I was recommended the Obagi Nu-Derm System to treat my melasma due to hormonal imbalance, as well as minimize the appearance of anti-aging signs such as wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and hyperpigmentation. I was excited when Le Petit Spa became the authorized reseller of the Obagi skin care line because I needed to start the Obagi Nu-Derm System again after noticing that my melasma and pigmentation darkened.
There are two types of Obagi Nu-Derm System Kits: normal to dry skin and normal to oily skin. Both these kits are formulated with hydroquinone for those with extreme cases. There are also two versions without hydroquinone for those with mild cases: normal to dry skin FX and normal to oily skin FX. Currently I am using the Obagi Nu-Derm System for normal to dry skin with hydroquinone. The system kits comes with Gentle Cleanser, Toner, Clear, Exfoderm, Blender, and Hydrate, The difference in the normal to oily kit is the Foaming Gel and Exfoderm Forte. One system kit is good for approximately three months.
Currently I am using two system kits back to back for a 6-month treatment. I am in my 4th month of treatment and I saw results during the first week. My skin was brighter, smoother, and more supple. The first month my skin peeled lightly, which was normal because the retinol helped breakdown the pigmentation. For better results, I use the Professional-C Vitamin C Serum 10% in the morning and follow up with Hydrate moisturizer to help minimize the flaking and at night time I only apply the Hydrate moisturizer. As for eye care, I use the Elastiderm Eye Cream in the morning and evening.
Keep in mind that there will be peeling skin and dryness in the first month because the skin is shedding and regenerating so do not be intimidated from continuing the treatment. If there is any unusual stinging or irritation, it is best to stop treatment and advise a health care professional before continue using. Be very careful in the sun. Make sure to wear the Nu-Derm Sunfader SPF 15 or Nu-Derm Healthy Skin Protection.
For continuing care after you have completed the Obagi Nu-Derm System treatment, the Obagi-C RX System Intervention Kit is a great treatment as well for flawless and healthy skin. The system kit comes with C-Cleansing Gel, C-Clarifying Serum, C- Exfoliating Day Lotion, and C-Therapy Night Cream.
