Obagi
Hey.
I am on my second trial of Obagi Nu-Derm products… They are working
wonderfully! I began usining the Obagi system back in October and you use it
for about 8-12 weeks in conjunction with retin-a cream ( not retin-a micro)
and the first time you use it your face hurts soo bad it burns and peels and
stings and its just awful… but it really helped my scars and i had
absolutley NO active acne while using the products… then after i ran out of
the products in late jan- my skin stayed pretty nice for a while…but i
didnt quite get the results i was hoping for. so i decided to give it another
go… and now.. just three days after using the products again.. my skin is
GLOWING… so nice and smooth… it a really awesome system…
i am planning on getting my skin lasered in may and my plastic surgeon told
me i would have to use the obagi nu derm products for about 6-8 weeks before
surgery to prep my skin… you know what… i might not even go for the laser
treatment if my skin keeps improving the way it looks now… and now that it
is my second time using the products my skin is having NO reaction at all..
not burning or peeling at all… i will keep you posted on the progress… i
have some moderate acne scarring (and moderatly active acne, blackheads,
whiteheads, large pores, oily skin, sensitive too.. and i am fair- which is
really weird cuz usually fair skin is dry.- eh that’s what i get for being an
italian redhead) that i am trying to get rid of, some uneven skin tone, some
redness around my chin and mouth and some rough patches on my cheeks from
scaring and big pores…. i have very fair skin so these products are ideal
for me as they contain skin lightners (hydoquinoine) and exfoliators (
phytic acid and AHAs).
any way its worth checking it out to see if it will work for you or if it is
something you are willing to try.. i have already tried everything else to no
avail.. you name it- ive done it… proactive… (thumbs down!!)
tetracycline, benzamyacine, amoxocillin, retin-a, differin, retin-a micro (
the micro actually worked very well for me) you know i tried
everythinggggggg… i dont have the patience to list the rest right now…
anyway if you want to see before and after pics of other people that used
OBAGI stuff.. you can just do a search on the web for "obagi nu-derm"
products and see what you pull up… i checked out all the websites to get
the best prices… they all charge about the same give or take a few bucks…
some even have free shipping… but you have to wait for a couple weeks for
the free shipping = not worth it for me- so the best place that i have found
to get these products is at www.centerforskin.com expect to pay about
$280-300$ for a kit… but again— it was so worth it for me. if anyone has
any questions feel free to email and i will tell you about my expereince.
