Overview

Obagi Medical's cleansing gel comes in a 6 fluid ounce bottle, formulated with aloe vera and vitamin C, and is marketed for dermatology use rather than as a general drugstore cleanser.

The listing targets skin showing hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, or sun damage across normal to oily and normal to dry skin types, positioning it as a clarifying step that also lifts makeup and everyday buildup. It carries a rank of 148 in facial cleansing gels and is described with brightening and protecting benefits alongside its cleansing role.

  • 6 fluid ounce bottle
  • Aloe vera and vitamin C
  • Lavender scent
  • Dermatology recommended use

Who it's for

Works for people managing uneven tone or sun damage who want a cleanser doing double duty as a light makeup remover. Not the right fit for anyone wanting a fragrance free option, since it carries a lavender scent.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Formulated with aloe vera and vitamin C
  • Removes makeup and excess oil while cleansing
  • Targets hyperpigmentation and uneven tone
  • Gluten free formula
What to check first
  • Contains lavender scent, not fragrance free
  • Listing data mixes cream and gel descriptions

Performance notes

Vitamin C is included for its brightening role while aloe vera supports the gel's soothing side as it lifts makeup, oil, and daily impurities from the skin. The gluten free formulation is a manufacturing note rather than a skin benefit for most users.
