Obagi
Clear-
Correct Step
Obagi Clear is the major bleaching and correcting preparation in the
Nu Derm Skin Health Restoration program. It contains 4% hydroquinone
(prescription strength) as the active ingredient in an activating base
to increase its effectiveness. Bleaching with
hydroquinone suppresses the overproduction of melanin.
Clear is to be used twice daily until the expected results have been
achieved. Thereafter, it is to be used as needed to maintain results.
Apply Clear to the entire face, morning and evening, including the eyelids,
extending to the hairline, over the ears and ending with a feathering
motion from the jawline down the neck. Remove any excess amount by the
eyes. A second coat can be applied over darker pigmented lesions.
Note: Patients with dark skin should use Obagi Clear on the entire face
once a day, preferably in the morning and apply at night on the darkest
areas only.
