— Google ReviewWhat Is Obagi Medical Skincare?
Obagi Medical is one of the world's most trusted prescription-strength skincare brands, backed by decades of clinical research and used by dermatologists and aesthetic surgeons globally. Unlike products available on the high street, Obagi formulations are designed to penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate real, measurable change from within.
The range addresses a wide variety of skin concerns — from pigmentation and uneven skin tone, to fine lines and wrinkles, acne, dehydration and loss of firmness. Each system is carefully formulated with gold-standard active ingredients, including vitamin C, retinol, hyaluronic acid and advanced peptide complexes.
Crucially, Obagi Medical is only available through authorised medical practitioners — because getting the right products in the right concentrations, prescribed correctly for your individual skin, is what sets it apart from anything you can buy yourself.
At Oving Medical Clinic in Chichester, Dr Raffner will assess your skin in detail before recommending and prescribing an Obagi programme specifically designed for you. Combined with in-clinic treatments where appropriate, the results can be truly transformational.
Why Choose Medical-Grade Skincare?
Obagi Product Ranges
Dr Raffner will identify which ranges or combination of products are right for your skin at consultation. Below is an overview of the key Obagi Medical systems available at the clinic.
Obagi Nu-Derm® Fx System
Obagi's flagship transformation system. Formulated with gold-standard active ingredients to visibly even out skin tone, brighten the complexion, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ideal for patients with pigmentation, dullness or early signs of ageing.
Obagi Professional-C®
Powered by stabilised L-ascorbic acid — the gold standard form of vitamin C — this range reduces visible dullness, uneven tone and signs of ageing while supporting a brighter, more radiant complexion. Available in varying concentrations to suit all skin types.
Obagi ELASTIDERM®
An advanced range clinically designed to strengthen the appearance of skin elasticity and firmness. Supports collagen and elastin — the key structural proteins that maintain a youthful complexion — helping to visibly lift and tighten the skin over time.
Obagi Retinols
Clinically proven retinol formulations designed to accelerate cell turnover, boost collagen production, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Advanced delivery systems and soothing ingredients ensure maximum efficacy with minimised irritation — even for sensitive skin.
Obagi Hydrators
Clinically proven all-day hydration through the Hydrate® range and the innovative Hydro Drops® collection, which uses exclusive Isoplentix® technology to protect and release powerful ingredients at the moment of application for maximum skin nourishment.
Obagi Nu-Cil®
A clinically proven hair growth system powered by NouriPlex™ technology to support fuller, healthier lashes and brows. Contains biotin, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate and a proprietary lipid compound to nourish follicles and improve density.
Combine Obagi with In-Clinic Treatments
The best skin results combine a medical-grade home skincare regimen with expert in-clinic treatments. Dr Raffner can design a comprehensive programme incorporating Obagi alongside treatments such as microneedling, Profhilo, polynucleotides or BBL HEROic laser.
