Blemish + Age Defense Serum
Blemish + Age Defense is a targeted, oil-free approach for ageing skin prone to breakouts. This first-to-market salicylic acid blend combines 2% dioic acid with an optimal alpha- and beta-hydroxy acid formulation to reduce the formation of clogged pores, while improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. For more information, refer to the study on Evaluation of the Antioxidant Capacity and Protective Effects.
Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte
Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte is a lightweight lotion with glycolic and lactic acids that exfoliates and removes old dull skin while promoting natural skin turnover for a noticeably smoother, brighter complexion for normal to oily skin types. Research has shown that the use of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic and lactic acid can significantly improve skin texture and promote cell turnover. A study published in the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation's Skin Products Assessment Research study demonstrated the efficacy of such products in enhancing skin resurfacing outcomes.
