Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer: product questions

Identify the correct Hydrate product

Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer is a named facial moisturiser; it should not be confused with Hydrate Luxe. The manufacturer’s US product page lists glycerin, shea and mango butters and tara-derived ingredients in Hydrate. Check your own pack for the current local formula and directions rather than assuming an online description applies to every version.

Plant-derived ingredients are not a guarantee against allergy or irritation. The presence of a moisturising ingredient does not establish that a finished product suits every person with sensitive or spot-prone skin.

Directions and realistic expectations

Use according to the pack and keep it out of the eyes. Moisture and a smoother-looking dry surface are different from a promise to reverse ageing, cure a skin condition or produce a particular result for eight hours in every user.

A plain moisturiser does not replace sunscreen. Stop if it irritates and seek advice for a persistent reaction. Check the current local pack rather than relying on a testimonial about another version.
