Obagi Creams and Lotions
Filed Under Health |
The skin care market is now flooded with any number of creams and lotions. All of them claiming to have some benefit. Also, as you may have noticed, they all seem to come with high price tag as well. So, why does a skin cream or lotion that uses green tea extract as it primary active ingredient cost as much as $40 today? The answer to that question is quite simple. People are all too willing to pay it. Great strides have been made in understanding just how the skins restorative processes actually function and “don’t function” when they are damaged or degraded. However; the chemicals and science that goes into creating truly effective skin creams and lotions is expensive and difficult.
Tretinoin Creams and Soluble Acidic Vitamin A
All of the creams and lotions in the Obagi skin treatment product lineup contain real medicine and active ingredients that are proven to go beyond the skins surface issues. This means that you won’t find any “oil based, perfumed, tea extract” type of creams or lotions in the Obagi line. Take for instance, Obagi Tretinoin Creams that rely on a unique and patented water soluble form of acidic vitamin A as their key active ingredient. While other creams and lotions that contain standard “oil based” vitamin A merely “soothe over” surface issues, the water soluble, acidic vitamin A in this powerful cream is quickly absorbed directly into the skin where it subsequently functions in the skins dermal layer with living skin cells.
Bold New Developments in Skin Exfoliating Cream and Lotions
Obagi has also broken new ground with new concepts in chemical based exfoliators. While other Obagi exfoliating creams and lotions rely on harsh abrasives to scrub the surface, which might “feel good”. The fact is your skin is being sanded raw by these products and left bare and depleted. Obagi has pioneered the use of mild acids such as salacylic, glycolic and lactic acids that exfoliate with out the use of harsh abrasives. These types of exfoliating creams and lotions are able to penetrate deep into skins pores and dissolve accumulated organic dead skin cells and congealed oils where it matters the most. The result is smaller pores and smooth undamaged surface skin which is great for rejuvenation by Obagi.
