Obagi Medical is a range of doctor-prescribed skincare products designed to work at a cellular level, targeting hyperpigmentation, ageing, acne, and uneven skin texture with measurable results.
Obagi Medical is one of the world's most trusted medical-grade skincare brands, used by clinicians globally to deliver clinically meaningful improvements in skin health. Unlike over-the-counter products, Obagi regimens are prescribed and monitored by a doctor to ensure safe, effective, and personalised results.
At my Grange Park clinic, I offer a range of Obagi Medical systems tailored to your individual skin concerns — whether that's persistent hyperpigmentation, signs of ageing, acne-prone skin, or simply achieving brighter, healthier-looking skin.
Every Obagi prescription begins with a thorough skin consultation to assess your skin type, concerns, and goals, so the right regimen is selected for your skin and used safely and effectively.

What Is Obagi Medical?
Obagi Medical is a range of clinically developed skincare products used by healthcare professionals to treat a wide spectrum of skin concerns. The formulations are designed to penetrate deeper than standard cosmetic products, delivering active ingredients where they are needed most.
Obagi products are backed by clinical research and decades of use in medical aesthetics. Many of the prescription-strength products in the range — including hydroquinone and tretinoin — are only available through a licensed clinician, ensuring they are used safely, correctly, and in the right combination for your skin.
The results achieved with Obagi go beyond what cosmetic skincare can offer, producing real, measurable changes in skin tone, clarity, and overall health that patients can see and feel.
PRODUCT RANGES
Each Obagi system is designed to address a specific set of skin concerns. Your doctor will recommend the range most suited to your skin type, goals, and lifestyle.
The flagship Obagi system, designed to transform the skin at a cellular level. Addresses hyperpigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and the visible signs of ageing. Available in normal-to-dry and normal-to-oily formulations.
Combines the brightening power of vitamin C with prescription-strength retinol to target early skin ageing, pigmentation, and loss of radiance. Suitable for patients seeking a comprehensive anti-ageing and brightening regimen.
A high-potency vitamin C antioxidant serum available in varying concentrations. Protects the skin from oxidative damage, brightens the complexion, and supports collagen synthesis for firmer, more radiant skin.
A therapeutic system formulated to address acne at its source. Uses a patented solubilised benzoyl peroxide technology to penetrate the pore and target the bacteria that cause breakouts, reducing acne and improving skin clarity.
Specifically formulated to target elastin, the protein responsible for skin elasticity and resilience. Available as an eye cream and face serum, ELASTIderm helps reduce the appearance of lines and sagging in delicate areas.
Advanced moisturisers formulated with Hydromanil technology for long-lasting hydration at multiple skin levels. Essential for maintaining skin barrier health and supporting the skin during active regimens.
A superficial salicylic acid peel designed to improve skin texture, clarity, and radiance with minimal downtime. Suitable for a wide range of skin types, it helps refresh dull skin and can be used as part of an ongoing skin health plan.
The inclusion of Obagi Medical Skincare at Dr Clare Aesthetics provides a thorough approach to achieving radiant, youthful skin. Whether paired with treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or anti-wrinkle injections, Obagi products support your skin's renewal process and optimise long-term results.
HOW OBAGI WORKS
Obagi products work differently from cosmetic skincare by reaching deeper layers of the skin to produce clinically meaningful, lasting change.
Following a thorough skin assessment, a personalised Obagi regimen is prescribed. Prescription-strength ingredients such as hydroquinone and tretinoin are selected based on your skin type, tone, and specific concerns.
The active ingredients penetrate below the skin's surface to target melanin production, stimulate collagen and elastin, and accelerate healthy cell turnover — processes that standard cosmetics cannot reach.
Consistent use of the prescribed regimen produces gradual, accumulative improvements. Skin tone becomes more even, texture smoother, and the skin's overall health and resilience measurably improved.

OBAGI SKINCARE FAQ
Obagi Medical is a range of clinically developed skincare products used by healthcare professionals worldwide. The formulations contain prescription-strength and professional-grade active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the skin than standard cosmetic products, producing measurable improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall health. Many products require a clinician's prescription.
Some Obagi products — particularly those containing hydroquinone or tretinoin — require a doctor's prescription in the UK. These are only available through licensed clinicians to ensure they are used safely and appropriately for your skin type. Non-prescription products from the Obagi range are available through my online shop after registration.
The Obagi Nu-Derm System is the brand's flagship skincare programme, designed to transform the skin at a cellular level. It works by addressing hyperpigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and visible ageing. The system uses prescription-strength ingredients including hydroquinone and tretinoin to produce clinically measurable, long-lasting results that go beyond what cosmetic skincare can achieve.
Most patients begin to notice initial improvements after 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use. More significant and visible transformation in skin tone, clarity, and texture is typically seen from around 12 weeks onwards. Full results develop over 6 months, and maintaining a regimen long-term helps preserve and build on the improvements achieved.
Obagi products are suitable for a wide range of skin types and skin tones, including darker skin tones. Suitability is assessed during your consultation, taking into account your skin concerns, medical history, and goals. Some formulations are better suited to certain skin types, which is why a doctor-led assessment is essential before starting a regimen.
Obagi is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This will be discussed fully during your consultation.
Yes, Obagi skincare can complement many in-clinic aesthetic treatments. For example, using a medical-grade skincare regimen can help prepare the skin before SkinPen microneedling, support recovery afterwards, and prolong the results of treatments such as Profhilo skin booster or Sunekos. Your treatment plan will be discussed fully at consultation.
Some patients experience an adjustment period, particularly during the first few weeks of an active Obagi regimen. This is a normal response to the prescription-strength ingredients and may involve mild dryness, flaking, or sensitivity as skin cell turnover accelerates.
This adjustment phase is temporary and typically settles within 2–4 weeks. It is closely monitored as part of your ongoing doctor-led care, and advice is provided on managing any sensitivity during this period.
