 I was so happy with my Caudalie night cream for dark spots for the first week but then stopped seeing any improvement
I know Obagi is the best for this but I´m not ready for this serious treatment yet. Maybe when I´m thirty or more.
Anyone has any ideas? Did you have any success treating acne marks with other products?
Many thanks and all the best for Obagi users
I wish I could be brave like you  |

| you can try to use VC serum, sunscreen+avoiding sunshine as much as you can, take VC pills....it takes time but might help a little |

Maheen: Do you use all the Obagi system? It seems really expensvie and too much for my budget although I´m sure is totally worth it. Still scared of the burning
Bren21: Does it really works? I have to try this lemon biopeel !! Finally some hope
Thanks both |

Lisocas....well when i started,,,out of the 7 products of obagi nuderm system,i got
small size of cleanser
a small size of toner
Regular exfoderm forte,
Regular clear
Regular blender
30 oz tube of tretinoin
Used my own sunblock,,neutrogena(i kee changing sun blocks ).
Its my 8th week and i m still using the same products i purchased excpet that i had to buy another CLEAR cuz the first one has finished.
Toner and cleanser are finished and i m using other cheap brands.(for toner using Witch hazel for 10 dollars from GNC)...
Okay so the first time in jan when i purchased all the above things it cost my a total of (250 dollars),,,and i have estimated that it will cost me a total of(550 dollars till the end of my 24 weeks cycle...
So u r answer is that,,,i m not using all the products of obagi( cuz i have read many people"s review who think that the main prodcuts that makes a difference to ur skin are exfoderm,clear,blender and tretinoin)....I am using only 4 products of Obagi( and those r the most expensive ones
I could nt afford this system 2 years ago when i heard a lot f good stuff about it and my skin was becoming a mess...but now since i have some money,,,this was the first thing i really wanted to try ...and i m glad its really really working....My skin has one tone now excpet for the redness and some acne(that tretinoin causes initially),,,and i m sure it will go away...
But i will say again that there is no doubt itis a quite hard program for someone who is very sensitive and who is not prepared for the first 5 weeks of using it...but i always knew i can tolerate it cuz i could do anything for getting my skin back
good luck sweety.... |

Lisocas,,,Tretinoin is a form of vit a that is used for acne,,,wrinkles etc etc and it causes eeling of ur skin usually,,,when use it...
Obagi also offers tretinoin of their won,,,but u can buy it of any other brand...It doesnt make any difference....it comes in different concentrations... |

Lisocas, I have used the Obagi Nuderm and it did wonders,but you are right in that it is a strong products and not being 30 yet I would go for something else.Hydroquinone is very strong and will get the hyperpigmentation,but there are some others things you could try.(Be Kind Rewind Cream) from Skinactives is good and only cost 25.00,for the scars maybe (Lets Make Collagen)also from the same place.I would also use Vit C&E serun before the cream and always,always use sunscreen.
Bren21 is right alot of us have ordered the Lemon Peel Bio,had'nt use it as yet but it is suppose to work rather fast and no red and peeling so we'll see.HTH |

I agree give us all a little while to report in, but someone who started the thread and had us all ordering had great results ridding all the hyperpigmentation in 2 weeks!
I can't wait for mine to get here!

Leggy61: Thanks I was using the search and it didn't come with any result but now I found it.
DarkMoon: It's a good idea to wait for the other people reports before buying. I now ordered the SkinBiology Acne Scar Reduction Kit to try to reduce the marks from acne and will order the be kind rewind and lets make collagen very soon Will report the results! |
