| Obagi Nu-Derm Skin Care System: |
| The Problem: |
| The skin. It's what people notice about you first, but sadly, it doesn't always make a good first impression. Cosmetics simply "cover-up" the skin problems, but do nothing to repair them. For too long, skin care has been limited to cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Now the solution for moderate to severe skin problems is at hand... |
| The Solution: |
| Modern theory of skin care is to approach the health of the skin the same way as exercising the body. Permanent improvement of the skin and achieving a clear, healthy complexion requires "exercise" in the form of consistent skin correction to remove or suppress surface skin problems, and stimulation to build collagen. Your skin needs to be activated and stimulated daily in order to function and look its best. | ||
| The Obagi Nu-Derm System is a leading program for effectively stimulating and rejuvenating the skin. Obagi combines the best effects of Retin-A, alpha-hydroxy acids, Hydroquinone (a skin bleaching agent), hydrocortisone (an anti-inflammatory agent), and the proprietary ingredient Mikuda Complex 272. This latter ingredient is a unique wetting agent which enhances the action of the other products in the Obagi Nu-Derm System. | ||
| The Obagi Nu-Derm System uses a combination of creams and skin surface medications to obtain its results. The Obagi Nu-Derm System is not a peel; it is a correcting and stimulating process for the skin. The speed of the improvement and the intensity of the process is determined by your skin type, condition, your motivation and lifestyle, and the adjustability of the actual Obagi Nu-Derm Program. |
