It's certainly no secret that there is an almost uncountable number of acne treatments out on the market. This also doesn't factor in the many folk, natural and home acne remedies that are being hawked So then just what is it that makes Obagi CLENZIderm so different?
What Makes So Many Acne Treatments Alike?
There is an answer to that question but before I go into it, I'd like to expand on another related topic. That is, what makes so many of the common treatment products and systems so alike? What do they share in general and also what do they share specifically?
Acne Treatments In General Really Haven't Changed
The answer to the first question, is that in general, treatments really haven't changed. Why should they when acne really is a passing condition. That is that as people age, it tends to go away. Now if people had acne for life, they would need to see new developments from time to time.
Most Common Acne Treatments Have One thing in Common
The answer to the second question, is that the one thing that most treatments have in common, is that they tend to share the same basic ingredients and benzoyl peroxide is one of the most popular. The reason for this is simple and that reason is that it's long since been proven effective.
The Two Major Problems With Benzoyl Peroxide
However; all along there has been two major problems with benzoyl peroxide. One is its side effects that can leave skin dry, red and itchy. The other is that it's not water soluble. Rather, in an treatment, benzoyl peroxide is more like a finely ground powder.
Obagi CLENZIderm Uses New Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide
The problem with that, is that it inhibits it from getting into pores where it functions to kill acne causing bacteria. Sure some gets in but not nearly enough. Obagi CLENZIderm products on the other hand use patented technology to create a micronized form of benzoyl peroxide with granules that are 10,000 times smaller.

All of us who have ever had an acne sore or Comedone have found it very distressing. It is even more distressing for people who have many breakouts which keep coming back. People who go on to develop acne scars are troubled by them for many years as scars left by breakouts are very difficult to conceal.
The good news is that modern medical methods of acne control are very good and can reduce outbreaks and lessen the chance of acne scarring.
However, you will need to follow the skin care program fastidiously. You will also need to consult an expert dermatologist or plastic surgeon that is up to date and knows how to treat acne. You will need prescription medications. You will also need to have monthly exfoliation treatments by a medical aesthetician who is experienced in acne control treatments.
You also need to start early, at the first sign of an outbreak. Delaying treatment only gives the lesions the chance to worsen and possibly cause scarring.
What Causes Acne
Lesions or Comedones are caused by the obstruction and infection of the oil glands in our skin. Our skin contains oil glands called Sebaceous Glands which secrete normal oil called Sebum which helps moisturize and protect our skin.
If Sebum production is too high, for example during adolescence, or skin debris like dead skin obstructs the pore, the Sebaceous Gland can become distended and obstructed so that oil builds up and distends the gland.
An obstructed, distended Sebaceous Gland provides an ideal place for bacteria to grow and create an infection. Once the Sebaceous Gland becomes infected, the skin overlying the gland becomes red, swollen, and painful, an acne lesion. A whitehead can form on the integument, which is essentially a small abscess, called an acne pustule.
Lesions tend to occur most commonly in areas where oil glands or Sebaceous Glands are most plentiful, the area around the nose, forehead and chin, called the T zone, and the back.
What Causes Acne Scars
Visible scars are caused by destruction of the Dermis, the deep layer of the integument. When the Dermis is damaged and tissue is lost, a visible depression or scar appears.
Because the Sebaceous Glands extend deep into the Dermis, the infection in the Sebaceous Gland or Comedone causes infection and destruction of the surrounding Dermis. After healing a deep depression or scar forms because the supporting Dermis tissue has been lost.
How to Control Acne Outbreaks
The basic requirements for control of lesions involve:
o Reduce oil production of the Sebaceous Glands
o Remove skin debris to prevent obstruction of the Sebaceous Glands
o Treat and prevent infection of the Sebaceous Glands
Topical Benzoyl Peroxide is an anti-bacterial agent and an integument drying agent. It is marketed as Brevoxyl Cream or Brevoxyl wash. It is the most commonly used product to control a Comedone breakout and is very effective. Benzoyl Peroxide reduces oil and helps prevent infection.
Vitamin A (retinoic Acid) derivatives reduce integument oil production by inhibiting the Sebaceous Gland cells. Products that are commonly used are Differin (adapalene), Retin A, Tazorac, and Accutane (isotretinoin). These prescription drugs are very effective but do have side effects like skin irritation dryness and other potential problems, thus they must be used under the direction of a physician.
Topical Clindamycin is the most effective antibacterial agent for controlling infection in my experience. It comes as a gel or cream or small wipes called Clindets, which I use most frequently.
Microdermabrasion is the most effective minimally invasive, no down time deep exfoliation method. Microdermabrasion treatments are essential to remove debris, open pores and prevent obstruction of the Sebaceous Glands and the development of a Comedone breakout.
Oral Antibiotics like Minocyclene and other Tetracycline derivatives are widely prescribed for lesion control. They can be effective, but my own prejudice is that it is very hard, if not impossible, for an oral antibiotic to reach a skin abscess like a Comedone. The skin abscess forms a thick wall of inflammation that is almost impossible for the oral antibiotic in the bloodstream to penetrate.
That is why I place so much emphasis on topical care to reduce oil production, deep exfoliation to remove debris and allow the oil out of the gland, and topical Clindamycin applied directly to the infected oil gland or lesions.
IPL, Diode Laser and Blue Light Treatments can kill the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes which cause the infection or lesions. Some of these therapies can reduce oil or Sebum production. These therapies are effective when used properly.
Acne Control Program
The control program depends on the severity of the lesions.
Mild Occasional Outbreaks
o Monthly professional medical grade microdermabrasion treatments
o Topical Benzoyl Peroxide-(Obagi Clenziderm MD penetrates the best)
o Clindamycin- Clindets for acute lesions
Moderate to Severe Outbreaks
o Monthly to bi-weekly microdermabrasion
o Obagi ClenzidermMD Benzoyl Peroxide
o Topical Clindamycin-Clindets
o Retin A Derivative-in increasing order of strength-Differin, Retin A, Tazorac, Accutane
o Consider IPL, Blue Light or Diode Laser Therapy
Severe Cystic Outbreaks
o Microdermabrasion
o Obagi Clenzidrm
o Topical Clindamycin Clindets
o Accutane
o IPL, Diode Laser or Blue Light treatments
How to Remove Acne Scars
Traditionally dermabrasion or surgical excision was used to remove scars. However, with the advent of laser resurfacing in the mid 90"s, laser resurfacing with the CO2 laser became the most common method. However, CO2 laser resurfacing required prolonged recovery, often caused the integument to lose color. In addition, the CO2 laser resurfacing only smoothed the surface of the skin and did little to improve deep lesion scars caused by destruction of the Dermis by the Comedone infection process.
Deep ice pick scars still require a special surgical procedure called floating grafts followed by CO2 laser resurfacing for effective removal. During this procedure, under local anesthesia, a small circular punch or trephine is used to cut around, but not remove the ice pick scar. The punched area floats up above the surface of the surrounding integument. After 2 weeks, the protruding graft has taken, which means it has new blood supply and will survive. At this point, the CO2 laser is used to plane down the protruding grafts flush with the surrounding integument. The new graft closes the ice pick scar. This is the only method I have seen that effectively corrects ice pick breakout scars.
New fractional non-ablative laser skin resurfacing lasers are able to significantly improve deep lesion scars by building new collagen to replace the collagen lost in the Dermis by the Comedone infection.
These new fractional non-ablative resurfacing lasers do not break the skin thus no healing time is required. You will need at least 4 treatments scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. The laser energy is fractionated, that is broken up into many small beams that pass through the integument without injuring it, and heats the deep dermis to build new collagen to actually plump up the breakout scar.
The fractional non-ablative resurfacing laser is a revolutionary advance in scar removal treatment.
Where Do You Find a Good Treatment Program?
First, re-read this article and be armed with the facts about proper therapy. Many physicians just prescribe Minocyclene and do not understand the importance of a comprehensive approach to control this problem.
I recommend that you consult two board certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons that have an interest in this field. Check their websites, do they offer all of the services mentioned above. It is important to find a doctor who offers microdermabrasion treatments and laser therapy in their office. That means they are up to date on current technology.
I also believe that it is essential that the physician have an excellent experienced medical aesthetician in their office. Most of your contact and the most important person in your program will be the medical aesthetician, and she needs to know what she is doing.
You are very unlikely to find the expertise you need in a walk in Medical Spa without a board certified doctor present to examine you and recommend a course of therapy. Physician supervised in the Medical Spa world usually means the doctor is actually at an office some distance from the Medical Spa and provides his/her supervision in the form of a phone call when something goes wrong.
Do your homework.
Obagi Clear is from the Nu-Derm skincare line which fights common skin problems like skin damage, aging, discoloration, etc...
During my initial research for this product there was some confusion from some of the reviewers and I noticed most of the negative reviews (if not all) were complaining that this product did absolutely nothing for their acne.
Of course it didn't do anything to your acne because it's not an acne clearing product!
I can understand that the word "Clear" certainly invokes thoughts of many of the over-the-counter acne fighting products but really doesn't anyone bother to just read product summaries before they buy anymore?
Obagi Clear is actually made to whiten and brighten the skin. One of it's main active ingredients is something called hydroquinone (4%). This ingredient actually blocks the bodies natural production of melanin and hampers hyper-pigmentation problems. It will correct any discoloration you have in your skin and work to improve and even the overall tone of your skin.
If you have any age spots then Obagi Clear would be what you're looking for.
The pros behind this product are that it works well. With 4.3/5 stars on MUA people really like this one.
The cons are that its kind of expensive at around ! It can sometimes be difficult to find, but I've found a place that has it at a great price and it's usually in stock. I'll save that link for the end of the article.
So remember just because it has Clear in the name doesn't mean it's for acne! If you have a serious acne problem Obagi's line of acne-fighting skincare products is actually known as the Clenziderm line.

Summer ends bringing that time of year when students all over the country are going back to school. I have found one of the things on a student's worry list is how their skin looks, especially the skin on their face.
Here are some tips to help prevent breakouts and clear them up as fast as possible:
Keep Your Skin Clean
Cleansing is an important step to skin care, especially for teenagers. You should wash your face twice a day with a warm water and a mild soap or cleanser.
Teens prone to acne should use a wash that includes salicylic acid to control oil production and/or a benzyl peroxide to treat pimples. We carry NeoCeuticals Antibacterial Facial Cleanser, a moisturizing, soap-free, foaming gel that is especially suited for use on oily and acne-prone skin.
Teens with more sensitive or skin that is a bit on the dry side should use products with more soothing ingredients like aloe vera. Abrams Dermatology has Neostrata Facial Cleanser, an oil-free and soap-free, non-drying cleanser that we make available to our patients. You can also go to your local department or drug store and find other mild less drying soaps like Dove, Neutrogena Dry Skin Formula (unscented), Aveeno Cleansing Bar for Dry Skin, and Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.
Protect Your Skin
Products that treat acne can cause your skin to dry. It is important to use an oil-free moisturizer to replenish your skin's moisture balance. It is always best to use a moisturizer that contains an effective sunscreen, especially for the face. Neostrata Oil Free Lotion - SPF 15 is a oil-free moisturizer with sunscreen that we have available for patients.
Don't forget sunscreen!!! The sun is very damaging to anyone's skin and can cause skin cancer. Teenagers should always use sunscreen before heading outdoors. It's a good idea for teenagers to get into the habit of applying sunscreen everyday as part of their morning routine.
Dermatologists usually have available samples of many skin care products to give to their patients. Feel free to grab a few the next time you have your skin exam.
Acne Treatments
There are a number of effective acne treatments for mild to moderate acne. I always recommend you see a dermatologist to ensure you receive the proper treatment for your acne. As a dermatologist, I offer a variety of treatment options, like medication, products, facials and laser treatments that can usually clear up even the most stubborn cases of acne.
One new product offered by Obagi is CLENZIderm M.D., a prescription-strength acne therapeutic system available at Abrams Dermatology. This three-step system, CLENZIderm M.D. uses a smaller liquid form of benzoyl peroxide to effectively penetrate the skin. Ask your dermatologist if CLENZIderm M.D. is the right treatment option for you.
Do's and Don'ts
Don't:
Pop a pimple! Popping a pimple can lead to scarring.
Use a harsh soap to wash your face.
Stay in the sun without proper protection.
Worry too much. Everyone experiences an occasional breakout.
Do:
Keep your skin clean.
Ensure you use an effective sunscreen.
Watch for and treat pimples correctly.
Eat a healthy diet that includes fruit, vegetables, and plenty of water.
See a dermatologist to receive proper skin care treatment.

Along with the deluge of new information and insight into the microbiological functions of human skin that has been gained in recent years, has come a veritable cornucopia of anti aging wrinkle creams, developed as a direct result of this new information. Todays developmental medical researchers are able to access newly discovered and synthesized substances that directly target areas and functions of the skin that are the core cause of skin wrinkles.
New Active Ingredients - New Strategies
Where as in past decades, anti aging wrinkle creams functioned by merely glossing over skin surface issues with oils such as lanolin. Todays anti aging wrinkle creams contain powerful chemically engineered substances that effectively bypass the skins outer protective epidermal layer and target the source of surface issues, such as wrinkles, in the living tissues of the dermal layer.
Powerful Active Ingredients - Occasional Side Effects
There is an ever growing list of chemicals and substances that are available for developmental researchers to stock their arsenals with. They run the gamut from harsh, yet highly effective synthesized chemical agents, to more benign natural derivatives. It is for this very reason that many manufacturers of anti aging wrinkle creams now recommend regimens that include skin treatment products specifically for treating the unwelcome side effects of new, more powerful anti aging wrinkle creams.
Slowing Down the Aging Process - Naturally
Once you reach adulthood, the production of this hormone and many others in the body decline gradually. This means that the regeneration and repair of cells becomes slower and many cells die, incapacitating the tissues in both looks and functionality. Though this process is very gradual, it is recognizable, especially on the delicate skin of the face and hands.

Beauty is skin deep. To have a beautiful glowing skin with a clear complexion and an even skin tone is an achievement. Hectic lifestyles, exposure to the sun, weather changes - all these factors target our skin first. And we start looking old at the prime of our youth.
Our skin is the largest organ of our body. And this organ needs to be treated and taken care of. Skin health and rejuvenation is the buzz of the hour, the talk of the town. Obagi skin care has caused a stir in the field of skin health with its strategy of treating the root-cause and working at the cellular level. Unlike other skin care products, Obagi does not provide just superficial treatment. The USP of Obagi treatment is that it works on the skin from the inside so that the effects are visible on the outside. And the effects of this treatment are long term.
Obagi skin care treatments aim at improving the blood circulation and promote cell renewal and regeneration. Conditions like roughness, dryness, hyperpigmentation are treated from the outer level of the skin. These treatments stimulate the two fibrous proteins collagen and elastin which contribute to the tone, texture and elasticity of the skin. The skin feels nourished and its natural moisture reserves are refreshed.
The Obagi Nu Derm Skin Health System and Obagi Blue Peels are two products that dominate the Skin Care revolution. Various skin discoloration problems such as ageing lines, acne scars and melasma are treated by the Obagi Nu Derm system. This method comprises both Mild and HQ systems which work in conjunction with a moisturizer, an eye cream and an application to fade dark spots. This strategy helps in achieving a young and healthy skin sans scars and blemishes - a totally rejuvenated look.
Another method applied to restore beauty and revitalize the skin is the Obagi Blue Peels. This product accelerates regeneration of cells and aids in the removal of dead cells. The Obagi Blue Peels method works best on skin types prone to conditions like blemishes, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, sun damage, acne, and so on. These chemical peels are used for those desiring faster results. These peels use Trichloroacetic acid as the primary ingredient. A word of caution for those seeking Obagi Blue Peels treatment - make sure you get treated by professionals. Applications of these chemical peels are decided after analyzing the skin type and the extent of skin damage. Professionals decide on the strength of the chemical mix based on the skin types. You have every right to ask the professional about the potential risks and complications involved in application of these peels.
Obagi Blue Peels are best used in conjunction with the Obagi Nu Derm Skin Health system, and deliver best results in the form of a rejuvenated and healthy looking skin.

Obagi, a proven high-end skin care line has introduced a new solution for acne sufferers. The Obagi CLENZIderm system is a prescription strength acne therapeutic system. Obagi's acne treatment is the only acne product that uses a liquid form of benzoyl peroxide, which does a better job than tradition treatments which use less soluble benzoyl peroxide crystals. For this reason, CLENZIderm's active ingredients are absorbed more fully by the skin and begin working on acne under the skin, rather than just the acne above the skin's surface. It has been clinically proven to lead to visible acne reduction in as little as two weeks.
Obagi acne products may work, but they aren't cheap. The average retail price for the whole three-step system is 5.00. Each step is sold separately for .95. Most acne sufferers are teenagers and young adults who can not afford to spend 5.00 every couple of months on skin care products.
Step One of the system, the Obagi Clenziderm Daily Care Cream Cleanser removes dirt, oil and makeup while moisturizing and soothing the skin. It is basically a simple cleanser with a little lavender extract to help sooth the skin. Similar and less expensive cleansers include the dermatologists' staple, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Aveeno Clear Complexion Cleansing Bar is another far less expensive cleansing option. This face wash, like many acne fighting cleansing products, include salicyclic acid. The Obagi acne cleanser does not include salicyclic acid which may make it less effective at unclogging pores.
Step Two in Obagi's battle against acne employs the Obagi Clenziderm Therapeutic Lotion. Because it includes a liquid form of benzoyl peroxide, it serves as a better anti-acne agent than drugstore brands and less expensive products. However, products like Neutrogena On the Spot Vanishing Formula contain the same amount of benzoyl peroxide for less money, and MD Formulations Benzoyl Peroxide 10 contains twice as much benzoyl peroxide, also at a lesser cost. Furthermore, as many as 60 percent of acne patients suffer from antibiotic-resistant acne strains, so antibacterial agents like benzoyl peroxide may not work. Also, although the directions advise otherwise, you may not want to aply the Therapeutic Lotion all over your face. Benzoyl peroxide is a drying agent, and for many people it may be better used as a spot treatment.
Finally, the last step in the Obagi acne treatment regimen is to apply the Clenziderm Therapeutic Moisturizer to hydrate and protect the skin. The product is almost identical to less expensive oil-free moisturizers that cost significantly less. It does not contain any anti-aging antioxidants or even sunscreen, so it is unclear why the cost is so high. Although it smells nice and goes nicely with the other Obagi acne care products in your medicine cabinet, it doesn't make sense for your wallet.
