Go, skin, glow!

MANILA, Philippines - For many years, it has been said that drinking lots of water will lead to having good, supple skin. Studies show, however, that before the water you drink, even gets to your skin, it goes first through your blood stream, your organs and your cells, if not flushed out of your system.

The state of one’s skin, whether it’s dry, oily or perfectly dewy, is dependent on several factors like genes, diet and exposure to environmental elements like humidity and UV rays.

Water helps your skin by helping your cells function better. When it comes to moisturizing the skin, you need more than just water.

Obagi Nu-Derm System’s Obagi Hydrate Moisturizer will help provide long-lasting hydration for all-day moisture protection. This product contains Hydromanil, a technologically advanced ingredient that retains water and gradually delivers moisture to the skin. It does not only provide immediate hydration, it also continues to hold water in the layers of the skin over time.

This gentle, hypoallergenic formula also contains other natural ingredients such as shea butter, mango butter and avocado to help combat skin dryness without clogging the pores. Designed for all skin types, Hydrate is dermatologist-tested to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing.

Obagi Medical products are prescription-strength skincare products that have been trusted by dermatologists worldwide. Obagi Nu-Derm System has been around for 25 years and since it was created, its original formula has continued to address a wide range of skin concerns, from pimples to pigmentation to skin aging.
