1) What sunscreen are you using with the Obagi Nu-derm system? I did not like the Obagi sunscreen. I am using Shiseido SPF55 (which I love) but wanted to know if you think this is a good enough sunscreen to use?
2) Do you use the Tretinoin under your eyes for wrinkles?
3) What is the difference between Blender and Clear - They are both 4% hydroquinoine?
4) Do you use a moisturizer while using this or is that a no-no?
5) What is the method you use to remove the flakies?
6) Are you concerned about reports that say hydroquinoine causes cancer and using it long-term to maintain results? |

1. The sunscreen you are using is fine, as long as you believe it is protecting you. If you find you get pigmentation or are tanning through with that, get a different sunscreen.
2. All products can be used under your eyes, except the Exfoderm.
3. The Blender is formulated to work with the Retin A and when mixed the blender helps the Retin A penetrate deeper. This also helps get rid of the pigmentation in the deeper part of your skin. The Clear is for bleaching the top layers of the skin, getting rid of the pigmentation right at the surface.
4. Moisturizer is a no-no on the Nu Derm system. However, one should follow what their derms are telling them to do. The purpose of Nu Derm is to get your skin back to a healthy state where you do not need moisturizer daily.
5. Use a microfiber cloth, a gentle enzyme exfoliation, a gentle scrub, stick your face under the showerhead and use your bare fingers - they all work and depend on what you like.
6. No. Everything I have read concerning that topic was talking about very high percent HQ, way higher than Obagi uses.
Hope that helps. |
