Frequency: Use twice daily—once in the morning and once in the evening—for optimal results.

Timing: Morning: First step to remove overnight sebum and prepare skin for daytime protection. Evening: Essential to remove makeup, pollutants, and daily impurities.

Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently pat skin dry with a clean towel.

Layering: Follow immediately with Obagi Nu-Derm Toner to restore pH balance, then continue with appropriate treatment products from your skincare routine.

Expert Tips: For best results, ensure face is damp before application. Avoid over-cleansing or using water that is too hot, as this may disrupt the skin's moisture barrier. If using as part of the Nu-Derm® System, follow the prescribed protocol provided by your skincare professional.

FAQ

Q: Can I use Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel if I have sensitive skin?
A: Whilst this cleanser is formulated with soothing botanical extracts, it is specifically designed for normal to oily skin types. If you have sensitive or dry skin, we recommend Obagi Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser as a more suitable alternative. Speak to our experts for personalised guidance on selecting the right cleanser for your skin type.

Q: Will this cleanser dry out my skin?
A: When used as directed on normal to oily skin types, Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel should not cause dryness. The formula includes hydrating ingredients like Glycerin and Aloe Vera to maintain moisture balance. However, if you experience any tightness or discomfort, you may need a gentler formula more suited to your skin type.

Q: How long will one bottle last?
A: With twice-daily use, the 198ml bottle typically lasts 2–3 months, depending on the amount used per application. A small pump (approximately pea-sized amount) is sufficient for cleansing the entire face and neck.

Q: Can I use this cleanser to remove eye makeup?
A: Whilst the formula can remove light eye makeup, we recommend using a dedicated eye makeup remover for waterproof or heavy eye cosmetics. Always avoid direct contact with the eyes during cleansing.

Q: Do I need to use other Nu-Derm products with this cleanser?
A: Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel can be used as a standalone cleanser or as part of the complete Nu-Derm® System. For transformative results addressing hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and texture irregularities, the full system protocol provides optimal benefits. Speak to our experts about whether the complete system is right for your skincare goals.

Q: How quickly will I see results?
A: As a cleanser, you'll notice immediate benefits such as cleaner, refreshed skin and reduced surface oil. Long-term benefits including improved pore appearance and reduced breakout frequency typically become apparent within 4–6 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. When used as part of the complete Nu-Derm® System, comprehensive skin transformation results are generally visible within 12–24 weeks.

Q: Is this product suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
A: This cleanser does not contain ingredients typically contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider or obstetrician before introducing new skincare products during pregnancy or whilst nursing.
