Obagi® System

Obagi prescription skin care system accelerates skin cell turnover for supple, healthy-looking skin

As skin ages, it loses the ability to properly renew itself. The Obagi Nu-Derm® System is a prescription strength skin care system that is physician monitored to accelerate skin cell turnover so that it looks and acts younger and healthier.

The Obagi System includes four prescription-grade products that work together to transform your skin at the cellular level. Experience this transformation in four phases:

Dead cell exfoliation called "Out with the Old" inspires flaking and peeling to reveal fresh, smooth skin.
During the second phase called "In with the New," your skin will begin to build tolerance to peeling and flaking as Obagi goes to work at a cellular level to continually transform skin cells.
In the third phase, "Healthy Glow," collagen and elastin increase production and your skin will feel supple and resilient while uneven pigmentation begins to even out.
"The New You," the fourth phase, is maintenance in which you keep your skin looking and acting younger and healthier.

Obagi System skin care products are prescription strength formulations regulated by the U.S. FDA and can only be sold with a prescription through a physician, such as a Plastic Surgeon. On By comparison, retail products, called "Cosmeceuticals," do not correct skin cells, but instead mask surface damaged skin for a temporary period. As with all prescription-grade products, specific precautions should be taken before and during the use of Obagi System products. Your doctor will discuss these with you during your initial consultation.

Obagi® Nu-Derm

Obagi Nu-Derm © accelerates cellular turnover for skin with moderate to severe sun damage. Age and the daily abuse of sun, stress and pollution cause your skin cells" turnover rate to slow down. New cells take longer to form and reach the surface resulting in tell-tale signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and uneven skin tone and dryness.

How it Works
The Obagi Nu-Derm System is a physician-prescribed skin care system that accelerates skin cell turnover, promoting healthier, younger-looking skin. It penetrates deeply to improve the skin's cellular function, triggering a Theraputic CascadeT of actions:

Fresh cells are pushed to the surface faster for smoother, more damage-resistant skin.
Freckles and age spots are reduced and further appearance of new pigmentation is diminished.
Deep cells form more uniformly for better skin structure and balanced, more even skin tone.
Collagen and elastin formation is increased, resulting in more resilient looking skin.
Natural circulation and hydration are increased for more supple skin.

Obagi-C™ Rx System

For brighter skin in patients with mild to moderate sun damage, this first and only prescription-strength Vitamin C skin care system, Obagi-C™ Rx, delivers brighter, more radiant and even-toned skin. Vitamin C belongs to an important group of antioxidants which fight the free radicals that age your skin. Studies have shown topical Vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid (its most effective form), can help improve sun protection, repair sun damaged skin, reduce fine lines, stimulate collagen building and potentially reduce discoloration of the skin. While many Vitamin C products simply moisturize the skin's surface, the Obagi-C Rx System penetrates to all layers of the skin, effectively delivering more Vitamin C to your skin than other brands.

How it Works
The Obagi-C Rx System combines the proven benefits of prescription-strength Vitamin C with a patented formula of ingredients. This special combination works to:

Reduce the appearance of freckles and age spots caused by sun damage.
Regulate the production of melanin-producing cells for brighter, more radiant skin.
Enhance collagen production, promoting smoother, brighter skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles
Promote a radiant, luminescent glow to your skin.

Professional-C Serums

Potent Vitamin C serums for maximum daily antioxidant protection, Obagi Professional-C Serums protect your skin from daily exposure to the sun's damaging rays and environmental conditions that cause premature aging. Visible signs of aging, those fine lines and wrinkles, are caused by tiny molecules known as free radicals-molecules that dramatically multiply with exposure to sun, air pollution and other environmental assaults, ravaging skin cells and breaking down collagen.

How it Works
Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals to prevent skin cell damage. Professional strength Vitamin C can give your skin the protection it needs to:

Prevent premature signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles.
Protect against future damage.
Stimulate collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin.
Lighten and brighten skin for more even tone.

Obagi Professional-C Serums offer maximum daily antioxidant protection that's up to two times greater than other Vitamin C products on the market. The greater the penetration-as in Obagi products-the greater the antioxidant benefit to your skin.

Obagi Professional-C Serums use stabilized ascorbic acid, the only form of Vitamin C that can be effectively absorbed by the skin. Developed and tested by leading Vitamin C experts, Obagi's four different concentrations of Vitamin C offer optimal, individualized treatment. Ask your physician which level of Vitamin C best suits your skin type:

20% for the highest concentration of L-Ascorbic acid
15% for all skin types
10% for dry, sensitive or reactive skin
5% protects the sensitive eye area.
