Obagi, a skin care pharmaceutical company, has made headlines with its products for the past 21 years. The company offers a wide variety of skin care solutions for many skin disorders. Obagi confirms that it has over 100,000 licensed physicians that endorse its products to patients in the United States and Europe.
Beginnings
Obagi was started in 1988 by Dr. Zeine Obagi, a dermatologist practicing in California. His personal philosophy regarding skin care is that all skin problems can be attributed to too much sun exposure and air pollutants. He launched his first product, Nu Derm, in 1988; it was marketed as a prescription strength anti-aging topical treatment for wrinkles and sun spots on the face. In 1997, Obagi Medical Products, Inc. was born in Long Beach, California.
Products
Obagi Medical Products manufactures and distributes skin care products for all types of skin disorders, from treating the symptoms of sun damage to minimizing the appearance of freckles to reducing wrinkles and crow's feet. The company offers products for all skin types and textures and for all areas of the body. The patented Penetrating Therapeutics™ technologies are designed to improve penetration of cosmetic and prescription agents in many dermatological procedures and treatments.
Where to Obtain Obagi Products
Obagi products are available only through prescription. They offer direct sales in the United States to dermatology offices, physicians, day spas and other licensed skin care related treatment centers. Obagi is also offered overseas in Europe, Asia, South America, Central America and the Middle East through licensed distributors.
Packaging
Obagi products are packaged as treatment systems with two or more products that work in tandem. These products are meant to be used as a daily skin care routine for optimum benefits. Some treatment systems provide day and night treatments.
Ingredients
Obagi skin care regimens all have a few ingredients in common. Obagi skin products do not contain soaps, as they can dry out the skin. What they do contain is Vitamin C, which serves as an antioxidant; alum, which is a natural astringent; and hydroxy and phylic acids, which act as exfoliants but may leave skin somewhat sensitive to the sun. No matter what the product that your skin care professional prescribes, you are buying from a reputable company with 21 years of satisfactory skin care results and customer service.
