Obagi

Obagi officially began operations under this name in 1997, although the initial product line known as the Obagi Nu-Derm System was introduced in 1988. Since that time, the company has continued to grow, expanding its product line to even more clinically-proven skin systems that can be effectively used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other aesthetic professionals. The company is headquartered in Long Beach, California, but its reputation has now spread across the globe.

Ingredients used in Obagi products are pharmaceutical grade and can address skin issues from pigmentation problems to photo damage. Obagi is known for its development of the Blue Peel, which can be used in conjunction with the Obagi Nu-Derm system to produce a complete skin transformation. This peel utilizes alpha hydroxy acids, which have been proven to exfoliate the skin and promote skin cell renewal. The AHAs can be adjusted in terms of strength to address a host of skin needs.

Obagi offers a line of vitamin C-based products, which have been shown to brighten skin tone and stimulate collagen production for more supple skin. Vitamin C is also an effective antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage and makes the skin look younger for longer.

The Obagi products are sold in systems, ensuring that individuals get the full benefit of its formulas working together for best results. However, customers can also purchase non-prescription products separately through online retailers if they prefer.

One customer favorite is the Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel, which offers the deep cleansing that oily and normal skin types require. Ingredients like Aloe Vera are included in the formula to soothe skin after cleansing and prevent irritation. The Obagi Nu-Derm Toner is designed to be used after the foaming gel to help readjust the skin's pH and allow increased penetration
