Obagi & AlumierMD Skincare | Skintique

Frequently asked questions

Obagi or AlumierMD — which should I start with?

Start with an AlumierMD base — Purifying Gel Cleanser, HydraLight Moisturiser and Clear Shield SPF 30 — to settle skin with easy daily hydration and protection. Reach for Obagi's Professional-C Serum and Nu-Derm range once you want stronger vitamin C and firmer work on tone and texture. Build the AlumierMD routine for two to three weeks before you introduce Obagi's stronger actives.

How do I combine AlumierMD and Obagi in one routine?

Keep the gentle, hydrating steps from AlumierMD and the treatment steps from Obagi so they complement rather than clash. Cleanse with AlumierMD Purifying Gel or SensiCalm Cleanser, apply your Obagi vitamin C or targeted serum, then lock in an AlumierMD Hydra moisturiser and Sheer Hydration SPF 30 each morning. Alternate strong actives from either brand on separate evenings rather than stacking them the same night.

I want brighter, more even-looking skin — what should I use across these brands?

From AlumierMD, use Bright & Clear Solution morning and night to smooth the look of marks, with Ultimate Boost Serum underneath for hydration. Add Obagi's Professional-C Serum each morning for a vitamin C boost that visibly brightens over 8–12 weeks. Finish with SPF — Clear Shield or Sheer Hydration — since sun exposure undoes tone work fastest.

Which of these brands suit pregnancy or very reactive skin?

Stay on AlumierMD's gentle side — SensiCalm Cleanser, HydraCalm Moisturiser and the pure mineral Clear Shield SPF 30 — and leave retinol and high-strength acids from either brand until after pregnancy. Obagi's stronger Nu-Derm system belongs in a supervised plan rather than picked off the shelf. Introduce one product at a time and clear any active with your midwife or GP.
