This list is not exhaustive more products available in clinic
This requires a full consultation as this is a prescription only product.
Factors such as sun exposure and genetics contribute to photoageing, which results in premature ageing of the skin.1 Obagi Nu-Derm® is the #1 physician-dispensed skin care system specifically formulated for all skin types. 2 This hyperpigmentation system contains prescription 4% hydroquinone to correct hyperpigmentation and help restore younger, healthier-looking skin. The Obagi Nu-Derm® System plus tretinoin* helps to improve these signs of visible skin ageing: • Hyperpigmentation and sun spots • Rough, uneven skin • Unwanted lax or loose-looking skin • Appearance of fine lines and wrinkle
Nu-Derm Transforms Your Skin From the Inside Out
Skin aging is a natural process, but daily sun exposure can contribute to premature aging. Sun-damaged skin appears dull, with older, damaged cells accumulating due to slower skin cell turnover.
The Nu-Derm System helps transform the skin’s appearance by reducing darks spots, revealing younger, healthier-looking skin.
Nu-Derm is ideal if you have:
o Age spots
o Rough skin
o Erythema (redness)
o Sallowness (yellowish complexion)
o Hyperpigmentation (discoloration)
Important Safety Information for Obagi Nu-Derm Clear, Blender® and Sunfader
(contains 4% hydroquinone)
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
People with prior history of sensitivity or allergic reaction to this product or any of its ingredients should not use it. The safety of topical hydroquinone use during pregnancy or in children (12 years and under) has not been established.
WARNINGS:
Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, or lips. In case of accidental contact, patient should rinse eyes, nose, mouth, or lips with water and contact physician.
Sunscreen use is an essential aspect of hydroquinone therapy because even minimal sunlight exposure sustains melanocytic activity.
Contains sodium metabisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible people. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low. Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic people.
PRECAUTIONS (ALSO SEE WARNINGS):
Treatment should be limited to relatively small areas of the body at one time since some patients experience a transient skin reddening and a mild burning sensation, which does not preclude treatment.
Obagi Nu-Derm Fx System
The Nu-Derm® Fx System is the physician-dispensed, skin care system that can actually transform your skin at the cellular level.

NEW ELASTIderm® Facial Serum
Also uses the patented Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™ which helps support skin elasticity so it can bounce back from the signs of ageing, resulting in firmer-looking, more resilient skin.
The Most Clinically Studied Obagi Medical Product in 10 Years
After 8 weeks use*:
o 100% of participants said their skin looks firmer
o 97% of participants noticed their skin feels more elastic and resilient
o 97% of participants saw a diminished appearance of crepey facial skin
o 97% of participants reported, “my skin has bounce back”
How It Works
Not all elastin is made equal. As we age, we lose and damage elastin, an essential protein responsible for skin’s elasticity and ability to keep its bounce. The natural depletion of elastin is accelerated by sun exposure, resulting in the appearance of sagging, laxity, and crepiness as well as the loss of firmness in the skin.
Over time, the body loses its ability to make elastin, and products that simply add topical elastin to the skin aren’t enough to overcome this loss. Elastin must go through the three crucial stages of Create, Convert, and Organise in order to benefit skin.
o Create – new elastin is formed
o Convert – newly created elastin is assembled
o Organise – newly assembled elastin is organised in the optimal orientation
