Obagi Refining Night Cream
The New Obagi Product: Obagi Refining Night Cream with Retinol and PHA
Obagi is one of the leading brands in the world of science-backed professional skincare. Over the years, they have worked incredibly hard to formulate transformative skincare products featuring ingredients that target a number of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
The Refining Night Cream with Retinol and PHA is one of the latest additions to the Obagi line-up, so let's explore what it does, the ingredients it contains, and who could benefit the most from incorporating it into their skincare routine.
What is the Obagi Refining Night Cream with Retinol and PHA?
Designed to work overnight as you sleep, this nourishing night cream is formulated to refine the texture and tone of your skin while also minimising the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes. In just four weeks, you can expect your skin to look visibly resurfaced, clearer and smoother.
What are the Ingredients?
The formula contains something called Entrapped Retinol. It has slow-release technology, which ensures that the retinol can penetrate effectively into the deeper layers of the skin where it can promote skin cell turnover.
Another key ingredient of this night cream is Polyhydroxy Acid or Gluconolactone, which gently yet effectively exfoliates the surface layers of skin for a visibly refined appearance. This gentle chemical exfoliant also helps to boost skin hydration by removing dead skin cells and allowing potent hydrators to penetrate.
The formula also contains eight highly nourishing ingredients to ensure the skin remains properly hydrated, including:
- Vitamin E
As well as providing nourishing properties, vitamin E is also a potent antioxidant which helps to shield the skin from oxidative damage.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
Derived from hyaluronic acid, this humectant has potent hydration abilities and helps to lock in moisture.
- Squalane
This lipid works to improve skin texture and hydration. It also mimics the sebum that can be found in the skin, which prevents moisture loss and contributes to a healthy skin barrier.
- Shea Butter
This nourishing emollient contains naturally high levels of vitamins E and A, which work to deliver a hit of hydration by softening the skin and locking in moisture.
What Results Can I Expect From the Refining Night Cream with Retinol and PHA?
Following an eight week clinical test, the Refining Night Cream with Retinol and PHA has been clinically proven to visibly improve the evenness of skin by 10% and improve the smoothness of skin by 29%. The clinical test also found that this night cream is well-tolerated by a variety of skin types, making it a positive addition to a comprehensive night time skincare routine.
With consistent use, you can expect to see increased skin clarity, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and skin that looks more even both in tone and texture. This gentle formula is suitable for nightly use, and it will help to soothe and hydrate while also reducing blemishes.
Is the Refining Night Cream with Retinol and PHA Suitable for My Skin?
Obagi does a great job when it comes to formulating products that are suitable for a variety of skin types, and the Refining Night Cream is suitable for normal to dry, normal to oily, and combination skin.
