There is now a wider choice in skin creams and lotions then there has ever been in history. Not only are there the old standby “feel good” perfumy products that have been available to men and women for decades but now there is a whole new generation scientifically formulated topical creams and lotions as well. The big catch phrase now is “anti oxidants and it seems that now they are in just about every cream and lotion on the market. The truth is however, that many natural substances such as green tea are loaded with anti oxidants and that is why you will see so many of these “natural” substances in these creams and lotions.

A Wealth of New Understandings

While Obagi does have some milder “natural” oriented treatments in its product lineup. The vast proportion of their creams and lotions as well as other products Obagi produces take advantage of the huge wealth of knowledge that has been gained in recent years, regarding the skins actual intrinsic restorative functions. Through this huge volume of knowledge that has been gained chemists and medical developmental research engineers at Obagi have been able to develop new products that function as a form of replacement therapy for the skins many restorative processes. At the same time, Obagi has pioneered the development of new “acidic” exfoliants that work in tandem with these newly developed products.

The New Developments Just Keep on Coming

Older style exfoliants only functioned on the surface. They basically sanded the skin smooth, which felt great but in fact left skin damaged. It was the developmental researchers at Obagi who discovered that by using mild acids in place of grit, the skin can be in fact, more thoroughly exfoliated without the damage that grit based exfoliants can leave. This in turn led to the development of the three staged Obagi acne treatment system called the Obagi CLENZIderm System. With this system, sensitive damaged acne infected skin can be thoroughly and safely exfoliated not just on the surface but deep inside oil pores as well.
