Reviews For Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx #5 (Hydroquinone-Free Formula)
Great Blender
I bought this at the recommendation of my esthetician to combine with Retinol 1 and I have been very pleased with the combination. My skin is very dry and I’m getting help with brown spots and fine lines without drying out my skin. I’ve been using for only a few weeks but I do see improvement.

Good but…
It’s a good product, gentle on the skin but not as good the Hydroquinone version. That one yields faster and better results

Works but slowly
I’ve used Obagi step #5 product over 10 years with good effect. The healthier change to the product made its dark spot lightening slower but still effective with consistent nightly use. I will be 74 this year and do not have dark spots on face or neck especially in areas (temples, sides of neck) exposed more to the sun. Be patient w/ the product. You will be pleased.

Step 5
Helps skin feel softer...specifically noticeable when comparing top of both hands...the one I consistently use to blend with retinol is much smoother than the other one.

Helpful but not magical
I use this to help control my melasma, and it is a decent non-hydroquinone option. However, nothing beats hydroquinone so using that product is always better, but this is an okay option when taking the necessary breaks between hydroquinone.

A good Obagi product
I have used Obagi for many years and am pleased. I am using the blend to help with some spots on my face. Have not used very long, but it is making a difference.

A product I have used for years!
I combine this product with retinol cream every other night. This regimen really helps to leave my skin glowing, moist and soft. People are often surprised at my age and I have no doubt this product is a major contributor to my great skin.

Great product!
I have used Obagi Nu derm for more than a year, and am very pleased with the results. My skin looks brighter and it has improved the appearance of several dark spots on my face. I will continue to use it.

Will continue using
It's only been a few weeks, so I haven't really seen results yet, but I haven't had any adverse effects. No acne, redness, or dryness. I will continue using with the hopes or some positive changed in my hyperpigmentation.

So is it just me, or does it smell?!?!?
I have to say that I absolutely love this product! I noticed an immediate difference after the second use and my skin is getting lighter. I’m excited about it and will continue to use it. But honestly, does anyone noticed the smell or is it just me? It is like the worst smell ever and I’m wondering if I got a bad batch or if this is normal? I’m crossing my fingers that it’s OK, because it seems to be working for me. Aside from the smell this is a great product so far, I highly recommend it.

Obagi skin products
I've been using this product for four years now and have noticed a definite difference in my skin. People ask what I use for such a clear complexion. My Dermatologist has also highly recommended this product as a healthy and safe regime for everyday use.

Does Help Correct Sun Damage
I used Nu-Derm Blend FX as a part of the Nu-Derm Fx System. I have used it morning and evening for about 6 months. My sun-damaged skin definitely has lightened and brightened using this product along with the other products in the System. The result is healthier and younger-looking skin. It does not seem to have resulted in more refined pores or improved texture. This particular product does not last nearly as long as the other products in the System, so needs to be purchased more frequently than the rest of the System. It also has a slightly unpleasant odor which makes me cough a little. The odor quickly dissipates.

Glad they came out with this product
I have been using Obagi for years. I was told that my skin needed to take a break from the hydroquinone. This is a great product to use as you take a break!

Too soon to tell
Just started using this line again to try to address some resistant dark spots on my cheeks. Prefer arbutin over hydroquinone because it's safer even though probably not as effective. However, just read the arbutin can similarly cause rebound hyperpigmentation. Sigh. Hope this works for me.
