Key Ingredients
ARBUTIN
Obagi Nuderm Blend FX contains 7% arbutin, a natural plant extract, which inhibits the action of an enzyme called tyrosinase that is involved in the production of melanin. This mechanism of action, therefore, reduces the production of melanin in the skin, keeping the skin lighter and looking fresher.
VITAMIN C
Also called ascorbic acid, vitamin C has strong antioxidant properties that help combat the visible signs of UV skin damage. In addition, the presence of vitamin C plays a vital role in the cream’s promotion of collagen production in the skin, which is responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
VITAMIN E
Acting in a similar way to vitamin C, vitamin E is an extremely powerful antioxidant that works to keep your skin looking young, bright and healthy with its free-radical inhibiting properties. The presence of antioxidants in this facial cream protects your skin and reduces the visible signs of ageing, including fine lines and wrinkles.
