FAQ

Q: Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes, the Obagi-C Fx C-Clarifying Serum is hydroquinone-free, non-comedogenic, and allergy-tested, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. However, we recommend performing a patch test before first use and speaking to our skincare experts for personalised advice.

Q: How long until I see results?
A: Results vary depending on individual skin concerns. With consistent daily use, some users report visible improvements in skin brightness within 4–6 weeks. For more significant concerns such as hyperpigmentation, continued use over 8–12 weeks is recommended for optimal results.

Q: Can I use this serum with other Obagi products?
A: Absolutely. This serum is designed to work as part of the comprehensive Obagi-C Fx System and can be combined with other Obagi products for enhanced results. Our experts recommend using it alongside the Obagi-C Cleansing Gel, Balancing Toner, and C-Therapy Night Cream for a complete brightening regimen.

Q: What is the difference between Obagi-C Fx and Obagi-C Rx?
A: The Fx range is hydroquinone-free and available without prescription, using Arbutin as the key brightening agent. The Rx range contains 4% hydroquinone, which requires a prescription in the UK. The Fx version is ideal for those with sensitivities to hydroquinone or as a maintenance regime between prescription treatments.

Q: Why might my serum change colour?
A: Obagi Vitamin C serums may vary in colour from clear to deep amber due to the nature of the natural antioxidant. This is normal and does not affect product efficacy. Store away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal potency.
