Obagi Medical Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte AHA Exfoliating Lotion, 2 oz — 6% Glycolic + 4% Lactic for Smoother Texture

Obagi Medical Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte is a lightweight AHA lotion (6% glycolic, 4% lactic) designed to gently exfoliate and refine skin texture for a brighter, smoother appearance.

This professional-grade exfoliating lotion combines two alpha-hydroxy acids to encourage surface renewal while maintaining a lightweight feel. The formula targets rough, dull, and uneven skin texture and is presented in a 2-ounce pack that fits easily into daily skincare routines. Use as directed in your Obagi regimen or when advised by a skincare professional to help support a more radiant-looking complexion.

How will this product change my skin’s texture?

Exfoderm Forte works by loosening built-up surface cells so fresher skin can emerge, producing a smoother look and softer feel over time. Regular, recommended use helps reduce visible roughness and uneven texture without heavy residue.

• Contains 6% glycolic acid for effective surface exfoliation
• Includes 4% lactic acid to hydrate while renewing
• Light lotion base absorbs quickly for non-greasy finish
• Clinically formulated to target dull, rough areas

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formulation balances two AHAs to provide renewal with a milder feel than stronger peel products; however, tolerance varies by individual. Start with minimal frequency to assess sensitivity and follow any professional guidance if you have reactive skin.

• Designed for rough, dry, sensitive, and dull skin types
• Start gradually to reduce chance of irritation
• Patch-test first if your skin is reactive
• Follow up with sun protection after use

How should I incorporate Exfoderm Forte into my routine?

Use this product as directed—typically in the evening or as part of a prescribed regimen—after cleansing and before heavier creams or treatments. Pairing with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during daytime is important since AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.

• Apply to clean, dry skin in thin layer as instructed
• Allow absorption before layering other products
• Adjust frequency based on skin response (start slowly)
• Always use daily sun protection when using AHAs

What results and timeframe can I expect?

Visible smoothing and a brighter surface often appear after several weeks of consistent, recommended use; individual results depend on skin condition and adherence to instructions. Use alongside a comprehensive regimen for best overall improvement in tone and texture.

• Noticeable texture changes typically over weeks, not days
• Continued use helps maintain smoother appearance
• Combine with moisturizing and protective steps for balanced skin
• Consult a skincare professional for personalized timelines
