Oily Skin -CausesThe over production of sebum or oil often leaves the skin looking shiny and greasy rather than healthy and vibrant. Over production of sebum can be provoked by a number of factors, including physical and emotional stress, over washing and scrubbing of the skin, or using overly harsh soaps and face washes. |

Oily Skin - TreatmentsMany over the counter products formulated to help with oily skin don’t contain the right ingredients to penetrate deep enough to help address the problem. Obagi Medical Products have both a Nu-Derm System and Obagi-C® System specifically formulated for normal to oily skin, helping to transform the appearance of the skin and oil production. |
