      Newbie to Obagi products

      I do see a noticeable change; especially in my 'number 11' lines between my eyes. Sixty-two-yrs-old. Not sure if this or the plant based Kinetin moisturizer is blocking my pores. That I need to figure out- a definite negative for my skin.

      The best product on the market

      I have used Obagi Vitamin C 20% for fifteen years and I wouldn’t miss one morning

      I am 71 years old. And as you can see, no wrinkles. I owe this to Dr John Mallen plastic surgeon who I introduced me to Obagi years ago

      Thank you
