The promise of healthy skin

MANILA, Philippines - Filipinos have long been in search of a skin care product that truly suits Asian skin. Many of us have invested in skin care regimens made for skin types of those in cooler climates only. Some have subjected their skin to product after product, only to find lackluster results. But since Obagi Medical products have been introduced in the Philippines 10 years ago, many Filipinos have discovered the key to treating skin imperfections and eventually perfecting their skin.

Obagi Medical has been a staple at clinics of hundreds of dermatologists because of the stunning results that its range of products have on patients in the Philippines. With the promise of healthier skin in 6 1/2 weeks, the brand that was once a cult following known and sought-after by a fiercely loyal few, is now widely used by many Filipinos and available nationwide through over 720 affiliated dermatologists and with accompanying professional skin care treatments.

Apart from the fact that the brand is known worldwide as one of the few medical skin care brands suitable for Asian skin, Obagi Medical Products are, more importantly, proven to not only address existing skin problems, but prevent new ones from coming up and promoting healthier skin in the future. Since Obagi Medical has been available in the Philippines, Filipinos everywhere have come to reap the benefits of using Obagi to treat and perfect skin. The brand has changed the face of skin health for men and women everywhere by imparting a simple four-step regimen that really works: Prepare, correct, stimulate and protect.

Nu-Derm System

Modern skin health means treating the skin the same way as exercising the body — it requires consistent skin correction to clear the skin surface of problems like hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne. The Obagi Nu-Derm system is leading program for effectively rejuvenating the skin, and it works by activating skin cells and stimulating renewal daily so skin can function better. It combines the best effects of Retinoic Acid, phytic or alpha-hydroxy acids, arbutin and Saponins Complex 272, which enhances the action of the other products in the Obagi Nu-Derm System. The Obagi Nu-Derm Program’s results are noticeable — skin is visibly smoother, more even toned, and free of blemishes.

Blue Peel

The Obagi Blue Peel is a breakthrough skin peel treatment that is controlled and performed only by Obagi-affiliated dermatologists. It is great for any skin color or skin type and is recommended to those with blemish-prone skin, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage or generally poor skin quality, the Obagi Blue peel exfoliates layers of dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal, allowing the skin’s own clarity and tightness to resurface. Patients are advised to prep their skin with the Obagi Nu-Derm System before undergoing the Obagi Blue Peel procedure, and continuing with the Nu-Derm System after the treatment for best results.

Booster Kits:  Breakthrough skin perfecting systems

With Obagi’s commitment to continuously improve its range of product formulations and combinations, a new set of breakthrough systems will be made available soon to address specific skin conditions. Designed especially to address a wider range of skin issues with six different Booster Kits, Obagi offers Filipinos more skin health options for treating Acne, Melasma, Skin Rejuvenation, Dry Skin as well as combinations of these skin concerns. The Corrective Booster Kit helps repair damage on the surface of the skin, lighten hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone from acne and/or melasma. The Rejuvenating Booster Kit brightens skin, improves texture, and stimulates collagen production for brighter and clearer skin. The Prep-Up Booster Kit uses retinoic acid to clarify skin and stimulate cellular replication and differentiation, assisting cells to function as they should and improve skin texture. The Maintenance Therapy Booster Kit lightens and protects the skin with Sunfader, a skin lightener with SPF 15, a highly protective sunscreen that prevents recurring skin darkening. The Eye Care Booster Kit soothes the delicate skin on the eye area while providing potent antioxidant protection with Pro-C 5 percent, controlling dryness while stimulating collagen and elastin production. The Hydrating Booster Kit normalizes skin’s ph balance, while hydrating skin with Obagi Action, a nourishing cream that rehydrates skin and seals moisture in.

When used as a preparatory regimen, for the Obagi Blue Peel, the booster kits, like Nu-Derm System, and Nu-Derm Décolletage systems, help the Blue Peel yield best results. Obagi Medical products work best together or as specifically directed by trained dermatologists.
