Honestly I would not invest in the whole system as it is very pricey. I considered doing so at one point last year but I decided against it. In my honest opinion all you really need is the blender because that has the active 4% hq in it, and you could buy your tretinoin or retin a cheaper elsewhere. I looked on the website and see that they have a C-Clarifying Serum. I WOULD REALLLLY GET THIS INSTEAD and now you have me considering it lol because it has 4% hq AND Vitamin C, but I hope the vitamin c is still stable, but anywho serums are usually more effective than lotions. Let us know what you decide (Go with the serum lol) and good luck.

I bought the whole set. I got mines off of Amazon. I was using the 2% hydroquinone and didn't know it. I was wondering why I was getting so dark. I got very chocolate last summer until I realized that the bleaching cream was only 2%

I use their foam wash which works excellent for acne along with my hydroquinone 4%. Its working for me. All the other products are pretty useless and just to take your money

I have used this, you are better off buying some generic 4% HQ....it will do the same thing, Obagi is not special....its just a brand name
