I'm 19 and I purchased the Obagi Nu Derm system some months ago at a med spa after getting a facial. It was recommended by them since I have deep, old scars/pigmentation on my cheeks, due to previous acne.
But I'm just now actually getting around to using it. I'm on week three (only have minimum peeling around my mouth and chin, is that normal? I thought I should peel more) and this is what I've been doing:
Day:
1. Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Clear
4. Exfoderm Forte
5. Obagi Hydrate
6. Sun Shield Spf 50
Night:
1,2,3, and 5
Every other night:
1,2, and tretinoin 0.1% mixed with blender
My question is, when I use the tretinoin mixed with blender, do I supposed to use Clear also?
I received instructions when I purchased it, but since then, I've forgotten   |

I am using ZO Medical and Skin Health instead of the old system Obagi Nu Derm.
My face got red and peeled. I went through stages of it from week to week and calm down once you've reached eight weeks. You can try makeup to cover it, but it only make your skin look worse. |

| just because it isn't peeling doesn't mean it isn't working - you can keep working your way up to using the treintion more times a week - and yes you still use the 3 - or at least I do |

Yes, you apply Clear AM & PM. You will probably peel more if you use a full gram of 0.1% tretinoin. Many people who don't peel much aren't using enough tretinoin or Exfoderm. If you have oily skin, you will peel less than someone with dry skin. |
