Obagi Nu-Derm Toner | Alcohol-Free pH-Balancing Toner

Cleansing temporarily disrupts the skin's natural pH. For active treatment products including hydroquinone, tretinoin and brightening serums to penetrate and perform at their best, the skin's pH needs to be restored before they are applied. Obagi Nu-Derm Toner does this without the dryness and stripping of alcohol-based toners, using Witch Hazel, Aloe and Sage to remove any remaining impurities after cleansing, restore the skin's natural pH, and create the optimal surface environment for the treatment products that follow.

A non-drying, alcohol-free daily toner that is the bridge between cleansing and active treatment in every Obagi Nu-Derm programme.

Who Is It For?

• All patients in Obagi Nu-Derm programmes following the complete protocol
• Anyone wanting to optimise active treatment product penetration and performance through proper pH preparation

How Does It Work?

Witch Hazel removes any residual impurities and excess oil remaining after cleansing without the dryness of alcohol. Aloe provides soothing and hydrating benefit at the preparation step. Sage provides additional purifying and toning activity. The combination restores the skin's natural acidic pH, helping tighten the appearance of pores and prepare the skin surface for maximum active ingredient penetration.

Key Ingredients

• Witch Hazel: Removes residual impurities and helps refine pore appearance without the dryness of alcohol-based toners.
• Aloe: Soothing and hydrating botanical that maintains skin comfort at the preparation step.
• Sage: Additional purifying botanical that complements the Witch Hazel toning activity.

Benefits

How We Use It at Face for Soul

As a pharmacist prescriber, Nu-Derm Toner is the pH preparation step I recommend between cleansing and treatment in every Nu-Derm programme. It is the step that is most often skipped and consistently makes a difference to the performance of the actives that follow.

How to Use

Apply to the entire face with a cotton ball or pad, avoiding the eye area, immediately after cleansing. Do not rinse. Follow immediately with treatment products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I skip the toner?
