Thanks, Marina, I must have missed that tip. I appreciate your help and will try massaging them in to see if helps with foundation application.

I find that the products are a bit too heavy for my skin. Perhaps just too much of the silicon type ingredients. Using the suggested amounts, I just could not get them to absorb. Plus, even using their gel cleanser, I started to develop lots of blackheads.

Lou, I am still using the Occlipse sunscreen. I have used this product since August. I also still use the exfoliating polish, as well. The sunscreen is still the best I have used and works very well for me. I only used the products for about 6 weeks or so, during which time they gave my skin a nice and healthy "glow" and I was getting some compliments on my skin (which does not happen to me!), but I chose to restart Nu Derm as I needed to deal with my hyperpigmentation again! I am just now starting to add the ZO products back in 1 at a time, so I can tell if they are doing anything for my skin or not.

Is anyone still using the whole line of products?

Thanks Riley, You probably don't remember me but I attempted to do a gentle form of Obagi a few years ago at the same time as you were doing it. . Are you going at it full force? I have slight pigmentation issues but I seem to keep it under control with my retin-a and 4%hydroquinon combination in pm and sunscreen in am. I am envious of all who do obagi. I just don't know if I could handle the massive peeling. I would also have to prepare my dh for it..he..he..
Good luck to you, Lou

I suggest facial exercise for slight slackness.

I was wondering if you all are still enjoying these products or have some of you fallen off the wagon? If this the products you've been looking and waiting for? I still need to order the jump start kit. I just can't decide what direction to go it.
Thanks so much, Lou

I am still using the ZO sunscreen, exfoliating polish, hydrating cleanser and day cream and I really like all of them. The day cream is perfect, it absorbs well, without too much massage and gives just enough hydration but my skin isn't shiny or oily looking. I'm a big fan of the sunscreen too.

Hi everyone,

I noticed there was some talk about people having still not received their replacement Radical Night Repair.

If this is the case, please PM me with your name and order information so we can follow up corporately to ensure this is rectified quickly.

Where can you buy Obagi Nu Derm products at less expensive price? I have combination skin with age spots and over 45. I have seen a dermatologist last week and purchased a Obagi Nu Derm toner and clear. I also purchased a good moisturizer (not Obagis). Are Obagi Nu Derm products bought online are safe and effective? Thanks.

Sat Feb 07, 2009 9:02 am

I am sorry, I need to buy the whole starter set. Does EDS offer it online,too?

free skin care · Sat Feb 07, 2009 10:53 am

i buy my nuderm from the dermatologist
I have not tried to purchase online but
there does not seem to be a significant difference in price.
the clear which is the most expensive of the nuderm line, is the one that i run out of quickest (using am and pm)
i'll be watching the post for suggestions on where to purchase...

free skin care · Sat Feb 07, 2009 11:01 am

Just a reminder that this thread is not related to Obagi Nu Derm....they are distributed by completely different companies, so let's please try to keep this thread on topic and focused on ZO.

Khtr, welcome to EDS.

You can buy Nu Derm right here on EDS, and there are no issues with buying online. Please post any additional questions related to Nu Derm on one of the many Nu Derm threads...just use the search button located at the top of the every page, search for Nu Derm, and post on one dedicated to that topic.

Thanks!

still using the ZO with my NuDerm and loving it need to change my tag line will be the BIG 50 on Feb 28 so was just wondering how everyone was doing. Does anyone have a color problem with the Oclipse SS it seems like it throws off my foundation color so keep me posted

Dale

free skin care · Tue Feb 10, 2009 4:52 am

Yes, yes. We discussed the colour of Oclipse a few pages back. Some of us find it doesn't suit our skin tone. There was a vote about it. But many people thought it was a perfect tint, so the chances of ZO changing the tint any time soon are remote. I'm not going to repurchase because it does throw off the colour of my foundation too.

thanks agin I did not get my email on this thread I do am not using it sticking with the Obagi NuDerm SS

It doesn't change mine so much that it's noticeable. It may deepen it a bit but that's a good thing for me. My foundation looks less chalky.

That said, I'm able to use my LM MMU again. I had put it aside because it always seemed to grab and streak. Because the ZO is a matte finish & primer, it goes on like a dream, no streaking or grabbing.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know about an event in San Francisco that is coming up. Dr. Obagi will be giving a seminar called “Face the Facts”, and in his typical, tell-it-like-it-is style, he will debunk the myths about skin care. He gave the same seminar in Beverly Hills last week, and some 450 people were signed up. This time, I think the capacity for the room is only 200.

11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Saturday, March 7, 2009
Nordstrom
865 Market Street
San Francisco, CA

You’ll have a chance to meet Dr. Obagi and get a personal consultation with someone on his staff from the Obagi Skin Health Institute.

Cost to attend is $25. The attendance fee is redeemable toward any ZO product purchase at the event. All guests will receive a 15ml Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30 and we’re planning a special gift with purchase.

To register for the event, please RSVP to Nordstrom at 415.243.8500 ext. 1423.

If you have any questions, or would like additional information, please let me know.

Hi, Missanna:

In January Mecca Cosmetica will be introducing ZO throughout Australia and New Zealand, but the products will be priced at a premium to help cover the shipping costs and import duties.

Because we want our retailers to be successful with the brand, and because shipping direct at US prices would undermine their sales and marketing efforts, we discourage the sale of ZO both through our own website as well as through other e-commerce sites.

Thanks for your interest; look for ZO at Mecca Cosmetica in January!

Donna Queen

Almost time to replace my current eye cream and doing some research would like to try the ZO eye cream. Can't get this thru EDS due to my location AUS.

Apparently it's available thru Mecca Cosmetica ...Just checked their website and it's not listed. But even if it were...I wouldn't buy it from there. The markup on products at Mecca is OUTRAGEOUS !!!! I know many girls in aus (via beauty forums and personally) won't purchase from MECCA for that reason alone. eg. Shu eumera eyelash curler approx $20-$25USD we were paying around $65AUD. Stila IPF, Just the actual refil was over $50AUD. So on principal (and the ripped off feeling I get) I won't purchase from them. It's a shame....cause you're missing out on a huge market of potential buyers.

I would have purchased from EDS, but seems I can't.

Oh well, the search continues for something else.

Oh, and Happy Valentines Day to you all Smile

Hi dubi.

Yes Mecca is extremely expensive. I have bought some products from them simply because I can't get them elsewhere.

What I don't like is the fact that they charge so much but never offer special discounts (even for Christmas), don't have any sort of loyalty club and they charge more for postage than EDS does from Canada.

But this is not the topic (sorry for my rant). I have asked about ZO several times when I was in the store and none of the salespeople know anything about it. Apparently they are only told about a week before new products are added. I also check their website daily but it's still not there so I don't know when they are planning to launch it.

You have my sympathy, dubi. We have exactly the same infuriating ban on buying ZO from EDS from the UK. ZO want to force us only to buy from Harrods at ridiculously inflated prices, too. Sounds a bit like your Mecca store.

I would have loved to have tried this brand, but it's not to be, alas.

I'm going to be trying other products in order to form a new regime (my former skincare HG product is now discontinued). Don't know whether you have the same skincare issues as me, but please to post if you find something that works well. I'll do the same. Hopefully, we'll come up with some great alternatives.

At the moment, I'm trying Karin Herzog and have been wowed by the Essential Mask. I'll be trying and reporting on other products in the line when I've had the chance to try them. You might want to check out that thread (Review section) as there are some very helpful posts and posters on the subject.

Whew I finally read this thread from start to finish! I'd like to thank everybody here for contributing so much information! But I still have a couple questions:

For those of you that use Retin A and Ossential Night Repair (I think Bethany was doing this intermittantly several months ago), do you layer the Night Repair on top of Retin A, or do you use Retin A in place of Ossential Night repair for that night only? I know retinol and retinoic acid are different things, but at a 1% concentration retinol vs. Retin A or Tazorac, which is more potent and would deliver more anti-aging/preventative benefits?

And for those of you who are loving the Growth Factor Serum, have you always been able to tolerate silicone bases well? Does this serum actually 'sink in', or does it feel like a greasy film that sits on top of the skin? I am concerned because silicones generally give me blackheads and pimples...

Anyways, these are the 2 products I'm most interested in, and it is definitely a line I intend to try out in the VERY near future. TIA!!

The Retin A or Tazorac are definitely more potent. Though they will all deliver anti-aging benefits (the retinol being the slowest to deliver, as it is weaker than either Tazorac or Retin A), if you can tolerate it, Retin A is still the best thing out there for anti-aging.

free skin care · Tue Feb 17, 2009 12:29 pm

I really do love the Growth Factor Serum. First, let me say that I do not break out with this serum and silicone can easily break me out and has in the past.

What I like most about this serum is that it feels very soothing to the skin and glides on like silk. It's also quite moisturizing on its own although I do put a moisturizer over it. This is not a heavy, thick or sticky serum. I also feel that it has somehow increased the growth of my eyelashes since I also place it all around the eye area (without the slightest irritation, I might add.)

Of all the ZO products I am using this is my favourite - the price not so much.
