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

August 10, 2012
Asked By:minaly

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.
