Anyone seen that Obagi is now available at Target?  On line anyway, haven't seen it in the store.  Is this the same as what was sold in doctor's offices?

My store is renovating right now and moving everything around.  They have moved the skin care and it seems they now have a little squared off area meant to be their "high end" lines.  I don't remember seeing any Obagi when I was in there last week, but if I go online and click on an Obagi item, it says it can be available at my store in 2 hours which indicates it is available locally.

 

Can't say if it's the same as what was sold in dermatologists offices.

Our store does not carry it.  If you look online and put your particular store, then check "pick up in store" it will let you know if it has it there.   It is not sold in any of our local stores.

 

I looked on Skinstore to see if it was the same and it looks like they now have the original medical line and now the clinical line, which is what Target carries.

I can't believe Target would sell a product usually only available in doctor's offices or approved online sites. 

 

I think it may either counterfeit, out of date or maybe even stolen from a reputable source. This is usually used as a system of steps (cleanser, exfoliator, acids, spf...PM has a product that's mixed with Retin A as a bleaching agent).  I've never seen it available when not under the direction of a physician. 

 

As with most things, if it seems too good to be true......

Re: Obagi @ Target?

[ Edited ]

Obagi divides their products into two categories. One is 'medical' and the other is 'clinical'.  Obviously the medical products aren't the ones being sold at Target. Those would be sold within the medical establishments or authorized retailers.

 

Their medical products are made to treat skin issues. 

Their clinical products are made to prevent issues.

@Shanus  I can't imagine that Target would stoop to this level and put their reputation at risk.  I don't shop there often, but would buy from this line if it's true that they will sell it.  I've been wanting to try the ZO pads.  I almost ordered them the other day directly from the Obagi website.  Amazon sells them but their price is about $10.00 higher!
