More Brown Spots After 7wks on Obagi Nu-derm?

Question

It is my 7th week on Obagi Nu-derm system. I found more brown spots showing on my face. The old sun damage is darker. My skin is smooth when I use Obagi. It is rough when I stop it. Is it normal? Should I continue? I used 70spf sunscreen daily.

In patients that are resistant to the Obagi Nuderm treatment, I begin therapy with the Melarase creams to lighten the skin and dark spots.  Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

I recommend the use of Melarase creams, Melarase AM and Melarase PM for those that have resistance to Obagi with continued or persistent hyperpigmentation.
