Hello, I am thinking about buying Obaji. Where is the best place to buy? My dr recommended it to me, but should i just buy it over the net cause its way cheaper. I have acne scarring , so what do i need and what steps. I used obaji before a long time ago and it seemed to work
thanks

Since you have a dr, ask your dr to outline the steps for you. You can then order the products online then do the followup with your dr. |

Hi ssran,
I just started using Obagi last week to help with my acne problem (scars and breakouts) and hyperpigmentation (darker areas on my face, freckles), and this is what my doctor recommended me:
AM:
- Wash face with Gentle Cleanser
- Wipe Toner all over the face
- Apply a thin layer of Clear all over the face. Wait for 2 minutes for the cream to absorb
- Apply a second layer of Clear on the dark areas. Wait for 2 minutes for the cream to absorb
- Apply a thin layer of Exoderm all over the face (careful with more sensitive areas like on the sides of the nose and around the mouth). Wait for 2 minutes.
- Apply Sunfader (SPF15). Continue apply Sunfader every hour or more frequently if the skin is prone to hyperpigmentation or if you have more sun exposures.
PM:
- Wash face with Gentle Cleanser
- Wipe Toner all over the face
- Apply a thin layer of Clear all over the face. Wait for 2 minutes for the cream to absorb
- Apply a second layer of Clear on the dark areas. Wait for 2 minutes for the cream to absorb
- Mix Blender with Retin-A (prescribed, not part of the Obagi system) with 1:1 ration (the combined amount is about the size of your thumb nail) and apply it all over the face.
I'm using the "moderately aggressive" approach (as opposed to the "very aggressive" approach, the only difference is that for the PM part, you mix 1 part Blender with 5 part Retin-A).
You probably want to talk to your doctober before Obagi because you'll need professional to help monitor your progress and make changes to the protocol if needed. I'm going for my "check up" in 2 weeks! |

Hello,
Did anyone buy the obaji on line? If so where did you buy it to get the best deal? Does anyone think dermalogica is better than obaji?
