Obagi Skin Care System: A Review of the Obagi Medical Skin Care System
Custom Search
The Obagi skin care system is a prescription-strength line of skin care products that can only be prescribed by a physician, like a dermatologist. The product is designed to rejuvenate and expedite skin cell growth.
But does it really work? Is it worth the cost and the hassle? Keep reading for a full review of Obagi and their skin care system.
Price
Obagi is expensive. The full system can cost upwards of $300 and isn't covered by many drug plans. With those costs, many patients opt instead for laser peels or chemical peels which can have similar results, last longer and don't involve the hassle of a daily, multi-step skin care system.
Quality
The Obagi skin care system is FDA-approved and created by dermatologists. Overall, the product is high quality. However, some users will find the high levels of acids and peels in this product will not only burn the skin, but severely irritate it.
Before you use Obagi, it's important that you understand how to use the product and that you consult with your dermatologist. The product isn't your standard over the counter AHA cream, it has prescription levels and is therefore very strong.
Ease of Use
Obagi's skin care line involves six steps – which seems like an incredible amount of work on a nightly basis. Each step must be done in the right order with the right amount of product. And, to maintain results, you need to keep it up. Overall, using the Obagi system has a big learning curve and may not be worth the effort.
Results
Most users are really pleased with the six-week rejuvenation system and the ongoing Obagi systems, however the results aren't permanent and once they stop using the product, they see their acne return or their skin return to its previous state.
Another major drawback to the product is the redness and flaking that occurs during the first few weeks of use. Because the product is basically a home chemical peel, the outer layer of skin is removed to make way for fresh new skin. Unfortunately, the process of shedding old skin is somewhat painful and slightly unattractive.
The Final Verdict
Overall, the Obagi skin care system is a well made product, but probably not the best option for people looking for a permanent acne or aging solution. Most patients are likely better off opting for a laser or chemical, in-office treatment with their dermatologists.
