Obagi Medical Nu-Derm Gentle Facial Cleanser 6.7 fl oz — Hydrating Daily Cleanser for Dry & Sensitive Skin

Obagi Medical Nu-Derm Gentle Facial Cleanser is a mild, hydrating daily face wash that removes dirt, oil, and makeup while preserving skin comfort.

Designed to fit into everyday skincare, this Nu-Derm cleanser uses soothing ingredients to cleanse without stripping moisture. The formulation targets normal to dry and sensitive skin types, rinses clean, and prepares skin for serums and moisturizers. Dermatologist-tested and physician-endorsed, it brings Obagi Medical’s long-standing clinical experience into a gentle daily step.

How will this cleanser feel on sensitive or dry skin?

Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser is formulated to minimize irritation and maintain skin’s natural barrier. Instead of foaming aggressively, it removes impurities with a soft, lotion-like texture that leaves the skin feeling calm and comfortable.

• Mild surfactants chosen for gentle cleansing
• Oat amino acids to soothe and reduce tightness
• Non-drying finish that rinses clean without residue
• Suitable for daily use morning and night

Will it effectively remove makeup and sunscreen?

Yes—this cleanser is formulated to lift everyday makeup, light sunscreen, and surface oils while still being gentle. For heavier or waterproof makeup, follow with a targeted makeup remover first for best results.

• Removes light to moderate makeup and environmental grime
• Rinses clean to help subsequent skincare absorb better
• Compatible with double-cleansing routines when needed
