Overview
The Obagi Nu-Derm® System is a complete, medical-grade skincare programme designed to do more than maintain your skin — it is designed to change how your skin looks and behaves over time. It is particularly effective for pigmentation, uneven tone, dullness and visible signs of ageing. Because Nu-Derm® includes prescription-only ingredients, it is guided and prescribed by a medical professional at CARA.
How It Works
Nu-Derm® is a structured daily routine, used morning and evening, that typically includes cleansing, exfoliation, targeted treatment products, moisturising support and daily SPF. Your practitioner prescribes the right protocol for your skin and adjusts it as your skin adapts. Most patients experience an early adjustment phase — dryness, redness or flaking — which settles as the skin responds.

Is This Treatment Right for You?
