Reviews For Obagi Professional-C Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask 30%
So fresh and so clean clean
This product is great it polishes the skin with out being overly abrasive. It left my skin feeling a little oily but not grease. The only issue I had was it was hard to get out of the container. Great product. I received this product complementary for my review.

Nice
This mask is really strong I found that I have to leave it on no longer then 5 min or I will start to get really dry and I've been using it once a week but besides that it does do what it says. I received this complementary to review.

Nice exfoliation
I've never done microdermabrasion before so this was my first experience. The product was a little difficult to use at first, it was very firm and took a bit of scrubbing to melt it into my skin. Despite the fact that I have very sensitive skin I did not experience the burning other people have experienced and I left it a good 15 minutes, my skin was a little red however. After rinsing I could see that my skin was definitely brighter and looked great. Happy to had this to my monthly routine. *I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review.

Good exfoliator, brightens skin, but leaves residue
I did receive this as a complimentary product for my honest review. I was really hoping to love this as much as I loved the serum, however, it left an oily or waxy residue on my skin and had to use another deep cleanser to remove it. Pros: Goes on easily SMELLS so good, I wanted to eat it up. I like the tingle feeling of it My skin was brighter and felt smoother Cons: It is hard at first so scraping out the right amount is guess play. It left a weird residue on my skin. Would I get this again yes but I think I will warm it up and try it again.

Overall a great product
My initial thought while opening the Jar was - Ahhhh .. It smells so good and then a min later OMG what is this? Is it expired? Why is it so thick? How am I going to use this as Mask? Yes if you don’t read the instructions carefully this is exactly how you will feel. This mask is made without water - and that explain this thick waxy like consistency How I use it The key to break that very hard, thick, dense consistency of this polish is to add Water. You can apply on your damp face or use it my way -> scrape the product out and mix it with few drops of water in your hand and then easily apply it to your dump face... keep it for 10/15 mins and then wipe your face with a hot towel(must) or just take shower. Pros- what I love * My skin felt insanely Soft and Plumped without any irritation. *Loved that glow after every use. It most certainly does what they say it does - brightens skin, exfoliates and minimizes fine lines ( ok, not sure about the fine lines yet as I only used it 5 times so far) *It’s high quality, very effective and gentle on my skin *This will last for a very long time Concerns *There is a learning curve with this product but Once you get past that learning curve of how to use it, you will love it. *I feel it does leave a waxy kind of residue on your face so wiping your face with a HOT towel is a MUST. *Your skin will tingle a little but I that *Has a strong fragrance but doesn’t bother me at all I received this complementary to review

Brightens skin!
I wasn't really thrilled with how this product goes onto your face. The polish is really crumbly but once it is on and soaks into your skin you can feel it working. As soon as it is washed off you can feel the smoothness and the plumpness of the rehydrated skin. Gives a great glow!!! I received this product complementary to review.

Great mask/exfoliation
I received this complimentary for my review. I’ve been happy with the results so far. My skin feels and looks smooth and hydrated. I was concerned about the tingling at first, but my skin adjusted. I liked the scoop that came with it but I wish there was a way to attach it to the lid. The mask is difficult to wash off, but I like the feeling of hydration.

Glowy skin but don’t rinse off in the shower!
I absolutely love this mask. I traditionally put mask on before entering the shower and rinse of in shower...don’t do it with this mask it, will burn your eyes like orange peels. Speaking of oranges, this will peel (gently) like an orange, from old bumpy skin to smoother and brighter under. Love pairing it with the Obagi’s Vitamin-C 20% serum. A perfect pairing. I received this product complimentary for testing through Influenster. As an esthetician, I approve. Enjoy!

Great product just not great texture
It's quite hard texture and it's a little difficult to apply. Comes with a scoop but I found it inconvenient spreading it evenly on my face. It worked better once I added a lil water to it to help smoothen it out. But results wise, I'm very happy with my brighter, glowing, smoother face! I was sent this product complimentary for review purposes.

Polished and renewed
Use this before the vit c serum and you will see a complete change. Cleaned all my dry skin off and prepped it for the serum. Def worth using. I received this for free to review.

Skin tone more even
It left my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. I haven't noticed a significant amount of change in fine lines but I did notice my skin tone is more even. This mask left my face feeling moisturized and soft. I would definitely recommend checking this mask. It was kind of hard to scoop out but once you get past the hard top layer its much easier. I did receive this product complimentary for testing purposes.

Decent Mask
This product has a very pleasant citrus/orange smell; however, it was somewhat difficult to apply initially. The mask comes with a plastic spatula applicator, but the top of the mask is rather hard which makes it difficult to scoop the mask out. Once you break (scrape through) that initial harder layer, the mask underneath is much softer and easier to apply. Once applied, I did notice some slight tingling, but nothing too intense. Side Note: the instructions say to apply to damp skin, but I found that the mask applied better when my skin was wet not damp. Overall, this is a decent mask and it made my skin feel smooth. I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest feedback.

Leaves skin soft
So I like this product and then there are things about it that I don't like. 1st off I think that on the packaging it should let you know right off the batt that it is going to be a very thick and hard product that is emollient when rubbed in between the fingers and on to the face. When I first opened it I thought that I had gotten one that was dried out until I went online and read people reviews and watched videos about the product. So basically it comes with a spatula and you are to scoop some out and apply it on your face. The spatula was kind of hard to use. It didn't scoop the product out very easily. I have a face cream that comes in a jar that has a metal spatula that I used instead. Scrub it all over your face and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes and then wipe it off with a warm microfiber towel. Keyword warm. This is a balm with scrubbies. So it's not going to turn in to a foam or cleanser it will literally just going to stay on your face. The reason I say keyword warm water on the towel is because if you don't use warm water you're going to have a hard time wiping it off. All that being said once I used it the 1st time I could not get over how great my skin looks. It was so soft and I looked younger immediately. I used a vitamin C serum following and then applied my moisturizer are and I cannot get over the difference in my skin. If you're on the fence it's definitely worth giving it a shot and trying it you won't be disappointed. I received this complementary for my review.

Smells amazing!
I received this complimentary from influenster. I been using it for a little over 3 weeks now. I love the smell! Smells like oranges. Not overpowering tho. The texture was a little different than what I was expecting. But smooths on a wet face wonderful. Tingles a little nothing bad. Makes my face so much brighter and clean looking!! My skin feels softer as well. I have normal to dry skin. Works great for me.

Love my results so far.
I love my results. I am achieving my goal of fading the melasma spot over my lip. It’s been so frustrating and I’ve been dealing with it for years. From the time of my review, I have been using this product for 16 days. I received this product and a Vitamin C serum for free from Influenster in exchange for my review. I use the microdermabrasion scrub every 2-3 days and the vitamin C twice daily. I do not use any other products except a face wash and moisturizer. First: I deducted a star for Obagi’s confusing directions. I ended up watching a tutorial from a dermatologist on YouTube and this helped me. You have to take the applicator and dig into the product and begin whipping. It will become a little.. fluffier? It’s still thick but it applies smoothly. I just whipped enough for that application. She said to use about a teaspoon. I probably used just a little less. I massaged it in for about a minute and let it sit on my face for a max of 15 min. Second: be careful with this product. I mixed it with an acid the first day, not realizing what I was doing. Big yikes. From that day forward I stopped using any other products and stuck with these 2. I highly recommend that. I experienced some purging or irritation? Not sure which but it calmed down once I eliminated my other routine products. I think once I’m happy with my skin, I’ll stop using the mask as frequently and only use the vitamin c during the day. You also want to be mindful of how long you keep it on your face. It’s very potent. At first maybe try 5 minutes. I can do 15 minutes now but I had to work up to it. Third: people say it’s expensive and I’m not sure I agree. For what it does, I would pay hundreds. Also, if your skin is in better condition than mine, you probably don’t need to use it very often. This product could probably last 5 months or more, just doing it on a weekly basis. I think these are great products and they work well together. I am very happy with my results!

Was Skeptical But Happy I Tried It!
I was pleasantly surprised by this product! I received it for free to test out and give my honest review. First, I liked the packaging. It felt high end but still simple. The product itself is interesting. It has a strong orange smell, but it doesn't linger. I used the mask three times a week for two weeks. The mask itself is hard. You literally have to scrape it with the little enclosed spatula. You also need to make sure your skin is wet (not damp like the package states) or it won't spread out on your skin. Two things to note; First, the brand tells you to leave it on for 10 -15 min then wipe it off & rinse your face. Don't skip the wipe step! It leaves an oily residue behind. Second, the product warns it can cause tingling, redness, irritation, etc. I didn't experience this, though, I don't have sensitive skin. After two weeks of use, I was happy to see an improvement to my skin. It was brighter (note, I was also using the serum from the same line), had less texture, and less redness. I believe I'm seeing some reduction in my pores and fine lines, as well. On the down side, it caused my skin to be a bit dry. I will probably move to using it twice a week with a thicker moisturizer. Additionally, this product is not cheap. That being said, if I continue to see results, I would repurchase it! You get a lot in the tub, so it will last. After two weeks of use, I didn't make a dent. If you want a gentler facial peel, this is a great option. Be careful if you have super dry or sensitive skin, however.

Powerful resurfacer
I was really excited to get this free sample from Influenster for my honest assessment of the product. I have extremely sensitive acne- prone, acne- scarred skin so I've been really interested to try a highly concentrated product to see the result on my scars. So far I've noticed a smoother texture to my skin and smaller pores. Scars are becoming less deep. One observation is that the product will trigger rosacea if you are prone.. it's a strong product. It does fade after a few hours but the slight burning sensation will linger a little-- similar to getting a chemical peel. My criticism is that it's a little hard to use. You have to scoop it out and then rub it in between your fingers to melt it enough to apply it. It's a little awkward and cumbersome to apply but it works.

A little goes a long way!
I received this product complimentary for testing purposes. On my first use, I underestimated the scrubbing power of this polish and I overdid it and later realized I had removed too much skin. It healed within a couple days. I have learned that if I use the provided spatula, I can scrape a small amount off the top of the product in the container. With my face damp and my fingers damp, it is very easy to spread. The second time I used it I was very gentle with rubbing it on and I only kept in on for 8 minutes. That did the trick! No stinging and just the right amount of exfoliation. I agree that it is best to use it right before you jump in the shower because it leaves a film on your face. That way I am able to wash it off in the shower. Afterwards I use only moisturizer over my face to avoid irritating my skin. My skin is unbelievably soft after using it. My rosacea actually looked less red and bumpy. Once you get past the learning curve of how to use it, it is high quality and very effective and gentle, and it will last a very long time!

A little zingy
I love the smell, but not sure of the texture or tingly feeling my face is having. Going on it felt dry yet greasy like petroleum jelly. Wasn’t sure how oily it was. I have washed my face and it’s still tingly, red and a little burning feeling. Hope it’s not as red in the morning. I received this complementary for review purposes.

Love this stuff!
I received this product complimentary from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I am a skincare junkie, and have always been interested in trying this line- had heard from several aesthetician friends that it is well worth the hype! This product does have a strange consistency, as others have mentioned. However, I found that if I mix it with a bit of water in my hand before applying, the consistency becomes creamier and easy to apply. Have been using it for about 2 weeks, and I have noticed improved texture/softness as well as radiance. Definitely far superior to other vitamin C products I have tried!
