Zein Obagi, MD is the quintessential maverick of skin care. Twenty years ago he pioneered the concept of skin health and developed a line of medical skincare products that transformed aging skin. At that time, Dr. Obagi merely intended to challenge the norms of traditional skin care. Instead he shattered the status quo.
Today his old ideas about skin health are no longer surprising; they have become mainstream. Around the world, Zein Obagi, MD is the unofficial synonym for results-oriented skin care. Now he's done it again with ZO® Skin Health by Zein Obagi, MD– the first retail line of anti-aging skin care products that brings Rx-inspired, results-oriented technology to go above and beyond traditional cosmeceuticals. Today, Dr. Obagi's standards are still as high, but his philosophy isn't quite so controversial.
Because beauty–and health–are two things the whole world can
agree on.
"I don’t compromise. You shouldn’t either." - Zein Obagi, MD
For what are you best known?
I'm probably best known for developing Obagi Nu-Derm, a system of anti-aging and results-oriented skincare utilized by more than 10,000 doctors in the US and worldwide. And I've done a lot of public speaking around the world--both training physicians and speaking to consumers.
What is the philosophy behind ZO Skin Health?
It is my newest creation in anti-aging skincare. After age 30, your skin cells go to sleep. So we need to wake up those skin cells so that they resume producing collagen and elastin, just like when your skin was younger. We do this by using high concentrations of active ingredients—much higher than you'll find in traditional anti-aging skincare products.
For whom do you recommend ZO Skin Health?
People who:
- are not ready for prescription anti-aging skincare.
- want to enjoy a lifetimetof healthy skin, and maintain the results they've obtained from my Obagi Nu-Derm.
- want to alleviate some of the side effects that they're experiencing from Rx skincare products, without compromising the results.
- have naturally healthy, active skin, and want to continue to fight that good fight.
How old are you?
I'll be 67 this year.
