About this product
Obagi C Day Serum UV is a 4-in-1 daytime UV milk from Obagi that layers serum, emulsion, high-level sun protection (SPF50+ PA++++), and makeup base into one step. Its UV-reactive capsules release vitamin C derivatives as they meet daylight, while additional botanical extracts help support a clear, comfortable-feeling complexion — so morning skincare and sun defense happen in a single swipe.
How to use
- Complete your usual toner/lotion step so skin is prepped.
- Take a pearl-sized amount onto your palm.
- Spread evenly over the entire face, including easy-to-miss areas like the hairline and jaw.
- Use a sufficient amount — applying too little will not deliver the labeled SPF50+ PA++++ protection.
- Follow with makeup as usual; it also functions as a makeup base.
Ingredients
- Ascorbyl Glucoside — a stable vitamin C derivative that supports brightening, antioxidant care.
- Glyceryl Ascorbate — a moisture-friendly vitamin C derivative that helps support skin clarity.
- Tetrahexyldecanoate Ascorbate — an oil-soluble, slow-release vitamin C form carried in UV-reactive capsules that break down under sunlight to deliver vitamin C through the day.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — antioxidant that works alongside vitamin C to help defend skin from environmental stress.
- Centella Asiatica Extract — soothing botanical that supports a calm, comfortable finish.
- Artichoke Leaf Extract & Grapefruit Fruit Extract — plant extracts included for skin-conditioning and radiance support.
- Macadamia Nut Fatty Acid Phytosteryl — emollient that helps the milk-serum spread smoothly and lock in moisture.
FAQ
Is this a medical treatment for existing dark spots?
No — Obagi C Day Serum UV is a cosmetic vitamin C UV emulsion for daily brightening and sun-damage prevention care, not a medical treatment, and it makes no claim to treat or cure any skin condition.
Can I skip separate sunscreen if I use this?
It's formulated to deliver SPF50+ PA++++ on its own, but the brand notes protection depends on using a sufficient amount — apply generously and reapply if you'll be in extended sun.
Can I wear makeup over it?
Yes, it's designed to double as a makeup base/primer step, so foundation or BB cream can go directly on top.
🇺🇸 For US customers
Obagi carries real skincare-and-derm credibility with US shoppers already familiar with the Obagi Medical name — this is ROHTO's Japanese-formulated Obagi C line, distinct from the US clinical Obagi lineup, built around a lighter, cosmetic, daily-wear philosophy. Day Serum UV packs Japanese J-beauty layering logic (serum + emulsion + SPF + makeup base in one) with vitamin C derivatives and SPF50+ PA++++, appealing to the same audience that already reaches for Melano CC and Hada Labo for smart, efficient routines.
