Thanks a lot, Obagi Elastiderm Night Eye Cream!

This product is quiet amazing, really! I had severe sun damage around my eyes which makes me look at least 5 years older. I am looking for a job but the outcome of interview always let me down since the first visible signs of my eyes are unfavorable which seems to be dim and sickly.

However, things had changed after I used Obagi Elastiderm Night Eye Cream for 3 weeks. No words can express how pleased I am now since I had solved the sun damage problem that I worried for years! The way to use it is rather simple—just apply to the sensitive skin around the eyes as often as needed, following the brow bone and the pock ets beneath the eyes. I use it twice a day: one is before siesta while another is before going to bed at night since I believe the skin can absorb the component of eye cream and renew itself as much as possible when you are asleep.

The fact proves that I am right. My eyes look younger, brighter owing to the healthier looking skin around them and that is exactly what I dreamed 3 weeks ago. Fortunately, I got a good job recently since my first impression given to the interviewer is full of energy! WOW, it is really a perfect experience!

I have recommended this Obagi Elastiderm Night Eye Cream to my mum and sister and both of them feel it is working, so I recommend it to you if you are still worried about your droopy eyes! Try it and say goodbye to droopy eyes and welcome your lighter and brighter skin! Thanks a lot to Obagi Elastiderm Night Eye Cream,really!!

Obagi Elastiderm – Reduce Wrinkles and Restore Elasticity

Obagi Elastiderm uses a breakthrough bi-mineral complex that helps replenish elastin, build collagen, and cross-link them both. This results in the skin achieving functional elasticity, lift, snap, and resilience. Obagi Elastiderm is a complementary anti-aging, non-irritating solution to Obagi’s skincare systems.

To understand how Obagi Elastiderm works, you need to first understand what elastin and collagen do. The skin comprises approximately 70% collagen and only 2% to 4% elastin. Elastin is a protein and the major component of elastic fibers. This protein is rarely replaced in the human body and is capable of lasting the entire lifespan in undisturbed tissues. Elastin is different than collagen, in that elastin provides elasticity while collagen provides tensile strength to the skin. Collagen synthesis decreases gradually over time, while elastin synthesis decreases after puberty.

Skin aging occurs in two distinct processes: 1) intrinsic aging or chronological aging, and 2) extrinsic aging or photoaging. Chronological aging results in the steady degradation of cutaneous tissue over time. Photoaging results in increased solar elastosis and reduced production of collagen. Solar elastosis occurs due to chronic exposure to sunlight, which eventually will result in wrinkled and lax skin. Damage to or loss of elastic fibers in adult skin is permanent if left untreated.

Obagi Elastiderm is a one of a kind eye treatment, which has been clinically proven to help restore elasticity to the skin around the eyes and reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles in as little as two weeks. The Obagi Elastiderm products are not moisturizers; they are periocular anti-aging therapies that contain malonic acid and a proprietary bi-mineral complex. The components of Obagi Elastiderm help: 1) stimulate the proliferation of healthy new dermal fibroblast cells, 2) stimulate the new production of elastin and collagen precursor proteins, and 3) cross-link elastin and collagen precursor proteins in the skin into functional insoluble elastin and collagen fibers.

Obagi Medical designed a clinical study involving 33 females between the ages of 45 and 70 years old. The study was an 8 week in-use study with measurements conducted every two weeks and one week post-treatment. Obagi Elastiderm was used twice daily around the eyes after washing the face. Subjects were instructed not to use any other products around the eyes during the study and one week thereafter. Lastly, subjects were also told to avoid excessive sun exposure. The clinical results are as follows: 23% increase in elasticity after only two weeks, 46% increase in elasticity after nine weeks, 55% decrease in wrinkles after four weeks, 79% of subjects experienced rapid results in four weeks, and 79% of subjects reported better results than those achieved using other products.

Obagi Elastiderm comes in either an eye cream or eye gel. The eye cream is usually favored by patients who have normal to dry skin, or live in or frequent cooler climates. The eye gel is usually favored by patients who have normal to oily skin, and live in or frequent topical or humid climates. Both the eye cream and day gel are non-comedogenic, will not irritate the skin, and are safe to use. The Obagi Elastiderm products are designed to be used around the eyes, but, can also be safely applied to other areas of the face.
