I am into week 3 of the baji Nu Derm. My Dr. suggested using the Nia 24 Skin strengthing complex to help the ugly look of scaly look on face and this is very helpful. As a suggestion to all others you are facing the same situation…may be this can help.

For me I am still seeing scaling and my face has started peeling on the forehead, cheek and under eye area. But looks good so far.

Will write back again, on how things work out for me.

I started the Obagi Nu Derm system 5 days ago! I have little blisters and they itch like CRAZY. I understand this is a long process and I am in for the long haul, but is this normal.

I am 50 years old and had some discoloration on my upper lip that looked like a mustache, as well as sun damage on my cheeks. I am on day 12 and wondering if I can finish! My poor face is beet red, I am peeling especially around my chin and and upper lip- I can literally see the skin die previous to peeling. In my sleep last night I started rubbing my face in my pillow and woke with ribbons of peel all over me. I look like I have leperousy. Prior to flaking, the skin becomes very wrinkled thus aging me about 10-15 years. Finding out that the majority of users of Obagi have these identicle symptoms, I am reassured. I am a medical professional and the studies on Obagi Nu Derm are impressive. I think I am having a normal reaction now, and I truly believe that ultimately this will be an investment in our future skin health. One thing- keep all the solutions aways from the edges of your lips- it gives you a kind of border of white around your beet red face, but it really prevents your lips from chapping. Hey, its not as bad as childbirth!!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using the Obagi NuDerm since Sunday only and the side effects have started already. Yesterday I looked like I had a nice tan but today it’s worse even if I wear less makeup. The problem is everyone thinks I put too much makeup on or that I’ve changed foundation which is too dark for me. I actually say to people what’s going on but since I work in a big company with a lot of customers I can’t let everyone know.:-( Anyway, as long as it won’t be worse I can live with this. The worst area is around my mouth. It feels very sore and dry and started to peel.

It more effective to combine those 2 together.

I’m on my 5th week of using Obagi NuDerm and I’m still peeling and red. It does feel softer though. My skin wasn’t terrible before but just wanted better looking skin as I’m getting older and would love to not where foundation if I don’t want to. I’m thinking about cutting back on the retin a (every other night). What do you think?

Hi all…today is day 16 for me of using the Obagi Nu-derm system. The first few days I had very very tight dry skin. I also had and still have the flaking and peeling going on all over. Some days the flaking is worse than others. But after about a week, I guess my skin got use to it because it is no longer tight feeling. I also did have a couple little tiny whiteheads come out randomly and only 2 actual pimples to speak of on my jaw line. Other than that, I have no sensitivity at all when I touch my skin. I use steps 1,2,3,4 in the morning and use steps 1,2,3 at night, with step 5/plus tretinoin every other night. I don’t really have too much redness at all except for around my mouth and nose. I think I may increase the usage of the blender/trentinoin maybe 2 days on 1 day off and see how it goes from there. I definitely see a difference in the pigment and overall tone of my face, it is more even and smooth. So far I am very happy with the results. Can’t wait to see the end!

This is miserable–red skin that hurts, welts, cystic acne that I haven’t had since high school, and a steep price tag to boot. Not sure I want to put up with the weeks of misery–should have taken a few leave days and had a chemical peel to get all the misery overwith in one fell swoop.

hi Kate, how much of the products are u using 1/2gram or a gram? maybe c your dermatologist and cut down if its gram. vaseline does help i used it on the corners of my mouth.
i am on day 24 now (3 and half weeks) the peeling and tightness has subsided considerably. am still still a little red but not in pain anymore when i apply the creams esp number 4. wake up to a flaky face jus wipe it off with a flannel and can then apply make up well. however, i am duin a 12.5hr shift tonight so am hoping the peeling will hold off so my make up lasts will see what happens.
skin is smoother, some facial marks hav decreased but pigmentation is still there though it has lightened a little, got to be honest was hoping for more
