your affects may not be as good

I have been on Obagi Nu Derm with Retin A for about 4 months. This product is worth the money, but be prepared to keep up with the system for at least 6 months. It will dry your skin and cause redness, but if cracking or bleeding occurs then you should use the product every other day. Another solution is using a non-drying lotion cleanser that isn't quite as "stripping" as the Obagi Gel.

Pros:

Worked in less than 3 weeks! Obagi Clenziderm not Obagi Nu-Derm. Lightened scars,less breakout,acne dries faster. Affordable and last!

Cons:

Your face will be dried and red for a couple of days. Makeup can eliminate the redness.

I love this product. It worked so fast and the result are soo great. I use to wear heavy makeup to cover my imperfection, but after 1 month of this product Im bearly putting any one! I'm seeing impovment everyday and so far I have alot of positive experience with this product. I think I found the product that I can stick with and know that it will work! If you want a product that will work at a decent price for acne usE OBAGI CLENZIDERM! I have used the Obaggi Nuderm before, It worked good, but the obagi acne line worked better when it comes to acne!

Pros:

helped scarring and reduced breakouts a lot
i very rarely get the big painful ones now and if i do it's only one at a time

Cons:

severe peeling and after a few months my skin was very dehydrated and i had to discontinue steps 2,4,and 6

this is a great product even though i had bad side effects after awhile i'm only on step 5 now because it doesn't dry out my skin i would use this again i used all steps for 4 months and i continue to do step 5 and i've been using obagi since sept 07

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:

This is the only thing that has worked for my hormonal acne.

Cons:

Extremely dry and flaky skin for the first month. Lots of peeling and redness. Sensitivity to the sun. DO NOT USE EXFODERM FORTE. IT CAUSED MY SKIN TO BREAK OUT MORE. I use all the products except Exfoderm.

This is the only program that has worked for my hormonal acne. I had beautiful clear skin all my life until I hit the age 22. I started getting cystic acne in my cheeks and my jawline as well as the side of the face right next to my eyes. I have tried EVERYTHING. Spent thousands of dollars for several years. Nothing cleared up my skin like Obagi Nu-Derm. However, you really have to stick with the program because for the first month your skin will get extremely worse. It's very uncomfortable as it causes excessive peeling and dryness. The acne gets even worse and you break out everywhere. But if you stick it through, you will start seeing results after one month. I stopped using Obagi Nu Derm after a 3 month program and had clear skin for another 1 year with maintenance. When I stopped using the products, I started breaking out severely again. Now I am back on the program along with Spironolactone and YAZ. Am starting to see results again.

Pros:

Treats discoloration, scarring, great to use for half a year for these problems

Cons:

DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU HAVE ACNE especially long term grade 2 or above acne! TRUST ME I KNOW! Acne disapears but will come back jsut the same months later. LEAVES SKIN VERY VERY RED and embarassing. FRAGRANCE IS NOT GOOD FOR SKIN OR HYDROQUINONE!!!!

This is a very good product if you are willing to have BRIGHT red skin for months and months, took my help from a PROFESSIONAL (DERMALOGICA TEACHER) to get rid of the OBAGI damage, took ALOT OF MONTHS! If you are willing to go through it and the expense it is worth for scarring and discoloration BUT NOT IF U HAVE ACNE caus it will come bak. If i used it any longer i would have gotten SKIN CANCER!! BE WARNED! INVEST IN LASER PROCEDURE INSTEAD! IF YOU HAVE OBAGI DAMAGE TAKE MY WORD- GO TO SEE A DERMALOGICA SPECIALIST THEY ARE VERY GOOD IN TREATING OBAGI DAMAGE AND ANY SKIN CARE PROLEMS, its wat the celebrities use and it is more affordable and doesnt damage skin.
