How To Choose The Right Obagi Cleanser

How many times have you skipped the cleanser, opting for a makeup wipe instead, only to find that your skin starts to look a little dull after a few times of doing this?

Don't worry, we've all been there. But if you can start to make cleansing part of your daily skin care ritual, your skin will reward you!

Why is cleansing important?

Cleansing is essential for removing dirt and grime that may have accumulated throughout the day. It helps clear clogged pores, keeping skin looking healthy and free from impurities. It's also the first step in a skin care regimen, and really sets a good foundation for the products that follow. Cleansing should be done morning and night, and always followed up with a good toner.

Keep reading to learn which of our cleansers may be suitable for you!

SUZAN OBAGI MD ™ Foaming Cleanser

Thick microfoam gently and deeply cleanses, completely removing oil buildup, makeup and environmental impurities. Key Ingredients are Citrus Bioflavonoids, Brassica Sulforaphane, Aloe Polyphenols, and Antioxidants. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

CLENZIderm M.D. ™ Daily Care Foaming Cleanser

This one should be your go-to if you suffer from acne breakouts. This cleanser is lightweight, yet penetrates into the pores to remove dirt, oil, and debris. Salicylic acid (2%) helps to unclog pores without over-drying, while menthol provides cooling and soothing relief. Foaming properties help to wash away dead skin cells that may have accumulated in the pores, leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed.

Obagi Nu-Derm ® Gentle Cleanser

Gentle Cleanser is designed for normal to dry skin, or sensitive skin, thanks to its mild and gentle ingredients. Glycerin, apricot kernel oil, and herb extracts provide gentle hydration and beautiful nourishment to the skin, while aloe helps to soothe irritation. This cleanser will leave skin feeling balanced with just the right amount of hydration.

Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel

This gel-based cleanser is formulated for normal to oily skin. It removes excess oil without stripping the skin of essential oils, and removes any impurities or makeup, leaving nothing but clean and healthy-looking skin. It also contains aloe and herb extracts, key ingredients that will leave the skin feeling soothed, soft, and smooth!

Obagi-C ® C-Cleansing Gel

Brighter and healthier-looking skin is yours for the taking with this cleanser! It is infused with L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), and contains aloe, which will provide wonderful soothing hydration. This gel-based formula will clarify your skin, leaving it purified and refreshed.

Obagi360 ® Exfoliating Cleanser

This cleanser provides effective, yet gentle, exfoliation to keep your pores open and ready for any other products you may apply. Papaya fruit acids and biodegradable beads provide excellent exfoliation properties to reveal a soft, smooth, and radiant complexion.

Tips when cleansing

When cleansing your skin, always be sure to apply with clean hands, and to rinse with lukewarm water. Hot water will strip the skin of necessary oils, while lukewarm water will protect the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Pat your skin dry with a clean towel before following up with your other products.

Also, be sure to cleanse twice a day, and don’t rely on makeup wipes for your daily cleansing ritual.

Obagi cleanser

In love with the smell of this cleanser. Applies smoothly and washes away easily. I plan on incorporating this cleanser in my daily rituals for years to come.

This is such a great all around nice cleanser. It doesn't make my face feel tight or dried out. After using some cleansers I can't wait to get a moisturizer on. Not with Obagi Nu-derm cleanser. Works great at taking off mineral sunscreens also. That's huge! That stuff is so hard to get off my skin. It has a nice scent, not overpowering and it cleanses well. Highly recommend it.

A great gentle cleanser. Doesn’t dry out my skin.

I love this cleanser. I've been using it for years. It is perfect for my skin as well as if I use the entire body line my skin starts to glow. I would absolutely recommend. Also, I love that I can get this line through LovelySkin.

History of Moscow Oblast

The territory of the Moscow region was inhabited more than 20 thousand years ago. In the first millennium AD, this land was inhabited mostly by the Finno-Ugric peoples (Meryane and Meshchera). In the 9th-10th centuries, the Slavs began active development of the region. The population was engaged in hunting, fisheries, agriculture, and cattle breeding.

In the middle of the 12th century, the territory of the present Moscow region became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, the first towns were founded (Volokolamsk in 1135, Moscow in 1147, Zvenigorod in 1152, Dmitrov in 1154). In the first half of the 13th century, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality was conquered by the Mongols.

In the 14th-16th centuries, Moscow principality became the center of unification of Russian lands. The history of the Moscow region is inextricably linked to military events of the Time of Troubles - the siege of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery by the troops of False Dmitry II, the first and second militias.

More historical facts…

In 1708, by decree of Peter the Great, Moskovskaya gubernia (province) was established. It included most of the territory of present Moscow oblast. In 1712, St. Petersburg became the capital of the Russian Empire and the significance of the Moscow region as the country’s economic center began to decrease.

In 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place near Moscow. It was the biggest battle of the Russian-French War of 1812. In the second half of the 19th century, especially after the peasant reform of 1861, the Moscow province experienced economic growth. In 1851, the first railway connected Moscow and St. Petersburg; in 1862 - Nizhny Novgorod.

The population of the Moscow region increased significantly (in 1847 - 1.13 million people, in 1905 - 2.65 million). On the eve of the First World War, Moscow was a city with a population of more than one million people.

In November, 1917, the Soviet power was established in the region. In 1918, the country’s capital was moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow that contributed to economic recovery of the province. In the 1920s-1930s, a lot of churches located near Moscow were closed, a large number of cultural monuments were destroyed. On January 14, 1929, Moscow Oblast was formed.

In 1941-1942, one of the most important battles of the Second World War took place on the territory of the region - the Battle for Moscow. In the postwar years, the growth of economic potential of the region continued; several science cities were founded (Dubna, Troitsk, Pushchino, Chernogolovka).

In the 1990s, the economy of Moscow Oblast experienced a deep crisis. Since the 1990s, due to the motorization of the population and commuting, road traffic situation in the Moscow region significantly deteriorated. Traffic jams have become commonplace.

Moscow Oblast - Features

Moscow Oblast is located in the central part of the East European Plain, in the basin of the rivers of Volga, Oka, Klyazma, Moskva. The region stretches from north to south for 310 km, from west to east - 340 km. It was named after the city of Moscow, which however is not part of the region. Part of the administrative authorities of the region is located in Krasnogorsk.

On the territory of the Moscow region, there are 77 cities and towns, 19 of them have a population of more than 100 thousand people. The largest cities are Balashikha (518,300), Podolsk (309,600), Mytishchi (262,700), Khimky (256,300), Korolyov (225,300), Lubertsy (209,600), Krasnogorsk (174,900), Elektrostal (149,000), Odintsovo (138,900), Kolomna (136,800), Domodedovo (136,100).

The climate is temperate continental. Summers are warm, winters are moderately cold. The average temperature in January is minus 10 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 19 degrees Celsius.

One of the most important features of the local economy is its proximity to Moscow. Some of the cities (Odintsovo, Krasnogorsk, Mytishchi) have become in fact the “sleeping districts” of Moscow. The region is in second place in terms of industrial production among the regions of Russia (after Moscow).

The leading industries are food processing, engineering, chemical, metallurgy, construction. Moscow oblast has one of the largest in Russia scientific and technological complexes. Handicrafts are well developed (Gzhel ceramics, Zhostov trays, Fedoskino lacquered miniatures, toy-making).
