I’ve been using this regimen religiously for 3 months now. (Exactly as directed) Im 44 with a slightly oily T zone. I have melasma and it gets worse during summer even with constant sunscreen application. I have very light surface wrinkles on my forehead, the beginnings of mouth wrinkles and jowling starting to surface.
The good: the facial cleanser cleanses without stripping too much oil from my face. I’ve noticed a slight improvement with the dark melasma on my cheeks. My skin does appear slightly smoother.
The not so good: My skin does not appear brighter. There have been zero improvements to fine lines and wrinkles. The creams are still thick and heavy and leave an oily caked feeling on my face and caused sporadic breakouts. The moisturizer has an unpleasant smell: hard to describe like an expired, old waxy smell.
My Takeaway: while there are noticeable improvements to my melasma, there are no further benefits for my skin. the premium price of this kit is not cost effective to repurchase.
Started the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx Starter about three weeks ago. I had used Obagi before, years ago with good results.
I have received so many compliments about how my skin looks after 2 weeks of use Obagi Nu-Derm Fx Starter System. No more oily t-zone, and even my makeup foundation applies smother and requires less amount.
I was having some hyper-pigmentation, breakouts and skin just not smooth; thought I would give it a go once again.
Great kit
