Obagi Exfoderm - An Exfoliant - Here's How it Helps You
by: Sarah Gold

Obagi Exfoderm is an exfoliating lotion, also referred to as an exfoliant. What does this mean and what exactly does it accomplish with our skin? In this article, I will talk about exfoliants in general and then Obagi Exfoderm in particular.

There's a natural physiological process called skin exfoliation. That happens when dead skin cells fall off and you're able to see the newer, smoother skin from underneath. This process happens naturally and on its own; however, sometimes some help is needed, especially with mature, older skin. If you're using the Obagi Nu-Derm system of skin care which includes the use of tretinoin or even if you're just using tretinoin (retin - a) on its own, you know what the peeling skin looks like. If you want the peeling and flaking to go even faster, you can use Obagi Exfoderm which exfoliates the skin and works together with the other products in the Obagi Nu-Derm line of skin care.

If the hyper-pigmented, blemished skin falls off faster, then you'll be able to see the new, younger looking skin faster too. Using an exfoliating lotion will definitely speed the flaking up a bit; use it with caution though. You probably will become red - this is very normal. If you see excessive redness and it really irritates you, stop using it. Exfoderm together with the tretinoin can be quite strong and can bother some people with really sensitive skin.

It's good to know beforehand that when using an exfoliant your skin will probably become worse before it will become better. That's because the old, blemished skin needs to peel and fall of prior to revealing the smoother skin from below.

If you have very oily, thick skin Obagi Exfoderm Forte might be better for you. It contains glycolic acid which is stronger than the phytic acid used in Obagi Exfoderm.

When using an exfoliant your objective is to get rid of dead skin cells from your skin's surface. Generally, if you use an exfoliant regularly your skin will be able to absorb moisture better and your fine lines will diminish. If you use Obagi products it is recommended that you apply the Obagi Exfoderm once a day after the application of Obagi Clear. Good Luck in your quest for clear skin and don't give up. Sometimes you have to try out a few things until you find the right one for you.
