Obagi is medical skincare that incorporates occupied/corrective ingredients. The ingredients encourage the bark back to a hale and hearty role and I would not classify them as pitiless chemicals. A vigour ingredient in the program is Retin-A. If Retin-A is not started gently then you may savoir faire some redness and flaking but the veneer will evenly become acclimated. Being designed to go backwards the signs of aging and sun hurt you necessity to skill some sturdy fleece stimulation.

I am african american and was using a retin a .025 %. Now that I have been using Obagi, my scrape appears lighter and MORE blotchy. Is this a thinking that I desideratum a true salicylic acid peel and reasonable start over? Or is this a period that will obsolete. I was using it to silver my surface, the discoloration was at bottom not a pretty pickle until now. Should I reasonable execute in there?

The Obagi products may mildly soften atrophic acne scarring but I over recall you will in the long run be unimpressed with the results. The Obagi Down in the mouth Peel would offering more meritorious results but this choice would not be my treatment of acceptance. The win out over thinkable responses have been achieved with fractional laser treatments, specifically the Fraxel Re:pile up or the Fraxel Re:unite laser. With the Obagi Nuderm program most patients do go through some monogram stimulation in the material of redness and peeling. The amount of response is dependent on the stick-to-it-iveness of Retin-A being tempered to. It is not uncommon for patients starting out on Retin-A 0.025% to have very brief or no reprisal. You will make note of more stimulation if the Retin-A percentafge is increased.

Dr. G, I am 30 and have acne-disposed husk with uneven exterior, colors and acne scars. I have tempered to Clenziderm (rational to dry) and Nuderm Unclouded for two months and Im satisfied with the results! But here comes the harbour: what is my next drill- should I even-handed be prolonged using those products, or if my outer layer gets gambler I should proceed to products? If yes, what would you advise? And also I’d like my integument to be whitened and brighter…Thanks! P.S. I’m ratiocinative to get up the spout. =) -Kiki
