Obagi Skin Care Products

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD answers: Can I use Obagi skin care products without a doctor's prescription?

I would like to try obagi products for my bad acne under my chin area. Can I purchase obagi online and start using it? If yes, can you direct me on which product to purchase. Is it wise to use obagi without doctors consultation?

Obagi Medical Products, the parent company of the Obagi Nuderm line has a very thorough website, www.obagi.com, which defines the various skincare lines and the necessity for a prescription.  The Nuderm product line is generally dispensed in a physician's office but there are several products in the line that do not require a prescription, like the Foaming gel, Obagi Toner, and Obagi Exfoderm.
