Week 8 of Obagi Nu derm system: Wrinkles are much worse. Will this get better or have I cause long term damage?

pskadvtbbNov 5, 2016
I am using the Obagi Nu derm system (AM: Cleanser, toner, Clear, Exfoderm, hydrate, sunshield; PM: Cleanser, toner, Clear, Blender, Tretinoin0.05%, Hydrate ). I am in week 8. My hyper-pigmentation has all gone but my wrinkles around my eyes are so much worse. I am only 29 and look much older. I never had these wrinkle before. Will these go away? Have a damaged my skin long term? I am also still peeling, will this stop soon? My doctor has said to continue with the system and this will get better.

I would apply Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides to counteract the dryness from exfoliation. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

I would use the Melarase PM and Melarase AM system to lighten the skin. Topical skin lighteners work well by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Hyperpigmentation has many varieties and causes. If you are having a continuing problem you should consult with a physician. Do you have any photos?I carry Obagi's new like ZO Skin Health because it has newer less harsh ingredients with the same results.I hope this was helpful,Dr....
