Daily exfoliation will remove dead skin cells revealing fresh new cells below. This prepares the skin for the products that follow, to penetrate more deeply into the skin, which will aid in their effectiveness.

Obagi® offer multiple exfoliating products for different skin types. They use either a chemical or mechanical stimulation (or both) to help increase natural skin turnover. Obagi® Exfoliators work via chemical stimulation using alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to remove dead skin cells, while mechanical stimulation products use a physical substance (like biodegradable beads or granules) to manually scrub the top layer of the skin.
