Retin a Micro with Hydroquinone?

June 28th, 2012
asked:


A lot of my acne has gone because of my birth control but I was left with red marks the dermatologist calls it ” post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation” I’ve been using Retin a Micro 0.4% mixed with Obagi CLEAR Hydroquinone 4%. I know that the Retin a micro takes atleast 6 weeks to see improvement but all my red marks just look worse and more red. I’ve been on it for 3 weeks. Shouldn’t I see a little improvement?

Need help with melasma?

June 27th, 2012
Orchideye asked:


I have just about reached my limit with my melasma.

It’s basically hyperpigmentation on my face. At first glance it is not too noticeable but in certain light it looks awful. I had a few glycolic peels done and it made the color darker! While everything else looked better– pores got smaller, scars faded– the hyperpigmentation got worse.

I’ve tried everything– Clinique Dark Spot Corrector, hydroquinine, Origins, but nothing works.

I am very diligent with sunscreen, staying out of the sun, and using products. I take good care of my skin, but this is really starting to get to me. I also can’t afford to see a derm right now, and it was the derm who told me to use hydroquinine and the Obagi system, and it didn’t work at all.

I need to know of a product that actually WORKS, is affordable for the amount I get, and won’t use hydroquinine since I found out it’s not the best ingredient.

Thanks!

Acne scars and discoloration?

May 26th, 2012
Ainsley H asked:


Hello, I am a 17 year old girl with acne. over the year i do what all girls do and pop pimples before they become too noticeable and use tons of make up to cover them up. So now, i have many acne scars and red discoloration and my pores are huge. I use neutrogena micro clear tech for my foundation and have been using obagi clenziderm md (wash, salysilic acid, benzoclin) for my acne treatment. I was wondering if there is something i could use to help with the scars and redness and discoloration on top of that. I tried using makeup remover toilettes by biore but they broke my face out. help!!!

Is there ANYTHING that’s 100% guaranteed to get rid of acne? Please I am desperate?

May 23rd, 2012
J asked:


Look, I have done everything. Over 8 years, I’ve been to several dermatologists, I’ve been on every prescription cream & wash under the sun, tried non-presctiption like proactiv, antibacterial pills, I’ve had laser therapy (which was very painful), facials, etc. My family has spent THOUSANDS on my skin and I relentlessly break out with deep, cystic acne that leaves scars. Right now I’m using Obagi Nu-Derm, I’m about 6 weeks in, using it EXACTLY as directed and it’s not clearing my acne. In fact I’m having one of my worst breakouts as I type. I have a good diet, drink a lot of water, and take fiber, and it’s not helping much. At this point I am desperate and I am willing to spend anything and risk anything to get rid of my acne. I am 21 and I am jobless, I don’t go to college or see my friends, I don’t have any social life and I am too humiliated to even leave my house. I dropped out of school and stopped my entire life because I’m so embarrassed by my acne. Please, if anyone knows of any way to 100% get rid of acne, please tell me, I AM DESPERATE.

tca peel 12.5 %–not much peeling going on?

May 15th, 2012
meggriffin asked:


I used a 12.5 % TCA peel almost a week ago, and I’m seeing very little flaking or peeling. I use to use Retin A and Obagi skin care products before then; is this related? is my skin in need of a stronger peel, or should I use this one again and maybe get different results? I had only a little tiny bit of peeling yesterday (in the same places I always get dry skin flakes every winter, actually), and some tightness for a couple days and now my skin looks a lot like it did before i did any peel.
i did have the expected burning and stingin feeling while doing the peel and there was some patchy redness that first day, but that was it for reactions.

Obagi clear for hyperpigmentation?

March 30th, 2012
asked:


I’ve been using the Obagi clear lightening and bleaching cream with hydroquinone 4% for 2 weeks. I’ve read from a lot of users that they had some redness and peeling in the first few weeks. Now I’ve had some redness, but no peeling at all. Does that mean it’s not working?
