WORTH IT$780
I started to use Retin a was two
Weeks ago. My face was horrible, it full of acne, uneven, scar and aging spots. I went to longevity to treat by treating my aging spot, I did one laser treatment and then the nurse practitioner told me to use Retin a + Obagi. I start to use every other night. She told me will some side effects come out such as redness, peeling and pumps. Yes I did notice that I had these symptoms at the beginning. But I started to use every night since my symptoms getting better. Retin a is amazing, I start see my dark pots disappear and my acne scar disappear too. I even can tell big difference from two weeks ago. Anyway, I will keep use the Retin a and obagi every night.

Hi Jinglong... do you experiencing any pores enlargement during Retin A used?
I've been using Retin A about 2 weeks ago too, i'm not have any irritation or feel heat or swelling, not even redness. But i see my pores become larger than before.

You need to use it for 1 year at least so you can see a real improvement on pore size.

Aah ok, thank you Jing long, maybe i should change to 0.05% too

Dear Amelia, please be carefull with Retin A 0.05%, when I started using it some years ago, I suffered many side effects. I would think it twice.

Can you please tell us the exact name of Obagi that you're using? Thanks

Obagi seems to be a kind of chinese cosmetic stuff that won't work for anything. Retin A works for its own and doesn't need anything else.

Dr. Zein Obagi received his medical degree at Damascus University and I'm pretty sure he is still a practicing Dermatologist. (Obagi is not "chinese cosmetic stuff") Obagi is an excellent product and does in fact work to lighten dark spots and smooth out the look of skin. Also, I've never heard/read that Retin-A "makes your skin weak". In fact, I've read that it helps remove the top layer which makes the skin look smoother. I know several older ladies who have been using Retin-A for well over 20+ years and they have lovely skin compared to others their age.

Obagi also awesome, my skin was irritated by Retin a , so I add Obagi + Retin a together, now my skin get to used to it. Retin a seems work for my face and Obagi also helped release the irritation and stinging. Anyway I love both .

u look great where did u get obagi from?
October 13, 2017
I got Obagi and Retin a from my nurse practitioner . Some website have too many counterfeit Obagi just be careful. I don’t trust amazon or EBay either, you just need to make sure get real ones.
November 12, 2017
is the Obagi a moisturizer type one? what i know about Obagi is it's also famous as an exfoliator product. so if you add Obagi in the regime, shouldn't it get more peeling and redness then?
November 12, 2017
Yes but I have to because I have so many aging spots after using Retin a and Obagi my face much better
November 13, 2017
i see, so it's for the whitening effect. i do feel after retin-a my skin's getting slight darker whilst I stayed inside pretty much

Because you need a prescription to get them from the pharmacist. Unless you buy snake oil from the guy above.

Retin A still working
jinglongmilesOctober 9, 2017
Today I post another picture, I really like Retin A, which I think is a little bit irritated. Today I saw my face some peeling, and my acne scar is peeling which are good news, I know the Retin a is working. I also think the sunscreen should use at lease SPF 70, my doctor told me under the number is not working . Anyways I think Retin a save my money so I only have to go to plastic surgery to fix my skin problems. It also saved my time, I will keep use it.
Do you expereriencing any enlarged pores because of Retin A?
