Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel is a gentle, gel-based cleanser in a 2 oz travel size formulated to remove excess oil, makeup, and everyday impurities from normal to oily and sensitive skin.

It’s designed to leave skin feeling refreshed and touchably soft, making it a convenient step in medical-grade skincare routines while on the go.

How does this foaming gel clean without over-drying sensitive skin?

The formula balances effective cleansing with skin comfort by using gentle surfactants alongside humectant and calming agents. Instead of stripping oils, it lifts dirt and makeup while preserving moisture and minimizing irritation.

• Aloe vera to soothe and calm reactive areas
• Gel-to-foam texture that rinses clean without residue

Is the 2 oz size practical for travel and daily use?

This compact tube meets carry-on limits and is sized for short trips or trial use. It’s easy to slip into a toiletry bag, gym kit, or office drawer so you can keep your routine consistent away from home.

• 2 oz (travel-compliant) packaging for air travel
• Sized to last several weeks with twice-daily use
• Leak-resistant cap ideal for tossing into bags

Which skin types will benefit most from this cleanser?

Although formulated for normal to oily skin, the gentle ingredient set makes it appropriate for skin that’s also on the sensitive side. It targets excess surface oil and impurities without aggressive exfoliants or harsh fragrances.
