Pros:

Haven't experience any yet.

Cons:

Expense, acne flares, dryness, peeling, and generally unsightly skin.

I've been on the nu-derm system for over 2 weeks, and everyday I wake up with more pimples. I cleared up my acne w/ accutane over 10 months ago, and started obagi to improve acne scars. Now I'm experiencing acnes flares, which I haven't dealt with in many months. And that's on top of the overall dryness and peeling I'm experiencing. So I'm not too happy. I spoke with a nurse at the doctor's office, and she told me it should clear in a few weeks. But I just feel like this is ridiculous. I set out to improve acne scars, and have reverted back to having active acne. As far as I'm concerned, this is total bullsh*t.

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.

Brilliant‼️
I have been using their products for just over 3 months now and I would say that it iss the best £300 I've ever spent. I no longer have breakouts after years of getting spots on my cheek. I use to use Anti blemish products by Clinique which never did nothing for my skin🙈. I will now go onto using Nu Derm, to get rid of my pigmentation from where the spots have left marks on my skin. I would recommend that people suffering from acne give these products a try. I did and have absolutely no regrets.. When you start using the products your skin will feel a little bit itchy but that's just where your skin is shedding and new skin is forming. People now look at me and ask me if I've been on holiday lol, also telling me I look younger 😳😀🙈, and what have I done. Guess it's that new skin giving me that new glow lol. Very happy with the Obargi Medical products ðŸ'ðŸ¾ðŸ'ŒðŸ½â¤ï¸

Hi deedee, can I ask what system you used? My dermatologist prescribed me the obagi crx system but I'm worried it won't work in my spots and bumpy skin texture. I also have hyperpigmentation :(

Great for brown spots
I've been lucky (not really) to have to deal with acne and also with melasma. Obagi is pricey but certainly helps improve my melasma by a long shot! I just purchase steps 3,4,5. Also make sure you are using retin a with obagi. I do not know how this works for acne prone skin but if you are trying to get rid of melasma or hyperpigmentation then give this stuff a try! I would suggest using once your skin is basically acne free.

Pros:

It started removing the dark spots created by skin damage almost immediately. The tightening and overall look of my skin has improved 75%.

Cons:

I have broken out in tiny bumps on my cheeks that are creating more dark patches on my face.

I am 36 years old and caucasian, I have been on the system for 13 weeks with retin-a and I never really peeled or had a bad reaction and I expected that my sensitive skin would react poorly. I think it would have worked wonders if I was able to control the breakouts. I should mention at about the week 8 mark my skin was perfect the breakouts were gone and the spots were gone for about a week. Then, I had a very stressful and sweaty day and my face broke out the next day and now at week 13 I am covered in tiny bumps and dark spots again and still using the product till I reach the 18 week mark the derm recommended. I think the effectiveness of this product depends on your skin type and any pre existing conditions that may not be corrected by this product.

Pros:

smells natural

Cons:

nothing

its cleared up my skin great. my dermatologist recommended it to me considering i have very oily skin but gave me the normal to dry, and yet it still worked. i was skeptical at first especially because i have extremley oily skin and used the dry skin system. I am going to try the oily skin system and see was happens but i am definitly using this product again.

Pros:

Reduced cyctic acne, improves skin tone and clarity

Cons:

DRY flakey skin in the beginning, feel like you can't move your face

Stick it out. If you stay with this product you will see results. Everyone wants a cure for acne and I know that I'm a person that might not ever get an actual cure. Now my goal is just to manage my acne and this product does exactly that...eventually. The more you use it, the more you will like it if you can stand about a week or two of dry skin. It does subside. This product gives hope for clearer skin.
