4 week Pre Obagi & Week 1 - Routine

I began by using GM Collin Derma Peel for 4 weeks. Once a week on my face and neck.

The peel was very mild on my skin. It only gave me a slight tingling sensation. But I think it prepped my skin for the Obagi process. *Keep in mind that I have been through the Obagi process once before in 2008. My results were amazing but I stopped using Obagi for a few years. Now I wish I hadn't.

Week 1 Obagi Routine: I ordered the Obagi NuDerm Normal to Dry travel set. I gave my daughter the cleanser as I prefer the foaming gel cleanser. But I am prefering the exfoderm to the exfoderm forte. Less drying and cracking of my skin.

Instead of using the Obagi Vitamin C Serum I am using the GM Collin Vitamin C Serum it seems to stay fresh longer:

Also, instead of using the Obagi tolereen for redness or inflamation I have been using Cortizone 10 plus. Much cheaper with the same results. Although, there is a little stinging. I might have to break down and order the tolereen. I've had to use this on the corners of my mouth. Otherwise, the corners of my mouth are red and slightly raw.

I am currently using the Trentinoin 0.05%. I've had minimal peeling. I might move up to the 0.1% strength cream if I don't start peeling more soon.

I have ordered extra Sunscreen and Toner (apply with a cotton ball it will last longer). They both run out the quickest.

It has been pretty tame so far. I have seen marked improvement in my skins texture and oiliness. But am still having minor breakouts around my hair line and cheeks.
