Skin That Glows

For years, women have been searching for ways to achieve radiant skin. Radiant skin is the outward sign of the youth and energy they feel inside, but even minor sun damage can cause skin to become dull and lackluster. As a result, there have been hundreds of introductions of cosmetic products designed to brighten skin and even out skin tone. These are foundations and moisturizing products containing reflective mica chips that make skin more reflective while a woman is wearing them. However, these products provide only temporary illusions that disappear once the skin is cleansed. Today Obagi has discovered a way for women to let their natural radiance shine through, and without make-up.

The new Obagi-C Rx System is the first and only prescription based system for Photolumines skin. Photolumines skin emits measurable light from within. Obagi-C Rx System is skin care that is designed for women who want the brighter, more radiant skin that they associate with youth, without applying "shimmering" products (that can accentuate fine lines and wrinkles).

The Obagi-C Rx System is the only Vitamin C system that combines a patented formula of prescription strength ingredients and professional strength vitamin C. The professional strength System Vitamin-C (L-Ascorbic Acid) formula penetrates three times deeper to all skin layers than the top selling common non-Rx product currently on the market.

While vitamin C products have been available for some time, none has the power of the Obagi-C Rx System. The power of the system is the system. The system's measured dosage and frequency regulates the production of dark color producing cells. This evens skin tone and results in a 90% improvement in skin radiance. It also enhances collagen production, which produces smoother, photolumines skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. The system also corrects and restores balance to lackluster skin and dark patches and blotchiness caused by sun damage.

According to company founder, Dr. Zein Obagi, the revolutionary new patented System gives patients the opportunity to let their own light shine through.

"That is why we call it Photolumines Skin," said Dr. Obagi.

The Obagi-C Rx System is available by prescription only through dermatologists and plastic surgeons. The company began shipping the new Obagi-C Rx System to physicians in May. To locate a physician in your area, go to www.obagi.com, or call 1-800-636-7546 to speak with a customer service representative.

Obagi Medical Products, located in Long Beach, Calif., develops, manufactures, markets and sells products designed to transform skin at the cellular level. Obagi products have been available for over 15 years in the U.S. and around the world, including Japan, South Korea, Scandinavia, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Latin America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
