Prior to getting preg, I used Obagi NuDerm line. This stuff is THE BEST! It's sold at plastic surgeons and aestheticians, and it's basically amazing. BUT it has hydroquinone in it (skin tone brightening/bleaching and fades dark spots) and also uses Retin-A mixed in with one product. So a big fat NO while preg and breastfeeding.

After reading online, I saw a suggestion to switch to Caudalie skincare as an alternative to Obagi. It's supposed to be fabulous, made from organic grapes, and great for skin color corrections (I get stupid spots!) and anti-aging. I have been buying the Premier Le Cru line, which I read was a great alternative to Obagi while preg/BFing.

I was looking at my skin, and I know pregnancy doesn't do great things for pigmentation, but I am noticing a lot more freckly-looking spots on my face. So I'm thinking I may need to jump ship! Also, I'm all about ANTI-AGING (I'm 32)....

Do you have any suggestions or can you share the products that you have noticed have done wonderful things for your skin? Share what works for you and why!!!

I am not afraid of expensive stuff as long as it works!

PS: I also used the Clinique Dark Spot Corrector and it was Bush League!

PSS: My boss told me about Arbonne - it's almost as expensive as Obagi but if it works, I may do it...Anyone know anything about it?
