Obagi Rosaclear System
Rosacea is a very common skin condition, affecting more than 14 million Americans. Products prescribed in the treatment of rosacea represent a $137 million market, despite the lack of a topical treatment proven to effectively treat the symptoms of the disease, primarily redness and flushing. Now Obagi Medical Products, Inc., a leader in topical aesthetic and therapeutic skin health systems, offers a new option for people living with rosacea - The Obagi Rosaclear System. It is the first and only complete prescription-based system developed specifically for treating the signs and symptoms of rosacea. The all-in-one system is designed to effectively reduce redness and flushing, along with treating papules and pustules, to help rosacea patients achieve a clearer, calmer and more balanced-looking complexion. The Rosaclear System will be available through physicians beginning in January and will be promoted by Obagi’s dermatology and medical aesthetics sales forces.
“Rosacea is a highly visible disease that can have a significant impact, both emotionally and physically,” said Mitchel P. Goldman, MD, Founder and Medical Director of La Jolla Spa MD. “Based on the results I have witnessed using this System in my practice, the Rosaclear System will be an exciting addition to our treatment options for rosacea.”
In a recent clinical study, 90 percent of subjects showed at least a one grade reduction in the severity of rosacea after just two weeks. Investigators also reported an overall reduction in redness and continued improvement over the four-week study.2
The Rosaclear System incorporates a specially formulated treatment regimen that effectively reduces and minimizes the visible redness and blotchiness associated with rosacea and is also non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores. Metronidazole Topical Gel USP 0.75%, a prescription medication indicated for the treatment of papules and pustules associated with rosacea, is used in conjunction with select cosmetic-based products to create an effective, comprehensive treatment system. The complementary, non-prescription products help to reduce visible redness by incorporating calming agents such as licorice, aloe, lavender and sea whip to soothe the skin, along with light-reflecting minerals to balance the appearance of the complexion overall.
“At Obagi, we strive to provide innovative products to skin care professionals that improve the overall skin health of their patients,” said Steven Carlson, Chief Executive Officer of Obagi Medical Products. “The launch of our Rosaclear System provides physicians with a highly effective option for treating rosacea and exemplifies Obagi’s commitment to providing the most complete aesthetic and therapeutic skin care systems and products.”
About Rosacea
Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by a reddening of the cheeks, nose, chin and/or forehead. It may also include the appearance of acne-like pimples. Since rosacea causes facial redness, it is easily confused with other skin conditions, such as acne and sunburn. For this reason, rosacea is known as the “great pretender,” and often is incorrectly referred to as “adult acne.”
It affects more than 14 million Americans. Adults, especially those between 30 and 50 years of age who have lighter skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, are most likely to suffer from rosacea; however, rosacea can affect children and people of any skin type. While rosacea can affect both men and women, it’s nearly three times more common in women.
