If you are trying to lighten freckles, the NuDerm line will be the most effective with Tretinoin. Obagi recommends that you use the strongest Tretinoin that you can tolerate for maximum skin cell turnover. Usually it takes a couple months in order for your skin to normalize after any...
Since you are still peeling, your skin has not completely adjusted to the Retin A. You need to continue with the system as suggested by your doctor. The skin will look more wrinkled until your skin adjusts to the the Retin A and the peeling stops. You have not created any permanent damage.

Obagi has several moisturizers. We recommend Hydrate and Hydrate Luxe if you would like to use a moisturizer with your other skin care products. It is patient preference to whether a moisturizer is needed or not.
