OH!-bagi: Skin care that draws raves
MANILA, Philippines – If the name “Obagi” is a virtual household name for those seeking healthy skin, it’s because Obagi has been around for 10 years now. And it’s still going strong.
Healthy skin in 6 1/2 weeks — that is the promise of Obagi. And for a decade now, Obagi has been keeping this promise to Filipinos in search of medical products that are made for Asian skin.
“Obagi” takes its name from Dr. Zein Obagi, the quintessential maverick of dermatology. In the beginning, he merely intended to challenge the norms of conventional skin treatments. In doing so, he shattered the status quo, changed the ways that dermatologists and plastic surgeons treated skin, and managed to expose the risk-adverse culture to new ideas and opportunities. He created products with which all different skin types, especially Asian, Hispanic and African-American skin, can be safely and effectively treated.
In the early ’80s, he created the Obagi Nu-Derm System, a line that has since become the world’s gold standard in medical skin care program for correcting complex problems such as acne, melasma, fine lines, wrinkles and scars. It is used by over 11,000 physicians throughout the world and is the most effective treatment for skin health restoration.
His commitment to making ground-breaking strides in transforming the skin also led him to create a highly controllable TCA-based skin rejuvenation procedure known as the Obagi Blue Peel.
According to its manufacturers, the Blue Peel has no “systemic toxicity, takes little time to perform and can be tolerated without sedation.” It was designed to provide improvement on skin problems and excellent for skin tightening.
Early last year, Obagi Medical Products introduced Clear FX and Blender Fx, the two new brightening creams specially formulated with Arbutin, anti-oxidants and exfoliants to help clarify and enhance uneven skin tone.
In the Philippines, Obagi Medical Products are distributed by House of Obagi, the country’s very own Obagi-based skin health center, and the growing network of affiliated dermatologists. To date, there are 720 Obagi-affiliated dermatologists trained and knowledgeable in Obagi treatments and products. With a potent and effective product like Obagi, and the expertise of its affiliated dermatologists, Obagi Medical Products has gained a continuously growing following of loyal patients.
Now on its 10th year in the Philippines, Obagi Medical Products is treating patients to a special anniversary treat.

Experience the Obagi promise for yourself and see the difference in your skin’s health. For best results, consult your doctor.
