Obagi Clenziderm : Skincare For Acne Prone

The CLENZIderm M.D.^® system was conceived and brought to market for the treatment of acne and can be used on the face as well as the back or chest. The system contains 3 components: Cleanser, Pore Therapy, and Serum Gel. The system is designed to treat acne deep in the follicle, where the bacteria causing acne reside. The system components are used morning and night. Sun protection is not included in the system, so must be added separately.

You can control the pace of the treatment and comfort level by adjusting the amount of product applied and / or the frequency of application. As with any acne treatment, the purpose is to dry pimples, clean pores, and remove black heads and white heads. Use of the CLENZIderm M.D.^® system will result in the skin feeling dry and irritated. It is normal to experience peeling of skin in the treated area. On the average, it may take 3 - 6 weeks to become accustom to use of the products and see a reduction in acne lesions.

Severe forms of acne may require medical evaluation and additional treatment. Use of CLENZIderm M.D.^® is not a substitution for proper medical care and treatment. To reduce the risk of scarring associated with some forms of acne, it is recommended that you follow up with your medical provider if your acne is severe or leaving marks on your skin.


Treat Acne Where It Starts

The CLENZIderm M.D. Systems are the only prescription-strength acne treatment that contain a patented form of 5% benzoyl peroxide (BPO) to penetrate deep into the skin and treat acne where it starts.

The CLENZIderm M.D. Systems demonstrate greater penetration than other BPO-based treatments.

The solubilized form of 5% BPO in the CLENZIderm M.D. Systems is 1/10,000 the size of any other BPO product available, so it can treat acne where it starts, at the root.
