Product Overview

Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx is a hydroquinone-free treatment to lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Sun damage and hyperpigmentation age the complexion. Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx works to fade dark spots and create a more even skin tone. This hydroquinone-free skin lightener helps minimize imperfections caused by melasma, sun damage, acne and more. The non-prescription formula is gentle, yet effectively works to clarify and brighten skin. Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx also helps promote healthy cell renewal for a more radiant appearance. With continued use, this lightening cream gradually improves the look of blotchy and discolored skin.

  • Minimizes dark spots with 7% arbutin, an extract from the bearberry plant
  • Arbutin works by inhibiting tyrosinase production, an enzyme responsible for dark spots
  • Antioxidants protect skin and prevent future damage
  • The hydroquinone-free formula will not irritate skin

Diminish the appearance of sun damage and dark spots with Obagi Nu-Derm Clear Fx.

*Contains sodium metabisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible people. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low. Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic people.

Best Dark Spot Remover

I have been using Obagi Clear for about two weeks and my uneven spots on my face have almost disappeared. I’ve used this product in the past and in combination with my Obagi sunscreen, I protect my skin all year long. Love this product because it works!

Waiting...

I've tried a lot of products that promise they'll fade my face's dark spots, and haven't found any that have made a discernable difference. Obagi's Clear FX seems better than that, but I haven't used it long enough to make a final judgment. I have use a special soap and vitamin C as well and it seems to work well in my routine. It's definitely not an overnight miracle. Hopefully, time will tell.

Used as part of a kit...

I used this as part of a kit from the dermatologist before it was hydroquinone free. I purchased once in this new version that dosn't need a prescription. It is a good alternative, but I actually like the number 5 from this line better that you mix with trentinion at night.

Clear is always a winner

Been using Obagi line for 25 plus years and I did a major peel at the beginning when you had to go through a doctor and so many compliments on my skin tone and was told it took 10 years off my face. Still using but as maintenance .

Great Product

Obagi New Derm Clear is terrific. I've used it for years! It gradually lightens dark spots and any larger darker areas on my face, neck and hands. I'm 67 and have ZERO spots on my hands or face. I credit this product with those results. You have to use it daily for a month or more to see the results but it's far less expensive than getting laser treatments. I highly recommend it!

Obagi Nu Derm #3

I am a long time Obagi user, and this product is great for fine lines, and for areas of sun damage. I use it every day along with #4 and #5.

Very effective

Very effective at lightening my melasma and any dark spots. I use it only at night as this seems to be enough and I don't really like the texture.

The use of CLEAR

I begin using this product a few years ago. It brighten and smooth my complexion. I use it under ny makeup and it goes on very smooth and gives a beautiful glow to your face. I strongly recommend the usage if you want clear and smooth skin.

Works with consistency.

This is my second bottle of this cream and it definitely lightened the dark spots on my face! Just be consistent with your usage. It's less harsh than other brightening treatments I've tried but still very effective.

Like it so far

I use this on alternating days of retinol to keep working on reducing melasma/dark spots but in a more gentle way (I found this product by searching top medical grade dark spot correctors). So far I feel like I like it, hasn’t caused me to break it. It’s thick but soaks in well. Not sure I’ll buy it again though, I didn’t realize prior to buying it that it had parabens
