Obagi Medical Nu-Derm Foaming Gel Cleanser, 2 oz Travel Size — Gel-to-Foam for Normal to Oily & Sensitive Skin

Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel is a gentle, gel-based cleanser formulated to remove oil, makeup, and impurities while keeping normal to oily and sensitive skin feeling clean and comfortable.

This compact 2 oz travel-size bottle delivers the same professional-grade cleansing action found in Obagi Medical’s Nu-Derm line in a convenient format for carry-on bags and gym kits. The lightweight gel lathers to lift away excess sebum and daily grime without stripping the skin, and its calming ingredients help reduce surface irritation commonly associated with frequent cleansing. Ideal for morning and evening use, this formula is part of a physician-endorsed skincare system that supports clearer, fresher-looking skin.

How does this gel cleanser work for oily or combination skin?

The foaming gel removes excess oil and surface debris to leave a refreshed feeling without tightness or residue. Its gel base converts into a soft foam that cleans pores and preps skin for subsequent treatments.

• Gel-to-foam texture that breaks down oils and makeup
• Formulated for normal to oily and sensitive skin types
• Rinses clean without leaving a film or causing dryness

Will this irritate sensitive skin?

Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel includes soothing agents such as oat amino acids and aloe vera to help minimize irritation from cleansing. The gentle surfactants are chosen to be effective yet mild, making the product suitable for those who need a calmer cleansing option.

• Oat amino acids to help soothe and condition skin
• Aloe vera for calming and hydration support
• Dermatologist-tested formulation designed for tolerance

Is the travel size effective for short trips or trialing the product?

The 2 oz bottle is a practical travel essential and a low-commitment way to test how your skin responds to the Nu-Derm cleansing step. It’s TSA-compliant and fits easily into toiletry bags while providing enough product for multiple uses.

• 2 oz volume is airline-friendly and portable
• Provides several days’ worth of cleansing depending on frequency
• Great for travel, gym bags, or trialing the Nu-Derm system

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Use the foaming gel as the first step in morning and evening routines to clear impurities before applying serums or moisturizers. A small amount creates sufficient foam; massage gently and rinse thoroughly to prepare skin for next steps.

• Apply to damp skin, lather, then rinse with lukewarm water
• Follow with targeted Nu-Derm treatments or a hydrating moisturizer
• Use twice daily for consistent cleansing benefits

Who is this for: Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel travel size is tailored for anyone with normal to oily or sensitive skin who wants a dependable, physician-endorsed cleanser on the go. It suits travelers, gym-goers, and those new to medical-grade skincare seeking a gentle but effective cleansing step that pairs well with corrective and maintenance products from the Obagi Nu-Derm collection.
