My skin doesn't exfoliate itself properly. It isn't sore or red, just dry and flaky. When I put my moisturizer on my skin flakes off in certain areas. My body is the same and I have to body brush to get rid of the dead skin. I have microdermabrasion once every 6weeks. It improves after, but only for about a week. Would a skin peel help or would another treatment be more beneficial? I don't get spots, don't have any pigmentation. Just want my skin to feel less grainy and not be constantly flaky. Thank you.
I'm going to be starting Obagi Nu-Derm, and have read conflicting reports on whether to use moisturizer or not with it. I normally moisturize 2 x day. Some things I've read say not to moisturize, others say definitely moisturize and that it won't delay peeling. If moisturizer prolongs the whole process due to lack of peeling, I don't want to do that. It's just going to be tough to look scary/scaly for the next weeks.
Hi, I have been using the Obagi Nu Derm with hydroquinone for 2 weeks with Obagi Retinol 1.0% and my face is no longer peeling. Just a little red. I am thinking of switching to Obagi Tret instead. Is this no peeling, a sign that the kit doesn't work anymore on my skin? Is it safe to use Obagi nuderm with hydroquinone full system to 6 - 12 months? Or maybe lifetime? If not, how long should I use it? How should I incorporate Obagi Vit C and Sunfader.
I started Obagi Nuderm one week ago. I at first was just red and peeling around my mouth area. Now I am still peeling around my mouth area not much anywhere else but am very very red. Should I back off of the blender with tretinoin? I use it at night every other night. thanks!
Been on obagi nu derm for 4 months. Out of those months I have consistently experienced extreme peeling only on my nose.It peels,bleeds,then scabs over.when I wash my face or touch my nose, scabs come off revealing raw areas,now there are brown patches on nose? I am no longer using product on nose,but it looks too bad to be seen in public.My PS briefly looked t it mont ago,said oh, just leave it alone,it will heal! It has not, I don't know what to do? Will this scar if it ever heals??
I've been on the system for 12 days, using the products twice a day, as directed by my doctor. So far, no peeling or flaking. My skin type is normal to dry, and I live in an arid climate. Is lack of peeling normal? Using Tretinoin .025% every other night, alternating with Exoderm. Thanks!
