About OBAGI-C Rx system C-CLARIFYING SERUM NORMAL TO oily SKIN LIGHTENING SERUM WITH VITAMIN C

What is this medication? The Obagi-C Rx System C-Clarifying Serum for normal to oily skin is a prescription-strength skin lightening treatment designed to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. It contains 4 percent hydroquinone, a potent ingredient that works to fade dark spots, age spots, and melasma by inhibiting the production of melanin in the skin. Additionally, the formula includes 10 percent L-ascorbic acid, which is a pure form of Vitamin C that acts as an antioxidant to neutralize free radicals and promote a brighter, more even skin tone.

This serum is specifically formulated to penetrate the layers of normal to oily skin without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. By combining a lightening agent with a powerful antioxidant, the medication helps to correct existing skin damage while providing protection against further signs of premature aging caused by environmental factors. Regular use as part of a comprehensive skincare regimen results in a clearer complexion and a more youthful, radiant appearance by targeting the underlying causes of skin discoloration.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for OBAGI-C Rx system C-CLARIFYING SERUM NORMAL TO oily SKIN LIGHTENING SERUM WITH VITAMIN C. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Jun 2, 2020

Indications and usage
INDICATIONS AND USAGE The gradual bleaching of hyperpigmented skin conditions such as chloasma, melasma, freckles, senile lentigines, and other unwanted areas of melanin hyperpigmentation.
Dosage and administration
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION A thin application should be applied once or twice daily or as directed by a physician. If no improvement is seen after three (3) months of treatment, use of this product should be discontinued. Sun exposure should be limited by using a sunscreen agent or protective clothing to cover bleached skin when using and after using this product in order to prevent darkening from reoccurring.
Contraindications
CONTRAINDICATIONS People with 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
WARNINGS • Hydroquinone is a skin-bleaching agent, which may produce unwanted cosmetic effects if not used as directed. The physician should be familiar with the contents of this insert before prescribing or dispensing this product. • Test for skin sensitivity before using by applying a small amount to an unbroken patch of skin and check within 24 hours. Minor redness is not a contraindication, but where there is itching or vesicle formation or excessive inflammatory response, the product should be discontinued and a physician consulted. Close patient supervision is recommended. • Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and lips. In case of accidental contact, the patient should rinse thoroughly with water and contact a physician. • Sunscreen use is an essential aspect of hydroquinone therapy because even minimal sunlight exposure sustains melanocytic activity. The Obagi-C ® Rx System C-Therapy Night Cream 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.
Adverse reactions
ADVERSE REACTIONS No systemic adverse reactions have been reported. Occasional hypersensitivity (localized contact dermatitis) may occur, in which case the product should be discontinued and physician notified immediately. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Obagi Medical Products, a division of Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC, at 1-800-321-4576 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Use in pregnancy
Pregnancy Pregnancy Category C Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with topical hydroquinone. It is also not known whether hydroquinone can cause fetal harm when used topically on a pregnant woman or affect reproductive capacity. It is not known to what degree, if any, topical hydroquinone is absorbed systemically. Topical hydroquinone should be used on pregnant women only when clearly indicated.
