Do you want to reset the clock on aging skin? Look no further than Obagi. The skincare line initially got its start in 1988 with the creation of the Obagi Nu-Derm® System, specially formulated to help correct dark spots known as hyperpigmentation. Today, the Obagi brand boasts multiple skincare lines, each of which is specially designed to meet the needs of all skin types, said Kathe Malinowski, lead esthetician and marketing manager for Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Center. The prescription-strength Nu-Derm System uses a specific sequence of dosage and frequency to get rid of the oldest dead cells on the skin’s outermost surface, allowing healthy, new cells to take their place. Active ingredients in the product line include alpha-hydroxy acid, hydroquinone and Retin-A.The Obagi ELASTIderm system, which consists of an eye cream and a serum, strengthens skin by encouraging the production of collagen and elastin.
