Now that your skin is looking fantastic, you can bring things to another level by using products that complement the Obagi Nu-Derm System. Elastiderm Eye Cream or Gel is a unique product that actually stimulates elastin production around the eyes.
Elastin is what gives skin its tautness and “snapback”. Skin will tighten and fine lines and puffiness will disappear!
Elastiderm Décolletage System is designed to repair the often neglected chest and neck area. This two part system lightens age spots and sun damage while removing those annoying little lines we start to get as we age.
The Decolletage System is easy and quick to use. Just two pumps of each product in the morning and at night will revitalize and renew your skin.
To keep aging at bay, a C serum is essential. Obagi’s Professional C Serums contain stabilized Vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant.
Antioxidants kill free radicals that cause aging of the skin. Vitamin C also brings down redness, inflammation, and is excellent for rosacea patients. Collagen production is stimulated resulting in plumper, firmer skin. Skin appears brighter and more even toned.

The final step in the Obagi Nu-Derm System is to protect your healthy, new skin. Obagi offers a range of sunscreens to fit your needs. Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35 is a silky; light chemical block that protects with 9% zinc oxide.
Physical UV Block SPF 32 is a physical block that contains a high percentage of zinc oxide- 18.5%. Physical is a good choice for those in sunny climates or who are exposed often to the sun, such as sports enthusiasts.
Sunfader is a good choice for those who suffer from melasma or continually have problems with pigmentation. A combination of octinoxate and oxybenzone to protect and 4% hydroquinone to get rid of brown patches, this will work wonders for those whose spots keep returning.
Obagi has just introduced Sun Shield SPF 50. A high SPF for the ultimate protection, Sun Shield is non-whitening and glides into the skin, leaving a smooth matte finish. Whichever sunscreen you choose, make sure you are protecting your new, youthful skin!

You’ve prepared your skin for the active ingredients and started to improve it by removing sun damage and the dead top layer of the skin. Now, you’re ready to use the Obagi Nu-Derm System to go deep into the dermis to literally change the health and resilience of your skin.
Step #5 in the system is Blender. This product is blended with prescription Retin A for an intense anti-aging effect.
Damaged, aged skin has a thick layer of dead, built-up skin cells. Overproduction of melanin causes pigmentation and age spots. Collagen and elastin fibers deep in the dermis are damaged and weak.
Blender mixed with Retin A will thin out old skin cells and leave skin more hydrated. Pigment cells stop overproducing melanin.
The supporting skin structure underneath becomes strong and resilient again. Collagen and elastin plump and tighten the skin.
Over time, unhealthy skin cells are shed and new skin cells actually look and act younger. Skin is clear, even-toned, glowing and youthful.

Now that your skin has been prepared with the first two steps in the Obagi Nu-Derm System, you are ready to start to improve the skin. Step #3 is Obagi Clear.
Clear contains prescription strength hydroquinone to remove sun damage, freckles, age spots, melasma, and even out your skin tone. Follow with step #4 Exfoderm or Exfoderm Forte.
Made from plant acids, this lotion gently resurfaces the skin and removes dead, dull build-up from old skin cells. Your skin will regain the youthful glow it once had.
Use the Forte if your skin is very oily or thick. Because men naturally have thicker skin, Exfoderm Forte may be the best choice. Clear and Exfoderm remove aging and sun damage to improve your skin more than you ever thought possible.

Your skin is a living organ made up of skin cells. The only true way to change the age and health of your skin is from the inside out.
Obagi Medical’s Nu-Derm System actually goes deep into your dermis to change your skin from the inside. Each part of the system is an important step in revitalizing and rejuvenating your skin.
The first part of the system is designed to prepare the skin so the active ingredients will penetrate evenly and more effectively. The first step is to cleanse the skin.
Foaming Gel and Gentle Cleanser both gently remove impurities and prepare the skin for the later steps. Foaming Gel is best for oily to normal skin types. Gentle Cleanser is designed for normal to dry skin.
The next step is to tone the skin. Obagi’s Toner removes any bacteria or debris left on the skin while normalizing the pH balance of the skin.
Balancing the pH will allow all the active ingredients to do their job more effectively. Now that your skin is clean and balanced you are ready for the next part of the Obagi Nu-Derm System.
