Dull Skin and Glow

What this is for

Dullness comes from built-up dead skin, dehydration, sun and stress. Vitamin C, gentle exfoliation and renewal serums bring back brightness and a healthy glow.

Which product to choose

• Vitamin C serum: Obagi Professional-C 10% Serum 30ml if you are new to vitamin C or sensitive, 15% for most people, 20% if your skin is already used to it.

• Kits: Obagi Brightening Duo: Professional-C Serum 15% or 20% Kit.

• Weekly glow: Obagi Professional-C Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask 80g.

• Full vitamin C routine: Obagi-C Fx System, or build it from Obagi-C Rx Cleansing Gel 180ml, Obagi-C Rx Balancing Toner, Obagi-C Fx Clarifying Serum 30ml and Obagi-C Rx Exfoliating Day Lotion 57g.

• Tired-looking skin: Obagi Nu-Gen Cellular Renewal Serum.

• Sensitive skin: SUZANObagiMD Claribright Radiance Brightening Lotion 50g.

How to use

• Vitamin C in the morning on clean, dry skin, before moisturiser and SPF. A tingle for under a minute is normal.

• Polish + Mask once or twice a week, not on the same day as other exfoliants or retinol.

• Nu-Gen morning and evening before moisturiser.

• SPF every day. Vitamin C works alongside sunscreen, not instead of it.

• Keep vitamin C closed and away from heat and light.

What to expect

Brighter, fresher skin within 2 to 4 weeks and more even tone at 8 to 12 weeks. Stop if stinging lasts more than a minute or redness stays.

Prescription options

When dullness comes with uneven tone or rough texture, prescription vitamin A treatment can give a bigger change. We can discuss it at your consultation.
