Description: Must have for those who have the following concerns: Dull skin Uneven skin tone Rough skin texture Enlarged pores Clogged pores Post acne Aggressive facial treatments that promise miracles through pain and risk are not popular in Japan. For a Japanese woman skincare is a ritual. She wants to enjoy the smell and texture. Skin must never suffer. Obagi Peeling V10 is a good example of how the Japanese see skin peels. “Strong” does not stand for effective and “gentle” does not mean uneffective. They prefer gradual, step by step improvement with no risk, pain, or discomfort. As we age skin renewal cycle slows down. For a middle aged adult it takes roughly a month to renew the skin cells. As we age the cycle slows down to 50-60 days. Pollution, make up products and stress make the situation even worse. Without proper cleansing and additional care skin gets overloaded with old keratin and dead cells. It cannot breathe normally, and its self renewal abilities deteriorate. Thick layer of dead skin cells does not let skin care product penetrate leaving active ingredients on the surface. Obagi Peeling V10 gently removes keratin plugs and excess sebum from the pores and helps actives penetrate deeper. It will reveal your fresh, softer and smoother skin. Obagi was born from dermatological research of Rohto Pharmaceutical, a Japanese pharma company established in 1899. Obagi products are based on scientific research and developed with knowledge and experience of Rohto.
