Me and My Obagi Reviews
About Me!
I have been using Obagi since January of 2004 and I've had some really great results with it. I was first introduced to Obagi by my dermatologist since she uses Obagi as well and her complexion is really beautiful. Since she was using I thought why not - I'll give it a try. And I'm certainly glad I did.
I can honestly say that my skin now looks amazing - it really has looked the best it ever has. I will soon be turning 39 and for the first time in my life I don't freak out if someone happens to catch me without my make-up on! hehe

When I first started using Obagi the first couple weeks were absolutely horrible and I wondered if the products actually worked. The initial experience I had was a really big turn-off for me but in the end it was all worth it.

Hi Sophia,
I have just finished 3 months of the Clenziderm system and have had great results. I have had awful acne for years after my first child and tried everything. Like you, now I don’t mind if someone sees me with my make off.
My question now is that I don’t know if I should get the Rx or Nuderm system? I am 36 have fine lines, large pores, pigmentation issues from previous acne. My goal is to look younger and not need any makeup. Any advice in how to combine the products and which products I would use would be great.
Thanks,
Mary
Hi Mary,
Thanks for visiting! Well for something that has less side-effects but doesn’t deliver quite the results of the Nu Derm system then I would go with RX. Nu Derm is the most popular system from Obagi because it really delivers the results, however you’ll have to endure some form of side effects to get the results you’re looking for. It really all depends on your skin, if you’re a young person and don’t have any serious skin problems I would go with RX. Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Sophia
Hi Sophia,
I am in my 6th week of using the Obagi Nu-Derm system (for oily skin). My skin looks a little smoother. However, I have not experienced any redness, itching nor peeling. I followed the directions closely.
What am I doing wrong? Is this normal?
Any comment is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Sophia
I used the whle NuDerm system last fall/winter with fantastic results. I have been on maintenance on and off but Iam very interested in the ZO Line not the cleanser but the rest for maintenance. What are your thoughts. The Exforderm is getting a bit much for me so I thought I would use this as a maintenance. By the way they are re-formulating the Radical Night Repair $300plus so it is no longer available. Thanks Dale
I have been using the Obagi Enhance & conditioning line for about 6 wks now, along with eye cream and retinol. I have not seen any results, or improvement so far. I invested $580 and I’m starting to believe it was a waste. I could have continued using over the counter products for what I’m seeing. Not pleased.
I have been using the entire Obagi system for the last 4 weeks. My face is red, burns, itchy & peeling. How long till the side effects go away. I’m oily around my nose area but not on the sides of my face where it hurts the most. Please advise.
I;ve been using obagi nu derm for 1 wwwk. My skin is peeling and very dry, but I will just have to wait a few more weeks to see real results.
I have just started using Obagi Nu-Derm and i am currently on my 5th day of treatment. I am peeling like CRAZY and i actually already see a few differences in my skin. I am peeling everywhere except my forehead is just beginning today. I made a really dumb mistake and used facial hair remover for my upper lip and it burned up and scarred around my lips. That area was red and scarred yesterday. However i still went through the treatment, and it burned A LOT, i wanted to give up but today during shower, it all came off and was peeling and the scars are gone. It’s just red now. I don’t want to give up right now, like i almost was about to. My dermatologist recommended i do it for 6 weeks and i hope everything works out in those 6 weeks so i can be ready for school. The treatment is really a commitment that you have to make and keep. If you can do that, im pretty sure anyone who needs it can get the results they expect.
I have been using Obagi Nu-Derm treatment, the whole kit including tretanoin, for over six months and I am thoroughly disappointed. I was willing to put in the time and effort, but I have seen no noticeable results. I am 67 and look perhaps 10 years younger. No friends have said I look more youthful because of the products . I don’t see my skin as more youthful. It goes through its usual cycle: sometimes I look good, other times I look older. I upgraded tretanoin from .05 to .1, but my skin has never peeled to expose new layers of skin, and I realize now that it never will. Also my few age spots have barely lightened. Now I seem to be getting shadowy marks around my mouth that weren’t there before
My major disappointment at this time is that Obagi has no satisfaction guaranteed clause. Obagi puts it back on the practitioners who have spent their money to have the product available, and therefore I am have lost about $400, in addition to the time and effort.
