Trust the original

MANILA, Philippines - With the abundance of skincare lines in the market, it is sometimes difficult to be loyal to just one. Women tend to try out new products but usually end up going back to the skincare regimen that has tried and tested results.

Dermatologists, on the other hand, are reportedly  quite the opposite. Many stay loyal to brands that they have tried themselves, and have truly had positive effects on their patients. Most recommend prescription-strength products. These are potent formulas from years of clinical studies — and are tailored to a particular patient’s needs and skin issues.

Obagi Medical products are prescription-strength skin care products that have been trusted by dermatologists all over the world. Obagi Nu-Derm System, has been around for 25 years and since it was created, its original formula has continued to address a wide range of skin concerns, from pimples to pigmentation to skin aging, and has stood the test of time because it delivers to over 300,000 patients worldwide, earning the trust of over 15,000 dermatologists.

To date, Obagi has continuously launched products to address the varying skin concerns of patients from all over the globe. The new Obagi Hydrate, for example, is a moisturizer with a unique formulation that contains Hydromanil, a technologically advanced ingredient that retains water and gradually delivers moisture to the skin for long-lasting moisture protection. The gentle, hypoallergenic formula also contains natural ingredients such as shea butter, mango butter and avocado to combat dryness without clogging the pores. Hydrate is dermatologist-tested to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing, so you can be sure that it’s been clinically proven to be safe.

Obagi also maintains products that have made patients rave about its effectiveness, such as the PABA-free Obagi Nu-Derm Sunshield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 — an important part of any skin regimen especially during the summer when the sun is harshest on the skin.
