Is it normal that my face turned red after using Obagi Nu Derm with hydroquinone?

Question

Is it normal that my face only turned red and flaked on the first week of using Obagi Nu Derm with Hydroquinone and Obagi Retinol? I am on my second week and I had no more peeling nor redness too. Is it still working?

Yes, this can be typical, but it's difficult to determine if this is the right skin care for your skin type. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist to get you on a long term plan with lasers, microneedling/prp, peels and skin care recommendations.  Best, Dr. Emer.
