7 victorias para piel madura para 2022

2021 ha visto muchos de nosotros dar un enfoque a nuestro cuidado de piel en la pandemia de Covid-19. Presos en casa, hemos tenido finalmente tiempo para notar lo que está pasando con nuestra piel y dar más atención a nuestras rutinas, ingredientes, y tendencias.

Universalmente, ha existido una tendencia para el ‘skinimalism’, ¡ya que no teníamos que aplicar maquillaje para estar en el sofá! Pero no aplicar maquillaje significa que queremos tener el rostro limpio, sano, radiante y adema de todo, con apariencia joven. Y con más conocimientos, también nos es más fácil y comprensible gastar más dinero en menos productos de calidad, en vez de entupir nuestros armarios con productos que nunca vamos a utilizar.

Entonces, 2022 nos promete ser un año igualmente interesante, ya que los consumidores piden más de sus productos de piel. Ingredientes que trabajen a un nivel más profundo es una de las tendencias, ¿pero para lo que tienen piel madura, que más puede ayudarte a alcanzar tus objetivos de piel ese año?

Adoptar un abordaje de dentro a fuera

Adoptar un abordaje de dentro a fuera es lo ideal para alcanzar resultados visibles y de largo plazo de productos de cuidado de piel.

Todo está en entender tu tipo de piel, lo que necesita y utilizar ingredientes que puedan penetrar más profundamente en las camadas de la piel para corregir danos que ya estén sostenidos en la piel y prevenir que ocurran otra vez. Solo de eta forma ocurren transformaciones.

SUZANOBAGIMD™ ha formulado una gama de productos con esto en miente, utilizando ingredientes probados clínicamente que van a la raíz del problema y abordan preocupaciones de piel comunes como líneas de expresión y arrugas, textura áspera o desigual, piel apagada, delicada o sensible.

2. Retinaldehyde es tu mejor amigo

Industry insiders are all over this alternative to Retinol and skincare websites and blogs are going into orbit over its properties. If you’ve not heard about it before, Retinaldehyde is another form of Vitamin A that’s directly converted into Retinoic Acid by the skin. Its benefits include improved skin firmness and elasticity and as you’d expect, diminished fine lines, and wrinkles. SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance^®Skin Rejuvenating Complex, incorporates Retinaldehyde within a soothing formulation, that’s perfect for sensitive skin.

3. Un hidratante diario que te da más

Uno de los problemas de tener piel madura es que muchas veces se siente seca y deshidratada. Esto puede causar irritación, sensibilidad, escamas o piel agrietada. Y probablemente has notado que cuando hidratas tu piel, se absorbe toda la humedad casi instantáneamente.

Por eso es vital dar a tu piel hidratación que sea duradera y extra fuerte así como darles atención a las señales de envejecimiento. No solo la renovación celular retarda con la edad llevando a un exceso de células muertas, pero también vuelve la piel apagada. Una crema hidratante que ayuda con la claridad de la piel es esencial, ¿pero es realmente posible encontrar una crema hidratante diaria que haga todas estas cosas? ¡Si, lo es! SUZANOBAGIMD™ Intensive Daily Repair es una loción hidratante formulada para mejorar la claridad de la piel y su textura, así como minimizar líneas de expresión y arrugas. Su superpoder secreto es la inclusión de PHAs (Ácido Polyhydroxy) que exfolian suavemente todas las células muertas para certificarse que otros ingredientes activos, péptidos protectores y antioxidantes, puedan penetrar más profundamente para trabajaren mejor. La piel es reparada diariamente, y la tan importante barrera natural de la piel es protegida. Un producto ganador sin duda.

SUZANOBAGIMD™ Intensive Daily Repair

4. Antioxidantes para protección

Probablemente has oído hablar de antioxidantes, por eso no te vamos a aburrir diciendo cuan de buenos son al defender la piel de los radicales libres, esos átomos inestables que causan daño en la piel. O talvez solo un poco. El punto es que son un ingrediente esencial no importa tu edad, especialmente si quieres mantener tu rostro en condiciones primordiales y prevenir las señales de envejecimiento.

Los productos SUZANOBAGIMD™ aprovechan las propiedades de antioxidantes para proporcionar este efecto crucialmente protector. Por ejemplo, el SUZANOBAGIMD™ Foaming Cleanser utiliza un poderoso trio de antioxidantes, Aloe Polyphenols, Brassica Sulforaphane y Citrus Bioflavonoids. Y esto es solo en el limpiador. ¡Imagínate cuanta protección antioxidante recibirías al utilizar toda la gama de productos SUZANOBAGIMD™!

5. Protector solar es esencial

Sunscreen is hitting the skin care radar big style for most women. It’s for good cause because some might argue it’s the number one way to prevent premature ageing. After all, sun damage is often the worst culprit and, in all honesty, most of us probably haven’t used a daily sunscreen until recently.For broad spectrum daily protection against UVA and UVB rays and a product that leaves a sheer, matte finish, it could only be Obagi Sun Shield ^TM Matte Broad Spectrum SPF50.

6. Cuidado de piel anti inflamatorio

Inflamación es la causa de una multitud de problemas de piel. Desafortunadamente, a la medida que nos tornamos mayores, inflamación en el cuerpo aumenta y todos lo que podamos hacer para contrarrestar eso solo puede ser algo bueno. Claro, podemos cambiar la dieta, ejercicio y gestión de stress para ayudar, ¿pero sabias que también lo puedes incorporar en tu rutina de piel?

Ha habido un cambio definitivo en alejarse de ingredientes agresivos y adoptar los que son más suaves, y que refuerzan la barrera natural de la piel, soportando el microbioma. Los productos de SUZANOBAGIMD™ tienen esto en consideración y son creados cuidadosamente sin parabenos, fragancias sintéticas o tintes. Todos los productos son también testados dermatológicamente, hipoalergénicos, no causan sensibilidad y son adecuados para todos los tipos de piel, incluyendo sensible.

7. Cuidado de la piel en movimiento

Life is busy these days, but you don’t want to compromise your skin’s health because you didn’t have time. SUZANOBAGIMD™ Cleansing Wipes are nifty pre-moistened cleansing and protecting wipes consisting of BioDTox, Suzan’s signature trio of soothing Aloe and protective Broccoli and Citrus Extracts.

Lleva un paquete de estas toallitas contigo para remover maquillaje, suciedad, sudor, exceso de grasas e impuridades cuando no puedes hacer toda tu rutina, como en el gimnasio, spa, hotel o cuando te quedas en casa de amigos.

Summer Skincare Trends You Need To Get Started On Now

If you’re new to the wonderful world of skincare, you might get lost between all the brands, ingredients and skincare products that are on the market. And honestly, we don’t blame you. The amount of available products out there can be overwhelming and truthfully, when you’re not a skincare expert it might be even more difficult to make the right decision. As summer is approaching rapidly, now more than ever is the time to fully prepare your skin for the warmer months ahead. To help you out on this, we have gathered the top five summer skincare trends that you definitely cannot miss out on this summer 2022.

1. Tech & beauty

To start our top five off, let’s talk about the rise of technology within the beauty industry. As we are all aware of, technology is increasing in arguably most areas in life. But in the past few years, many technological beauty products were introduced into the market. Have you seen the facial cleanser devices that every influencer seems to be using these days? They are small, oval-shaped devices with silicone brush nubs that are designed to thoroughly cleanse your face. You simply apply a bit of facial cleanser onto the device, switch it on and it will massage the cleansing gel or foam into your skin. Not only a great feeling, but also a great way to get all of the build-up dirt off your skin!

2. Full skincare systems

Whereas before, you might have whipped on a moisturiser and be done for the day, we are now upping our skincare game. A seven-step skincare routine is no exceptionality these days as people are starting to use full skincare systems. If you’re keen on targeting a specific skincare concern, such as hyperpigmentation or acne, you will find that the most results are achieved when using a full Obagi skincare kit. The products in these kits are formulated to work synergistically, meaning each product is carefully created to work with the products used before and after it.

3. Retinol

If you don’t have a retinol product in your bathroom cabinet yet, it’s time to get this silver bullet. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A that is widely used in skincare products. Retinol belongs to a group of Vitamin A derivatives, known as retinoids. The benefits of retinol products are outstanding, as they have proven to improve your complexion, diminish fine lines and wrinkles and fade acne spots on your skin. As we said, a miracle worker. SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance® Skin Rejuvenating Complex is a retinol cream that has been formulated to minimise the signs of ageing whilst also improving your skin’s overall texture and tone. A must-have for summer 2022, if you ask us.

4. Superfoods for your skin

Wait, this isn’t skincare, it’s about food… Well, technically yes, but a couple of superfoods have actually proven to be effective in treating skincare problems. Our favourite superfood for the skin has to be Vitamin C. Whereas we often see Vitamin C in skincare products, it can also be consumed as food or drinks to improve your skin. Skinade offers collagen drinks that contain Vitamin C to boost your skin’s natural collagen production to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. As you get older, your skin’s collagen production will slow down, which will in time result in signs of ageing. To prevent this from happening or slow down the process, collagen drinks can be consumed. How cool is that?

5. Maskne treatments

Maskne, a word that was born last year, when the pandemic first started to flare up. We have been wearing face masks for over a year now and that has clearly impacted some people’s skin. If you’re struggling with acne breakouts and irritations around your chin from wearing a face mask, we call this Maskne. In 2022, a lot more skincare products are focused on treating Maskne and this will continue to be a trend in summer 2022. Hopefully, Maskne will soon be a skin concern of the past!

Complete Your Obagi Skincare Set With OBAGI360 Retinol

There are so many misconceptions about retinol. It’s only for mature skin. Those with sensitivity shouldn’t use it. Retinol is dangerous and damaging. In fact, none of these statements are accurate. Retinol can be used by those with younger skin. There are of course retinol products which are suitable for sensitive skin and when used correctly, it is neither dangerous or damaging.

This much-hailed miracle ingredient is also one of the most effective anti-ageing treatments available today. And what’s more, the younger you start using it the better. Why? Because you’ll be future-proofing your skin and defending it from the signs of premature ageing.

The Science of Retinol

Despite our innate desire to appear youthful no matter our age, the body’s skin cell turnover slows down the older we get. Collagen and Elastin deplete resulting in a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. The outcome of this natural ageing process is an increase in fine lines, wrinkles, crepiness and dullness. It’s not a great advert for growing old! Of course, on the flipside many wonderful things do happen to us as we mature. Just not to our skin.

The good news is that retinol can counteract the visible effects of ageing. It does this by boosting skin cell turnover, and the knock-on effect is an increase in collagen production within the dermis. By doing so, elasticity is improved, and skin appears more youthful, far smoother and thank the lord, fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet are visibly diminished.

When Should I Use Retinol?

If you’re in a younger age-group, you may not have considered using retinol before. For certain, wrinkles seem a universe away. But you like sunbathing right? And let’s admit it, you’re partial to the odd alcoholic drink. Oh! And before you forget, didn’t you miss a night of sleep recently? Be honest, can you always be bothered to remove your make-up or even moisturise at night and as for your diet….when exactly was the last time you hit your five a day? Or is it seven a day now? The point is that your lifestyle choices may seem inconsequential but environmental factors add up as the years pass by. Over time, skin becomes damaged, and then one day you wake up, and there it is. Your first fine line or wrinkle. It shouldn’t come as a surprise but it always does.

SHOP OBAGI® RETINOIDS

Retinol for Acne and Blemishes

Starting early with retinol minimises those frustrating signs of ageing. Not only that, but it prevents skin damage from happening, keeping your skin looking youthful for longer. The benefits of retinol’s anti-ageing properties are quite evident. But there’s another perk for the younger age-group too. Increased cell turnover also keeps pores clear and reduces acne, blemishes or enlarged pores. After continuous use, skin looks clearer and healthier.

How to Use Retinol

There’s no doubt that retinol is a powerful active ingredient. Subsequently it can take skin a little while to adjust to some retinol products on the market. You might have heard people talking about redness, dryness and some minor irritation.

Obagi® takes skin irritation extremely seriously. So much so, that they have carried out extensive research and conducted skin trials to assess irritation from their retinol products after 3 weeks. For this reason, you should be completely reassured that Obagi® retinol products are minimally irritating.

OBAGI360® System

A comprehensive skincare system will help you to achieve optimal results from your skincare products. That’s because products within a skincare system, have been created to work synergistically and complement one another.

The OBAGI360® system has been specifically formulated for those within the 20-30 age-group, to preserve youthful looking skin. Enlarged pores, acne and blemishes are also common concerns amongst this age-group. Obagi360® tackles all of these common concerns, leaving skin fresh, purified and all importantly, clearer.

SHOP OBAGI360® SYSTEM

If you’re already using the OBAGI360® system, it’s definitely time to consider adding retinol to your repertoire. Our advice is to begin with a low strength product and gradually build up. This allows your skin time to get used to it. OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 is the perfect complement to anyone using the OBAGI360® system and it can also be used as a starter product if you’ve never used retinol before.

This low-level retinol cream helps improve complexion and smooths uneven texture. With consistent use, skin looks clearer, with less blemishes and of course, as with all retinol products, more youthful. Set a foundation in place now for a lifetime of beautiful skin and reap the benefits of retinol now, tomorrow and in the future.

Easy DIY Skincare Hacks For Clear Skin In Just a Few Weeks

Like everyone else, we’re all trying to find new ways to improve and make our skincare routine easier. Whether you’re a long term sufferer of acne, trying to fight the signs of ageing, or even just trying to maintain that flawless, clear skin look, these DIY skincare hacks are accessible for just about anybody and they really do make a difference.

It’s likely that you’re going through a varied range of products trying to keep the blemishes and spots at bay, but it’s also highly likely that you’re not laying the simplest foundations that will fit alongside your routine to really help you in the long run.

Although currently there’s no magic method to completely clear your skin in one swoop, there are so many little things you can be doing to help the process and get the clear skin results you desire. Here are a few tips to get you started…

1. CHECK YOUR PILLOWCASE

Changing your pillowcase once a week is not only a top beauty secret but also common prevention from breakouts. Pillowcases are known to hang onto dirt, oil and bacteria from our faces and hair while we’re sleeping, and without proper care of your pillowcases cleanliness, this forms a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause acne.

If you want to take this hack a little further, think about switching for a silk pillowcase. Opting for a silk pillowcase is a fantastic way to help your skin maintain moisture. To ensure your skin is getting enough moisture and hydration, try going that bit further and adding Obagi Hydrate® into your routine for instant and all-day hydration maintaining soft, smooth skin.

2. KEEP YOUR HANDS CLEAN

The amount of times we touch our faces every day without even realising is astonishing! But very normal. Keep your hands as clean as possible throughout the day to avoid rubbing any dirt on your face area. Our face is a warm home for bacteria and as we carry so much on our hands, we need to make sure we’re not making that connection from our hands to our face without a thorough clean!

3. GENTLE SOAPS

You’re probably wondering why all the products you’ve tried thus far haven’t worked. Truth is, some skin types don’t react very well to harsh soaps that contain a lot of fragrance. Your skin is crying out for a gentle cleanser! So here’s the answer – Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Gentle Cleanser. This cleanser will effectively remove makeup, oil residue and everyday impurities caused by our environment.

Buy Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Gentle Cleanser

4. LOSE THE MAKEUP

Taking a couple of days each week to go makeup-free will give your face the relief it’s been asking for. At the moment, we’re staying at home a bit more than usual and that’s a great opportunity to give your skin a breather from heavy layers of makeup.

5. STAY HYDRATED

It’s the age-old solution that really does make the world of difference. Drinking plenty of water will hydrate your skin and keep you looking clear-faced and fresh. Other benefits for the skin that come with drinking lots of water include faster healing, prevention of premature ageing, improved skin tone by flushing out toxins and overall balancing your pH level.

To push this tip a little further, try adding garnishings like mint, lemon or ginger to your water. This acts as a fantastic source of vitamin c as well as antioxidants into your diet which will be a great benefit to your skin.

With these tips strapped into your belt, watch the results come thick and fast.

7 Spring Skincare Tips For Oily Skin

With the temperatures finally rising again, spring is upon us. Most people look forward to spring all winter long as the sun is out, the flowers start to bloom and it’s finally not that cold anymore. However, your skin might be less excited for a change of seasons and will require some time to fully adapt. When the weather switches from cold to warm, your skin might start to get a lot more greasy and oily. Is your skin typically oily already? Then you might find yourself wicking away excess moisture from your skin all day long, not a nice feeling. We have assembled a list of seven spring skincare tips specifically targeted for oily skin.

1. CLEANSE YOUR SKIN TWICE A DAY

Do you wash your face only once a day or perhaps less frequently? Cleansing your skin regularly is extremely important, especially when your skin is naturally oily, as it helps to remove excess oil and dirt. If you don’t cleanse regularly, your pores will likely get clogged quicker and you will experience more frequent breakouts. Oily skin is more prone to acne which means regular cleansing is a requirement. By using the Obagi CLENZIderm Daily Care Foaming Cleanser both in the morning and evening, dead skin cells will be removed from your face and excess oil is washed away, which can help with the prevention of spots and skin blemishes. Because the cleanser uses Salicylic Acid as a type of BHA, it’s very effective in revealing clearer skin.

Buy Obagi Clenziderm Foaming Cleanser

2. USE AN EXFOLIATOR FOR OILY SKIN

Exfoliating the skin helps to remove dead skin cells and promotes skin cell turnover which will leave you with new, brighter, more radiant skin. If you have oily skin, it’s important to find an exfoliator that matches your skin type. The Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Exfoderm® Forte is a must-have for all those with oily skin.

This is an exfoliant that has been specially formulated to target Normal to Oily skin. Using alpha hydroxy acids Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid, Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Exfoderm® Forte helps diminish dark spots, sun spots and other signs of skin ageing. Use this two to three times a week on oily skin to get a maximum effect.

Buy Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Exfoderm® Forte

3. USE PRODUCTS THAT BATTLE ACNE

If your skin is oily, it will be more prone to acne and breakouts. For that reason, you should tune your skincare routine based on your skin type. For oily skin, this means you will want to use skincare with active ingredients such as salicylic acid which is brilliant at unclogging blocked pores, preventing blemishes. The Obagi CLENZIderm Daily Care Foaming Cleanser includes 2% Salicylic Acid, dissolving dead skin cells and improving the absorption and penetration of following key ingredients. .

4. WEEKLY FACE MASKS

Face masks work wonders for oily skin as they help to hydrate the skin and balance skin oils at the same time. By applying a face mask on a weekly basis, your skin will balance out the oils which will make the skin appear less oily. Besides, a face mask always helps us to relax more, so why not dedicate an entire evening to selfcare? The Professional-C® Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask is a fantastic at home facial treatment with 30% Vitamin C for instant skin radiance!

5. DON’T WEAR TOO MUCH MAKEUP

Wearing too much makeup on a daily basis contributes to the clogging of pores and the buildup of excess oil on the skin. Instead of wearing a full layer of foundation, try using a concealer on the spots you need some extra coverage. Whenever possible, give your skin room to breathe by cleansing your face and getting rid of the leftover makeup from the day. One very important rule: always remove your makeup before going to bed. Even after a night out!

6. HYDRATE YOUR SKIN

Even though your first reaction might be to cut a moisturiser from your daily skincare routine, oily skin still needs to be hydrated. In fact, cutting out a moisturiser will cause your skin to start producing more oil to compensate. To help regulate oil production, opt for a light moisturiser that won’t clog your pores such as the Obagi Hydrate® or New Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™ Moisturisers with a higher water content are best for oily skin.

Buy Obagi Hydrate®

7. DRINK LOTS OF WATER

Last but certainly not least, it’s important to drink at least five to six glasses of water every single day. Not only is water healthy and essential but it also helps to get rid of toxins from your body and reduce the greasy look of oily skin. An easy, natural and free way for people with oily skin to reduce the amount of moisture on their skin.

Do You Have Sensitive Skin? Here’s How To Find Out

Whenever you’re buying a new beauty product, whether that’s skincare or makeup, you will have to consider what skin type you have. The beauty market has largely expanded in recent years and that has resulted in a wide range of different products, targeting different skin types and tones. When buying skincare products, it is important to fully understand your skin type and the way your skin reacts to certain products or ingredients. Using the wrong product for your skin type can affect your skin in a negative way and of course, that’s something we wouldn’t want to happen. In this blog, we will run you through six signs that will tell you that you have sensitive skin.

1. YOUR SKIN REACTS QUICKLY

If your skin is sensitive, you will notice that it reacts very quickly to products that are applied. This doesn’t necessarily have to be skincare products only, you might experience a reaction on your skin from simply washing your hands with soap. Harsh ingredients in skincare products are not a great match with sensitive skin and will likely cause redness and irritation.

2. BAD WEATHER IMPACTS YOUR SKIN

Not only may products have an impact on sensitive skin, but bad weather can also cause your skin to react. Cold, windy days are not your friend if your skin is sensitive, especially for people suffering from Rosacea. The bad weather can cause flushing via agitated, swollen blood vessels which can be painful and uncomfortable. When sensitive skin is inflamed, it’s best to apply soothing products that contain Calendula, Chamomile or Aloe Vera.

3. YOUR SKIN SHOWS REDNESS

Blotchy, inflamed skin is a well-known issue for people with sensitive skin. Whether your redness shows up naturally as a reaction to certain situations or is caused by the usage of certain ingredients, if your skin flushes red easily, this is probably a sign you have sensitive skin. Redness takes form in multiple ways, such as red rash, red bumps, blushing and flushing, or even red dilated blood vessels.

4. DRY PATCHES

Dry skin and sensitive skin go hand-in-hand. Dryness and irritation of the skin are signs of eczema, a skin condition that makes your skin red and itchy. Depending on the severity of your dryness and possible eczema, you can decide between different types of hydrators. The Obagi Hydrate® is a moisturiser that provides all-day hydration and keeps the skin hydrated for up to eight hours. It’s the perfect product for sensitive skin as it contains no harsh ingredients.

5. YOUR SKIN BREAKS OUT EASILY

Next, if you’re struggling with regular breakouts this might be caused by your sensitive skin. Dry, sensitive skin produces extra oils to compensate for the lack of moisture in the skin. This causes clogged pores that will result in more breakouts. To avoid breakouts when you have sensitive skin, you can use a gentle exfoliator to thoroughly clean your face twice a day. This will get rid of excess oil and dirt on your skin, leaving it clean and smooth. Obagi CLENZIderm Foaming Cleanser, including Salicylic Acid asa type of BHA, has been specially formulated for normal to dry skin and effectively removes makeup, oil residue and impurities.

6. YOUR SKIN IS PRONE TO SUNBURNS

With sensitive skin comes increased sensitivity to UV rays that are caused by direct exposure to the sun. People with sensitive skin are more likely to sunburn and sunburn way quicker than people without sensitive skin. Is your skin already irritated or peeling before going into the sun? Be extra careful then, as the sun will have harmful effects on your skin. Whenever you’re going out, whether this is in winter or summer, you should wear sunscreen at all times. Preferably, with sensitive skin, you should wear SPF30 or higher daily. If you don’t want to stack layer on to layer, a 2-in-1 moisturiser and sunscreen combination will work best for you, such as the OBAGI360 Hydrafactor® SPF30. Does your skin need more protection? The Obagi Sun Shield Matte™ Broad Spectrum SPF50 will be your perfect match.

What is a Cleanser And How Should You Use It In A Skincare Routine?

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CLEANSING?

Cleansing is a crucial step in achieving optimum results from your skincare routine. Throughout the day and night, excess oil, impurities, bacteria and dirt accumulate on skin. These can cause a blockage of skin follicles and clog up pores, trapping sebum and allowing bacteria to penetrate the skin. It’s this that can cause breakouts, blotchiness, inflammation and a lacklustre complexion. Cleansing should be part of your morning and evening skincare routine to prevent this from happening.

A great cleanser lifts away superficial debris consisting of make-up, dirt, dead skin cells, pollutants and sunscreen. Even better, an active cleanser will penetrate deeply, clearing away excess oil and debris in the dermis. After use, skin is left thoroughly cleansed and is ready to absorb other products for maximum efficiency. Not just that, but cleansers with active ingredients can also target specific skincare concerns, including brightening skin, hydration and minimising the signs of ageing!

HOW SHOULD I USE A CLEANSER IN MY SKINCARE ROUTINE?

It’s important to make the most of your face cleansing routine by using the right cleanser. These Obagi Skin Transformation Systems include a suitable cleanser for each skin type.

Additionally, Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.® Daily Care Foaming Cleanser has been formulated for problematic skin, helping to calm inflammation and reduce breakouts.

Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® has been formulated to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and helps to clarify and brighten the skin. Update your skincare routine now and you will have radiant skin by summertime!

What is Obagi Nu-Derm Fx®?

If you struggle with hyperpigmentation and are constantly wishing for clearer skin, then you should definitely keep reading. Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System is a skincare range consisting of seven extraordinary products that all help to transform your skin into a better version of itself. That sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? The Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx products have been carefully formulated to suit the needs of those with age spots, discolouration and skin texture. By using the complete system as a part of your skincare regimen, you will notice your skin transform within only a few months. 96% of patients using the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System were very satisfied with the results and 91% even experienced a noticeable improvement in the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

What active ingredients are used in Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System?

It is not without reason that the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System has proven to be so effective for patients with all skin types. The system uses a combination of ingredients that help to improve the skin. The absolute key ingredient in the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System is 7% Arbutin, which is a natural and effective skin-brightening agent. 7% Arbutin is known to slow down the process of producing dark spots and sunspots which will leave your skin looking smooth, clean and youthful. Due to the usage of 7% Arbutin in Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® products, the system has proven to be effective in diminishing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is often caused by exposure to UV light radiating from the sun, which causes damage to the skin. Hence why we recommend using sunscreen or a moisturiser with SPF on a daily basis, during summer but also during the winter.

Besides 7% Arbutin, the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System uses Aloe Vera, Amino Acids, Glycerin, Lactic Acid, Phytic Acid (AHA) and Witch Hazel in its products to support the overall purpose of creating clear, bright skin.
