Unfortunately Obagi Clear can be really difficult to find for sale.

I’ve tried all the major skincare stores like SkincareRX, Spalook, Skinstore…Nada. I did find one bottle for sale at Amazon and you might be able to as well – try this search I did.

If you can get your hands on Obagi Clear consider yourself lucky, this is a great product that works wonders.

The Biggest Downside

The biggest downside is the price. At around $67-$80 (depends on where you buy) it’s pretty pricey for me. But if you’re really looking for a solution that works, this is it. You can easily waste $100 trying out a ton of different stuff that just doesn’t work (I’ve done this a million times, maybe you have too).

I’ve compiled some reviews of Obagi Clear below. Some negative, some positive. Hopefully from these you can get a better idea of whether its for you or not.

Me personally, I really like the way Clear works. It’s certainly one of Obagi’s most popular products and it’s easy to see why. It works very well and I would recommend it if you can stomach the price .

How to Use Obagi Clear

Apply Obagi Clear evenly all over your face right to the hair line. Put it on over and behind your ears as well. Wait a couple mins and then apply another coat over your darkest spots. If you have dark skin you should use Clear on your face just 1 time for every day, in the morning for the best results. Once you get your skin to the way you want it then just use it sparingly, as you need it.

The cheapest price online (when you can find it) would defintely have to be at Amazon. Check the latest prices here:

What Do Other Reviewers Say About Obagi Clear?

MakeUpAlley reviewers give it a 4.3/5 stars overall which isn’t bad at all.

“This stuff really WORKS!!!! It is very expensive but I saw results after only using it twice. I have continued to use it and it has really lightened my hyper-pigmentation. I had spent a lot of money on laser treatments over the past year and they simply did not work. I finally decided to give this a try and wish I would have found out about it sooner. The laser treatment was very expensive and when it was apparent that it was not working the technician upped the laser level and ended up burning my skin. Obagi Clear is the only thing that has worked.”

“The first time I bought this, it did nothing for me and I thought it was a waste of my money. Then I read the tips from you lovely MUAers who recommended using it in combo w/ a Retin-A product (I got some of the cheap stuff from Mexico). So I bought it again. Tadaaaaa, lots and lots of peeling w/ the combo use in the beginning. I was kind of bummed having ‘fluffy’ flaking skin for a while, but I knew the effects needed to be drastic to get results since I had spent hundreds of dollars at dermatologists for zapping/burning w/ only temporary results. The peeling has diminished and I still have age/sun discoloration, but it has lightened a bunch of spots/areas. I feel like I don’t have to use as much foundation. I just ordered more of it through askderm.com because they have a 25% off code of THANKS so it turned out to be $64. It’s cheaper and more convenient than getting zapped at the dermatologist.”

Unfortunately this reviewer thought that Clear meant it was for acne and had a bad experience with it. Just to set the record straight it’s not for acne.

“Looked forward to using this product after the rave reviews here, but unfortunately it had no use in dimishing acne or marks even when used alongside retin A. In some cases i think it might have made it worse.. definitely not worth the price when it does nothing at all.”

BlueStars @ MakeupAlley

“I started using this in conjunction with my photo facials and the results are awesome. I have had comments about how great my skin looks, which has never happened before. Its expensive but well worth it, I will be a lifelong devotee”

Lisa904 @ TotalBeauty

“This product is a miracle. I went to a derm as a last minute resort. A couple years of tanning destroyed my skin, and I’m only 27! I stopped tanning, went to the derm, and she suggested I try this…. I’m on my 3rd month now and I have to say that this works along with SPF 45 daily! I took a photo of the process and the ch…ange is noticeable. If you have age/sun darkened spots or melasma, I strongly suggest you look into this product”

“Using the Obagi line transformed my skin. The Clear is great great, but ber careful not to overuse or you may experience too much lightening effect.”

Obagi Clear – What they Won’t Tell You

Perhaps you have found it odd that finding actual factual information on Obagi Clear is really quite difficult. Of course there are loads of sites that feature before and after pictures and brief one paragraph descriptions of what it does but that’s about it.

Meanwhile, lengthy write ups on competing products are a dime a dozen. All of them for all the products seem to go on and on about what they will do how they will do it and what they contain that does it. So then whats the real story?

The real story is that you don’t have to look to closely to see that the user before and after photos for Obagi Clear are real and un-retouched. The stuff actually does what it’s supposed to do and there is a good reason why.

By the way, it’s also been directly linked to birth defects in unborn children of women who use it while they’re pregnant. So what about possible side effects in adults who use it? Who knows? Those type of determinations can take decades.

So Obagi simply chooses to let their before and after pictures do the talking and if people then want to research beyond that, they can do that on their own. You see Obagi Clear and the results it can deliver is big news in all the blogs, so they don’t need to promote.

So whether you choose to use it or not, is your own personal decision to make but do heed this warning. That is that its makers openly recommend that women who do, use two types of birth control when they do use it, to avoid getting pregnant.

Also understand that those amazing before and after pictures, are of people who followed an exacting regimen. It begins with an exfoliating treatment with Obagi Blue Peel and then progresses through the three strength levels of Obagi Clear.
