Obagi & The Truth About Skincare

Discover the Power of Obagi at The Green Room Clinic

Introducing

Obagi Skincare

After nearly twenty years of working in medical aesthetics, one of the biggest things I’ve learnt is that most people aren’t struggling with their skin because they haven’t found the right product. They’re struggling because nobody has ever properly explained what is actually happening within their skin and, more importantly, given them a structured plan to address it.

Every week women arrive at The Green Room Clinic carrying bags full of skincare products. Some have spent hundreds of pounds, some have spent thousands, and most are completely overwhelmed. They’re using products recommended by friends, products they saw on social media, products a beauty therapist suggested five years ago, and products they bought at 11 o’clock at night because somebody on TikTok promised it would change their skin forever.

The problem isn’t that these women aren’t trying. In fact, most of them are trying incredibly hard. The problem is that the skincare industry has become so noisy that it’s almost impossible to know who to listen to anymore. Every brand claims to be revolutionary, every serum claims to be the next miracle ingredient, and every influencer seems to have discovered the secret to younger-looking skin.

As someone who has spent almost two decades assessing skin, prescribing skincare and treating everything from acne and rosacea to pigmentation and age-related changes, I can tell you that beautiful skin is rarely the result of a miracle product. More often than not, it’s the result of a well-structured plan, consistency, and using the right ingredients for the right person at the right time.

That is exactly why I chose to work with Obagi.

Why I Chose Obagi

Obagi?

Over the years I’ve worked with a lot of skincare brands. Some have been excellent, some have been average, and some have promised far more than they’ve ever delivered. The reason Obagi has remained a constant throughout my career is because it continues to do exactly what I need it to do: produce genuine, measurable changes in the skin.

I’m not particularly interested in products that make the skin feel nice for a few hours, smell lovely on a dressing table, or come in beautiful packaging. What interests me is whether a product can help improve pigmentation, reduce acne, strengthen the skin, improve texture, stimulate collagen production and create long-term change. Obagi does exactly that.

For over thirty years, Obagi has been recognised worldwide as one of the leading medical skincare systems used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aesthetic practitioners. Unlike many cosmetic skincare brands, Obagi was developed to improve the way the skin functions at a cellular level, helping to correct damage rather than simply disguising it.

Whether I’m treating pigmentation caused by years of sun exposure, helping a patient regain confidence after struggling with acne, or supporting somebody who wants to improve fine lines and skin quality as they age, Obagi consistently delivers results that I can see both in clinic and in photographs.

Over the last eighteen years I’ve worked with countless skincare brands, ranging from luxury beauty-counter products through to prescription-strength medical skincare. Some have been good, some have been average, and some have promised far more than they have ever delivered. The reason Obagi has remained a constant throughout my career is because it consistently produces genuine, measurable changes in the skin.

As a Nurse Prescriber, I’m not particularly interested in products that simply make the skin feel nice for a few hours or come in beautiful packaging. What interests me is whether a product can improve pigmentation, help clear acne, stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality and create long-term results. Time and time again, Obagi continues to deliver exactly that.

What our Clients say

“I started getting acne as a teenager, i used Roaccutane, but they still kept coming back. About 12 months ago my skin broke out BAD. My jaw line looked horrific and I was mortified. No type of makeup was covering this acne. It was worse than when I was in School – and that was pretty traumatising. I went to Rebecca and begged for help AND she was not only was extremely understanding but was also considerate of what I was spending because honestly, I couldn’t spend a fortune on getting my skin cleared up. But to my absolute surprise the cream was only £35 and lasted ages! She suggested a combination of AHA chemical peels, DermaRoller and Home skin care. I would HIGHLY recommend her and would go for another round of treatments the next time I need a freshened up look or help clearing my skin.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Obagi Skincare

If you’re considering Obagi skincare, it’s natural to have questions about how it works, what results you can expect, and whether it’s the right choice for your skin. As a clinically proven, medical-grade system, Obagi offers targeted solutions for a wide range of concerns, from pigmentation and acne to signs of ageing and overall skin health. Below, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand the treatment and feel confident in making an informed decision.

Obagi is a medical-grade skincare system developed by dermatologists to improve skin health at a cellular level. Unlike over-the-counter products, Obagi uses clinically proven ingredients to correct underlying skin concerns such as ageing, acne, and pigmentation.

Obagi treatments can significantly improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. Key benefits include reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving hyperpigmentation, treating acne, and boosting collagen production for firmer, healthier-looking skin.

Obagi works by penetrating deeper layers of the skin to increase cell turnover and stimulate renewal. It removes old, damaged skin cells and replaces them with new, healthy ones, helping to restore a more youthful and even complexion.

Obagi is highly effective for a wide range of concerns, including hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, acne, fine lines, uneven texture, and dull skin. It is suitable for both preventative and corrective skincare.

Yes, Obagi is suitable for most skin types and tones. Your practitioner will tailor a programme to your individual skin concerns, ensuring safe and effective results regardless of whether your skin is oily, dry, or sensitive.

Yes, a consultation is essential. Many Obagi products contain prescription-strength ingredients such as retinoids or hydroquinone, so a qualified practitioner must assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan.

Obagi is typically followed as a structured skincare routine at home. During the early stages, you may experience dryness, redness, or peeling, this is a normal part of the skin renewal process and indicates the treatment is working.

Most clients begin to see visible improvements within 4–6 weeks, with more significant results developing over a 12-week programme as the skin regenerates and becomes healthier.

There is minimal downtime, but you may experience temporary redness, dryness, or flaking as your skin adjusts. These effects are expected and typically subside as your skin becomes healthier and more resilient.

Obagi is considered one of the most effective medical-grade skincare systems due to its clinically backed ingredients and long-term results. It is ideal for those looking for a results-driven, professional skincare solution rather than cosmetic-only products.

Unlike standard skincare products that work on the surface, Obagi targets the deeper layers of the skin to correct underlying issues. This makes it more effective for long-term skin transformation rather than temporary improvements.
