Starting Healthy Skin Habits Early
The teenage years bring significant skin changes—hormones surge, oil production increases, and acne often makes its first appearance. While many teens reach for harsh drugstore products, Obagi offers medical-grade solutions that address acne while establishing healthy prevention habits that benefit skin for decades to come.
Starting an effective skincare routine during adolescence isn't just about treating current breakouts—it's an investment in lifelong skin health, helping prevent early signs of aging and protecting against cumulative sun damage.
Why Teens Need More Than Drugstore Products
Teen skin is unique: it's resilient yet vulnerable, healing quickly but also susceptible to scarring and hyperpigmentation. Generic acne treatments often:
- Over-dry skin, triggering more oil production
- Contain irritating ingredients like harsh alcohols and fragrances
- Focus only on acne without addressing prevention
- Lack pharmaceutical-grade efficacy
Obagi's medical-grade formulations provide targeted treatment without unnecessary irritation, helping teens achieve clear skin while building a foundation for healthy aging.
