Collection: Nu-Derm Products

Yes — all the individual Nu-Derm products are available to purchase from this page. This is primarily intended for existing Nu-Derm users who need to replenish specific products as they run out. If you're new to Nu-Derm, we strongly recommend starting with the complete system through a consultation, as the products are designed to work synergistically and individual products deliver significantly better results when used within the full protocol.

Nu-Derm Fx is the non-prescription version of the system, using arbutin as its primary brightening agent. It's suitable for mild to moderate pigmentation and for long-term maintenance. Obagi advanced-protocol pigmentation system is the advanced-protocol version, containing prescription depigmenting agent — the most effective topical depigmenting agent available — for moderate to severe hyperpigmentation and melasma. The Rx system requires a clinician consultation and prescription. Both systems share the same cleansers, toners, and exfoliants; only the brightening agents differ.

The system is designed so that each product plays a specific role — the cleanser and toner prepare the skin, the exfoliant accelerates cell turnover, the brightening agent targets melanin, and the Advanced-Protocol Retinoid drives deep cellular correction. Removing a step reduces the overall effectiveness of the protocol. That said, your clinician may adjust the protocol based on your skin type and tolerance. We'll advise you during consultation on exactly which products you need and whether any steps can be modified.

A complete Nu-Derm system typically lasts 3–4 months with consistent twice-daily use. Some products — particularly the cleanser, toner, and moisturiser — may run out slightly sooner because they're used more liberally. The brightening agents and exfoliants tend to last the full duration. Most patients complete their initial intensive phase (12–18 weeks) on one system, then transition to maintenance with individual product replenishment as needed.

The transition from active treatment to maintenance is guided by your clinician and typically happens after 12–18 weeks on the full protocol, once your pigmentation has reached the desired level of correction. Maintenance usually involves stepping down from the Rx (prescription depigmenting agent) system to the Fx (arbutin) system, continuing Advanced-Protocol Retinoid at a reduced frequency, and maintaining strict daily SPF. Your clinician will assess your progress and advise on the right time to transition — this is one of the key benefits of having ongoing clinical support.

The Nu-Derm system is formulated to work as a complete protocol, and mixing in products from other brands can interfere with the carefully balanced pH and active concentrations. However, a vitamin C serum (used in the morning before SPF) and a dedicated SPF are commonly added alongside the system. We'd advise against substituting any Nu-Derm step with an alternative product without discussing it with your clinician first, as this can compromise results.
