Beauty is not a gamble
MANILA, Philippines - Healthy skin, when not credited to good genes, is a product of years of discipline and smart choices. Choosing a dermatologist and skin care brand and sticking with them can be a gamble, though. After all, expert care does not come cheap. While over-the-counter remedies and drugstore finds may have their appeal (inexpensive), investing in a trusted skin care brand like Obagi definitely has its benefits.
Trying an Obagi product that best suits your skin is hardly a gamble. Its products have been formulated based on years of scientific research for the treatment of various skin conditions on different skin types, including Asian skin. Far more potent than commercial skin care brands, Obagi uses expertly blended prescription-strength ingredients that dermatologists all over the world prescribe for a wide range of skin problems.
Because of its potent formulations, dermatologist supervision is important in the proper use of products. This physician-dispensed aspect of Obagi allows dermatologists to tailor the product combinations to suit the specific needs of each patient. By consulting with an affiliated dermatologist, one is assured of getting the product that will work best with one’s skin.
Since 1999, Obagi Medical Products have been providing expertly formulated skin health products, offering a simple yet effective skin care regimen for both men and women. The Obagi Nu-Derm system is a leading program for effectively rejuvenating skin and has since become the world’s gold standard in medical skin care for correcting complex problems like 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.
The Nu-Derm system uses a combination of creams and skin resurfacing medications to achieve skin that is visibly smoother, more even toned and free of blemishes. The program can be used in conjunction with the Obagi Blue Peel, an in-office treatment designed to provide improvement on skin problems and excellent for skin tightening. It is a potent peel that delivers consistent results. It is suitable for all skin types on facial and non-facial skin and is recommended for those with blemish-prone skin, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage or generally poor skin quality.
As part of its commitment to continuously improve its products, as well as develop new formulations that are best suited for Asian skin, Obagi Medical launched the Elastiderm Decolletage System, which improves the healthy appearance of the neck and décolletage area. It also has the Clenziderm System, which is an acne-fighting line, and the Obagi Nu-Derm Clear FX and Blender FX, which are both with Arbutin to brighten and lighten skin. These are welcome additions to the scarce range of products that work with Asian skin, not only treating problems, but promoting overall healthy and improving appearance.
