Obagi Nu Derm Skin Care
The key to fighting aging skin isn’t just making skin look younger, you need to make skin act younger. That’s why Obagi Nu-Derm is so effective. It kick starts cellular turnover, encouraging skin cells respond as if they were years younger, which results in fewer wrinkles, more even skin tone, and firmer skin. By using tried and true ingredients like Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Nu-Derm has been proven in clinical studies to be four times more effective than other anti-aging systems. Of course, when you’re embarking on a skin transformation, it’s important to understand the stages your skin will go through.
Stage 1: In the first 6 weeks, damaged skin is replaced by a new layer of healthy skin cells. Expect fading pigmentation, increased flaking and redness, and a temporary worsening of wrinkles and acne.
Stage 2: The production of collagen and elastin will increase. You can expect fewer wrinkles, tightened pores, lightened brown spots, and less redness and flaking.
Stage 3: Your skin will begin to glow and will look and act younger and healthier. You’ll notice firmer and more resilient skin, more even color tone, and a smooth and naturally hydrated complexion.
Obagi Clenziderm Anti-Acne Skin Care
With so many acne systems available today, it’s hard to know which one to choose, but Obagi Clenziderm makes it easy. Its unique liquid form of Benzoyl Peroxide gives you clearer skin in just two weeks.
The problem with other acne systems is that their Benzoyl Peroxide sits on the skin instead getting deep into the pores where the acne-causing bacteria actually live. Clenziderm’s liquefied Benzoyl Peroxide has molecules smaller than any other Benzoyl Peroxide available. It penetrates better than the leading prescriptions, and results in clearer skin faster.
Clenziderm eliminates acne in just three simple steps: Cleanse, Prepare, and Treat. With formulas for normal to dry and normal to oily skin, its products work in harmony with your skin to create a safe environment for tackling your acne.
Obagi Elastiderm Products
Obagi Elastiderm products are specialized for the delicate skin around your eyes and on your chest, use Copper and Zinc to restore elasticity and build collagen in the skin. You’ll see firmer, smoother, and more resilient skin in just two weeks.
To understand why Elastiderm works, it’s important to understand how your skin ages. In your early 20s, your body stops producing elastin, an elastic protein that allows the skin to expand and contract. Sun exposure also contributes to the loss of elastin. And without it, your skin begins to develop fine lines and wrinkles.
The only real way to repair this loss of flexibility is to put back what time has taken away. Elastiderm’s revolutionary bi-mineral complex (Copper Zinc Malonate) is clinically proven to restore youthful elasticity to the skin, as well as much-need support from collagen. It is not a moisturizer. It doesn’t just plump the skin and temporarily hide your problem areas. It actually transforms your skin.
Elastiderm features formulas specialized for your skin. Its eye treatments are available in a gel for oily skin and a cream for dry skin. Its Decolletage System includes a wrinkle reducer and a skin lightener to give you double the effectiveness.
Obagi-C Rx System
If you’re just beginning to see the signs of aging, then Obagi-C Rx is your solution. This early intervention system is designed to help young skin stay young by correcting the early signs of skin damage before they become a problem.
Not sure if your skin is starting to age? Check to see if you have the following warning signs: little freckles on your nose, small brown spots on your cheeks, and fine lines around your mouth, eyes, and on your forehead.
The Obagi-C Rx System is the first and only system offering the benefits of both prescription-strength Hydroquinone and potent Vitamin C in one comprehensive regimen. It’s carefully formulated to give you everything you need to ensure your young skin stays that way.
Obagi-C Rx addresses all the needs of young skin by correcting hyperpigmentation through regulating the production of the cells responsible for pigment in your skin, promoting skin cell turnover through gentle exfoliation to expose more radiant, healthy skin, and preventing future skin cell damage by neutralizing free radicals and protecting the skin from UVA (aging) rays and UVB (burning rays).
Obagi Professional C Skin Care
We know, it’s not fair to have to deal with premature aging from the everyday wear and tear the environment does to your skin. But there is a way to fight it. Obagi Professional-C Serums provide maximum strength antioxidant protection with the power of Vitamin C.
Professional-C Serums use advanced formulas developed and tested by leading Vitamin C experts. They offer maximum daily antioxidant protection and greater penetration than other Vitamin C products. The greater the penetration, the greater the antioxidant benefit to your skin.
What’s so special about Vitamin C? Besides its antioxidant abilities to neutralize free radicals to prevent skin cell damage, professional strength Vitamin C can 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 the skin for a more even tone.
If you’re new with the Obagi Professional C line start with 5% concentration that’s also safe for use around the eyes. Once you’re ready to take a step up, try the 10% or 15% serum (10% is better for dry or sensitive skin). Then, if your skin is stubborn and needs a stronger approach, move up to 20%.
Obagi Cleansers and Toners
The best way to achieve the results you want is to start your skin care regiment properly. With Obagi skin care, it’s essential to use the proper cleanser and toner to prepare your skin for the specialized treatments that follow. With a variety of cleansers and toners formulated for specific skin types and conditions, Obagi makes it easy to find the right cleanser and toner by assigning them to systems.
Obagi Moisturizers and Sunscreens
Obagi skin care products are focused on brightening, clearing, and lightening the skin to obtain the healthiest-looking appearance possible. The majority of skin damage, including fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage occurs from not using a proper sunscreen. Many times the skin can look old and even more damaged than it already is when you don’t use a moisturizer.
When using treatments such as Hydroquinone and Benzoyl Peroxide for hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and acne, your skin is much more susceptible to sun damage. When your skin is exposed to the sun your hyperpigmentation will darken, your acne will inflame, and your aging skin will become drier and have a more leathery appearance.
Moisturization is a vital step in everyone’s skin regimen, no matter what your skin type. Oily, acne-prone skin needs to achieve a balance; otherwise your skin will keep producing excess oil. Dry, aging skin needs nourishment to replenish the hydration lost over the years. With proper use of your skin’s ideal moisturizer, you will notice an increase in firmness and elasticity without a greasy or uncomfortable feel.
Obagi Treatments and Exfoliators
This is what Obagi’s famous for. Its skin care treatments are the products of choice for dermatologists, experts, and millions of customers around the world because of their clinically proven ingredients and their fast results.
Obagi skin care treatments correct damaged skin with prescription strength products that focus on repairing the skin at the cellular level diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, hyperpigmentation, and acne. The treatments are known for their potent formulas of Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Benzoyl Peroxide.
Obagi’s exfoliators put you on the road to repair with products that slough away the dead skin cells that are blocking your renewal efforts. Obagi’s two exfoliators are part of the Nu Derm System. These products are not scrubs, beads, or cleansers, but gels with Alpha Hydroxy Acids that are applied as part of your daily treatment routine to resurface the skin.
