Which is a better product - sesderma or obagi?

afdm04Jun 7, 2016
I have been using obagi for the past several years and decided to try precision md vivatia due to some dark spots on my cheecks. Since obagi has now taken over vivatia, I was recommended sesderma. I have only been using sesderma for only 2 weeks but not really seeing any progress. Do you think I should continue or go back to obagi?

Not typical for pigmentation to increase. I would stop the creams and begin therapy with Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads with Replenish. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Once the skin heals, make sure to wash your face twice daily to avoid bacterial contamination. Hydration of the skin is key with Elevase Moisture Booster or another ceramide cream. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
