aThe original Blue Peel is one of the most effective professional peels on the market, but is not appropriate for many patients in many situations. Blue Peel RADIANCE provides our physician accounts a flexible, easy-to-use option that can be used successfully on nearly all skin types,a Jim Hartman, Vice President of Global Marketing and Business Development at Obagi Medical, said. aAs for the new sunscreen, we believe sun protection is the most important component of any skin health regimen, but many consumers still do not use sunscreen every day. This new line extension provides a high level of sun protection in an elegant, sheer formula that can be used daily by patients with nearly any skin type with or without makeup.a

A salicylic acid-based peel, Blue Peel RADIANCE utilizes a unique blend of acids and other soothing ingredients for a potent combination that exfoliates, evens out skin tone and improves overall complexion, with little-to-no downtime. Skin may be tighter, smoother and brighter-looking after just one application. In a recent clinical assessment, 92 percent of patients saw an improvement in their skin texture after just one peel.1 Blue Peel RADIANCE is a professional product for in-office procedures only and will be sold exclusively to professionals.

Nu-Derm Sun Shield SPF 50 combines UVB absorption and UVA blockage for high sunscreen protection in and elegant, matte finish that can be used on nearly all skin types. Nu-Derm Sun Shield SPF 50 features the active ingredients Zinc Oxide (10.5%) and Octinoxate (7.5%).
