Obagi Treatments
Beautiful, healthy-looking skin starts with Obagi.
They developed a technology called Penetrating Therapeutics™ which means that Obagi products are designed to improve the penetration of prescription and cosmetic ingredients through the skin barrier so they can work to minimise the effects of premature ageing, skin damage, hyperpigmentation, acne, sun damage, and the signs and symptoms of rosacea.
Because the Obagi treatment programmes and products contain prescription-strength formulations, they are only available through specialist cosmetic clinics and medical professionals. Some of the products contain components such as hydroquinone or tretinoin, which must be prescribed and their use tightly controlled and monitored by a medical professional.
The Obagi Medical Products are marketed as a leader in skin health.

Nu-Derm® SYSTEM
Correct and transform your skin.
Signs of photodamage
and aging:
-
Skin laxity
-
Erythema (Redness)
-
Sallowness (Complexion)
-
Hyperpigmentation (Discoloration)
Your skin is exposed to a large number of environmental stressors on a daily basis, which cause damage that can reach the deepest layers of your skin. Photodamage, caused by the sun's harmful rays, is the main cause of the fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. These are early signs of ageing that you may already or will eventually see on your face. Additionally, collagen and elastin begin to break down, causing the skin to lose resilience resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Daily exposure to UV light then accelerates this aging process and may cause uneven coloring.
The Nu-Derm® System is the physician-dispensed, skin care system that can actually transform your skin at the cellular level. By addressing the signs of photodamage and restoring the healthy function of your skin cells, this system is clinically proven to result in younger- and healthier-looking skin.
How does the Nu-Derm® system transform your skin?
The Nu-Derm® System penetrates below the surface of your skin to transform skin cell functions at the cellular level and correct the damage within.
Using a specific dose and frequency that’s recommended specifically by your skin care professional for your skin condition, the prescription-strength system exfoliates old skin leaving healthy, new skin that looks and acts younger and healthier.
The Obagi Nu-Derm system is a prescription strength skin care range available only via medical professionals and cosmetic clinics. Products are designed to be used in a step-by-step programme and you will be prescribed a specific dose and told how frequently to use it to get the maximum results.
Obagi-C® Systems
Prevent Damage
Maintain young looking skin
With Obagi-C® Systems, you're on your way to healthier, refreshed, revitalised skin from cell to surface. Obagi-C® Systems promote skin rejuvenation from the inside out using specially formulated ingredients, which reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and age spots, combined with 10% L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)—the only topical antioxidant proven to stimulate collagen synthesis and protect your skin by minimising future skin cell damage.
Obagi-C® Systems are ideal for treating:
•Minimal fine lines
•Minimal unevenness of skin tone
•Mild hyperpigmentation and minimal age spots
•Dry, normal, oily, or even sensitive skin
Vitamin C belongs to an important group of antioxidants that fight the free radicals that age your skin. Studies have shown topical Vitamin C, in the most effective form (L-ascorbic acid), can help improve sun protection, repair sun-damaged skin, reduce fine lines, stimulate collagen-building, and potentially reduce discoloration of the skin.
The patented Obagi-C® Systems are complete skin care regimens that proactively correct signs of damage to help restore and maintain healthy, radiant skin. These systems offer the benefits of both prescription-strength hydroquinone and potent Vitamin C in 2 comprehensive packages that are suitable for all skin types, including normal to oily skin and normal to dry skin.
Clinical data show the patented Obagi-C® formulation delivers more L-ascorbic acid into the skin and remains in the skin longer than others....
