Will I pay customs or import fees?
US orders: No. As of July 1, 2026, all US orders ship DDP (duties delivered prepaid), meaning we prepay all import duties on our end. Nothing is due at your door.

We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
A long time ago (before the line was renewed), I first bought Obagi with this line's travel kit. I took the kit with me on a hot spring trip with a female friend and lent her the cleanser. She said, "What is this cleanser? It's amazing!" and gave it such rave reviews. Of course, I also liked the feel of it, so for a while I bought it just to use the whole line. I remembered this for the first time in a while and bought it, but then I thought, "Wait, was this the scent?" When I tried it, it wasn't as impressive as before, it was neither good nor bad... It wasn't an emotional reunion. I wonder if it has changed since the renewal, and it's such a shame.
It's a rich oil. When you blend it into your makeup, it sticks to your skin, but you have to rinse it off a lot to remove it completely. However, it does remove makeup well, and my skin feels soft and supple after washing. However, it has a strange scent that's hard to describe. I always feel a strange sensation when I put it on my face. I think people's tastes will probably be divided on this scent.

This is my first time buying this product. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and removes makeup well, but the strong scent is the reason I won't be buying it again. I use a variety of cosmetics, but I really don't like this scent >_<
