Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Rx is a prescription-only skin brightening cream containing 4% hydroquinone, one of the most widely recognised ingredients used by clinicians to treat pigmentation concerns.
Hydroquinone works by reducing excess melanin production within the skin, helping to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, melasma and sun-induced pigmentation over time. As a Prescription Only Medicine, Clear Rx is supplied only following assessment by one of our qualified prescribing clinicians and is typically used as part of the Obagi Nu-Derm® Rx System.
Treatment is personalised to your skin concerns and is closely monitored to help achieve the best possible results while maintaining skin health.

For suitable patients, Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Rx remains one of the most established prescription treatments available for uneven skin tone.

Always use Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Rx exactly as directed by your clinician.
It is typically applied once or twice daily to affected areas as part of the Obagi Nu-Derm® Rx System. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips and broken skin.
Daily broad spectrum SPF is essential throughout treatment to help protect the skin and support your results.
Pigmentation can take time to improve, and consistency is key. Prescription hydroquinone should always be used exactly as directed and for the duration recommended by your clinician. Applying more product or using it more frequently will not speed up results and may increase irritation. Daily sunscreen is one of the most important parts of any pigmentation treatment plan and helps maintain the improvements achieved through treatment.
