For more than 35 years, OBAGI Medical has been a trusted name in clinical skincare. Originating in the United States, the brand was founded with a clear mission to deliver science-based skincare solutions that produce real, visible results across a wide range of skin concerns—earning OBAGI Medical recognition as the #1 Leading U.S. Physician Recommended Brand*.
Throughout its journey, OBAGI has recognized that every skin type has unique needs. Therefore, all innovations are designed to suit all skin types, including sensitive skin and diverse skin tones around the world.
Science-Based Skincare, Designed for Transformation

Since its inception, this U.S.-based skincare brand has developed its products through a medical-driven approach, reflected in the use of pharma-grade ingredients and prescription-strength formulations. Each formulation is supported by scientific research and rigorous clinical testing, earning the trust of physicians and dermatologists in more than 80 countries worldwide.
Solutions for Various Skin Concerns

OBAGI Medical provides solutions for a wide range of skin challenges commonly experienced worldwide, including
- Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and dull skin
- Early signs of aging, fine lines, and reduced elasticity
- Acne and acne-prone skin
- Dry skin and a weakened skin barrier
- Protection against UV exposure and pollution
- Professional treatments delivering clinic-level results
This commitment has been supported by a science led approach from the very beginning, with OBAGI recognized as one of the first skincare brands to comprehensively test its products across the Fitzpatrick Skin Spectrum, a scientific classification that identifies six skin types based on pigmentation levels and the skin’s response to sun or ultraviolet exposure. This approach ensures that every formulation is designed to be effective for all skin types and skin tones.
Through its flagship skincare franchises such as Nu-Derm, ELASTIderm, CLENZIderm, Obagi Professional-C, Obagi Retinol, and other ranges, OBAGI Medical strives to deliver inclusive skincare solutions for all skin types.
