With the number of skincare products available in shops increasing, we know it can be confusing to know which  products to buy. When buying products that you will be using on your face, it is important to know what the ingredients are and whether the product can be trusted, which is why we suggest buying science driven skincare. That’s why we are here to help talk you through which products to look out for!

You might know by now that we recommend that you opt for medical grade products as they have much higher concentrations of active ingredients which will really help to target your skin concerns.

At Simply Clinics, in addition to our outstanding in-clinic treatments, we also offer a number of medical grade skincare ranges that can help you to achieve incredible results at home. The most popular being the Obagi medical ranges. Obagi create products that cater to all skin types, helping everyone to reach their skin’s full potential. Keep reading to find out some of the top Obagi products we recommend to help combat your skin concerns!

Obagi Clenziderm 

For combating acne and blemishes, The Obagi Daily Foaming Cleanser is our go to product, as it’s great for targeting bateria from its core!

Not only does this help treat acne, but also helps combat oily skin. This cleanser may cause a drying effect on the skin to control excess sebum. Therefore, it is recommended to start using this product once a week and slowly begin to increase its usage.

Key Ingredients:
  • Menthol – to help soothe irritated skin and leave the skin feeling fresh
  • 2% salicylic acid – helps to unclog pores and wash away dead skin cells

Obagi Nu Derm 

Obagi’s Nu-Derm products are perfect if you’re struggling with marks from acne, dark spots, age spots, redness and inflammation. These products help to reduce the appearance of these skin concerns, revealing younger, healthier-looking skin.

Take a look at this before and after just three week’s use!

Obagi Hydrate Luxe

Super hydrating moisturiser that provides instant and long lasting hydration. This product is hypo-allergenic, gentle and designed to smoothen and hydrate skin. Although it is designed for a variety of skin types, it is especially effective for dry skin.
