How To Use

Application: Apply to thoroughly cleansed and toned skin in the evening. Dot the product onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, then spread evenly over the entire face using circular motions. Avoid the eye area.

Frequency: Use once daily in the evening or as directed by your skincare professional.

Timing: Evening application only. Allow the product to absorb completely before applying any additional products or proceeding to bed.

Layering: Can be mixed with retinoids for enhanced results. Mix approximately ½ gram (a fingertip length) of Nu-Derm Blend Fx with your retinoid product (such as Obagi Retinol 0.5) and apply evenly to the entire face. Alternatively, apply as a standalone treatment.

Expert Tips: For optimal results, use as part of the complete Obagi Nu-Derm Fx System. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen during the day, as this product contains AHAs which increase sun sensitivity. Discontinue use if no improvement is seen after three months of consistent application.

How is Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx different from Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx?

Obagi Clear Fx contains 4% Arbutin and primarily focuses on brightening the superficial layers of skin, whilst Blend Fx contains 7% Arbutin combined with Lactic Acid for dual action. Blend Fx targets deeper dermal layers and provides additional exfoliation, making it more comprehensive for severe hyperpigmentation. The richer, thicker texture of Blend Fx also makes it ideal for nighttime use and mixing with retinoids.

Can I use Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

We recommend speaking to us before using this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Please email hello@skintique.co.uk or book a consultation and our team will give you personalised advice.

How long will it take to see results from using Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx?

Many users report noticeable improvements within the first few days to two weeks of consistent use, with progressive brightening and evening of skin tone continuing over time. For optimal results addressing stubborn hyperpigmentation and melasma, we recommend consistent use for at least 8-12 weeks as part of the complete Obagi Nu-Derm Fx System. If no improvement is seen after three months of treatment, discontinue use and consult your skincare professional.

Do I need to mix Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx with a retinoid, or can I use it alone?

Blend Fx can be used either way. As a standalone treatment, it effectively brightens and clarifies the skin. However, when mixed with a retinoid such as Obagi Retinol 0.5 or prescription tretinoin, it enhances the retinoid's absorption and efficacy whilst helping to minimise potential irritation. This combination approach delivers more comprehensive anti-ageing and skin-correcting results. Consult our experts for personalised guidance on the best application method for your skin concerns.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx is suitable for sensitive skin and is designed as a gentler, hydroquinone-free alternative to prescription brightening treatments. However, because it contains AHAs, we recommend starting with less frequent application (every other evening) to allow your skin to adjust, then gradually increasing to nightly use as tolerated. Always perform a patch test before first use and speak to our experts if you have concerns about sensitivity.

Can I use this product during the day?

Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx is specifically formulated for evening use only. The AHA content increases sun sensitivity, making daytime use inappropriate without rigorous sun protection. For daytime brightening, consider Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx paired with broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen. Always use comprehensive sun protection during your course of treatment with any Obagi Nu-Derm products.
