I am about to try Obagi for the first time. I am more scared of breaking out really bad more then I am about the redness and peeling since I have been getting microdermabrasion at the Derm's office for the last two months. I have a lot of blackheads under the skin and I am afraid they are all going to come out. Can anyone tell me if they got realy bad breakouts in the beginning or is it just redness and peeling. Thanks so much for your responses.
I did not break out when I first started using Obagi. I got the redness and I got the peeling. The blackheads on my nose did get more prominent. I went to get a facial after 2 1/2 months and the aesthetician extracted the blackheads. My dermatologist recommended that during my facial I should not have the aesthetician use any creams on my face because the creams could make me break out. It has been 4 months since I've been using Obagi. I don't break out as much (my skin is acne-prone and VERY oily). When I feel a pimple coming on, I put a dollop of retin-A on it. Instead of getting a zit, I get a small whitehead. I guess the whitehead is better than the zit because the zit isn't there as long as the whitehead.
