If you are considering buying this Exfoderm Forte product, I suggest you visit a skin care professional first.  Get their advice and directions for proper use.  This product page does a poor job of explaining just what this product is supposed to do for your face.  The directions on the box and the back of the container advise you to use a pea-size drop (or a bit more) and rub it on your face in the morning.  It also advises one to use a quality sunscreen while using this product.

Questions I can't find answers to anywhere:
--What kind of results am I supposed to see?
--How long should I use this?
--Do I use it around my eye area, or avoid sensitive skin?

There are NO tiny grains or particles in this lotion.  The lotion is soft, smooth and with gently finger motion will absorb into the skin.  At least that is what I experienced.

It is NOT greasy or waxy or heavy in any way.  At least that is what I experienced.

After reading many of the reviews here, I was more that a bit concerned that I would wake up and find my facial skin peeling.  That has not been my experience--and I've been using it faithfully for well over a week--in my morning routine.  I have followed up its application--faithfully--with the Obagi sunscreen.  My skin has not peeled.  My skin has not gotten red.  My skin has not dried.

Do I see any results?  What results am I looking for?  Who knows......I've gone to the Obagi website and I've done internet searches, and I still don't have a firm grip on what I'm looking for.

If anything, I've gotten a bit of breakout to the sides and below my lower lip and to the chin.  It could be caused by the Obagi sunscreen, though, and not this Exfoderm.

I'm going back to my previous routine:  Biore charcoal bar which has some scrub in it, witch hazel spray toner and my favorite "brightening" serum (with hyaluronic acid and a hodge-podge of other goodies in it).
