Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte | Glycolic and Lactic Acid Exfoliating Lotion

The more intensive exfoliating counterpart to Nu-Derm Exfoderm, formulated for normal to oily skin where a more active glycolic and lactic acid combination is appropriate. Glycolic Acid's smaller molecular weight produces more rapid and more thorough surface exfoliation than Phytic Acid, appropriate for the thicker, more resilient epidermis of normal to oily skin types in active Nu-Derm brightening and transformation programmes. Lactic Acid complements the Glycolic with simultaneous exfoliation and humectant hydration.

A lightweight daily exfoliating lotion that removes old, dull surface skin to reveal a fresher, more radiant complexion, while promoting consistent skin turnover that improves programme outcomes for normal to oily skin in the Nu-Derm system.

Who Is It For?

• Normal to oily skin in Obagi Nu-Derm programmes needing a more intensive daily exfoliating step than Phytic Acid
• Those wanting more thorough daily surface renewal as part of a comprehensive brightening or transformation programme

How Does It Work?

Glycolic Acid, the smallest AHA molecule, penetrates rapidly and dissolves the bonds between accumulated dead surface skin cells for thorough exfoliation and rapid surface renewal. Lactic Acid provides complementary exfoliation with humectant hydration, maintaining skin comfort during daily AHA use. Together they promote consistent daily cellular turnover that reveals a brighter, smoother complexion with every morning application.

Key Ingredients

• Glycolic Acid: The most penetrating AHA for thorough surface exfoliation, skin renewal and improved radiance appropriate for normal to oily skin.
• Lactic Acid: Complementary AHA exfoliation with simultaneous humectant hydration that maintains skin comfort during daily acid use.
