saw this from a website:


Obagi has informed its customers that there is a company in China making and selling “fake” Obagi products that looks just like the real thing on the outside but the ingredients are awful and dangerous for your skin!  Below are some of the sites selling the Chinese fake Obagi products.  Obagi only sells their products to authorized medical practices!

Bakit kaya walang kasamang sunfader nung bumili ako ng whole line ng Nuderm Obagi sa Belo? Hayy.


Mga sis hindi ko makita yung first thread ng Obagi sa search engine. Kung pwede sana papost ng URL dito. TIA!


xo

[juana_antonia]

Never tried the sunfader.  Parati din sunblock kasama sa mga set ko.

[Serena.]

Nakakapagtaka, matatapos na ko sa first cycle ko pero hindi pa din nag ppeel yung forehead ko, yun na lang yung part na hindi nagppeel. Parang naiiwan tuloy sya sa color ng cheeks ko. HAYY.


Hindi pa din ako makapag decide kung bibili ako ng sunfader. May ibang use din kasi sya aside from sun protection unlike sunblock.

Hi sissies! ü I'm thinking about taking a break from Obagi or skincare products with hydroquinone / parabens in general...what other products do you use during your Obagi breaks that are just as effective for maintenance? Thanks!

[sandalwood]

Meron sis ang obagi ng nuderm line without the hq. It's called the fx line. Worked just as well for me as the hydroquinone ones. I was surprised as well as at first I was very skeptical. But nice din sya ot brightened and evened my skin out. I think it's in conjunction with the the tretinoin that makes it really work!
Pansin ko Lang though,pag natigil ang obagi balik naman ang kulay mg scars? Ganun din ba sa inyo? Then pag nag apply ulit ako, parang magic,after 1-2 days brighten ulit complexion ko.

^thanks for the response sis! ü glad to finally hear a review of the Fx line from an actual user. 'been curious about the Clear Fx and Blender Fx being effective also with the arbutin substitute, but I didn't want to lose the luminous effect that I've had with the hydroquinone version or maybe it's because of the retin-a too. It just started to bug me recently cause I've used Obagi for years pretty early on and I really can't imagine using hydroquinone for 40 more years or so! You're also not supposed to use Obagi if you're trying to get pregnant right? so I'm really curious what other products / facial treatments the girls over here are using to maintain the effects that they've had with Obagi. Hope to get more input. TIA! ü

I wanna try the C-Rx Line. Is this better than the Nuderm System?

[juana_antonia]

HOO has an ongoing promo, one gets a free Physical Sunblock for every purchase of regular sized NuDerm items.

[Serena.]

Naghahanap ako ng seller or mabibilan ng Obagi products from US. Ang mahal naman kasi dito sa Pinas. Pero nakakatakot lang dahil marami din ang fake nito. hayy..

[fashionista84]

^how much yung prices there sa pinas for each clear, exfoderm and blender sis?

[juana_antonia]

Clear and Blender P4950 each, Toner is p3465.

[fashionista84]

^^assuming P42 yung dollar conversion ngayon, it's cheaper by $17 from the derma I get it here sa nyc but he's a diamond physician of obagi so maybe other retailers sell it much cheaper still? I keep hearing din na it's supposed to be P2k+ per clear, etc. lang if you buy dito.  saan yun? pm me naman the infos/links of that legit seller sissies! thanks! ü

[juana_antonia]

If P2T lang yun then it must be counterfeit.  Even sa US madaming nagbebenta ng fake Obagi products.  Nagsesale ang Obagi but if sobrang mura, I will doubt its authenticity.

[zay0826]

sabi ng derma ko every other day na [textspeak!] daw paggamit ko ng Clear and Blender because of it's ingredient na hydroquinone.

[ross24]

what's your maintenance regimen sa obagi mga sis? especially yung clear, exfoderm and blender/tret? every other day, twice a week?..

[juana_antonia]

Ako everyday pa din lahat except exfoderm. Exfoderm forte ko mga 2-3x a week.  Yun clear medyo binawasan ko lang din yun amount.  Siguro it depends on your skin type ren e.

[hushlygreen]

i'm not sure if this is counterfeit but some bloggers i've seen purchase through this site. http://www.skinstore.com/obagi.aspx

thanks sis. Yung clear mo am and pm pa din? Di namanna nagbabalat face mo? sakin kc nagbabalat pa din paminsan minsan and may konting redness. Siguro dahil sa exfoderm, malakas yata yun.

[juana_antonia]

Yes sis I use Clear day and night pa din, binawasan ko lang yun amount.  Yung Exfoderm nga malakas makapag peel kaya I apply it thrice a week at most.  Yes I am still peeling, but I love it when my face is peeling, at least I know the meds are still working.
