OBAGI RETINOL

Another hero product, Retinol boosts skin cell turnover, minimising the appearance of uneven skin texture, dark spots or hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles for clearer, healthy-looking skin. Our advice is always to begin with a low strength Retinol and gradually build up, allowing your skin time to get used to this product.

It’s never too early to begin using Retinol to prevent the signs of ageing. Aimed at those in their 20s and 30s, OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 is a low-level retinol cream to help improve complexion and smooth uneven texture. Signs of ageing are minimised, and it prevents future skin damage. It works optimally alongside the other products from the OBAGI360® Range.

For something a little stronger, OBAGI360 Retinol® 1.0 is minimally irritating but formulated with a higher concentration. It also contains wonderfully enriching shea butter, jojoba oil and calming chamomile. This is the perfect product for someone wishing to target fine lines, wrinkles, and prevent future skin damage or for those that wish to have a smoother, brighter complexion.

OBAGI HYDRATORS

Obagi Hydrate® contains advanced Hydromanil™ technology. These molecules form a matrix on the skin’s surface, creating a barrier and enabling them to remain on the cells for longer. Skin is left nourished, whilst further water loss is prevented. Water is held in the layers of the skin, gradually delivering nourishment from active compounds for up to 8 hours.

Obagi Hydrate Luxe® provides ultra-rich, overnight moisturisation in a luxurious balm-like texture. Biomimetic peptides boost skin barrier function and Hydromanil™ technology provides instant and continuous hydration. Don’t just take our word for it. It’s also been clinically proven to provide hydration for up to 8 hours.

Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™ Facial Serum contains key Ingredients Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and rich natural antioxidants, Abyssinian Oil and Hibiscus Oil. The cutting-edge microfluidic Isoplentix™ technology ensures that each droplet is made individually and suspended to preserve their purest forms until the time of application. Omega-9 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids support and maintain the skin’s natural barrier. Phytosterols shield skin from sun damage. Results are long-lasting with skin looking and feeling more youthful and radiant.

OBAGI VITAMIN C

Obagi Professional-C® Serum has been formulated with L-ascorbic Acid. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Obagi Professional-C® Serum penetrates the epidermis and dermis significantly better than most Vitamin C serums. Expect glowing, smoother, more hydrated skin with reduced skin inflammation, irregular pigmentation and minimised signs of ageing.

Obagi Professional-C® Serum should be used alongside our Nu-Derm® Fx products for optimal results. For dry, sensitive skin, we’d recommend starting with the 10% formulation. Our 15% formulation is perfect for most skin types or if you have normal-oily skin, opt for the 20% formulation.
