Stripped Facial Skin

I bought this because I had tried a sample of the regular Obagi (pink) gel cleanser. This supposedly gentle version (pale yellow) was even more drying and stripping than the regular gel by Obagi. Weird but I couldn't use it after two tries.

Nice cleanser

Overall, this is a nice cleanser. I like both the scent and the texture, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. However, I find that I need to double cleanse to completely remove all of my makeup. My biggest complaint is the packaging. I don't like that I can't see how much product is left in the bottle, and having to unscrew the cap every time I use it is inconvenient. There are other cleansers on the market that are much more user-friendly in terms of design. I might consider purchasing it again if the packaging is improved. I removed one star because of the design, not the product itself.

Gentle cleanser.

Love obagi products. THis is excellent for dry, mature, or healing skin. I am using them. Am very pleased with the Obagi System. Very happy with the results and this cleanser.

Gentle

I have always been pleased with the Obagi products that I have chosen. This cleanser is gentle on my skin and still manages to perfectly remove my makeup. It doesn’t take much, so it lasts a while.

Glowing skin

This leaves my skin soft and glowing. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin like many exfoliants.

Great cleanser

I don’t care for the smell, but to my surprise, it did not cause a reaction in my very sensitive skin. It’s a good, gentle cleanser, nothing fancy. I normally use another cleanser, but it's been out of stock for months now, so this is what I substituted with.

perfect balance

I’ve tried several different gentle facial cleansers over the years, but I always come back to this one. I’ve found that other cleansers, after daily use for several months, either leave my skin feeling dry or too oily. I previously used Obagi’s Nu-Derm Foaming Gel, as well, which I liked, but the Gentle Gel Cleanser #1 takes the cake, always leaving my skin feeling clean, refreshed, and hydrated.

Best cleanser

Best cleanser that I keep coming back to time after time!!! Only complaint is that’s it’s pretty expensive and can only get it on sale!

Gentle on skin

I have tried lots of facial cleaners but this one is the best. It does not dry your clean but cleans all of the day’s dirt & makeup off of the skin.

Obagi Nu-Derm Gentle Gel Cleanser #1

Excellent news cleanser! A little goes a long way. It lathers up nicely with wet hands. It feels gentle on my face and my skin feels soft after every use. I definitely recommend using this product.

Great gentle cleanser

I’ve been using this cleanser as part of the Obagi Nu-Derm system. I have sensitive skin and this gentle cleanser does a great job cleaning my face in the morning, but not stripping it so it feels dry or tight. I use it along with a pre-cleanse at night and it does a great job removing everything from my skin. I will continue to use this cleanser.

love this for years

I'm a fan of most Obagi products - and this is one of my favorites. Highly recommend. I have mature skin (!) and this cleans but doesn't dry.

It IS Gentle

You know it’s gentle when you it doesn’t sting your eyes! This is the only cleanser my daughter uses because it doesn’t irritate her skin.
