Product Info

Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm – A lightweight daily exfoliating lotion powered by phytic acid that lifts away dull, tired surface cells to reveal brighter, smoother, more even skin — formulated for normal to dry and sensitive skin types.

  • Phytic acid gently exfoliates while delivering antioxidant support
  • Lightweight lotion texture absorbs fast — no grit, no scrub, no manual abrasion
  • Clears the way for the rest of your routine to penetrate more effectively
  • The gentler counterpart to Exfoderm Forte, which uses glycolic and lactic acids for oilier skin
  • Used every morning as Step 4 of the Obagi Nu-Derm System

Who benefits? Ideal for normal to dry, combination, and sensitive skin that wants smoother texture and a brighter look without the sting of a stronger AHA — especially anyone building or maintaining an Obagi Nu-Derm routine.

How to Use

Step 1: Cleanse with Obagi Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser or Foaming Gel.
Step 2: Sweep on Nu-Derm Toner and let it dry.
Step 3: Each morning, apply a thin, even layer of Exfoderm over the face and neck.
Step 4: Follow with your treatment products, then a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid the eye area; if product gets into the eyes, rinse with water right away. Exfoliating acids increase sun sensitivity — wear daily sunscreen and limit sun exposure. Keep out of reach of children. Store out of direct sunlight at controlled room temperature, 15–25°C (59–77°F).

The Gentle Exfoliant

Why You'll Love It

A daily lotion that exfoliates chemically rather than mechanically, so texture smooths and brightness returns without any scrubbing.

Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm 2 oz pump bottle

Phytic Acid, Gently

A plant-derived hydroxy acid that lifts dull surface cells with far less sting than glycolic.

No Scrub Required

Chemical exfoliation means no beads, no grit, and no micro-tears from manual buffing.

Antioxidant Bonus

Phytic acid is also a chelating antioxidant, so it helps defend the skin while it resurfaces.

Better Product Uptake

Clearing away dead cells lets the serums and treatments that follow penetrate more effectively.

Smooth & Brighten

Key Ingredients

Gentle Hydroxy Acid
Phytic Acid

Gentle Hydroxy Acid

Phytic acid is a plant-derived hydroxy acid that loosens dull surface cells while acting as a chelating antioxidant, so skin looks smoother and brighter without harsh scrubbing or the sting of stronger acids.

Glycerin
Moisture Magnet

Glycerin

Glycerin is a humectant that draws water into the skin, offsetting the tightness and dryness that exfoliating acids can otherwise leave behind.

Vitamin E
Antioxidant Support

Vitamin E

Tocopheryl acetate is a stable form of vitamin E that provides antioxidant support and helps keep freshly exfoliated skin feeling comfortable rather than raw.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing, using, and caring for your skin with Purity products.

What's the difference between Exfoderm and Exfoderm Forte?

Exfoderm uses phytic acid and is formulated for normal to dry, combination, and sensitive skin. Exfoderm Forte uses glycolic and lactic acids and is the stronger option built for normal to oily skin. If your skin runs dry or reacts easily, this is the one you want.

Where does this go in my routine?

Morning only. Cleanse, tone, then apply a thin layer of Exfoderm to the face and neck. Follow with your treatment products and finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Within the Obagi Nu-Derm System it is Step 4 of the AM routine.

Can I use it alongside a retinoid or tretinoin?

Yes, and that pairing is how the Nu-Derm System is designed to run: Exfoderm in the morning, retinoid at night. Introduce them one at a time and back off the frequency if skin gets tight or flaky. Check with your provider if you are on prescription-strength tretinoin.

Will it sting or make me peel?

Most people feel nothing at all — phytic acid is notably gentler than glycolic or lactic acid. Some mild dryness in the first week or two is normal as turnover speeds up. Persistent burning or irritation means you should stop and check in with your provider.

How soon will I see a difference, and how long does a bottle last?

Smoother texture usually shows up in two to three weeks, with brightness and tone continuing to improve over six to twelve weeks. Used once daily on the face and neck, the 2 oz bottle typically lasts about two to three months.
