    Okay, my skin is peeling and looking a little red
    I've been using Obagi with Retin-a for several weeks and I am starting to peel and my skin tone looks red. Is this normal? Will it go away or should I stop using it?

    Skin peeling and redness are all a part of the skin lightening and or whitening process--so get used to it or stay brown. ^_^

    BUT--if it's getting excessive--and extremely painful and unbearable then yes of course you should ease up or let it go completely.

    Good luck! :D

    Retin-a does make you peel. However in the instructions for retin-a it does say you can ease up on the Obagi not so sure you might want to read the instructions to make sure. It just sounds like your skin is a little irritated.

    Retin A and Obagi are very effective but expensive. You'll peel and peel for about 3-5 weeks but once your skin transforms, results are fantastic!
