OBAGI Nu-derm

Give your skin the look of good health.

Below the skin's surface are cells that give skin its smoothness, even 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 the exposure to sunlight that has built up over the years, and the skin's ability to renew itself is damaged even more.

The 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 Nu-Derm System can change all that.

Restore skin health with the beauty treatment prescribed by your doctor.
Many cosmetic products offer improved skin care, but only the Nu-Derm System offers improved skin health. That's because the Nu-Derm System is medically prescribed. It uses prescription-strength ingredients that work at the cellular level...beyond the skins surface. Only a physician can provide the types of products that restore skin health at a cellular level.

Smooth texture. Balanced Color. Diminished wrinkles. What does your skin need?
The Nu-Derm™ System improves the function of three types of skin cells: keratinocytes, melanocytes, arid fibroblasts.

Keratinocytes are cells on the skin's surface. The Nu-Derm System stimulates natural exfoliation of keratinocytes to recapture the skin's smooth, moist texture.

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

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

Follow the steps to healthy skin.

Whether your skin is fair, dark, dry, oily, sensitive, or anything in between, there is a Nu-Derm™ System regimen that's right for you. That's because the Nu-Derm System offers the flexibility to combine just the right products for your skin health needs.
