Why Hydration is Essential for Every Skin Type
Whether you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, proper hydration is the foundation of a healthy, glowing complexion. Obagi's Hydrate collection offers medical-grade moisture solutions that adapt to your skin's changing needs and actively support your skin barrier for long-term comfort and visible improvement.
Many people mistakenly believe oily or acne-prone skin doesn't need moisturiser. In fact, dehydration can actually prompt more oil production, leading to even greater imbalances. Obagi Hydrate products are formulated to keep hydration levels stable without clogging pores or leaving any greasy residue. They’re suitable for every skin type—including those on acne protocols, post-procedure recovery, or long-haul travel.
Key Ingredients in Obagi Hydrate Products
The Obagi Hydrate range uses clinically proven ingredients that penetrate deeply and lock in moisture at the cellular level:
- Hyaluronic Acid: Attracts and holds up to 1000x its weight in water, actively hydrating the skin beneath the surface layers.
- Shea Butter: A rich, nourishing emollient that softens rough patches and repairs the barrier, without feeling heavy.
- Glycerin: A powerhouse humectant that draws moisture from the environment and binds it within the skin.
- Avocado & Mango Extracts: Natural oils packed with vitamins and fatty acids to support resilience, elasticity, and protection.
- Hydromanil: Found in Hydrate Luxe, delivers both immediate and sustained moisture by forming a protective film on the skin’s surface.
How to Use Obagi Hydrate for Maximum Results
- Daily Moisturising: Apply morning and night after serums or treatments, smoothing evenly over face and neck.
- Post-Procedure Recovery: Hydrate is gentle enough for use directly after peels, microneedling, or laser to speed healing and comfort irritation.
- Eye Area Care: Pat a small amount of Hydrate or Hydrate Luxe gently around the orbital bone as your final skincare step.
Hydrate or Hydrate Luxe: Which is Right for Your Skin?
- Obagi Hydrate: Lightweight yet powerful, suitable for all skin types and daily use year-round. Excellent under makeup or sunscreen.
- Obagi Hydrate Luxe: Offers deeper, long-lasting hydration for dry, mature, post-procedure, or winter skin. Use overnight or anytime your skin feels extra thirsty.
