Obagi Retinol Products Provide Skin Protection and Rejuvenation

Obagi retinol products are designed to enhance the appearance of a person's skin. They accomplish this by bringing out the elements within the body that naturally make the skin look younger and smoother.

The appearance of the skin is affected by many factors, including exposure to the sun, dry climate conditions and the natural aging process. Products from Obagi can prevent and even reverse these effects, in the process reducing wrinkles, age spots and acne. Other products available on the market attempt to remove wrinkles by essentially stretching the skin, usually with only limited success. Products from Obagi stimulate the production of collagen, which is key to skin rejuvenation.

The Obagi-C RX system combines prescription-strength hydroquinone with vitamin C, which is known to synthesize collagen. This product is ideal for those with less serious skin problems, such as the early stages of fine lines, unevenness in skin tone or mild cases of pigmentation. It can be used on those whose skin is considered normal, dry or oily. The Obagi-C RX C-exfoliating system is a lotion that can create smooth and radiant skin. It does this by accelerating the removal of epidermal cells while at the same time moisturizing and protecting the skin. Its vitamin ingredients can help repair the skin from the effects of sunlight, smoking, alcohol consumption and even stress.

Other products are designed to supplement certain treatments within the Obagi system. Obagi-C cleansing gel does this through the use of aloe and other antioxidants. System C therapy night cream is enriched with vitamins, making it useful in lightening areas of the skin affected by age spots, freckles and other anomalies. System C clarifying serum has the capability of penetrating deep into the layers of the skin with the specific purpose of increasing the production of collagen. In terms of preventive products, Obagi offers a sun protection factor (SPF) 30 sun guard that can protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet rays and give the user a natural glow.

Obagi retinol products cover the gamut when it comes to skin protection and rejuvenation. However, those who consider using them should always consult with a dermatologist to determine what products are best for them.
