Alexes, the whole treatment is called Obagi Nuderm. I use the one for dry-sensitive skin. I also use Retin A and Vitamin C with it. It´s a treatment of 6 or 7 products and you need the prescription from your doctor for the Retin A, but I hear that Obagi sells its own Retin A. I bought the Obagi Nuderm Treatment in this site. There are many posts in these forums about this treatment, please read about them. It is not an easy treatment, you would get peeling, redness, irritation, dryness the first weeks and maybe the 14 weeks and later you need to go on maintenance. I used it for hyperpigmentation, but I said, oh well, I am going to do it for my eyes too, and it is working!!!! It is a very harsh treatment some women do not finish it because they say that you get worse before getting better and when they go through the bad part is really scary to them, I can understand that. I expected the worst, it has not happened. I got a lot of peeling, dryness, around my mouth the first 3 weeks or so, then a bit less, sometimes more than other days... but the red tomato face comes and goes. I expected worse than that, but nope, just that. Let me tell you, it´s been four weeks and OMG, my skin has not been this good in years!!! an my under eye circles are almost gone!! and it´s been only 4 weeks, there are still 8 more weeks or so to go, so I cannot imagine if my skin can get any better 
There are a lot of very nice people here to help you through if you decide to take the leap, but please read about it, it´s not an easy treatment. My skin is not very sensitive, just dry sometimes and I have olive oil complexion, that´s why is not so hard on me. I would think fair skin people suffer the most.
Good luck alexa and I´m here if you have any questions I can answer. |
