The Obagi Nu-Derm System Protocol for Use:

This is the standard protocol for the Obagi Nu-Derm Skin Renewal System.

Your skin care specialist can propose a specific protocol for your skin characteristics.

In the instructions below –

the number in parenthesis  ( )  corresponds the number on the Obagi product. This makes the system easy to follow.

 

Phase 1 – Prepare skin by cleansing and toning.

(1) Wash face morning and night with either Obagi Gentle Cleanser for normal / dry skin or with Obagi Foaming Gel Cleanser for normal / oily skin.

(2) Apply Obagi toner morning and night with cotton pad or with a spray bottle.

Phase 2 - Improve skin by repairing surface damage, evening out skin tone and improving brown spots.

(3) Apply Obagi Clear to entire face – feathering to the edges of your face, neck and ears. Apply twice a day – morning and night. Use about a ¼” ribbon when squeezed from the bottle.

(4) Apply Obagi Exfoderm for normal / dry skin or Obagi Exfoderm Forte for normal / oily skin. Apply morning only, after Clear.  Apply evenly to entire face but avoid eye area. Use about a ¼” ribbon when squeezed from the bottle. Wait until cream is absorbed before applying sun protection.

Phase 3 Morning – Protect skin to prevent pre-mature aging of skin from sunrays.

(6) Apply either Obagi Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35 or Step 6 - Obagi Nu-Derm Physical UV Block SPF 32. Apply to entire face and neck. Avoid prolonged sun exposure during first 4 weeks of program.

If you do not want to use the Obagi sunscreens, you can use the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer, Dry-Touch Sunblocks or Neutrogena Age Shield Sunblocks as an alternative. Make sure to use at least SPF 30.

Phase 3 Evening – Stimulate skin layers, elasticity and collagen to renew and transform.

(5) Apply Obagi Blender and Tretinoin. Squeeze a ¼” ribbon of Blender onto the palm of your hand and then mix in the same amount of Tretinoin. Apply to entire face - feathering to the edges of your face, neck and ears. Apply once a day at night.

The Obagi Eye Cream, Action or Tolereen can be used morning and night as needed.

Do all this and you will see major results in 4 to 6 weeks.

The first 6 week exfoliation period is the worst with Obagi. Your face will peel quite a lot with redness and some irritation, but it will be worth if to reveal a fresh, brighter, clearer skin.

The next 6 week exfoliation period will finish a second round of cellular renewal. You will not peel as much and your skin should be getting used to the Obagi process.

 

After the first 6 weeks, we suggest that you add Obagi Professional C Serums to the routine for added anti-aging punch. Apply morning and night after your toner.  Then continue with the rest of your renewal system.

That’s it. You are 6 weeks away from renewed skin.
