Increases nutrients natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking skin

Helps increase collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient looking skin

Promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, more even skin tone

Reduces mottled pigmentation (freckles and age spots) and helps prevent the appearance of new pigmentation

Pushes fresher cells to the surface faster, for smoother skin, reduced wrinkles and increased tolerance .


The skin treatment consists of use of 6 creams in the morning an evening for a period of 4 months, the equivalent of three skin cycles. Each cycle involves the growth of a skin cell from its lowest position in the skin to its death and falling off. Patients are typically very red and itchy in the areas of cream use for the first two weeks, but the skin soon adapts to the irritation caused by retin-A, the active ingredient.


Most patients see improvements in the first two weeks. Although some exfoliation of dead skin continues for several weeks, the results of health, clean,and less blotchy skin are soon apparent.


After the four months patients either continue with a reduced schedule of cream usuage, or switch over to the Obagi-C product line to maintain their results.
