Pros:

So far, so good. Within a week of use my skin has gotten noticeably clearer and breakouts have decreased as well.

Cons:

The products don't smell or feel very good. My face is substantially redder after applying the products, and this redness seems to persist for a good while. Hopefully this redness will decrease with time.

Though pricey, so far the kit has done it's job and done it well.

Pros:

Really makes your skin clear and no more breakouts!

Cons:

PEELING PEELING PEELING oh did i mention peeling? It is such a hard program I got really discouraged at times but the peeling has gone down a lot. Now my face is VERY tight. I really hate it and feel freakish

Okay this is a very hard program. But Its worth it. My face is clearing so much (if you can see through the peeling). It is a great program and i have seen the wonders it has done.

Pros:

I started using Obagi approximately 3 weeks ago and it does a good job at clearing your skin from all the exfoliating and bleaching, but for the 1st three weeks your skin looks bad, but it starts to improve quickly

Cons:

It's very expensive and has parabens and other chemicals in it

This would be a good line for someone who is willling to try something new and can afford it. I am starting to see improvements in my skin's color and texture. So I think it was a good investment.

Pros:

After using it for 6 months, I truly cannot think of any pros.

Cons:

Sorry Obagi enthusiasts. The Nu-derm products are overpriced and not worth the hassle. There may be some positive results after a couple of months, but they soon dicipate. The sales woman who sold it to me used it. She stopped and suffered big time.

Go to a Derm! Spas are there solely to make commisions off big ticket items like Obagi. Every derm I spoke with had no praise for Obagi. The products contain a slew of parabens and you have to cake on the layers morning and night. Like I said, at first I noticed some good results with texture, ect...But a few months later, I couldn't control the breakouts anymore. So then I just felt like I was slushing this stuff all over my face, causing more oil buildup, and making it worse. Went to the derm, and they put me on Differin...what a fabulous difference! And I'm on Doryx. My insurance covers it all. Whereas Obagi has a hefty price tag. Don't get suckered in.

Pros:

Clearer skin, smaller pores, stops majority of breakouts and helps heal zits faster, few and minor side-effects

Cons:

Dries out skin, makes it sun-sensitive, makes skin somewhat pink, products leak. Change containers before traveling.

The Clenziderm system has truly been a wonderful product for me. *I also take doxycycline with the system, which certainly has helped basically eliminate breakouts. But Clenziderm smoothes out skin in the way antibiotics don't. If you are scarring and don't want to go for as severe of a treatment as Accutane (like I did five years ago), I would try the Clenziderm system for about two months. If that is not enough, try a mild antibiotic with it -- such as a 100mg of doxy. If you do get the Clenziderm system, it consists of a salycilic cleanser and toner (make sure you wait AT LEAST 10 minutes between cleansing and toning) that you use morning and night. And a nighttime-only benzoyl gel. Using the system correctly is a bit tedious but it's worth it. I especially recommend it for adults/older teens who can keep up with the regimen. For everyone - change pillowcases at least 3 times per week. Keep your hair out of your face at night. And DRINK LOTS OF WATER. Your sk

Pros:

It Works!!! It was worth the money and the wait! Clenziderm (obagi for acne)

After 25yrs of acne I think I found my cure! Im on my 2 month and everyday I see more and more imporvment. Thank soo much to Obagi Clenziderm!

Pros:

lessend the the size of individual pimples, not the excessive number of pimples. faded melasma on cheek, but did not eliminate.

Cons:

Lots of peeling, and flaking. unable to wear makeup due to the severe dry skin. Bright red complection looked like a sun burn.

You need to keep trying products till you find the one that works.If you have tried alot of inexpensive products, and can afford obagi it is might be worth a try. It is $300, but it should last a year. only use a pea size amount for the entire face and allow each lotion to absorb before applying the next one. Good Luck!

Pros:

I am a 50+ woman with age spots and uneven textured skin. The Obagi Nu-Derm line did everything I had hoped. Within 4 months no more age spots and my skin honestly looks 10 years younger, a very smooth, clear and even look and feel.

Cons:

It does have the obvious side effect initially that the other's have said and my doctor warned of, that is the severe dryness, redness and flaking the first 2-3 weeks. It shouldn't burn, if so, the dosage/application needs to be modified. It's pricey

I did not have acne, and after reading the other comments I don't think I would have used it if I had. However, my issue was aging skin, uneven texture, and age spots. The plastic surgeon I was seeing reccommended the Obagi NuDerm line for my specific skin problems and I have to say I am very pleased with the results. In the first 6 weeks I had to go back several times so we could "tweak" the product usage (like changing from the Retin-A Tret cream .05% to the .025%, to using a smaller amount of it daily for 2 weeks than building back up, etc.). I believe the success of this product depends heavily on 3 things: 1. Is it the right product for your needs 2. Working closely with your physician/estheticians 3. Being consistant in your use of the products. My only drawback with the Obagi NuDerm products would be the over-pricing. There is no way in the world that you can convince me that the 2 oz. Clear can't be priced lower than $91.00+tx. Poor economy calls for affordable pricing Obagi

Pros:

Acne cleared!! Nuderm was amazing, but then I stopped birth control and broke out horribly. Went on clenziderm-amazing results in 2 weeks!

Cons:

The BP bottle on the normal skin line leaks like a
siv! Burns like no tomorrow right after applying (would make my husband blow on my face for 20 minutes!)

Go for it! If you're doing the nuderm thing, please give it TIME! You will be gross and peely for 2-4 weeks but your skin will look AMAZING if you stick with it. I've now replaced the retin-a in nuderm with the clenziderm BP and it works like a charm! BTW, I have moderate-severe nodular and cystic breakouts (moderate generally that erupts in severe monthly) and of doxy, minocycline, duac, benzamycin, retin-a, sulpha meds, birth control pills (the whole gamut sans accutane) this is the best treatment yet.

Pros:

in two weeks i have seen the acne go away i still have like one or two pimples but its only been two wks

Cons:

if you use all 3 products everyday, it seems to cause a lot of peeling and drying

use the products sparingly if you have a lot of peeling and drying and that solves the problem. and for hyperpigmentation you can use step 6 of the nuderm obagi line to clear up any dark spots but i would only use it once a day. I use the whole obagi nuderm line and it took me from a bumpy snow leopard to the smoothest most radiant skin ever. The key with nuderm is use a acne cream as step 3 after your toner and it takes 3 months to work but you see results in 1 month. I only stopped using it due to i got pregnant and i looked like a snow leopard again. So i decided to try clenziderm. I like it but the nuderm seemed to be gentler on my skin and worked better.
