Stressed


I believe it does help PS. When I put it on new pimples that are red, they flatten out considerably and the redness is reduced so that it doesn't spot. And you'll notice that in about 4 weeks, previous spots will fade. But you have to use regularly.

How is your skin PS? Do you break out a lot? If it's only a few spots that you're worried about then just get the lightening serum/cream from the Obagi system.

The BOTTOM LINE is that it's the HYDROQUINONE/VITAMIN C concentration that fades out the spots. So, also consider asking the derm about OTHER lotions that contain hydroquinone that can vanish your spots.....if you find Obagi to be too pricey (which it is). Doesn't hurt to ask.

And Ps, you mentioned that you have gotten glycolic peel before. I found that they reduce spots as well. So, if your wedding is coming up soon and you feel that you don't have the time to wait for a product to work.....then ask the derm about how many chemical peel sessions it will take to fade the spots out (if you're looking for a quicker treatment).
