Description
Obagi Nu-Derm Fx Starter System Normal to Oily brings together the core steps of the hydroquinone-free Obagi Nu-Derm Fx system for normal to oily skin in one set. It is designed as a complete morning and evening routine to help even out and brighten the look of the complexion, and to help improve the look of dark spots, dullness, roughness and fine lines.
The brightening steps use arbutin, a nature-identical brightening ingredient and antioxidant, with vitamins C and E. The exfoliating lotion helps remove dull surface cells. This South African pack excludes the Sun Shield sunscreen, so you will need a separate broad-spectrum SPF every morning.
