Obagi Medical was the first medi-grade range of skincare available and is still considered to be a front runner amongst clinical brands. It’s mainly only available directly from clinics (though there are some online specialised retailers that are starting to sell it) and this is because some of the products are only available on prescription or contain a high level actives.  Therefore, solid advice is needed to get the best the results and nurses and doctors can be counted on to provide this. There are 3 products in the Elastiderm series – a cream, a gel and a rollerball serum. Though the cream is recommended for night and the gel for daytime I prefer the light texture of the gel for both day and night. I also like the pump dispenser the gel comes in better than the jar that comes with the cream. The serum is perfect for a refresh during the day and has caffeine in it which is great for puffiness.
