when I bought obagi I was told that it works like a recipe for a cake if you are preparing to make a pound cake and leave out the eggs or butter your pound cake will not be the same as mine I used the complete set now for 4 years including tretinon .05 like the doctor's office show me and it worked I saw the difference in 3 months. I quick using it and my skin is not the same so now I stick with it because people has seen the difference of my skin and it shows on the pictures that I seen of myself . I hope this help you , is a little expensive at the beginning but at the end will save you money because you will not need anything else not even make up to cover it imperfections All I use now is blusher and lipstick and I can get ready in 5 min

Yes, it will work gradually (slowly) with this OTC, gentle, Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx (step 5) - Non-Hydroquinone, Arbutin Formulated. It may take as long as 3 months to see result with daily application.

I'm not sure. This product was recommended by a professional (dermatologist). The ingredients are supposed to be completely safe. Maybe you can visit the obagi site for information on the ingredients. I was also told to use these products under close supervision of either a beautician or dermatologist. Good luck, and I hope this answer was helpful.

Can u use SPF under it and can I also use Nadinia bleach cream for age spots with it

actually, i stopped using it. i realized it works at first but then some pimples would disappear and new ones would form. as for the dark spots, your best bet is to let time fade them away. using any acne supplement will only provoke ur acne even more.

I am 53 and have been using it for one year. This is probably the least expensive Glycolic acid cream you can find. I am not sure if Glycolic is the right product for hyperpigmentation. To me, glycolic is for radiance. I used the Obagi for hyperpigmentation for 2 years and it works. You may want to try it.

This is the best exfoliating product I have used, but it targets dead skin cells, so, I do not think this is the answer for dark spots. However, if you want to lessen large pores, remove fine lines, and have clearer, soften skin, this product is excellent.

Hi Elizabeth, Unfortunately, it does not work with fading brown spots. It really is just awesome for dry skin and getting rid of the red spots and ingrowns. I'm Asian and have hyper-pigmentation. My dermatologist prescribed Obagi's #3 Clear. It contains 4% hydroquinone. There is a lot of controversy over hydroquinone, but it works. The Obagi #3 Clear is prescription only, but there's another brand that is 2% hydroquinone you can buy over the counter. It is significantly cheaper than Obagi. You get what you pay for though. Another great product that is prescription only is a retinol called tretinoin. It is your do it all cream/gel. It prevents wrinkles, it helps with fading dark spots, it helps with acne and etc. Whenever you see products that says "retinol," it is a relative of tretinoin. My dermatologist explained all of this to me because I was asking about a good serum to buy. I told her I wanted one with a retinol in it and helps fade dark spots. I was just wasting money on these $100/1oz bottles of serum, when I already had the best stuff. I had the best retinol and the best fading cream. There is a site that sells the Obagi #3 for $65 without a prescription, but I think you should consult with your dermatologist before using it.

HI. The product description from the Obagi site indicates that this moisturizer is for all skin types. When, I put it on, It doesn't feel oily and doesn't leave a shine. It feels nice. Here is the link: http://obagi.com/patients/product-line/hydrate/overview (You might have to copy and paste). I have been using their product line for years. My skin was dry. Then, I used their product line of exfoliates and tretinoin (generic is Retina-A) , etc. I use this hydrate when I am not on the system. And, I really like it. It's soothing and it helps me moisturize in this dry heat we have here in Las Vegas. I have tried everything form OTC to expensive Christian Dior and this product has been great for me. HI.

Personally, I have better results with the complete system. The Obagi system has also helped me with my rosacea. I barely use any medication now. It is the best system I have found and it works well for me.

Most likely not. This product makes skin smoother. It may soften the edges of the dark spots but it will not lighten the color of your skin. Lancôme Miracle Blur works really well for dark spots. You can get a sample at any Lancôme counter.

I've been using the product for several months and my dark spots and melasma have not faded. I truly cannot see any difference.

Hi, it does not bleach the skin, but when you start using the obagi action regulary, the dark spots will disappear.

Sorry, I haven't used it in for those issues. I only know it to be soft and soothing to the skin and allow an slight extra boost to healing areas like scratches & dry skin. It is not specifically made to lighten dark spots. It is just a vitamin based moisturizing cream.

If is a face situation,I recomend "THE ONE CANCEALER"made by Napoleon Perdis.... I got it at ULTA cosmetics store. I'm a dancer in Las Vegas and I'm not young anymore, and I have dark spots under my eyes worst than acne spots and this product really cover every spot!

Hi--I have small (dark)pigments as well. I am Asian, and this help lighten it, but not completely gone. I would recommend it, but be careful! I found that because I applied to the spots, it lighten my skin and leave the rest of my skin kind of splotchy. Hope this help

I have been using several of the Obagi products for my daily face regimen for almost a year now and have had great results. The Obagi Nu Derm is designed to be used in conjunction with Retin A which is prescription. All the other products you can get through Amazon. I use the foaming gel, toner, Clear and Exoderm. Basically #1 thru 5

It is a serum so goes on after cleansing and toning, then moisturizer. I often add oil to dry spots as I live in dry climate. Don't always use makeup, often just concealer, lipstick and mascara. Regardless, Obaji has been great for my skin.
