I was introduced to Obagi Medical Products, Inc. through a Plastic Surgery Clinic in the 90’s. Today, Obagi continues to be a well known innovator of very effective products that provide not only a topical improvement to the skin, but with their Obagi Nu-Derm® System, addresses the issue of aging skin at “the cellular level“, resulting in a “renewed healthy skin“.
Al Hummel, Chief Executive Officer at Obagi stated,” Our customers and their patients have been asking for a moisturizer for years; we’re happy to be bringing to market a product that is clinically proven to do what it says it will do! Obagi Hydrate offers both instant and long-lasting hydration and is a great adjunct to any of our other Obagi systems.”
HYDRATE by Obagi Medical products:
OBAGI®
Hydrate
Facial Moisturizer
We consume water daily to keep our bodies hydrated! Our skin needs hydration, as well. With Obagi Hydrate, unlike a lot of moisturizers that just cover the skin to counteract it’s lack of water, an advanced main ingredient in Hydrate called “Hydromanil” takes water, absorbing it into your skin right away, and keeps it there!! This is a result of a process called a “two-in-one” reaction which maintains ongoing moisturizing and water within the skin, as well as top surface hydration on the outer skin’s surface that helps to counteract dehydration (water loss).
Additional active ingredients in Obagi Hydrate that help moisturize and stave off dryness and dehydration include:
• Shea Butter
• Mango Butter
• Avocado &
• Glycerin
Here’s even better news! Quoting from Clinical Trials using Obagi Hydrate, “a 51% improvement in moisture loss after 8 hours and a 92% improvement in the skin’s moisture retention within 2 hours was noted. Obagi Hydrate, after extensive dermatological testing was shown to have no specific clinical reaction proving it to be non-irritating, non-sensitizing, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic.”
I found that Obagi Hydrate penetrated directly into my skin when I applied it. There was no residue, just a continuous moist hydrated feel. With Obagi’s advanced technical “two-in-one” process, I knew that Hydrate’s ongoing “activity” was working above and below my surface skin and I wouldn’t have to worry about that dehydrated feeling I had often experienced in the past.
All skin types can experience dehydration, and use Obagi Hydrate. As we head into the fall and winter seasons, it would be the perfect time for you to try this terrific hydrating moisturizer.
Priced at $45.00 for 1.7ounces, Obagi Nu-Derm Hydrate can be found at “dermatology, plastic surgery and aesthetic physician’s offices”.
