Obagi Nu-Derm: what to expect from the system
The prescription and FX versions, how the system works and why the first weeks can look worse before better.
Quick answer: Obagi Nu-Derm is a structured system for pigmentation and photo-ageing. The prescription version needs a prescriber consultation; the FX version is available without one. Expect an adjustment phase of peeling and redness.
How it works
Nu-Derm combines exfoliation, pigment control and renewal in a set order.
Prescription or FX
The prescription system contains stronger actives and is supplied after a prescriber consultation.
The adjustment phase
Redness and peeling in the first weeks are expected and settle.
