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:

This product has given me the best results out of EVERYTHING I have tried (OTC products, prescriptions, antibiotics, etc). I still have acne but this has helped a lot especially with deep scars, it will smooth them right out and no more crater face.

Cons:

I used Obagi NuDerm 6 step system with tretinoin cream of .1%. With this product you will have redness, will need sunblock, and sensitivity to the sun. It is important to stay out of the sun while using this product as it will cause easy irritation.

The system contains other products that lighten the skin which help with lightening scars. I noticed the crater scars I had on my face completely smoothed out, and I am working on getting rid of my purple/brown/red spotting which takes time as I have been using this for almost over a year, which are now a light pink color.The smell of #5 is nasty but it's the corrector cream that does wonders over night espcially when used with the tretinoin cream. The tretinoin .1% cream is very strong. Use it very lightly because if you use a lot overnight your skin will literally flake off. I would know since I used a bunch one night to get rid of a new pimple. However, the tret cream will dry up your pimple so quick. A LOT quicker than Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. With other products, including prescriptions, it would take a couple weeks for my pimple to go away. With this it went away within a couple of days. So be gentle if you do choose to use Tret cream. The lowest is .04% I think.

Pros:

It really works!!!

Cons:

It's expensive. But notice how I rated 5 on Affordability? This is because you are supposed to rate if it is worth the price. It definitely is worth the price. Because it works!

I don't work for Obagi. I don't even normally write reviews about product. But I owe it to this site to write this review and you gotta believe me on this one. Obagi works!!! I've been on it for 10 weeks. My acne cleared up and even my rolling acne scars improved. I only wished I had used this sooner. It would have saved me from a lot, a LOT of grief. For you own sake, please try it. You gotta use the whole set for it to work. I use rx Retin-A Micro 1% for the tretinoin. At least for the 1st round, you owe it to yourself to use the whole set. I started seeing a difference within 1-2 weeks. And yes, I'm one of those who have tried everything, even Accutane. I got a really got deal getting my set because a nurse sold me her free sample set. But you should expect to pay $300-$500. I still think it's worth it even if I had paid $500 for my set.

Pros:

Smells great!! Leaves skin feeling verry smooth

Cons:

Price is outrageous

I only use the face wash and I only use it everyone in awhile. I love the smell and I love how my face feels baby soft afterwards. My skin has a tendency to get used to a product very fast and will stop it from working any longer for me. I will say though however I do find myself going back to this face wash more than any others.

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!

June 18, 2009

Pros:

Smoother, softer, gets ride of black heads, scaring, the list can go on!! I've tried many products and I had moderate to heavy acne and this has done a major change.

Cons:

For the first few weeks your face will be as red as a lobster and it causes alot of drying, itching, skin cracks close to the mouth and can cause a bit of bleeding...but I must admit it doesn't hurt if you have the cream, it's mostly uncomfortable!

I have been on this product for 1 month and 1 week now, and I can tell the difference between night and day with my skin and my acne. Of course it was very embarassing the first few weeks because it looks like you've caught a tan that simply went bad. I was introduced to this product when I was looking for a private clinic that can help me with my acne since all the other dermatologists that I have ever been to never gave me any thing that got ride of the acne. Right now all I have is blemishes but it will slowly go away I have been told, but I need to continue on the product for 3 months. After 1 month I have eliminated 90% of my acne I only have blemishes and the other 5% to get rid of...hopefully it will be done by month 3. I really think people should try it, I have tried so many products and this one is working in the less amount of time, and it doesn't damage anything internally...just skin shedding...shed baby, shed!!!

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!
