Anyone uses obagi products on their neck? I am noticing the difference in complexion and tone of my skin on face (where i use obagi products) and neck is becoming visible - my face is much clear and bright compared to my neck now..

I do. According to Dr. Obagi's book (which is 10 years old and he may have a different opinion now, and the my nurse I used to see, you can use the Nu Derm on nonfacial areas. You use only the Clear, Blender/RA (No exfoderm), and would use it only 2-3 times a week at night. It does help. My neck was darker than my face, but after using the products on my neck for about 1 month, it is almost as light as my face now. |

I've been using Clear and Blender on my neck - on alternate days. (Or when I remember...)
I did make the mistake, at first, of using Exfoderm on my neck. Bad idea! It made my neck extremely red, irritated and raw... Won't do that again!  |

I use Blender and ret-a on my neck, occasionally also on my chest and about once a year on my hands! 
Bee, that's so great that you can see a difference, though... your face must be looking grrrreat!  |

| Thanks ladies for the replies. So 2-3 days per week and only clear and blender/retin-a. Did you go through the peeling phase for neck as well? |

| I am not sure about the others, but my neck gets very dry for a while. So, yes, for me I go through a peeling phase (and its not pretty!). |

Yes..i thought so and that is something what scares me..my office people just got over the ugliness of my face and if now they see my peeling neck, god knows what they will think :-d

Rileygirl and others,
if I just want to improve the complexion and skin tone of the neck so that it matches the skin tone of the face, can I use just the clear without the blender/retin -a?

| Yes, that is fine to do, bee_g! Just remember to put your sunscreen on your neck! |

| Yes, rcascone. You can use all but the Exfoderm on both your neck and chest (same goes for arms if you wanted to). For the neck/chest area, use only 2-3 days a week. |

| Which product line of Obagi do you use? I noticed it has Nu-Derm, Obagi Professional-C Serum. I want to try this product. |
