Ok so an update. It's been almost 3 weeks that I've been using the Obagi-C RX system.
The first week and a half were a little rough. Some redness, and peeling (but not as much as I had expected). I don't have acne, so it was weird that I got some minor pimples here and there during the first 2 weeks. I guess it in line with the "it gets worse before it gets better" mantra.
Now that I'm well into my 3rd+ week all the redness is gone, no more pimples, and honestly my skin glows! I feel totally confident pulling all my hair back off my face and wearing sheer/nude makeup to just highlight my skin!
I probably don't need to use foundation, but I love my foundation, and it just works really well with the Obagi System. I use Armani Silk Luminous foundation.
I'm almost tempted to move toward the Obagi Nu-derm afterwards after the C-RX is gone to see if I can get even better effects.
I can see some of my freckles starting to fade, but I imagine that will tak a bit longer.
I'm going to talk to my dermatologist.
