Well I had my Obagi Radiance Blue Peel and pleased with the results. My skin was glowing immediately after the treatment and several hours later feels tight, firm and springy to the touch.

I have been using the Obagi Nu Derm System for well over 20 weeks and feel having used it prior to the Peel, the benefits and results will be better than having the peel on unprepared skin.

The treatment itself although quick isn't pleasant as the face will get tingly and then feel hot, moreso after a second application, but the Beautician tapped my skin all over with her fingertips after each application which helped the burning sensation to subside more quickly.

The Radiance Peel is superficial so don't expect miraculous results especially on unprepared skin as you will probably be disappointed. I plan to have a second treatment in around 4 weeks time.

I will let you know as I am having a Blue Peel Radiance next week. I have dark skin and have been using the Obagi Nu Derm System for over 20 weeks with dramatic results. I believe Obagi peels are more effective with prior use of one of their systems.
