Obagi Nuderm vs. Clenziderm - Which is better?

I have used the Obagi Nuderm for six months and ran out. Since then my face has began to break out again. I can't really afford to used the Obagi again and was considerning trying the Clenziderm.

I wasn't sure how much of a difference there is between the two. Which is better?

A: OBAGI Nu-Derm and OBAGI Clenziderm have some similar and some different effects

Tammy Wu, MD

Both systems will help address acne, but they are different systems. With the Nu-Derm system you get the added benefits of hyperpigmentation reduction and anti-aging effects. Clenziderm will mainly just treat acne. The Clenziderm system does not contain hydroquinone products. Background info about CLENZIderm... more

A: it depends for what condition

Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD

Obagi Newderm system addresses pigment, laxity, lines and wrinkles, acne and post acne hyper pigmentation. Clenziderm helps to control acne only. You can decide if Clenziderm will take care of your problem, otherwise consult with your doctor that is familiar with both sys

I am wondering if NuDerm can tighten the skin alittle? Like in the jaw line area, that is just beginning to try and turn jowly. I don't have jowls, per se, but the very beginning. I have no wrinkles, only small nasolabials. No crows feet, no forehead wrinkles. Smooth skin on cheeks and forehead, under eyes and nose all perfect. thank you.
