Frequently asked questions
Which Obagi products should I start with for blemish-prone skin?
Which Obagi products should I start with for blemish-prone skin?
Start with the two-step CLENZIderm M.D. duo: the Foaming Cleanser twice a day to clear excess oil and debris, followed by the Pore Therapy toner to sweep salicylic acid into congested pores. Use them together morning and night as your core for oilier, blemish-prone skin. Give the routine a fortnight to settle before judging it.
How do I use the CLENZIderm Foaming Cleanser and Pore Therapy?
How do I use the CLENZIderm Foaming Cleanser and Pore Therapy?
Massage the Foaming Cleanser over damp skin for 30-60 seconds so the salicylic acid has contact time, then rinse. Sweep the Pore Therapy toner across the T-zone and any congested areas with a cotton pad, and let it dry before your moisturiser. Run the pair twice daily, easing to once if your skin feels tight.
What does salicylic acid do for congested skin?
What does salicylic acid do for congested skin?
Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it travels into the pore lining to loosen the build-up behind blackheads and blemishes. Both CLENZIderm steps use it, which is why the range suits oilier, breakout-prone skin rather than dry types. Expect a clearer, less congested-looking surface over 4-8 weeks of steady use.
Should I add a moisturiser or SPF over CLENZIderm?
Should I add a moisturiser or SPF over CLENZIderm?
Yes. Salicylic acid can dry the skin, so follow with a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser such as Obagi Hydrate and a daily SPF. In the full CLENZIderm M.D. system these two steps sit ahead of a benzoyl peroxide lotion, so keep that option open if congestion is stubborn. Hydrating well keeps the routine sustainable.
Can I use CLENZIderm with other exfoliants or retinol?
Can I use CLENZIderm with other exfoliants or retinol?
Go carefully. Stacking the salicylic acid duo with retinol or extra acids on the same night can leave skin dry and flaky. Keep CLENZIderm as your blemish routine and introduce any retinol on separate evenings, building slowly. If you're pregnant, check salicylic-acid use with your midwife or GP first.
