Obagi Medical Nu-Derm Blender
$130.00
A deep-penetrating night cream for all skin types that treats discoloration, improves skin texture, and speeds healing from sun damage and acne. Obagi Nu-Derm Blender can be used on its own to treat skin discolorations, scarring, sun damage, and premature aging, or as part of the complete Nu-Derm regimen. It works with all skin types to fade and eliminate dark spots, brown spots, age spots, hyper-pigmentation, freckles and discoloration, allowing a brighter, more even-toned complexion to emerge.
Directions:
Use once per day in the evening, after cleansing and toning. If you’re using Nu-Derm Clear, use Blender afterward, and before any moisturizing cream. Spread a thin, even layer of Blender over your face and neck, avoiding eye area and lips, and smooth or pat cream into skin until it absorbs.
