About OBAGI - Nu-Derm® Blend Fx (Arbutin) 57g

In short: The hydroquinone-free evening brightening cream from the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx system. It combines arbutin with vitamins C and E and gentle exfoliating acids to help clarify and even out the look of skin tone. No prescription needed.

Obagi Nu-Derm® Blend Fx (Arbutin) 57g

Nu-Derm Blend Fx is the evening brightening cream of Obagi’s non-prescription Nu-Derm Fx system. In place of hydroquinone it uses arbutin, a nature-identical brightening agent, with antioxidants and an exfoliant to help clarify the skin and reduce the look of uneven tone.

It is a good fit if you want a hydroquinone-free option for dark spots and uneven tone, or if you are taking a break from a prescription pigmentation routine. It is not the same product as prescription Nu-Derm Blender, which contains hydroquinone. Genuine Obagi Medical stock from Obagi’s UK distribution.

Frequently asked questions

Does Nu-Derm Blend Fx contain hydroquinone?

No. It uses arbutin. The prescription Nu-Derm Blender contains hydroquinone and is a different product.

Can I use it with Nu-Derm Clear Fx?

Yes. In the Nu-Derm Fx system, Clear Fx is used morning and evening and Blend Fx in the evening.

Why do I need SPF with it?

It contains an alpha hydroxy acid, which can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily SPF also helps prevent new pigmentation.

Do I need a prescription or consultation?

No. This is a cosmetic Obagi product, so you can add it to your basket and check out as normal.
