Obagi skin products are prescription-strength skin care systems designed to prevent and improve most common and visible skin disorders. The company’s products are designed to improve penetration of the skin products into the skin to treat common skin conditions in adult skin including melasma, freckles, acne, sun damage and rosacea.
Obagi skin products were created by Dr. Zein Obagi, M.D., in 1988, and are now produced by Obagi Medical Products, Inc., which is a specialty pharmaceutical company headquartered in Long Beach, California. The company sells Obagi skin products through a direct sales force in the United States and internationally in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Because Obagi skin products contain prescription-strength formulas, the products are only available through dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and medical spas.
Obagi skin products are available in several skin care systems: Obagi Professional-C Serums, Obagi Nu-Derm System, Obagi-C Rx System, Obagi CLENZIderm M.D., and Obagi ELASTIderm.
The Obagi Professional-C Serums use stabilized ascorbic acid, which is the only form of Vitamin C that can be effectively absorbed by the skin, to prevent skin damage. The antioxidants in Obagi skin products use Vitamin C to neutralize free radicals in order to prevent skin cell damage, prevent premature signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, protect against future damage, stimulate collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin, and lighten and brighten skin for more even tone. These Obagi skin products offer better daily antioxidant protection and greater penetration than other brands.
The Obagi Nu-Derm System transforms skin at the cellular level so that it looks and acts younger and healthier. As one ages, skin endures daily stresses caused by sun, stress, and pollution, slowing down the skin cell turnover rate and causing fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and age spots, uneven skin tone, loss of elasticity and loss of natural skin hydration. These Obagi skin products cause the cell turnover rate to rise, reducing the signs of aging.
The Obagi-C Rx System combines the proven benefits of stable Physician-strength Vitamin C with a patented formula of prescription-strength ingredients. These Obagi skin products are formulated to reduce the appearance of freckling and age spots caused by sun damage, regulate the production of melanin-producing cells for even-toned skin, and enhance collagen production, causing smooth, clear skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. is a prescription-strength acne treatment system. These Obagi skin products are clinically proven to provide visibly clearer skin as early as 2 weeks and are clinically proven to penetrate more effectively than leading prescription products and produce a clearer complexion in about 2 weeks.
Obagi ELASTIderm is an eye treatment that reduces fine lines and wrinkles and restores the skin’s elasticity. These Obagi skin products replenish the skin’s elastin and build new collagen to make the skin more elastic and stronger, making the skin act as if it were younger.
Whatever one’s skin issues, Obagi skin products are sure to have the right skin system to make one’s skin look and feel its best.
