One of the leading manufacturers of prescription-strength skin
care products is Obagi. This company, which is located in Long
Beach, California, has created an entire line of products that can
correct the most common skin disorders.
Obagi was started by Dr. Zein E. Obagi and other leading experts
in the field of dermatology in 1988 under the company name of Obagi
Nu-Derm Products. In 1997, the company name was changed to Obagi
Medical Products with Dr. Obagi serving as Chief Medical Officer as
well as on the Board of Directors until 2006.
The company has focused its attention to creating effective
products to treat skin disorders such as rosacea, photodamage,
hyperpigmentation (freckles, chloasma, and melasma), and acne. They
have a variety of skin system treatments which can be prescribed by
a physician to correct any skin problem that you may have.
Although there are different skin system programs available from
Obagi, they all work on the same basic level. These products work to
accelerate the turnover of old skin cells with new ones.
They penetrate to improve the damage done to the various layers
of skin by factors such as stress, pollution, and the sun. These
lines of products cause the cells in the skin to look healthier and
to act younger. They do this by pushing newly formed cells to the
surface at a faster pace that reduces wrinkles and increases the
skin tolerance to prevent further damage from the elements.
These products can also regulate the pigmentation in the skin to
prevent freckles and age spots. They work to promote more uniform
cell growth and help to increase the skin’s production of collagen
and elastin. The nutrient level in the skin is also increased to
promote healthy hydronation and good circulation in the skin cells.
Obagi products are an effective skin care treatment program that
is available by prescription only. You can discuss with your doctor
certain variants about the condition of your skin to find the Obagi
skin care system that is right for you.
