High-Performance Antioxidant Serum

Early & Mature Skin Ageing

SOLD OUT
ADD TO CART
Description

Obagi Professional-C Serum 15% is a high-performance antioxidant serum that helps to improve signs of skin ageing by stimulating collagen synthesis and visibly helping improve pigmentation. It helps to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps to reduce inflammation (redness). It gives the skin a youthful radiance, smooth texture, and an even skin tone. This concentrated formulation is for normal, combination, ageing skins. Not for sensitive skin.

Key ingredients include L-Ascorbic Acid 15% 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 15% is a very impressive serum overall. Not only does it provide hydration but it also protects the skin against environmental aggressors and helps to suppress pigmentation. Radiant, smooth skin with an even skin tone is the extra bonus provided by this very popular serum. First-time users should always introduce this product slowly to build up usage according to skin tolerance. Always use sunscreen over this product during the day.

Summary

Strength: 15% L-Ascorbic Acid

How to Use
  • Apply a few drops of this serum to a cleansed skin the morning and allow to absorb before applying a moisturiser and a sunscreen.

    This is the one product that I could see a visible difference in my skin tone, radiance, and much smoother texture. I’ve tried many similar products, but this one outperforms them all.

    Really love this product, it’s done amazing for my skin and reduced my hyperpigmentation. It also lasts very long if used with care.

    This serum a noticeable difference! My pores look smaller, lines softer and my skin texture has improved. Only downside is that this leaves my skin shiny, so I will try the 20% next time and hopefully that absorbs better.

    This product was a bit too strong for my skin, had to reduce to only using it once a week to prevent breakouts. Only using this serum once a week did not give me the desired results.

    My absolute favourite antioxidant (and I have tried many!) It’s easily absorbed without any weird residue, and feels super hydrating. Great for evening out tone and protecting. It’s a staple in my routine. (This serum and the Obagi vit C 30% mask are my power couple for maximum Glow). ✨

    Ordered this serum 3 times now and it’s a great product, really brightens and evens out my skin. The packaging however is disappointing and on all 3 occasions the applicator nozzle comes loose, pops out the cap and then you have to reattach it constantly. Wouldn’t be ordering this again unfortunately due to this.

    I purchased this product as an alternative to another brand that I had been using beforehand so I went in with not many expectations but goodness was I wrong! I have never used a serum that has had such amazing results before! Hands down my absolute favourite product in my routine and will repurchase again and again in future. My skin has completely evened out, has a beautiful glow to it and feels unbelievably soft and smooth. I stopped wearing makeup after a month in! I haven’t been able to leave the house without makeup until I started using this product. I cannot recommend it enough!

    Absolutely love this product! Lasts about 3 months and can definitely see and feel the difference, lightening pigmentation and giving skin an overall glow!
