  • 10 Nov 2011

I tried the Obagi NuDerm line (purchased from a plastic surgeon based on his recommendation) to correct hyper and hypo pigmentation brought about by the c02 laser. In addition to the pigment problems, I also had texture issues (enlarged pores, orange peel texture) induced by the dreaded laser - seriously people, NEVER PUT A LASER TO YOUR FACE!!

Anyways, the products are expensive and extremely intense with regards to the side-effects (lots of peeling, redness and flaking). But I **think** I see an improvement?? I'm including before and after pictures so you can decide. I have no shame.

Great review?

Wish i could use obagi. I have seen a friend of mine use it and her skin has turned out so beautiful. I can't use it because it has hydroquinone in it. I am so jealous of my friends beautiful skin.

I just sent a pm, but looking at the pics closer and with more patience, it does look like the shadowing is lighter on your after pic:)!
