I am an adult with freckles…LOTS of freckles. When I was about 10 years old, I remember buying a jar of Esoterica, because it promised to take away my freckles. Needless to say, it didn’t work…so I have lived with a freckly face my entire life. I recently began hearing friends talk about a skincare system called Obagi, which promises to completely remove, or significantly decrease, any skin pigmentation. I began dreaming of a freckle-less face! So I talked to my esthetician about it, and she said that I was an excellent candidate for it. She told me that it would not only drastically reduce my freckles, but the tretinoin and other products would penetrate into my skin at the deepest levels, so that it actually accelerates cellular turnover! All of that equals less wrinkles, smoother texture, and increased firmness. SOLD! It has prescription-grade levels of tretinoin and hydroquinone, so it has to be prescribed by a physician (usually a plastic surgeon). You will experience a yucky “really red and really peely” phase, but we girls must suffer for beauty sometimes! Here’s what the Obagi website says about the Nu-Derm System:The Obagi Nu-Derm System, a physician-prescribed skin care system, accelerates the cellular turnover. This System penetrates deep to improve damage in layers of the skin. It boosts functions of the skin at the cellular level to improve skin’s cellular function to help it look and act younger and healthier. The System triggers our Therapeutic Cascade^TM of actions that:
• Pushes fresher cells to the surface faster, for smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and increased tolerance
• Reduces mottled pigmentation (freckles and age spots) and helps prevent the appearance of new pigmentation
• Promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, more even skin tone
• Helps increase collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient looking skin
• Increases nutrients natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking skin

If you’re serious about getting serious about your skin, I encourage you to take a look at Obagi’s website. There are lots of “before and after” photos…I wish you could see mine, the results are absolutely amazing! There’s also a link where you can plug in your zip code and see the physicians in your area who sell Obagi. It is on the expensive side (approx. $450 for the entire kit, which should last you around 6 months), but if a product does what it says it will do and you see the results, it’s worth the money girls! Check ‘em out…you’ll be thanking me later!
