Im curious about Obagi products...RV...do you like them? Do they work? You need to have a prescription to get them right?
No, PSquared, you don't need prescription to get them. Unfortunately insurance won't cover it either, so you have to pay yourself and i'll be honest it's pricey. I like the products in the sense that it DOES get rid of not only spots that are left behind from pimples, but also any dark pathhes on your skin. The dermatologist can look at you and determine which Obagi system is best for you. The CRX system is milder and is for people who don't have servere acne/skin issues. This is the one that I have. You can try it out. My cousin had some pretty dark blemishes on her skin and the derm suggested Obagi for her. When I saw her during her engagement, her skin was GLOWING and freakishly clear and porcelain-like! Like all products, it suits some people more than others.
The NuDerm system is for people who have severe acne and it uses Retin A along with hydroquinone. This system is more agressive and also more pricey, close to $400. And the CRX is $300 some. If you're thinking of purchasing it, Reha, just buy the things that you need. For example, don't buy the cleanser, especiallay if you're already using one that works. And don't buy the sunscreen because, although it's strong, it makes tan people like you and I look chalky and pasty. So just buy the other stuff and it'll be cheaper.
