Description

Obagi Professional-C Serum 10% is a daily Vitamin C antioxidant that improves signs of photo-ageing by helping to smooth texture, even skin tone, stimulate collagen synthesis and improve pigmentation. It helps to reduce inflammation of the skin and gives the skin a youthful radiance. This concentrated formulation is for dry, sensitive, reactive skins.

Key ingredients include L-Ascorbic Acid 10% which is Vitamin C in its purest form. It provides antioxidant protection and has superior absorption into the epidermis and deep penetration into the dermal layer due to its low pH which enables it to stay stable for a longer period of time in these layers. It does not leave an oily layer on the skin due to its deep penetration. Avoid direct contact with the mucous membranes. It also enhances UV protection and will not cause any irritation on the skin. Contains a fragrance.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: Obagi Professional-C Serum 10% is a very impressive serum – not only does it provide hydration but it also protects against environmental aggressors and helps to suppress pigmentation brought on by the sun. It also helps improve impaired barrier functioning, making the skin more tolerable for the application of additional active products. Radiant, smooth skin with an even skin tone are the extra bonuses of this very popular serum. Always use sunscreen over this product during the day.

Summary

Strength: 10% L-Ascorbic Acid

Size: 30ml

How to Use
  • Apply a few drops of serum to the face and/or neck the morning after cleansing and allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser and sunscreen.
  • First time users should always introduce this product slowly until the skin is tolerant. If any irritation occurs use less often and build up tolerance.
  • Do not be tempted to overuse this serum. Once a day in the morning is recommended.
  • This product does not contain a sunscreen. It is especially important to always apply a sunscreen in the morning when using active ingredient products.

    I’ve tried a few vitamin C serums and this is by far the best. Absolutely adore the smell and texture. It instantly brightens my skin in the morning. It’s the best part of my skin routine. Have re-bought a number of times.

    Absolutely love this serum! A little goes a long way. The best part is that it doesn’t feel weird on the face, the product absorbs nicely into the skin.
    I can definitely see a difference with my hyperpigmentation! On my second bottle already, definitely want to try the 15% strength one.

    Love this product, im new to products with active ingredients, but my skin adjusted very well, can see a difference in moisture levels and love the smell, will definately continue using it and move up to the higher levels of L-ascorbic acid as my skin adjusts.

    This product is now one of my must-have staples. I have noticed a remarkable improvement in my skin since using this – it looks much healthier, brighter and smoother. I’m on my second bottle and will up a notch to the 15% for my next purchase.

    Absolutely love this serum! Great for sensitive skin or anyone who wants to start incorporating active ingredients in their skincare routine. This is my first vitamin c serum and it has done wonderful things to my skin. My skin feels brighter, smoother and hydrated. I was mostly concerned about my skin reacting to the active product but it has worked amazingly and have had no reaction at all since first use. Will definitely be trying the 15% next time.

    At the age of 27, and with all the rave about investing in your skincare regime I decided to add an Antioxidant serum to my daily routine. I researched many brands and the Obagi – Professional C serum came up highly recommended. I have oily to combination skin and am generally prone to breakouts, so I was a little nervous when I found the texture of the serum to be slightly oil based. However it absorbs into the skin thoroughly and does not leave any greasy or oily residue (I swear by this!) Your skin is left felt feeling slightly hydrated and soft. After just 2 weeks of daily use I have definitely noticed an improvement in my skins complexion. I have not experienced any sensitivity or breakouts with this product and will most likely opt for the 20% dose at my next purchase.
