it doesn't really seem to have done anything, so Id suggest doing a procedure more long term results like laser or chemical peels.

I'd say unless you get a bargain price like I did or have a load of spots/freckles its maybe not be so worth it. I had read it can make your face 'sag" a bit, I think I look saggier now around my jaw....so I'd say don't do it!

My skin looks smoother and my nose is less red and swelling less! pore size has decreased too and some millia (small white bumps) I had have come to the surface. I think my skin is dryer a bit but that could be the retin-a Im using too. I think it will improve further so Ill wait to see results. It was worth it to me.

I'm 60 so if you look at my skin above in pics, its pretty good! Im not a sun worshipper or tanner and I swear by retin -a daily! if you peel heres what you do. cover your face in a good cold cream or mask. let it soak in, then use a buff puff to get the dead skin off. I also heard Dr Brandt on radio say Cerave' cream is the best value! So I went and bought it! I was using french cream at $60 a jar and the LARGE jar of cereve is 16-!

Hi, buY him a handheld blue light LED device! it kills bacteria and thats where the problem starts. cystic acne may be anatomical in nature and the pores do not allow proper elimination so the body encapsulates pus from dead cells as a cyst. see a qualified dermatologist, theres a name for the condition. its not invasive and you can get good buys online at big store sites! Good luck.

accutane causes depression and suicides please be diligent its a bad drug!

Thanks ladies! ( I didn't start using Obagi until 2 weeks after the treatments. I swear by that retin-A .5% cream and the wrinkles go away fast with use. for $60 its the best beauty tool! ) My skin is peeling quite a bit! I have to exfoliate frequently by putting a thick coat of ponds on, letting it soften the skin, then use a buff-puff or face brush. It looks very smooth and my nose redness has gone down immensely! I am only concerned that results are temporary so Im looking into doing RF or vein-gogh laser for more permanent results. So far I'm satisfied at at $249- it was a bargain!

i have to wonder about the exfoliation of retin-A skin -- I know some people have mentioned doing it for the "peelies." A question if a doc is reading this: they say to NOT rush and exfoliate the peeling skin after a peel, to let it come off naturally no matter how tempted one is. Would this also apply to retin-A? I don't peel off skin anymore because I figured it's NOT good to rush the healing but maybe it's ok?>
