Don't Miss:

Hi, Alejandro:Although Dr. Obagi conceived and bhgourt to market the original Obagi Nu-Derm and ZO Skin Health, the two companies that make these brands are separate; therefore I am unable to give you advice about Obagi Nu-Derm. Depending on the severity of the acne, you may want to consider ZO Skin Health’s acne products namely:Exfoliating Cleanser. Are you using a cleanser for oily skin? It will help reduce sebum production, but be sure to use if for all face and body parts that are affected by acne. Avoid hot showers, which only increase your skin’s oil production, and try to keep your showers short.Exfoliating Polish. This is great to deep cleanse the pores and remove the dead skin cells that harbor bacteria. It is fairly abrasive, so you may want to be gentle until such time as you establish your skin tolerance. Use it as little as twice a week, or as frequently as daily.TE Pads. Use one pad over acne-prone areas, twice a day. It will dry your skin, reduce sebum (and the problems associated with it) and relieve congested pores. As for tretinoin, Dr. Obagi recommends cream (instead of gel) and always prefers the .1% concentration. Try that, and let us know how you do! Thanks.Donna Queen
