Any Obagi users at WDW in summer?

I'm in week 7 and my face looks great and feels good, but I am little worried about the heat and sun--I will be using spf45 Any suggestions or feedback on your experience?

What is Obagi? As a pharmacy tech I may be able too look up the info in some of my books but I don't recognize the product.

It is a skin care system that has changed my complexion. I started using it because of my dark circles and large pores. After about 6 weeks, folks were complimenting me on my skin and makeup when I wasn't even wearing makeup. It has put a glow and silky softness back in my skin. No more raccoon eyes and visible pores. I even got an added bonus when it faded away a couple of fine lines around my eyes, but it makes my skin more sensitive to the sun and heat, so I was hoping to hear how anyone else who uses this product is doing. I have 6 more weeks before I'm done with the treatment, which I will be in Orlando during part of this time. Btw, it can only be prescribed by physician.

Many folks use it to correct pigmentation or acne problems, but thank goodness I don't suffer from either.

Here the website if you want more information. Obagi

hi
Maybe you could go spend a day outside in the sun and see what happens unless of course you live at the north pole
Although I dont use the Obagi system, Ive used aha's since I was 16 and currently use the obagi ceffectives in the morning(im switching to skincuetical though , there c e and ferulic acid is good for protecting skin from the sun)
I have never burnt nor have I ever got a tan while at wdw even in the summer, Ive always joked with my mom that WDW must have a thicker ozone layer
I hope you can go to WDW and not have to be afaid of being in the sun just wear lots of sunscreen and buy a hat.
You could also try to avoid using it in the morning and just use some regular c serum and sunscreen that would cut down on any irritation from the sun. and then resume your normal routine when you come home.

The product is a combonation of tretonin and hydroquinone. According to the US Pharmaceutical Index Tretonin can cause "increase the irritation associated with these problems" if sunburned. It also notes to not apply it to sunburned skin. I would be careful if I were you. you said you were planning on using sunscreen but I would suggest a hat maybe. For more info you can just call your pharmacy. I have worked as a tech for 4.5 years and in about 5 more , I'll be a pharmacist, none of us mind getting questions. If anything it gives us a chance to use the stuff we learn Hope this helped.

I need to pick up a hat this week... I'm already armed with plenty of spf45. I have my mini-umbrella too.
