Obagi Nu-Derm Blend Fx is a physician-developed, hydroquinone-free skin brightening and blending cream that targets uneven skin tone, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation using Arbutin — a nature-identical skin brightening agent that inhibits tyrosinase activity to prevent and visibly reduce melanin overproduction. Designed as a gentler, hydroquinone-free alternative within the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx System for patients who require effective brightening without prescription-strength ingredients.

Arbutin is a naturally derived tyrosinase inhibitor that prevents the enzymatic step that converts DOPA to melanin — the root mechanism of dark spot formation — delivering visible brightening without the photosensitization risk of more aggressive depigmentation agents. Lactic Acid (AHA) provides simultaneous exfoliation to accelerate cell turnover and improve the penetration of brightening actives. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant protection and helps repair the skin barrier. Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) adds complementary brightening and collagen-supportive antioxidant activity. TEA-Salicylate delivers mild anti-inflammatory support to reduce redness associated with uneven tone. Contains AHA — use daily SPF to prevent increased sun sensitivity.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Use a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily while using this product and for one week after. Part of the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx System — apply once daily in the evening following toner and Clear Fx. Available at Beauty Riche — authorized Obagi retailer with same-day shipping.
