Why should I use every product from the Obagi system range? All Obagi system treatments are formulated to be effective together, as one system. All formulas work together to effectively balance the pH value. As a result the ingredients penetrate far into the deeper skin layers, yielding superior results. Why are the Obagi system treatments only available from physicians, clinics or recognized Obagi treatment centres?

Can’t I purchase the products on the Internet? The Obagi system treatments contain prescription formulas, regulated by the government and are only available on prescription. That’s why you can only get them through a physician. But If you are under suspicion by the physician it is possible for you to purchase them on the webshop. Can the Obagi products be used around the eyes, neck and lower neckline? With the exception of Obagi Nu-Derm System Eye Cream and the professional-C 5%, you must not use the products around the eyes, because the skin in this area is too thin and delicate. The Obagi products may be used on décolletage and neck. However, the skin in this area is different from facial skin. So you’ll have to consult your doctor or skin specialist on the amount and frequency of use. Is it safe to use Obagi system products during pregnancy? The non-prescription products of the Obagi system are safe to use during pregnancy and lactation. The prescription products, which contain hydrochinon or tretinoin, have not been tested to see if they are harmful to a foetus (UK spelling) or baby, and should therefore not be used during pregnancy or lactation.

Is it safe to use Obagi products in the sun (e.g. at an outdoor event or on the beach)? Please remember that any lengthy exposure to the sun causes damage to the skin. It’s sensible not to expose the skin to the sun for too long without a protective factor. So, always apply a sunscreen, e.g. the Obagi Nu-Derm Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35, the Obagi-C Fx SunGuard SPF 300 or Obagi Nu-Derm Physical UV Block SPF 32. When using the Obagi system, it is perfectly safe to partake in normal outdoor activities, just remember that your skin may be sensitive to sun and heat. It is very important to re-apply your sun cream every two hours when you stay in the sun for any length of time. What happens when I stop using the Obagi products? Skin cells are renewed every 28 to 40 days, and pushed towards the surface of the skin. Dead skin cells remain lying at the surface for another 12 days. When you stop using the products, you interrupt the renewal process of the improved cells.

The improved new skin cells will eventually disappear and the abnormal skin cell functions will reappear. You will notice that the achieved result will eventually disappear.
