Obagi-C Rx Systems promote skin rejuvenation from the inside out using a formulation of prescription-strength hydroquinone, 4%, which reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, combined with 10% ascorbic acid, a powerful antioxidant known to support and defend the skin against future damage.
INGREDIENTS:
HYDROQUINONE 4%
Strong inhibitor of melanin production that has long been established as the most effective ingredient for reducing and potentially eliminating melasma.
L-ASCORBIC ACID 10%
Known as the purest form of Vitamin C, L-ascorbic Acid helps neutralize free radicals, minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and brighten skin tone.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Obagi-C Rx C-Clarifying Serum (Normal to Oily & Normal to Dry) and C-Therapy Night Cream contains 4% hydroquinone
CONTRAINDICATIONS: People with a prior history of sensitivity or allergic reaction to this product or any of its ingredients should not use it. The safety of topical hydroquinone use during pregnancy or in children (12 years and under) has not been established.
WARNINGS:
- Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, or lips. In case of accidental contact, patient should rinse eyes, nose, mouth, or lips with water and contact physician.
- Sunscreen use is an essential aspect of hydroquinone therapy because even minimal sunlight exposure sustains melanocytic activity.
- Contains sodium metabisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible people. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low. Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic people.
PRECAUTIONS (ALSO SEE WARNINGS):
Treatment should be limited to relatively small areas of the body at one time since some patients experience a transient skin reddening and a mild burning sensation, which does not preclude treatment.
