Obagi Medical - Nu-Derm Foaming Gel (200 ml)

A fresh gel cleanser for skin that gets shiny quickly, which cleanses thoroughly without leaving it feeling tight.

Why it works

Oily skin doesn't need an aggressive cleanser, but one that removes sebum without drying out the skin. Otherwise, it will produce even more sebum to compensate. This gel works with cleansing agents derived from oats, which are gentle while helping to retain moisture. Aloe vera, chamomile, alfalfa, and borage extract soothe the skin. It foams slightly and feels fresh. It contains fragrance.

For whom

For normal to oily and combination skin, and for those who want to thoroughly remove makeup and the day's grime. If your skin is dry or sensitive, the Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser is the better choice.

How to use it

Morning and evening. Wet your face and neck, work a small amount into a soft lather, and massage in briefly. Rinse with lukewarm water, not hot, and pat dry. Follow with the Nu-Derm Toner.

My advice

The first habit I often have to break for those with oily skin: scrubbing until it squeaks. That feeling of being "squeaky clean" is usually a sign that the skin has lost its protective barrier. A good cleanser leaves your skin clean but comfortable.

If your skin feels tight after drying, the water is too hot or you are cleansing for too long. Massaging for thirty seconds is enough.
