Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Out of the Obaji products, the things that really work are the tretinoin cream, which is meant to be presciption, but you can get it online from some places, but it’s expensive! I’ve since found I can get my retin-A much more cheaply. Also the lightening cream with hydroquinone works, however, there are other safer ways to get that result, and the use of sulfites in the product only gives rise to further irritation. I’ll still finish my products, but I’ll go onto other less expensive alternatives with safe active ingredients. As far as exfoderm goes, I can’t say I really noticed it being too helpful, a good weekly peel with a glycolic or lactic or alpha hydroxy, and using the clarisonic daily has a better effect for me. I think it’s probably buffered to the point where it’s not highly effective. All my criticisms aside, I learned a great deal from using the obagi products, the tretinoin and hydroquinone cream has changed my skin for the best, and given me better results than anything else. Now I’ve researched so much – often from reviews like this, I’ve found sites like skinactives, where you can buy fantastic active ingredients for far less.
Great product line!

I started using several Obagi items (clear, exoferm, blender and the trinoid (sp?)), and I saw almost immediate results. I have quite a bit of discoloration, which is really improving!
great product – I recommend using it under the care of a doctor

This is a VERY effective chemical exfoliant. I use the Obagi line and have gone through a full cycle of Nu-Derm. Exfoderm Forte was the exfoliant recommended for me. What it does is strip off some of the dead layers of the skin which leaves shiny new skin at the surface. I used this product for about 3 months and it did a great job.
One thing, and this is why you should get your first Obagi products from a doctor because they are very strong: you may look like the Crypt Keeper for a couple of weeks. My first two weeks were okay and then at weeks 3-5 I had so much skin flaking off I looked like I should have been in a horror film. This is normal and I was prepared for that to happen but man, if you didn’t know that was coming you might stop using the product. Once I got through week 5 the skin underneath was just beautiful.
Follow the directions, don’t use too much, and rub it into your skin thoroughly. Don’t pat it on or it will not remove the old layers of skin evenly.
Rancid odor
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
The product arrived promptly and appears to be as promised; however, there is a distinct rancid odor which may imply an expired product??? I directly compared it to another bottle of the same product which was fresh and did not have this fairly prominent rancid oil smell. Would not purchase again. The seller seems reliable and professional, but product is not something I want on my face.
cleanser

This product delivers. Its very effective in combination with its cleanser and other creams to remove facial discoloring.
