What is the best way to use Obagi Nu-Derm with Hydroquinone kit?

September 18, 2018
Asked By:MRS04 in Oregon, OR

Hi, I have been using the Obagi Nu Derm with hydroquinone for 2 weeks with Obagi Retinol 1.0% and my face is no longer peeling. Just a little red. I am thinking of switching to Obagi Tret instead. Is this no peeling, a sign that the kit doesn't work anymore on my skin? Is it safe to use Obagi nuderm with hydroquinone full system to 6 - 12 months? Or maybe lifetime? If not, how long should I use it? How should I incorporate Obagi Vit C and Sunfader.

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

Is it okay to use other brand's sunscreen when I am using the full system of Obagi Nu Derm with hydroquinone?
Thomas Buonassisi, MD says:

Yes you can use another brand, but be sure to choose a medical grade sunscreen that provides full spectrum protection. Your skin will be especially sensitive when using Nu Derm so a high quality sunscreen is essential.

I started Obagi Nu-Derm one week ago. How red should I be? (photo)
Craig Koniver, MD says:
