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?
