For over 20 years the Dermalogica philosophy, that looking good is a product of healthy skin, has been central to every product they have developed. That's why every product is formulated with the purest, finest ingredients available, all of which help improve and sustain skin health and integrity.
The Image skincare philosophy states that, Beautiful skin starts with healthy skin. To maintain and improve skin health, an effective, professional pharmaceutical skincare regime is needed. Restoring and maintaining optimal skin health cannot be accomplished utilizing traditional over-the-counter products, which only treat surface skin. Image skincare professional products work on the cellular level to diminish fine lines, fade sun damage, increase hydration and stimulate cellular turnover for more youthful looking skin. Image believes that a simple, customized treatment for your specific skin care goals will be prescribed, with a three-phase process for rejuvenated healthy skin:
- Phase I: Daily use of Image cosmeceutical skincare products.
- Phase II: Series of clinical resurfacing treatments.
- Phase III: Monthly maintenance program.
Obagi Medical Products has developed prescription-strength skin health systems focused on preventing and/or improving skin conditions including photodamage, hyperpigmentation (chloasma, melasma, and freckles), acne, vulgaris and rosacea. The Obagi Nu-Derm System consists of topical products, which when used as a system, result in substantial improvement to these skin related conditions. The Obagi Nu-Derm System is the number one brand of physician dispensed products in the United States. In April 2004, the Company continued its legacy as a leader in skin health systems, by launching a successful new system of products, the Obagi-C Rx System. As the first and only prescription strength Vitamin C and hydroquinone System, it has been a huge success with both patients and physicians. Because the Obagi System products contain prescription strength formulations, the systems are only available through physicians, primarily dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medical spas and other skin care specialists.
