Discover Obagi® At RP Aesthetics
The global skincare market is set to exceed 180 billion US dollars by 2025. It has witnessed a shift in demand in recent years from older to younger consumers, as people bid to prevent premature signs of ageing.
In such a competitive market, companies strive to create the next revolutionary product, with some containing bizarre new ingredients such as snail extract, or ambiguously named concoctions such as ‘secrets of the Aztecs’.
With thousands of products available, choosing the right ones for your skin type or skin concerns can be a challenge. We advise only purchasing products from established and trustworthy companies and avoiding being drawn in by the latest, under-researched skincare fad.
Obagi® develops their products by using an extensive and robust research and development process. With over 30 years of clinically proven results, their range effectively treats an abundance of skin concerns, including acne, hyperpigmentation and ageing.
Richard Peppiatt, the Clinical Director of RP Aesthetics, is the lead Obagi® ambassador in the North East. Many of these products are only available via prescription as they contain medical-grade ingredients, making RP Aesthetics your first stop for healthy, hydrated and youthful-looking skin.
How Can The Obagi® Range Help My Skin?
Ageing
Creams and serums that target signs of ageing have always been popular with the over thirties, however, The Benchmarking Company found that over 50% of 18 – 24 year olds in the USA wanted to introduce anti-wrinkle products into their daily routine.
Obagi’s ELASTIderm® collection uses high-quality ingredients at optimal concentrations to effectively reverse the first signs of ageing. Its patented Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™ promotes three stages of healthy and functional elastin development, which firms and smooths the skin.
Acne
Although primarily associated with our teenage years, acne affects up to 95% of people between 11 – 30 and around 3% of adults over 35. An overproduction of oil causes spots, blackheads and bumps to develop on the face, back and chest, which can cause anxiety and low self-esteem.
The CLENZIderm M.D.® Acne Therapeutic System is a three-step treatment that penetrates deep into the pores and targets acne at the source. The products in the CLENZIderm range contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, which are two principal ingredients in clearing active acne and preventing future breakouts. The addition of menthol helps to calm irritated skin.
Sensitive Skin
Reactions to chemicals, fragrances and dyes are common amongst those with sensitive skin. Choosing products free from these additives reduces the risk of skin inflammation, yet some of the more gentle skincare options are not as effective in fighting the signs of ageing or other concerns.
Dr. Suzan Obagi is considered one of the top cosmetic surgeons in the United States and has written countless articles in peer-reviewed journals on skin health and rejuvenation. In 2013, she partnered with Obagi®, lending her extensive academic and clinical experience to the development of the SUZANOBAGIMD™ line.
Every product in the range is dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic, and created without parabens, dyes and synthetic fragrances. Most importantly, the products’ anti-ageing capabilities are not compromised. A reduction in fine lines and photoageing is achieved whilst being kind to sensitive skin.
Hyperpigmentation And Melasma
Melanin is the pigment that gives our hair and skin its colour. Hyperpigmentation and melasma occur when the body produces excess melanin, resulting in dark patches of skin. Both conditions worsen with high UV exposure, however, melasma is also triggered by hormonal changes, and is sometimes referred to as ‘the mask of pregnancy’.
The Obagi Nu-Derm® System contains 4% hydroquinone, a skin-lightening agent, which addresses dark spots and corrects uneven skin tone. Sun damage can also slow down cell turnover, which can lead to the accumulation of dead skin cells. Nu-Derm® products thoroughly cleanse the pores, revealing luminous, healthy-looking skin.
