Pigmentation
Preventative & Maintenance Treatment
Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx is a skin brightening cream formulated for use at night to clarify and brighten the skin. For all non-sensitive skin types with pigmentation due to superficial and deeper types of hormonal melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Key ingredients include Arbutin 7% which is formulated with a smaller molecule that is able to penetrate into the basal layer to enable a deeper effect on the dermal form of melasma and inhibit tyrosinase activity which stimulates melanin formation.
Dr Webster’s Recommendation: Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx can be used as a preventative and maintenance cream to help reduce pigmentation. For the best results, you should use together with the Clear Fx and Exfoderm or the Exfoderm Forte (depending on your skin type). Always use a high factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen every day and this is especially important if you have pigmentation. Caution: After a week of using the Nu-Derm regimen there will be some lifting of the deep brown pigment and your skin will be darker in the affected areas but this will reduce within a week or two as the treatment takes effect.
I have had pretty bad melasma around my eyes since my early twenties (mid-30s now, no kids), and my dermatologist recently presrcibed me a round of hydroquinone to help lighten the marks. Knowing that I can use hydroquinone for only three months at a time, I wanted a product that I could switch to for longer-term daily use, and Johani from Dermastore recommended that I try Obagi’s Nu-Derm Blend FX.
I was sceptical after reading some reviews about the smell of the product and people complaining that it did nothing for their pigmentation but, after less than two weeks of using this, I can honestly say that the Blend FX cream works way better than even the high-dose hydroquinone did!
I use the Blend FX cream at night in the place of a serum, and in the morning, I apply the Obagi Professional-C 10% Vitamin C serum. My pigmentation is almost completely dissolved, and as a bonus, this cream sommer took care of the odd pimple (and post-inflammatory pigmentation) too!
I experienced very little peeling, no sensitivity (which is saying something, since my skin is sensitive even to plain water!), no dryness; just beautiful, clear, glowing skin. There is definitely a chemical smell, but it is nowhere near as bad as some reviews say it is, and it doesn’t bother me one bit.
NB. I am religious about slathering on a high SPF sunscreen and reapplying throughout the day (spray-on sunscreens are great for reapplying over make-up).
My skin is definitely brighter because people keep on telling me so. Another winner!
