OBAGI - I guess I didn't peel or turn too red.
I guess it is true. Not everyone who uses Obagi will get noticeable (negative) reactions in the beginning of the "out with the old" segment. Some people get some redness and some peeling. I on the other had haven't gotten much of any reaction to the product at all. This was also true for my mother who had started on OBAGI several years ago. I'm glad it was relatively painless (visually and physically) for me to start on OBAGI - I'm very happy with the product so far and have been seeing visible results!

OBAGI - VISIA Improvements at 3 weeks
I've been on the Obagi Nu-derm system (their top of the line skin care product line) for about 3 weeks. Mostly improvements noted on the VISIA machine (skin care anlysis by computer) and some worsening of other parameters.
I decided to do a 3 week follow up VISIA skin analysis on the left side of my face. The comparison is from 9/18/09 to 10/10/09
VISIA IMPROVEMENTS:
I had improvements already in: Spots, Wrinkles, Texture, and Pores.
Spots went from 29% to 33% (improvement!)
Wrinkles went from 11% to 40% (big improvement!)
Texture went from 5% to 9% (improvement!)
Pores went from 2% to 3% (slight improvement)
VISIA "Step back" (worsening results):
Red areas and Brown Spots got worse! But keep in mind this is only 3 weeks of using the product and we are in the first stages of getting used to the product.
Red areas: went from 48 to 74 for a feature count
Brown spots went from 160 to 183 for a feature count
Taking a step back on these items in order to take steps forward. This is common as I've heard from our aestheticians that there are increases in Red areas - as there is some inflammation in this phase of "Out with the Old." I'm not sure why I have a worsening of Brown spots, but we shall see what the trend shows.

4 phases of Obagi Transformation: Phase 1 "out with the old"
From the Obagi website:
The Four Phases of Transformation
Phase 1
OUT WITH THE OLD (Weeks 1-6)
Nu-Derm System penetrates to the deepest layer of your skin to correct signs of premature aging and acne flares
Old, dead skin cells are pushed to the surface and replaced with fresh cells
Itching, dryness and redness are possible side effects as your skin adapts to the system
Expect: Pigmented skin cells to become regulated, creating a more even toned appearance
My notes at week #2 (Today would be Day #14 for me).
I am almost in the middle of Phase 1. I have minor itchiness and minor redness. I have noticed that I do have more acne breakouts. This, as I've been told by many OBAGI Nu-derm users, is completely expected. I have heard this phase as "purging" of the old facial skin.

I made it to two weeks so far with OBAGI
I have to admit that I have skipped 2 "session/regimens" with OBAGI nu-derm. One was at night when I was just so dead tired, and another as I was late for an AM appointment.
As directed, I went on as if those "regimens" were done.
It really doesn't take that long as I've gotten more efficient with the system. Really just takes a few minutes. For many, this would be a worthwhile investment for healthy and good looking skin.
I hope to post some pictures on here - especially the visia photographs that I have done of the left side of my face.
My colleagues at work notice slight peeling, and some slight redness so far. I've already noticed that my skin is smoother and that I don't need as much OBAGI product on my hands to make them spread over my skin. Meaning: I used to use more product before, and now I don't have to use as much - just an observation that I had.
I will continue to keep posting.
