Obagi Skin Treatment
- The Nu-Derm System is the original cornerstone Obagi product. The common problem it addresses is the photodamage caused by the sun. It is designed to change your skin on a cellular level by having deeper penetration than other products. Your old skin will be exfoliated away to reveal younger and more vital skin. In the morning, there are three steps: prepare, correct and protect. In the evening, there are also three steps: prepare, correct and stimulate.
- The Obagi-C Rx System is designed as a preventative measure for skin that looks young now. It is a complete vitamin C skin care regimen for both morning and night. In the morning use the C-Cleansing Gel, C-Clarifying Serum, C-Exfoliating Day Lotion and C-SunGuard SPF 30. In the evening there are only two steps: the C-Cleansing Gel and the C-Therapy Night Cream. All the products infuse vitamin C deep into the skin to keep it looking young and prevent lines and age spots.
- ELASTIderm is an eye cream that Obagi claims really reduces visible fine lines and wrinkles in as little as two weeks. Ingredients include: a bi-mineral complex, malonic acid, blueberry extract and Penetrating Therapeutics. According to their website they promise a 46 percent increase in skin elasticity in nine weeks or less.
- This line of Obagi skin treatment products is designed to treat rosacea. The American Academy of Dermatology and the National Rosacea Society says that rosacea afflicts approximately 14 million Americans but that only 1 million seek treatment. More than half of people with rosacea are not aware that there are treatments available.
There are four products in this Obagi skin treatment regimen. First is a gentle cleanser with the key ingredient of Aloe Barbadensis. Next is the Metronidazol Topical Gel USP, which topically treats the papules and pustules associated with rosacea. The Hydrating Complexion Corrector reduces redness with licorice, lavender, aloe, sea whip and mica. Finally the Skin Balancing Sun Protection SPF 30 protects skin from the sun with zinc and titanium dioxide.
