Are you wondering and thinking if Obagi products are for you? This article will attempt to answer that question by clarifying the ideal candidate, so to speak, to use and see success with Obagi Nu-Derm products.
As we're growing older, we're seeing wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots starting to appear.
We're all human, after all and as time passes we do age.
(Sorry about that...
) But I don't like to look old, do you? Anyways, so you've heard great things about Obagi products, and how your skin looks after completing the regimen.
Well, let me tell you something, "The Obagi Nu-Derm line of products works.
Period.
" But there is a price that you pay for it.
Namely, the process involves what is commonly referred to as, 'the Uglies phase'.
Let me explain myself.
While using Obagi Nu-Derm products and doing the whole shebang, including applying tretinoin, (which is a retinol) your skin will peel and flake.
That's the process...
that your old, dead, damaged skin falls off to reveal the younger looking, smoother, new skin.
Your skin may also become red and irritated, especially (and chiefly) in the beginning.
The first few weeks will be the worst...
Wondering if using the Obagi Nu-Derm line of skin care products will be effective? It probably will.
Wondering if it pays? Well, that depends on your skin issues.
If you have severe hyper-pigmentation issues, lots of sun & age spots, and wrinkles, etc.
the temporary discomfort will more than pay for itself.
But if your skin issues are more moderate, y'know, some wrinkles, you want your skin to be smoother...
then you can try something less strong, with fewer side effects.
You can try something like M.
D.
Forte or Kinerase, etc.
So, here's the answer to "Is Obagi for me?" If you have severe skin issues and you're ready to do anything to get smoother skin and look years younger - go ahead and do the Obagi Nu-Derm regimen.
But if your needs are more moderate, then try something less harsh first.
