Everyone has skin troubles from time to time, but aging and certain health conditions can cause some people to struggle with their appearance more than others. If you find yourself in this situation, consider the Obagi® skin care line, a system of topical products used to treat the skin from the inside out. Here are some of the benefits people have come to expect from this brand over the years.

Why Use Obagi Skin Care Products?

1. They Treat a Variety of Skin Conditions

Hydroquinone is the main ingredient used in Obagi skin care products, and it works by inhibiting the copper-containing enzyme tyrosinase in the skin so it cannot convert into melanin—the pigment in the skin. This is why dermatologists and other medical professionals prescribe it to treat skin damage caused by health conditions such as acne, rosacea, pemphigus vulgaris, melasma, and chloasma.

2. They’re Incredibly Effective

Over-the-counter creams are allowed to contain up to 2% hydroquinone. Obagi’s medically prescribed skin care products contain 4%, making them a powerful treatment for conditions that cause hyperpigmentation, scars, and photoaging. It works with any skin type, and people tend to start seeing results in just a few months.

3. They Ensure Medical Oversight

Obagi skin care products must be prescribed by a dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon, medical spa, or another physician. Your doctor will recommend one item or the entire line, depending on what they think will help. Under their supervision, you can to determine what’s working and what should be changed. This ensures proper care when using the products to help you to see faster results.
