Obagi CRx System C-Clarifying Serum for Normal/Dry Skin Rx (Prescription Only) 30ml

What is the Obagi CRx System?

The patented Obagi CRx Systems are complete skin care regimens that proactively correct signs of damage to help restore and maintain healthy, radiant skin. These systems offer the benefits of both prescription-strength hydroquinone and potent Vitamin C in 2 comprehensive packages that are suitable for all skin types, including normal to oily skin and normal to dry skin.

What will the Obagi CRx System do for my skin?

Prescription-strength 4% hydroquinone plus 10% L-ascorbic acid has proven aesthetic advantages:

• Improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation (discoloration)
• Accelerates skin turnover to restore balance, radiance, and clarity to lackluster skin
• Promotes skin rejuvenation from the inside out with Vitamin C, the only topical antioxidant proven to stimulate collagen synthesis
• Minimizes future skin cell damage by neutralizing free radicals and protecting the skin
• Maximizes antioxidant absorption due to a low pH level (low pH also means greater antioxidant stability and a longer shelf life than other leading Vitamin C products)

Why is Vitamin C important?

Vitamin C belongs to an important group of antioxidants which fight the free radicals that age the skin. Studies have shown topical Vitamin C, in the most effective form (L-ascorbic acid), can help improve sun protection, repair sun damaged skin, reduce fine lines, stimulate collagen building and potentially reduce discoloration of the skin.

How is the Obagi CRx System different from other Vitamin C products?

The Obagi CRx System’s patented formulation, using proven ingredients, provides a simple to use system for brighter, more radiant skin. While many Vitamin C products simply moisturize the skin's surface, the Obagi CRx System penetrates to all layers of the skin, effectively delivering more Vitamin C than other brands.

Obagi-C RX - What Can I expect?

Clinical studies show that the Obagi CRx System gradually reduces hyperpigmentation (discoloration) and signs of premature aging within a few weeks of treatment. With consistent use, patients noticed healthier, more vibrant, youthful-looking skin.

Most users report significant results during the first month of treatment. There may be some initial irritation due to the prescription strength Vitamin-C, or minor break-outs due to sunscreen found in the product. In the majority of cases, these reactions quickly resolve themselves but, if persistent, treatment should be stopped and then resumed after a couple of days.

Clinically proven ingredients

Prescription-strength 4% Hydroquinone:

• Corrects mild to moderate hyperpigmentation (discoloration)
• Restores balance to lackluster skin caused by the early signs of sun damage

Potent vitamin C:

• Actively and deeply penetrates all layers of the skin (dermis, epidermis and stratum corneum) to neutralize and protect against free radicals such as sun and smoke, which are environmental stressors that accelerate the visible signs of the aging process
• Unlike other vitamin C products, the vitamin C serum in the Obagi-C Rx System is very stable and maintains potency longer

Proven, superior skin penetration

Total absorption was calculated by adding amounts of L-ascorbic in the reservoir, determined at 0.5, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 10.5 and 19 hours.

When compared to Skinceuticals Vitamin C serum in a recent study, the Vitamin C serum in the Obagi CRx System provided 50% more penetration into the layers of the skin to provide greater antioxidant therapy and effectiveness.
