    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Obagi Blender, manufactured by Obagi Medical Products Inc., is a skin care lotion designed to even skin tone and lighten dark skin.

    Function

    The main ingredient in Obagi Blender is hydroquinone, an organic chemical compound known to decrease the formation of melanin, which is the pigment that makes skin dark.

    Benefits

    Obagi Blender lightens dark spots on the skin, improves acne and refines overall skin texture. It corrects skin tone at the cellular level, and it's been formulated to work with Retin-A, a popular acne medication.

    Uses

    When mixed with tretinoin, the acid form of vitamin A found in Retin-A, Obagi Blender stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to promote skin elasticity.

    Effects

    Initial use of Obagi Blender may lead to some temporary burning, stinging, redness and skin peeling. There's also a risk of allergic reaction, with symptoms including hives, rash and swelling of the face, mouth and throat.

    Warning

    Lightening the skin may increase the risk of UV damage and skin cancer. There remains serious debate as to whether or not hydroquinone itself is a carcinogen. Hydroquinone has been linked to ochronosis, which is a condition causing thickening and discoloration of the skin.

    Obagi Blender is another in the world-renowned Obagi skin care product line, and is a powerful skin care product used for reducing and repairing discoloration of the skin. Many of us suffer from the damaging affects of the sun's rays, often resulting in sun spots, freckles, and other skin blemishes. Many more suffer from ongoing acne, rosacia, or age related skin discoloration. This remarkable skin care product will help you achieve the flawless, clear skin you have always wanted.

    What is Obagi Blender?

    Obagi Blender is a topical cream composed of a unique blend of 4% hydroquinone blended with water, glycerin, lactic acid, cetyl alcohol, and other common skin care ingredients. Since the purpose of this product is to improve complexion and eliminate skin blemishes, Hydroquinone is the primary active ingredient and is an excellent substance for accomplishing this objective. Hydroquinone was first authorized by the FDA as a skin treatment in 1982 and is used in clinical strength skin treatment medications for lightening pigmentation in general. Hydroquinone works to limit the production of melanin in the skin, which is how it is able to clear up blemishes and uneven skin tones. Lactic acid is a derived from milk products and has been used for centuries as a ready means for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and as a skin moisturizer and exfoliant.

    What are the Benefits of Using Obagi Blender?

    Using this product in conjunction with your regular skin care regimen and under the proper monitoring of your dermatologist will provide dramatic results over time. Here are some of the benefits of using Obagi Blender to improve your complexion.

    Diminishes redness and inflammation associated with acne, rosacea and other skin blemishes.
    Stimulates the production of collagen, resulting in a smoother more elastic skin surface.
    Repairs sun damage, photoaging, and age related blemishes.
    Reduces the appearance of freckles and discoloration,
    Rejuvenates fine lines and wrinkles.
    Restores uneven pigmentation and brown spots.

    The Obagi Blender Bottom Line:

    The philosophical approach of Dr. Zein Obagi has always been one of systematic therapeutic treatment, so Obagi Blender is actually part of the Obagi Nu-Derm system.

    However, this does not mean you must use it conjunction with a whole list of other products. Under the proper care and guidance of an qualified skin care professional, you can purchase and begin using Obagi Blender to reduce acne related redness and irritation along with other skin pigmentation spots and blemishes.
