This ACS Bride wanted to have glowing skin for her wedding day! She had issues with pigmentation, dark spots and skin texture.

A wedding is expensive after all!
What is the Obagi NuDerm System

If you have issues with hyperpigmentation including melasma, age spots or sun spots and freckles then this is the skin care regimen for you. Within a month, you’ll be on your way to younger, healthier-looking skin.
Breaking Down the Steps of the Obagi NuDerm System
The regimen below was specifically formulated to our ACS Bride’s needs:
- Step 1 – Obagi Gentle Face Wash – AM/PM

- Step 2 – Obagi Toner – AM/PM
- This alcohol-free, non-drying toner balances and helps maintain your skin’s natural pH. The Toner removes impurities and dead skin and to prepare the skin for steps 3-8.
- Step 3 – Obagi Clear – AM/PM
- Dark Spot Lightener & Corrector Cream. Uses 4% hydroquinone which is a strong inhibitor of melanin production that has long been established as the most effective ingredient for reducing and potentially eliminating melasma on the skin’s surface. Prescription required.
- Step 4 – Exfoderm Forte – AM only
- This lightweight lotion has glycolic and lactic acids that exfoliates and removes old dull skin while promoting natural skin turnover for a noticeably smoother, brighter complexion.
- Step 5 – Blender – PM only
- Similar product to Clear, but it reaches deeper in the dermis – targeting pigmentation below skin’s surface.

- Helps to keep skin clear and keep fine lines & wrinkles at bay.
