I wanted to love Obagi. I started with the Nu-Derm system to address some fine lines and uneven tone. The results were there—I definitely saw an improvement in my skin’s texture and a little more radiance. However, the constant peeling and irritation were just too much for me. I felt like I couldn’t wear makeup and my skin was always uncomfortably tight. The routine is also pretty intense with multiple steps twice a day. It’s a huge time commitment, and honestly, the side effects were too disruptive for my social and work life.

Definitely not for skincare newbies or sensitive types, but if your skin can handle it, the payoff is real.

The clarifying serum did wonders to my skin. Evened my skin tone, lightened my blemishes and a totally youthful glow.

love the effects of the clarifying serum on my skin .faded my blemishes for real.

I wanted to like this, but it just didn’t deliver. Felt underwhelming and I wouldn’t recommend it.
