Obagi and How It Works

The name Obagi has become synonymous with effective skin care for one main reason and that is because Obagi skin care products have been clinically proven to be effective. One of the many things that separate Obagi skin treatment products from other skin care products that you may have tried in the past, is that they are available by a doctors prescription only.

Obagi Skin Care - By Prescription Only

This is because, unlike standard skin care or treatment products available over the counter, Obagi skin therapeutic treatment products are actual medicine that work below the skins surface to effect the living tissue or skin cells. This makes a huge difference, because what you see on the surface of your skin is the actual result of cellular activity that transpires in the skins substrate or the underlying skin layers.

As your skin ages its ability to protect itself and rejuvenate new skin cells is diminished and the result is that older skin tends to become thin, blotchy, wrinkled, and scaly. Also, your skin is constantly under assault from a number of different sources including sunlight and even the constant exposure to water and air.

The actual effect of the atmosphere on the skin is often times underestimated but when a band-aid that has been on the skin for a few days is removed the difference in the skin is remarkable. The area that the band-aid has protected for just those few days is remarkable supple and new looking. This is because it has been effectively shielded from the drying and oxidizing effects that the air around you has on your skin.

While other skin care products will have a “band-aid” effect on the surface of the skin that is only temporary, it doesn't address the actual cause of distressed skin. Obagi skin treatment products work below the skins surface on the actual living tissue. Obagi skin treatment products function on a cellular level to enable your skin cells to divide and multiply at an increased rate, resulting in thicker, healthier, and more youthful looking skin.
