Obagi® for Sensitive Skin
Sensitivity can present as inflammation, irritation, bumps, burning or redness. Common skincare ingredients like alcohol, harsh exfoliants, essential oils and fragrance can exacerbate the situation. Instead of calming irritation, they often make the problem far worse. The problem is that many drugstore products contain these very ingredients. If you suffer from sensitive skin, we won’t need to tell you how difficult it is to find suitable skincare products.
Fortunately, Obagi® is a skincare brand that fully understands this dilemma. They have over 30 years of scientific expertise and their transformative products are clinically proven, and dermatologist tested on all of the Fitzpatrick skin types. Allergenicity and irritation form part of the rigorous testing process in this brand’s unmatched efficacy studies.
With a deep understanding of how skin works at a cellular level, the philosophy has always been to support skin health and transform it from within with results that can be seen and felt. What-ever your skin type, Obagi® has a solution for everyone!
The Best Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
Our skin has to contend with all sorts of nasties throughout daily life, including excess oil, impurities, dirt, pollution, and dead skin cells which accumulate on its surface. This debris can be the cause of blocked skin follicles and clog up pores, trap sebum and allow bacteria to penetrate skin. Breakouts, blotchiness, inflammation, and a lacklustre complexion can all be experienced as a result.
The first and arguably, most important step in any skincare routine is cleansing so it’s crucial to use a cleanser that works for your skin type. This is because it will help you achieve optimal results from the follow-on products.
Sensitive skin can be reactive to certain chemicals so milder, gentler ingredients that calm and soothe skin tend to be more suitable. Just because ingredients are gentle though, it doesn’t necessarily prevent them from being able to penetrate deeper down and clear away remaining oil and debris in the dermis.
Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx Gentle Cleanser has an incredibly gentle formulation that effectively removes makeup, oil residue and impurities caused by the everyday environment. It’s the perfect antidote to sensitive skin because it includes natural soothing nourishers like Oat Amino Acids, Aloe, Apricot Kernel Oil, Panthenol, Sage Leaf Extract and Borago Officinalis Extract, plus Glycerin to soothe and hydrate dehydrated skin.
Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx Gentle Cleanser helps you on your way to achieve clear, smooth, bright, and more healthy-looking skin when used as part of Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System.
Obagi® for Skin Care Newbies
Prioritising skincare during your twenties and thirties can set a foundation for a lifetime of beautiful skin by visibly improving skin texture and condition and preventing future signs of ageing. If you’re just starting out on your skincare journey, Obagi® can address your concerns.

The Best Cleanser for Skincare Newbies
Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx Gentle Cleanser is a great product for normal-dry skin. But if you’re experiencing acne, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, which can be a common frustration during the twenties and thirties, then your go-to cleanser is Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.® Daily Care Foaming Cleanser.
This lightweight formulation contains the hero ingredient, 2% Salicylic Acid. It’s a highly effective form of beta hydroxy acid (BHA) which deeply penetrates and unclogs pores by gently exfoliating and dislodging dead skin cells. Another benefit is that Salicylic Acid also improves the absorption and penetration of follow-on products. This Obagi BHA product is most effective in removing dead skin cells and revealing clearer looking skin.
Used regularly, this cleanser will directly target the cause of spots and prevent them from forming in the first place so that skin appears healthy and blemish-free. You’ll also be amazed at how refreshed and cleansed it feels without any of the tightness or dryness often associated with similar products.
For those with sensitivity, Menthol is in there to calm irritated skin and guess what? Salicylic Acid also has calming and soothing properties too! Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.® Daily Care Foaming Cleanser can be used alongside the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System or OBAGI360® System.
