Too drying for my skin
I have oily skin and used this off and on for many months. However, my skin just can't tolerate it. It makes me too flaky. I use other exfoliating products and retinoids, so maybe this is why. I think there are similar and gentler exfoliators available for less money.

Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte #4
This product irritates my skin and makes me peel badly. It's too strong to use for me every day. I only can use once a week.

Still waiting for results
Have only started using it for 3 weeks hence not sure what to expect this far! But I can say that nothing is going downhill yet so hopeful for great results!

Average
Haven’t noticed much difference in my skin after using this for a month. Probably wouldn’t purchase again.

Think it works
This product seems to lighten sun damage. It can also be drying and can cause itching if put on too heavily.

Nu-Derm Forte #4
I've been using this product since end of Nov 2018. Along with #3 and #5 (blend with 1% retinol) as my daily (AM/PM) routine, so far, I see my skin smooth, and my brown patch spot seems to be lighten up a bit. I heard it may take longer to even see your skin looking like it supposed to be after 3 months. I can't wait!

Obagi Retinol
I see no difference in my skin except I'm peeling and itching.

Ehhhhh
Decent, not the best. Feels thick on face and not really the best product for my skin.

Obagi Exfoderm Forte #4
This product was simply too harsh for me. I've been using the rest of the Obagi system for two months. I think the Blender #5 mixed with Retinol does enough exfoliating for me and the Exfoderm Forte was a step too far.

Iffy
I've used this product almost 2 months and I can't say if it's doing anything. My skin still goes through patches of 3 days of severe dry skin then that sheds off and it's nice for 3 days then the next I can tell the dry cycle is coming. I use other acne products and a retinol at night but that hasn't changed. I think I'll try lightening up the other products and see if that helps because I have read so much great about this product.

Never before used
The only reason that I gave this product 3 stars is because I have never used this type of product. I have no idea if it's doing great or its just so-so. In all fairness I've only been using it a couple of weeks.

I Think Its Working!
I have only been using this product a short period of time, thus, the 3-stars. The product is gentle enough for my 60-yr-old, sensitive, slightly oily skin. A little goes a long way, disappears quickly into the skin, and have not noticed any peeling or flakiness (but, I have used Retin A mixed with my nightly moisturizer for quite a while). I cant use an abrasive exfoliation method due to my skin sensitivity so, I am hopeful this is working.

Not one of my favorite Obagi products
I do believe this product works described. It does seem to help exfoliate my skin turnover more quickly but I find it to be a bit irritating to the skin. Have started using it every three days instead of daily.

not sure yet
This product certainly does enhance exfoliation. I am using the whole system and do not see the rave results that others do. I am only 5 weeks in though. This is my second time around because I have never gotten thru the first stage.
