What is the difference between "Hydrate, facial moisturizer" and "Obagi Nu Derm Action"? They both are moisterizer.

Hello. First time buying the factual moisturizer. I live way way North and Winter really dryes out our skin bought it for Winter months to use together with Obagi Nu Derm Action 3. I have been buying Derma Actio. 3 for a few years and love it. What it does is lighten/reduce dark spots on face from sun damage. I have used many different products and I am a fan of Obagi. For the skin lightening use the Obagi Nu-Derm clear 3.

Of the two I like Hydrate better. To answer your question, NuDerm is more for night use. It feels tighter on the skin than Hydrate. I use Hydrate for day use. If you have ever used egg whites on your face and let it dry, this is what NuDerm feels like. You can use Hydrate both day and night if your prefer only one product.

I also forgot to say. A little goes a long way. Large pea size on finger dab slightly all over face and blend. My bottle lasts about 6 months and I use it daily. I use a clairisonic, next Obagi professional serum 20%, pea size Trentinoin .05% mixed with pea size Nu Derm 3 at night. (Mixed on finger tip). Your skin will feel so clean. I use Nu Derm 3 and hydrate facial moisturizer mixed together on finger. I have used other Obagi products during the day but trying the hydrate for the cold months. I find Obagi a little pricy but it lasts a long time and effective. I guess you didn't need to know all that but trying to be helpful. I also forgot to say. A little goes a long way.

I have never gotten any fake product ordering Obagi through Amazon yet. I still get the clear and the retinol and blender through my doctor though. The cleanser, toner, and exfoliant as well as sunscreen I get here online. Hope that helps.

no one has ever complained to me that the obagi hydrate moisturizer is bad smelling. I have allergies so my olfactory sences are not the best so I have to rely on others, however, I have several friends who use the obagi products and I've never heard anything to indicate it's bad smelling. I personally find Obagi products the best of any. It may be fake but it works well with other obagi products....hope this helps.

Definitely a moisturizer. Use it in lotion, primer, or cconditiner. It's great for hydration and rejuvenation

It is a serum so goes on after cleansing and toning, then moisturizer. I often add oil to dry spots as I live in dry climate. Don't always use makeup, often just concealer, lipstick and mascara. Regardless, Obaji has been great for my skin.

Obagi 3 is wonderful for dark spots and for softening changes in skin tone. It's also great for sun damaged skin. I wouldn't be without it.

when I bought obagi I was told that it works like a recipe for a cake if you are preparing to make a pound cake and leave out the eggs or butter your pound cake will not be the same as mine I used the complete set now for 4 years including tretinon .05 like the doctor's office show me and it worked I saw the difference in 3 months. I quick using it and my skin is not the same so now I stick with it because people has seen the difference of my skin and it shows on the pictures that I seen of myself . I hope this help you , is a little expensive at the beginning but at the end will save you money because you will not need anything else not even make up to cover it imperfections All I use now is blusher and lipstick and I can get ready in 5 min

My apologies for that late response. I honestly can not compare, I haven't used Dr. Adorable or Desert essence before.

All of the Nu Derm line is fabulous for mature skin....you will definitely see impressive improvement. The Luxe is a nice addition for added moister at night. I love it!

The obagi system is usually prescribed by your dermatologist to suit your skin type so I suggest before you purchase any new skincare that you do some extensive research to ensure your not only wasting your money but that you are also giving your skin the correct prescription it needs. Personally I didn't see any improvement to my skin using these products and if anything felt that my skin looked and felt a little dehydrated. I won't be buying this range again.

It's a toner. A relatively thick toner, but you still need moisturizer (lotion or cream) after that. Japanese skin care companies call toner "lotion".

The one I got was obagi, it came sealed exactly the same way as previous ones I have purchased from a physician and is already making a difference, I do also use the foam cleanser as well.

Can't really tell the difference in the effects. I have only used the Super as it contains 4 times more of the oleander extract which I believe to be the most important ingredient. I like the stuff, face feels great. Have not used long enough to comment on the wrinkle reduction, but face looks and feels smoother.

I use Retinol by Obagi on a regular basis. I believe this product is authentic. When I started using it I felt it working within a few days. It feels the same as if I used just the Retinol except it has a moisturizing effect.

I use Hyaluronic Acid because it holds water - plumps skin. I am unsure about Hada Labo. Maybe a Japanese translation??

It is a salt scrub and sounds similar. It rehydrates as well as moiturizing and removing old, rough skin. It's impressive, but not quite as impressive as the Vivo facial peels, which are also scrubs, not masks.
