Obagi Medical Skincare

What is Obagi® Skincare?

The Obagi Medical skincare system is a range of prescription skincare products that protect the skin and help reverse the signs of ageing with powerful and clinically tested ingredients. Popular among aesthetic specialists, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons, Obagi skincare offers an unparalleled combination of potent, active ingredients. 

Obagi Medical is a global pharmaceutical company that has been developing Obagi medical skincare systems for over 30 years. Now available in over 47 countries across North America, Central America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, Obagi is dedicated to providing skin care for all types of skin. Furthermore, Obagi Medical was the first company in the skincare industry to intentionally develop clinical research methodologies, taking into consideration each of the six Fitzpatrick skin types. 

Scientifically developed to improve the appearance of skin damage, hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea, fine lines, and wrinkles, Obagi skincare products contain a unique combination of clinically proven, active ingredients. The best Obagi skincare system for your skin goals should be determined and monitored by a doctor or dermatologist according to your current skin condition and individual preferences. 

Specifically designed as a total skincare system, Obagi skincare products are designed to be used in correlating order. The Obagi skincare system prepares skin pH levels for the active ingredients in the following product to maximise penetration to all skin layers, accelerate cell turnover and leave skin looking smoother and younger.

Where Can I Buy the Obagi Skincare System? 

Obagi skincare systems can not be purchased online and are only available via licensed Obagi providers. If you do find Obagi skincare products for sale online, they may be counterfeit products. You should always locate a clinic using the Clinic Finder on the official Obagi UK site. 

One of the most popular Obagi skincare systems is the Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx system. Suitable for normal, dry, and oily skin, the Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx system comes in prescription strength and non-prescription product ranges.

The Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx system works at the cellular level, penetrating the skin barrier, repairing internal damage, and transforming skin cells. When you first use the products, dead skin cell exfoliation is accelerated, so expect flaking and peeling, revealing fresher, smoother skin. With continued use, your skin will build a tolerance to peeling and flaking. Collagen and elastin production are increased, resulting in supple and firm skin.  Dark spots and hyperpigmentation will begin to reduce, and skin will look brighter and younger.

Why Use Medical Obagi Skincare Products?

Obagi Medical has been creating medical skincare for over 30 years and, through research, develops scientifically-backed skincare formulas with active ingredients. Choosing to focus on prescription skincare, Obagi Medical skincare products can contain higher levels of active ingredients than store-bought skincare products. 

Utilising an Obagi skincare system can be beneficial in numerous ways:

• Improve skin firmness and elasticity 
• Soften fine lines and deep wrinkles
• Reduce the appearance of  hyperpigmentation and age spots
• Brighten the complexion
• Reduce ongoing signs of skin ageing.

Effective skincare routines are one of the easiest ways to reduce the appearance of ageing and maintain youthful and glowing skin. Everyday life constantly exposes your skin to physical abrasion, chemicals, pollution, and radiation from the sun’s rays, which cause damage to the skin. Although our skin can regenerate itself, as we age, reduced cell turnover and production of collagen and elastin results in lost volume, fine lines and wrinkles. 

Additionally, the skin barrier, called the stratum corneum, becomes weaker as you age. Signs of damage to the skin barrier are associated with skin dehydration and the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Skin appears dull, and fine lines and wrinkles become more noticeable. Skin may also start to become thinner, lax, and pigmented.

Non-medical, store-bought skincare products can support your skin by providing moisturising active ingredients that penetrate the top layer of the skin. But as the levels of active ingredients in these skincare products are restricted, they are unlikely to be of any effect when it comes to reversing the damage done at the cellular level. Unlike Obagi Medical skincare products, many of the top skincare brands do not undergo comprehensive clinical trials that prove the results they claim to be able to give you.

If you’re tired of searching for effective skincare products to brighten, nourish, protect, and enhance your skin tone and texture, it might be time to invest in Obagi Medical skin care.
