Thanks Britt. I'm using the products again, and face is peeling just a bit...maybe that along with the treatments with the esthetician will take care of the hyperpigmentation. It's not that bad but it's there and it bugs.
Not only did the blue peel NOT remove the hyperpigmentation, it looks a little bit darker in some areas. I can cover most of it up with makeup but I'm disappointed. I used the Obagi products as directed prior to the peel and I did everything I was supposed to do.
I used to have such nice skin a couple years ago...very even and smooth. I started taking birth control pills and after my vacation during summer of 2010, my skin looked muddy from dark spots. It was disheartening to say the least. It was probably caused by the hormones in the pills, so I stopped taking it and started using hydroquinone. The spots faded but not completely.
I'm very self conscience of it. I want my skin back from 2 years ago. (I'm not 41 by the way - my skin was very nice even at 40 - took one year to ruin it)
I'm seeing an esthetician today to see if she can help.

I did the blue peel to remove hyperpigmentation.
