Obagi - New Year and a New YOU!


Product image of Obagi Nu-Derm System.As you age and your skin incurs the abuse of daily living (such as sun, stress, pollution), the cell turnover rate slows down. This means that the new cells take longer to form and reach the top. The old cells accumulate and stay on the surface longer. As the stratum corneum thickens and the area of new cells shrink, skin becomes less healthy. You begin to notice those unwelcome signs of aging including: fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and age spots, uneven skin tone, loss of elasticity and loss of natural skin hydration.

Benefits of Obagi Nu-Derm

  • Pushes fresher cells to the surface faster, for smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and increased tolerance
  • Corrects current pigmentation (freckles and age spots) and prevents the appearance of new pigmentation
  • Promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, even skin tone
  • Increases collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin
  • Increases nutrient's natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking skin

The Obagi-C™ Rx System

Designed for people with mild to moderate sun damage, this simple prescription-strength System helps your skin to look more radiant and even toned.
The Obagi-C™ Rx System combines the proven benefits of physician-strength Vitamin C with a patented formula of prescription-strength ingredients. This specially formulated combination works to:
  • Correct freckles and age spots caused by sun damage
  • Regulate the production of melanin-producing cells, resulting in even skin tone and radiant skin
  • Enhance collagen production, promoting smoother, brighter skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles
  • Promote radiance, resulting in Photo-lumines skin that emits light you can actually see and measure
Most users report seeing some effects within the first few weeks. They are on their way to brighter, Photolumines™ skin. There may be some initial reactions to the product. As with any skin care product, not everyone is ideally suited for it. The System is a prescription-strength Vitamin C System that can cause some temporary irritation. It also has a sunscreen and alpha hydroxy acids that may cause temporary break outs. These side effects usually go away after a couple of weeks. If there are any persistent side effects, use of the product should be discontinued for a couple of days and then resumed. As always, we recommend that you consult with the doctor at BioDerma to achieve optimal results.
