About Dr. Zein Obagi

Researcher, innovator, scientist, published author, and board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Obagi has achieved international renown as a leading authority on skin rejuvenation. He ranks as the world’s best known chemical peel expert. Dr. Obagi, pioneered the concept of maintaining and improving healthy skin (as opposed to focusing on treating only one aspect of diseased skin), and he is known as a leading expert in treating ethnic skin, tackling the most difficult and hard-to-treat cases from around the world.

After completing this dermatology residency while serving in the United States Navy, Dr. Obagi embarked on his dermatology practice in 1981. His practice has been located in Beverly Hills since 1989- the aesthetics capitol of the world. Dr. Obagi has developed a series of definitive prevention and maintenance programs that have revolutionized skin restoration treatments and contributed to our understanding of skin health.

Dr. Obagi has trained and lectured to thousands of plastic surgeons and dermatologists at scientific forums worldwide; in addition, he provides clinical services and physician-training programs on-site at various Obagi-based medical centers on six continents. As a result, his principles for restoring skin health today are considered the gold standard in skin care.

Dr. Obagi’s signature treatments are system-oriented and therapeutic onsite and home-use protocols that he developed and patented. One of his token medical treatments is based on the concept of the controlled, variable-depth Obagi® peel that is performed alone or in combination with laser treatments, offering a viable non-surgical alternative to plastic surgery procedures.

In 2008, Dr. Obagi developed ZO Skin Health™, individualized skin care that focuses on prevention and maintenance, and bridges the gap between his stronger medical program and over-the-counter skincare.

ZO Skin Health products utilize the most potent ingredients in high concentrations, pure retinol, advanced peptides, and powerful antioxidants. ZO Skin Health™ products work from the inside out, activating and stimulating your skin’s cells to nourish, repair, and maintain healthy skin.
