 Acne is a skin condition that plagues many teenagers and even adults in their 30’s and 40’s. Skin care experts say that acne causes unsightly blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed red growths (papules, pustules, and cysts) to form. These growths are typically called “pimples” or “zits.”
Acne is caused when the pores on your skin become clogged by oil, dirt, debris, and bacteria. Once the pores become blocked, whiteheads or blackheads form. When inflammation is deep within the skin, painful cysts may form. If the clogged pore breaks open under the skin, the bacteria will cause red bumps and swelling to form.
No matter what age you are, acne treatment can be frustrating when you endure repeated unsuccessful attempts of eliminating acne with store bought brands, only to have acne return. Acne suffers everywhere can benefit from the many useful acne products that are available from Dr. Obagi. The Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. products take the frustration out of acne treatment.

If you have truly oily skin, you know it. No matter how often you wash, your T-zone is an oil slick by the end of the day. Your pores are large and visible to the naked eye.
You may or may not have acne- oily skin doesn’t necessarily mean you have acne. There are products that can help control your oil production and keep you looking fresh all day.
Jane Iredale is the premier name in mineral makeup. Her skincare is carried exclusively by doctors and med spas. She has a variety of pure, natural products targeted for oily skin.
Absence is perfect for controlling oil and as a primer. Oil on the skin can change the color of your makeup. Absence keeps your makeup looking like you just applied it. It comes in a sheer finish to control oil and even make pores appear smaller.
To top of your makeup with a flawless finish, use one of her matte powders. Amazing Matte Loose Finish Powder and Pure Matte Finish Powder are brushed on top of foundation.
Made from highly absorbent rice starch, they soak up oil and shine all day. Your skin will have a beautiful matte finish without dryness or dullness.
As summer heat ups, acne sufferers can find they have more breakouts then usual. Acne is caused when dead skin cells build up in the follicle. Trapped oil and bacteria cause inflammation and redness.
Everyone sheds dead cells into the follicle, but some people aren’t able to turn them over as quickly, leading to the plug. Dirt will not cause acne, but bacteria are definitely part of the equation.
If you’re looking for an effective, quick treatment, Obagi Medical’s Clenziderm System can clear up acne in just a few weeks. This three part system uses a cleanser, toner, and treatment.
The first step is a salicylic based cleanser to clean thoroughly and kill bacteria at the same time. Step two is a salicylic toner that feels and smells light and refreshing.
The last step is a benzoyl peroxide serum gel that penetrates deep into the follicle to kill acne bacteria where it lives. The Clenziderm System is unique because the molecule in the benzoyl peroxide is 1/10,000th size of other medications.
Other acne products sit primarily on the skin and not in the follicle. Obagi’s Clenziderm System is quick and easy to follow and gives quick results.

 Dr. Obagi has been on the forefront of skin care for decades. Now he brings his knowledge and experience to the new Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. acne line. Acne is one of the most frustrating conditions people deal with. Most people try many different products with little or no results. Worse, untreated acne can lead to life-long scarring on the face. Finding an acne skin care line that works seems impossible.
So what’s different about this line? Interestingly, it’s not the ingredients but the delivery system that is revolutionary. Benzoyl peroxide has been proven to kill the p. acnes bacteria, which caused breakouts. The reason it hasn’t been very effective is the size of the molecule used. The benzoyl peroxide can’t penetrate and just sits on top of the skin. Clenziderm molecules are 1/10,000th the size of any other benzoyl peroxide treatment! The liquefied benzoyl peroxide penetrated deep into the follicle kills acne at its root.
Use of this acne therapeutic system will show a 52% reduction in acne lesions in just two weeks. By using this system, you’re getting significant improvement in a small amount of time. This can be especially important for teenagers who want to see immediate results. There are two Clenziderm systems, one for oily and one for dry skin. With Clenziderm you can have clearer skin in no time!

 What is the purpose of toners? Is it really necessary to tone your skin? Some people are doubtful about why they should waste their time putting on a toner. There are very valid reasons why toning is a beneficial and important part of your skin care regimen.
One of the things a toner can do for your skin is to keep the skin PH balanced. Healthy skin has a slightly acidic PH of between 4.5 and 5. Toner can keep the skin balanced and preserve the acid mantle that protects skin from pollutants, dirt and bacteria.
Toners prepare the skin to absorb your treatment products more effectively. Toners can also reduce irritation, control oil, kill bacteria, exfoliate, hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin. Obagi Nu-Derm’s Toner is designed to restore the skin’s natural PH. It prepares the skin to receive the active ingredients of the Nu-Derm line more efficiently. This toner is appropriate for all skin types. Ingredients like aloe leaf juice, witch hazel, and sage leaf soothe and nourish the skin.
For those with acne or oily skin, toners can be especially effective. Obagi’s Clenziderm M.D. Pore Therapy has 2% salicylic acid. Salicylic acid kills the p. acnes bacteria that causes breakouts and reduces pore size. Pore Therapy can be used twice daily on the face and other areas of the body prone to blemishes. SkinMedica’s Acne Treatment Toner also contains 2% salicylic. It has ingredients like tea tree and green tea to calm inflammation and reduce redness.
So use your toner, it does more than just clean your skin!

 Obagi ClenziDerm MD Acne Kit Dr. Obagi, creator of the Obagi skincare line, has been at the forefront of skin care research for decades. Now he brings his knowledge and experience to the new Obagi CLENZIderm MD Acne Remedy.
Acne is one of the most frustrating conditions people deal with. Most people try many different products with little or no results while searching for an acne “cure.” Worse, un-treated acne can lead to life-long scarring on the face. Finding an acne skincare line that works has seemed impossible, until now!
So what’s different about the Obagi skincare line? Interestingly, it’s not that ingredients, but the delivery system that is revolutionary. There are three distinct causes of acne p. bacteria. First, dead skin cell build-up, second clogged follicles, and third excess oil production.
Benzoyl peroxide has been proven to kill the p. acne bacteria, which causes acne breakouts. The reason it hasn’t been very effective in most skincare products is the size of the molecule used. Benzoyl Peroxide simply can’t penetrate the bacteria and just sits on top of the skin. Obagi CLENZIderm Benzoyl Peroxide molecules are 1/10,000th the size of any other Benzoyl Peroxide treatment!
Obagi’s liquefied Benzoyl Peroxide penetrates deep into the skin’s follicle and kills the bacteria that causes acne at its root. It is clinically proven to work more effectively than the leading prescription Benzoyl Peroxide products. Obagi CLENZIderm MD uses a simple three-step system so even teenagers will stick to a skin care routine.
Use of this therapeutic Obagi acne system causes a 52% reduction in acne lesions in just two weeks. You get significant improvement in a small amount of time. This can be especially important for those who want to see immediate results when they try a new acne treatment.
Besides the scarring acne leaves behind, acne can also leaves dark spots or hyper pigmentation. Often, these spots will take months to fade. Obagi CLENZIderm MD is designed for use with other Obagi products to treat hyperpigmentation as well as acne. The Obagi Nu-Derm system can be combined with CLENZIderm MD to control acne while lightening dark and red spots while giving your skin an even glowing appearance.
Obagi CLENZIderm MD comes in two different formulations. There is a kit for normal to oily skin and one for normal to dry skin. It is possible to have dry or sensitive skin and still have acne break outs. The normal to dry kit has all the same acne-fighting ingredients but also uses a gentle cleanser and a therapeutic moisturizer. The moisturizer not only rehydrates the skin, but also soothes and calms it. No matter what your skin type, Obagi CLENZIderm MD will keep your acne under control.
