16 weeks as if today. My brown pigmentation spots are gone. There is some lightening of reddish acne scarring, though not completely gone. My skin is softer and smoother than it’s been since before puberty It appears that my oiliness and dryness have balanced out. Softening of fine lines. The only thing that hasn’t changed are my large pores on my cheeks on either side of my nose and on my chin. So not perfect for me, but pretty darn close. Now I’m just nervous to ‘not’ use Obagi NuDerm.

Ok so i have been on the Obagi for 5 days now..I’m an indian born in Fiji with a fairly dark skin.I’m using Obagi to ged rid of acne marks and even out my pores..I have visibly large ones plus i also have sunlines on my forehead due to years of playing cricket out in the sun.Apart from the peeling which i don’t really mind cos i believe it’s normal my eyelids hurt at the moment.I think i let some cream touch the eyelids so to anyone new to the Obagi be very careful when applying near the eyelids.At the moment face stings cos of the peeling.Face feels so tight but i can’t wait for the end result.

I would like to try try Obagi Nu-Derm but I’m a little hesitant about ordering it online due to some companies selling fakes. Can anyone recommend an internet site that they know to be true?

‘m glad to know I’m not alone here… Throughout my life (even my teenage years) I have always had a good complexion. I mean, here and there I’d get a little breakout, but nothing to write home about. For the most part, my adolescence was smooth sailing as far as my skin went…

I have talked about this with a few other women around my age (35-55) and we all came up with the idea that it may be a biological/hormonal change that occurs for women at this particular age. There also may be a stress factor as we have a lot more to worry about and be responsible for than we did back then.

For my 40th birthday, my mom bought me a bottle of Made from Earth’s Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum, and after a few weeks, people were commenting that I looked less tired. They even asked if I lost weight, been exercising or on vacation!

Since it works gradually over a few weeks, you notice a bit of difference yourself, but the people who don’t see you that often really notice a dramatic change. Smaller wrinkles are smoothed out and disappear completely, while large ones get smaller.

I have been using Obagi for about 3 weeks now. Yes, I had the peeling and the redness but no pain. I did notice however a huge increase in blackheads that seem to just come out of my pores with the peeling skin. But, now there is hardly any. My sun damage has significantly faded and most of my freckles and old acne scars have disappeared. My pores have tightened up and my skin does glow. I have always used foundation but for the first time in a while I finally feel comfortable to go out in public with just sunscreen. Hooray!!! I am still in the early stages and am very happy with the results so far.

Next Friday will be 4 weeks on Obagi Nu Derm. I have to say that the past 3-4 days have been the ugly-est. I have been avoiding putting any product around my mouth area (corners-to chin area) as it is red and peely. It almost looks like burns. Thinking about skipping tonight and puttng Emu Oil on whole face. The sides of my nose peeled pretty bad too but is much better now and not as red. I am very happy that pigmentation spots on both chheks look 30% faded, And overall skin does have some clear glowey rosey areas. If only that could be my whole face. I have only broken out with 2 pimples so far, the secoind one may be worse. I do too get discouraged. But I didnt spend all that money to quit now. Hopefully better results are just aroung the corner.

Well, I have nearly completed week 5 on the Nu Derm programme. The last 5 weeks have been a really hard road. Sometimes the redness, itching, peeling , dryness and pain have been almost unbearable. Especially at work. My skin got so dry and tight that my face cracked when I smiled or tried to eat! Yesterday, my face did a monumental peel…I was literally pulling sheets of dead skin off my face. I looked like something from a Zombie film!! BUT…it has been worth every bit of it. The melasma that I have had on my upper lip for the past 2 years has faded significantly. I have a much clearer more even toned complexion. My skin feels younger and firmer ( I am in my 40′s). The skin around my eyes also looked dry and wrinkled during this time….I looked like a shrivelled up 80 year old, but that peeled yesterday too and looks much better now! Stick with the programme it is worth it. Remember to put some vaseline at the corners of your mouth and on the lines from nose to mouth after you use the cleanser and toner. This stops the products from migrating and causing soreness there. You can also purchase Obagi Action to moisturise the skin during periods of excessive dryness to help you get through. Remember, the whole idea is to shed those dead skin cells to all the redness, soreness and peeling is doing just that. It abates at around 6 weeks.

8 weeks on Obagi NuDerm today. All my large and medium age spots are gone. There us a faint sprinkling of very small spots left above my left eyebrow. Still some discoloration that is reddish in color. Pretty sure these are old acne scars. Often just wear a tinted moisturizer now instead of foundation. I still take a one day break from step 4 and 5. I still avoid both products on my chin and around the mouth. Those two steps are still too agitating to the skin in these areas. Still overall pleased with the system. Wish the peeling wasn’t still happening. Anyone starting the system? I’d just say that the first two weeks are the worst and then things calm down so just stick with it and take a day off every now and then to reduce the agitation.

I am on my second week using Obagi Nu Derm. I haven’t had much peeling, just around nose and mouth. My skin is breaking out and my face feels itchy. I am using this product to help melasma. I’m concerned that I have not peeled as much as others mentioned. Hope product works and fades the melasma.

My doc says use cortisone cream on the really sore parts of your face and take a few days off now and then if it gets too uncomfortable. There are also creams that help with irritation that you can purchase through the product line. She also mentioned using pure aloe to soothe. Try those things. Good luck
