The Shelf · The Treatment Room Edit
Obagi Medical Hydrate Luxe
The heaviest moisturiser on the shelf and the one you reach for when a retinoid has gone too far. It is an overnight cream in the old sense: you put it on last and you feel it there. One thing we could not do is read the list. Obagi does not publish a full ingredient list on the page, so we are naming nothing and claiming nothing about fragrance either way.
Price and availability are set by Obagi Medical.

The heavy one. We could not read the label, and we say so.
