OBAGI (3) Nu-derm 3 fx Clear 57g

Each gram of Obagi Nu-Derm Clear contains the following ingredients.

Active Ingredient: Hydroquinone, USP 4% (40 mg/g)

Pigmentation. Normal, combination and oily skins.

WARNINGS: Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, or lips. In case of accidental contact, patient should rinse eyes, nose, mouth, or lips with water and contact physician.

Sunscreen use is an essential aspect of hydroquinone therapy because even minimal sunlight exposure sustains melanocytic activity.

Contains sodium metabisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible people. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low. Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic people.

PRECAUTIONS (ALSO SEE WARNINGS): Treatment should be limited to relatively small areas of the body at one time since some patients experience a transient skin reddening and a mild burning sensation, which does not preclude treatment.

Pregnancy Category C: Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with topical hydroquinone. It is also not known whether hydroquinone can cause foetal harm when used topically on a pregnant woman or affect reproductive capacity. It is not known to what degree, if any, topical hydroquinone is absorbed systemically. Topical hydroquinone should be used on pregnant women only when clearly indicated.

Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether topical hydroquinone is absorbed or excreted in human milk. Caution is advised when topical hydroquinone is used by a nursing mother.

Use of the product should be discontinued if hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients is noted.

Use daily, in the morning and evening. Squeeze a small amount (approximately 1-2 pea-size amounts) onto your hand.

Apply evenly to the entire face, extending to the hairline, over the ears, and ending with a feathering motion, or as directed by your specialist.

If no improvement is seen after three (3) months of treatment, use of this product should be discontinued.
