I remember in 2004 my mother she had very aggressive hyperpigmentation and sever malesma she used everything but nothing works, I still remember she was covering the mirrors in our home so she doesn't see hair face and cry until she went to Dr. sharif dermatologist in UAE who started for her obagi and laser therapy, despite it was costly however after about one year major transformation happend when all malesma fade away and she started to have very glowing face, immediately she uncovered all the mirrors and she became the happiest woman ever until now it didn't come back. I'm now 25 years old and I'm using also obagi since 2 weeks and it's early to judge in my case as I'm using it only for maintenance my skin. However if any one wants to start please use it under physician supervision this is my advice to u. Stay safe
