The Advantages

With many other skincare systems you may not know what to expect and often the promised results never come about. However, Obagi NuDerm is different because not only is it clinically tested but it is also recommended by many dermatologists. The products in this system have been shown to improve skin cell reproduction while also protecting the skin from damage.

Another benefit of Obagi NuDerm is the overall improvement in your skin's appearance. Some skincare products only treat a couple of common skin issues. Obagi NuDerm, on the other hand, is capable of reducing wrinkles and fine lines while also treating hyper-pigmentation, skin redness, sun damage, age spots, sun spots and more. In addition, because this skincare routine improves skin cell reproduction it can also help your skin regain a more youthful elasticity. This all-in-one skincare routine will be all your skin needs to look its absolute best.

Often prescription skincare products are not safe for those with sensitive skin or for those with darker skin tones and elevated levels of melanin in their skin. Obagi NuDerm, however, is safe for all skin colors and all skin types. The systems consists of different formulas for each type of skin. Your dermatologist will help decide which system is best for your skin.

The Disadvantages

Although Obagi NuDerm is clinically tested and approved by many dermatologists, it does have disadvantages.
Mainly, because Obagi NuDerm products contain prescription-grade ingredients, you can only obtain the skincare products with a prescription. Obagi NuDerm is not sold over-the-counter at stores, nor is it legitimately sold online. Instead, you must make an appointment with your dermatologist and discuss your reasons for wanting to use these products. For this reason, some may find the process of obtaining Obagi NuDerm not worth the results.

Additionally, Obagi NuDerm does have several possible side effects. You may experience problems such as hypersensitivity to sunlight, irritation, redness of the skin, thinning of the skin, dryness and peeling. More serious side effects include blistering, cracking of the skin or a blue-black darkening of the skin. Allergic reactions are rare, but they do occur. Furthermore, ochronosis, a condition in which black spots form on the skin, has the potential to develop with the use of Obagi NuDerm. This condition is more often seen in people with darker skin tones.

Is Obagi NuDerm Right for You?

In order to avoid possible side effects, it is important to use Obagi NuDerm exactly as your physician prescribed. The system is extremely effective at decreasing signs of aging and improving skin. However, it is crucial that you stick to your prescribed routine and keep in touch with your dermatologist while using Obagi NuDerm to avoid any issues. To find out if these products are right for you, talk to a dermatologist today.
