Pros:

My skin is smoother, the redness has mostly disappeared and I've only had one very small pimple since using.

Cons:

It does sting a little when using, but it's hardly a con after seeing the results. It is expensive, but if you search the web you can find discounted Obaji at various spas/beauty product websites. My doctor had a 25% off Obaji week, so you can find deals.

It really has improved the appearance of my skin. You have to give it at least a month before seeing results starting, but it is worth it. I actually went to the store without makeup the other day. something I have not done in YEARS!!! Is my skin perfect? no, but it has really improved and improved my self confidence.

Pros:

best skin i've ever had, helped me with ACNE, freckles, acne scars. Honestly obagi nu derm is the best product I have ever tired, and let me tell you I've tried many products. Results began to show for me after 4 weeks.

Cons:

Takes 18 weeks to see the real results, stage one is the worst ever almost makes you want to stop using it, skin peels, and possible acne breakouts, this can last up to 2 weeks. Can't use all steps when breastfeeding or pregnate:( Product is expensive

Yes 18 weeks may seem a long, but it's totaly worth it. After stage one (4 weeks) you began to see the results, however the full results are at 18 weeks

Pros:

I've been using dry/normal skin obagi cleanziderm kit. I used the oily ski obagi cleanziderm kit before this and it dried my skin out sooo much...so I switched to the dry/normal and I really like it! It has definitely helped calm my acne down and is beginning to finally clear. I have only used the products for 3 weeks, and my dermatologist said that it will take at least a month to begin to see the dramatic results.

Cons:

It's expensive but it is supposed to last 2-3 months..so really that's only 40-60 dollars a month..which is by far less than all the products that I have bought and haven't worked.

Stick with the products, don't give up easily on them. :)

Pros:

helps rid scarring
prevents acne
clean finish
good smell

Cons:

semi-drying
slight burning sensation at first

Obagi Clenziderm MD - Normal to Oily System: I have used a lot of products to try and rid my face from acne, including Accutane. This is seriously the only product that actually works for me! This was going to be the last product I was going to try - I was hopeless. I read many many reviews and opinions and I feel, for me, I found the best method with this product.

Pros:

+ it will make my skin a lot smoother/thinner
+ BARELY ANY pimples come up (and if they do, they're just small ones.)
+ my skin looked SO MUCH better after 3-4weeks
+ it made my skin lighter also

Cons:

- during the 1st week, my skin was red
- 2nd week: skin was dry (it was peeling a lil)
- makes my skin a bit tight (so use moisturizer)
- i could barely move my mouth area because it was dry&tight

Okay. I normally don't write reviews, but I just HAD to write one for this product! (which is the clenziderm normal to oily.) I have acne prone skin, but my acne isn't severe. I would just have pimples grow spread out all over my face. Buttt....I was getting tired of it so when I heard about this product, I decided to give it a try. Like I mentioned under the cons, it made my skin red for 2 days and then it became dry for about a week then it started peeling for a week. SO I HAD TO BE VERY VERY PATIENT. after 3-4 weeks my skin was x10000000 better. Now, I get compliments from my family members telling me my skin is a lot better. So I say people should give it a try. :)

Pros:

-Clears acne scars
-Reduces cystic acne

Cons:

-Pricey
-Excessive drying/peeling with first couple of days
-Burns in the beginning

I was recommended by my dermatologist to try the Obagi Clenziderm products and at first, I was hesitant to try it because it is a little pricey and I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. I have severe acne and have tried everything from ProActiv, Murad, Nanocleanse, whatever is out there, I've probably tried it. However, I was pleased with the results after using Obagi for only one month. It has completely cleared my cystic acne and is also reducing my acne scars. I have the scars which caused tiny holes in my face, and after a month, it has turned nearly smooth. It is the only product that has worked for me in clearing my skin in such a short period of time. Although, I recommend using an exfoliator while using these products to help get rid of the dead skin. Hope it works for you!

Pros:

Cleared up my acne in a couple of weeks and I haven't had any since. I've struggled with acne for 12 years. I thought that nothing would work. This is the ONLY product that has worked so consistently.

Cons:

I have nothing bad to say.

Through the years I tried Proactiv, Oil of Olay products, Neutrogena, and on and on. Some would work for a couple of weeks, but, nothing really helped the texture of my skin or really truly got rid of acne all together. I had a real problem with cysts and I would constantly be picking at my face. It wasn't until last fall that my Mom took me for a facial and they suggested the Obagi Clenziderm system. It's 3 products. I've found it online for cheaper than buying it at a Spa. It is well worth the money. I don't worry about my skin anymore. I look great. I wanted to write a review, because I used to comb these reviews looking for answers for what would work and this product has most certainly worked for me. I hope it can help someone else too!

Pros:

A great product! It cleared up my skin faster than anything and after 6 years of battle I finally think I have a chance at being free of acne with this line.

Cons:

I bought the cleanziderm normal to dry because even for my combination/sensitive skin the bp can be harsh. It took about a month to see results.

Patience is key. Also, just becasue it says for normal to dry skin types doesn' t mean that it is not for you. Sometimes the products made for "normal" skin are way too harsh.

Pros:

This has been the best product I have ever used on my adult cystic acne! The soft texture and smoothness has returned to my skin. The overall redness and scars on my face are less visible and my breakouts have decreased 99%.

Cons:

Product results start to show in about 4 weeks so be patient, it is worth it.

I will continue to use this product for the rest of my acne years of my life. It got me the skin I wanted for my wedding and I no longer have cystic acne. Be patient with the product, it can take four weeks to see results. Also skin peeling is to be expected but it is not unbearable. The peeling is mild as if you got a light sun burn and started to peel/flake on certain parts of your face. I experienced this particularly around my mouth and upper cheeks. The peeling lessens over time. Overall, amazing product and worth every penny!

Pros:

Works very well for me!!!

Cons:

Expensive for the entire line.

I know everyone skin is different and I have read post about obagi making their skin peel, break outs and blackheads. I 'm sure this product does not work for everyone, however many women don't take into consideration of the time the skin was abused and when the skin is going through a transformation the old skins has to shed and that did happen to me when I first began using the product. For two months my skin look uneven, broke out a little and my skin was oiler than usual but the dead skin was shedding.The new skin was being rejuvenated. I am a 43 yr old with a 19 yr daughter and a 6yr son. People do not believe I have a 19 yr old daughter. About a year 1/2 ago I become unemployed and could not purchase my product and my skin slowly began to revent back and I hated it. I am now back on the Rx-C and my skin is starting to glow again. I also would like to share that for those who stick with it and see results, that once your skin is where you want it, you can cut back on using the product daily. I would use my 4% hydro and exfol lotion every other day which helps the product last even longer. I don't buy the entire line the suncreen and washing lotion are pretty much the same save your money on that part.
