Obagi-C® Rx Starter System - Normal to Oily

Corrective transformation system with vitamin C

A complete skin care regimen specifically formulated for normal to oily skin with 4% hydroquinone to reduce hyperpigmentation and other key ingredients, such as Vitamin C, to address the appearance of skin ageing.

Obagi-C Rx Systems promote skin rejuvenation from the inside out using a formulation of prescription-strength hydroquinone, 4%, which reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, combined with 10% ascorbic acid, a powerful anti-oxidant known to support and defend the skin against future damage. 

System Includes:

• C-Cleansing Gel (6 FL. OZ.)
• C-Clarifying Serum Normal to Oily* (1 FL. OZ.) Rx ONLY
• C-Therapy Night Cream*† (2 OZ.) Rx Only
• Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (3 OZ.)

† 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 non-asthmatic people.
