Obagi Medical - Nu-Derm Exfoderm (57 g)

A light lotion that loosens dead skin cells, leaving your skin smoother and brighter. Step 4 of the Nu-Derm Fx System, for normal to dry skin.

Why it works

Dull skin is often simply skin where old cells have lingered for too long. Light no longer reflects off it beautifully, and your skincare has a harder time penetrating it. This lotion works with phytic acid, a mild plant-based acid that gently loosens that top layer while simultaneously acting as an antioxidant. Because it is so gentle, you can use it every day. It also clears the way for the Clear Fx, allowing it to work more effectively.

The texture is a light lotion that absorbs completely.

For whom

For normal, dry, and more sensitive skin that feels dull and rough, or where fine lines and blemishes are becoming more visible.

How to use it

Once a day, in the morning, after the Clear Fx. Apply a thin layer over the entire face, avoiding the eyelids. Follow with your moisturizer and sun protection. Wash your hands after application.

A note from me

People often expect to feel something from an exfoliant, and if it doesn't tingle, they think it's not working. This one works just as well because it is gentle: you can maintain it daily without your skin protesting. What I see in those who have been using it for a few weeks is skin that catches the light again.

And because your skin becomes more sensitive to the sun: sunscreen, every day.
