Ommerse® Overnight Recovery Crème

Every professional field of work has its game-changers. The folks who take the old standards as we know it and turn them upside down. Something that makes us all wonder: Wow, what’s next?

Meet dermatology’s game-changer, Dr. Zein Obagi. This is the world-renowned, board-certified dermatologist who started his career 30 years ago with one goal in mind — breakthroughs.

It started with his healthy skin concept. When Dr. Obagi introduced the theory that creating and maintaining healthy skin started not on the skin’s surface, but deep within the skin, his peers scoffed.

Today they not only practice the concept, but they attend Dr. Obagi’s seminars to stay abreast of his trailblazing teachings. Physicians travel from Asia and Europe to observe Dr. Obagi at his clinic in Beverly Hills, as he makes a wonderful difference in the skin—and the lives—of his patients.

Dr. Obagi has found a way to treat the patients other dermatologists have red-stamped as untreatable. He’s the go-to skin rejuvenation doctor for ethnic skin and hard-to-treat cases that span the globe.

Dr. Obagi’s work as a skincare formulator? Just as progressive. Dr. Obagi developed the prescription-strength Obagi® Nu-Derm® system—which is now the gold-standard in doctors’ offices, treating a variety of skin conditions layer by layer. But, Dr. Obagi’s most recent product line, ZO® Skin Health by Zein Obagi, MD, is running circles around the over-the-counter competition. That’s what happens when you introduce potent, no-nonsense ingredients in a market where watered down formulations in pretty packaging are the norm.

By now you must be asking yourself the same question the dermatology profession asks itself every day: What will Dr. Zein Obagi come up with next?

Internationally renowned dermatologist, educator and innovator, Zein E. Obagi, M.D. has established himself as a leading expert in cosmetic dermatology. Medical companies and patients rely on his breadth of knowledge and effective approach to attaining and maintaining healthy skin. He is a board-certified diplomat of the American Board of Dermatology and a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. Dr. Obagi completed his residency in Dermatology, as an officer the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy.

As the most well-known skin health expert in the world, Dr. Obagi is esteemed for his work in successfully correcting a wide range of skin conditions, including facial melasma, deep wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, especially after conventional treatment programs have failed.

Dr. Obagi lectures extensively on the subject of skin health, presenting his findings to medical societies worldwide. In addition, he has privately trained hundreds of dermatologists and plastic surgeons in administering his Obagi Blue Peel Modified Controlled-Variable-Depth TCA Peel. In addition to several publications on the Blue Peel and other chemical peels, he also authored Obagi Skin Health Restoration and Treatment, which is regarded as an indispensable training manual for dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

NOT YOUR ORDINARY SKINCARE

ZO® Skin Health, by Zein Obagi, MD, is turning skin care inside out. Instead of expecting topical lotions and creams to provide quick fixes and one-shot wonders, ZO® Skin Health products work from the inside out, activating and stimulating your skin's cells to nourish, repair, and maintain themselves. It's not a miracle, really. It's just the way that nature intended.

ZO® Skin Health uses the most potent ingredients, high concentrations, pure retinol, advanced peptides, and powerful anti-oxidants. Some of the formulas developed by Dr. Zein Obagi are admittedly over the top. Because to win the battle on aging, you have to give it your best shot.

NOT YOUR ORDINARY DERMATOLOGIST

Dr. Obagi is a world-renowned Board Certified dermatologist who has been in practice for over 30 years. Dr. Obagi's main office, The Obagi Skin Health Institute, is located in Beverly Hills, California. As the quintessential maverick of dermatology, Dr. Obagi merely intended to challenge the norms of conventional skin treatments. In doing so, he shattered the status quo, changed the ways that dermatologists and plastic surgeons treated skin, and managed to expose the risk-averse culture to new ideas and opportunities. Fast-forward 25 years, Dr. Obagi's old ideas are no longer surprising, they have become mainstream. Today he has become synonymous with results-oriented skin treatments around the world.

Dr. Obagi defines healthy skin as skin that is:

A few of Dr. Obagi’s noted accomplishments include:

• Dr. Obagi is a leading authority in cosmetic dermatology and created the concept of skin health, while the term was still virtually unknown in dermatology.
• Dr. Obagi was a pioneer in the treatment of difficult skin conditions, regardless of skin color or age.
• In the early 80's, Dr. Obagi created what has since become the world's #1 professional skin-care program for correcting problems such as acne, melasma (brown spots), fine lines, wrinkles, and scars: the Obagi Nu-Derm® system. Today, the Obagi Nu-Derm® system—produced and marketed by Obagi Medical Products, Inc.—is used by more than 11,000 physicians throughout the world and is the most effective treatment for skin-health restoration.
• Dr. Obagi developed the first controllable chemical peel with observable depth signs. The Obagi® Medium Depth Peel and Obagi® Blue Peel enable practitioners to follow a standardized method for chemical peeling. Prior to Dr. Obagi inventing controlled depth chemical peels, many conditions were untreatable, and conventional chemical peels were risky. Now, for the first time, all different skin types including Asian, Hispanic, and African-American skin can be safely and effectively treated.
• ZO® Skin Health, a new product line developed by Dr. Obagi, bridges the gap between the therapeutic medical program developed by Dr. Obagi and daily skin care. ZO® Skin Health fights the signs of aging with powerful ingredients and an enhanced delivery system. This marks a new direction in OTC skin-care technology, furthering Dr. Obagi's reputation as the pioneer in skin health. ZO® Skin Health is produced and marketed by ZO Skin Health, Inc., a separate company from Obagi Medical Products, Inc.
• Dr. Obagi has practiced dermatology with the U.S. Navy, operated a practice in Chula Vista, California and La Jolla, California, and now practices at the Obagi Skin Health Institute in Beverly Hills and the Obagi Skin Health Institute in San Gabriel, California.
• Dr. Obagi is the author of "Obagi Skin Health Restoration & Rejuvenation."
  
  The popularity of the products that Dr. Obagi created—whether sold by Obagi Medical Products, Inc., or ZO Skin Health, Inc.—has resulted in the proliferation of imitation, knock-offs, and fake products, none of which can compare to the originals. Dr. Obagi recommends that you purchase products from reputable sources—including the Obagi Skin Health Institute or Dr. Obagi’s own website (www.obagiskin.com).

ZO® Skin Health products are offered at department stores, spas, and medi-spas listed on this website.
