Below the skin's surface are cells that give skin its smoothness, color, and firmness. As these cells mature, new ones are made. For healthy skin, this cycle of cell replacement takes about six weeks. But just as the health of other body parts begins to fail with age, so does the health of your skin. Add in sun exposure over the years, and the skin's ability to renew itself is damaged even more. The OBAGI Nu-Derm™ System works deep down to bring skin cells back to health.

As the cell renewal cycle becomes less efficient, skin becomes rough in texture, spotted in color, and loose in tone. The OBAGI Nu-Derm™ System can change all that. Many cosmetic products offer improved skin care, but only the OBAGI Nu-Derm™ System offers improved skin health. That's because the OBAGI Nu-Derm™ System is medically prescribed, using prescription-strength ingredients that work at the cellular level, beyond the skin's surface. The result? Smooth texture. Balanced color. Diminished wrinkles.

The OBAGI Nu-Derm™ System improves the function of three types of skin cells: Keratinocyte are cells on the skin's surface. The OBAGI Nu-Derm™ System stimulates natural exfoliation of keratinocytes to recapture the skin's smooth, moist texture.

Melanocyte contains a pigment called melanin that gives skin its color. The OBAGI Nu-Derm™ System corrects the overproduction of melanin caused by sun exposure. Dark spots fade and skin color becomes more even.

Fibroblast produces support structures in skin called collagen and elastin that tend to break down over time. The OBAGI Nu-Derm™ System helps skin preserve collagen and elastin. Skin becomes firm, and fine lines and wrinkling appear less noticeable. Surrounding blood circulation also improves, giving your skin a healthy glow.
