What is ZO Skin Health?

ZO Skin Health is a medical-grade skincare brand known for its scientific foundation that provides the basis for all of their carefully formulated products. Founded & directed by world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi, ZO Skin Health utilizes cutting-edge scientific research and clinical experience to create treatments and regimens for healthy skin.

 

 

As pioneers of skin health science, ZO® Skin Health continues to push the boundaries of medical-grade skincare. With a focus on education and supporting physicians’ practices through clinical training & seminars, ZO Skin Health provides products & protocols that allow individuals to continuously experience healthy skin regardless of their age or unique skin condition.

 

How does ZO Skin Health work?

Using effective ingredients like pure retinol, advanced peptides, and powerful antioxidants at high concentrations, ZO Skin Health products work from the inside out, activating and stimulating your skin’s cells to nourish, repair, and maintain themselves. 

 

The brand builds on current research, using the most potent ingredients that have demonstrated significant results in a clinical setting. Their products are studied rigorously and undergo extensive test trials to determine their efficacy and additional outcomes. 

 

The philosophy of ZO skin is to treat skin at the source, tailoring comprehensive solutions to create and maintain healthy skin. By focusing on skin health, ZO products are able to treat a wide array of various skin concerns:

• Rosacea
• Eczema
• Acne/blemishes
• Skin laxity
• Crepey Skin 
• Pigmentation
• Wrinkles 

 

Prior to any skin treatments, ZO Skin Health prepares the skin with a simple regime: Getting Skin Ready. 

 

Learn what products are in this regimen, how to use them, and which order to apply products in below:

 

How to use ZO Skin Health products

These are the three essential steps to getting skin ready using ZO Skin Health products:

 

Step 1: Cleanse 

Step 2: Exfoliate 

Step 3: Tone 

 

The Getting Skin Ready regime is suitable for all skin types, with options of substituting with other products if you have oiler or dryer skin. 

 

Step 1: Cleanse using the Gentle Cleanser 

 This gentle cleanser deeply cleans to remove oil, makeup, and other impurities. With botanical extracts to provide antioxidants and Sodium lauroyl oat amino acids to prevent post-cleanse dryness, this cleanser is effective for all skin types. 

 

 Swap for Exfoliating Cleanser if you have oilier skin, or Hydrating Cleanser if you have dryer skin.

 

 Directions: apply a small amount and cleanse for 60 seconds on damp skin, in both the AM/PM. Rinse thoroughly.

 

 

Step 2: Exfoliate using the Exfoliating Polish

Exfoliating polish is a physical exfoliant that buffs away dead skin cells & other debris, leaving your skin feeling baby-smooth & radiant. Ultra-fine magnesium oxide crystals gently exfoliate the skin without creating microtears or damaging the skin barrier as many common exfoliants do. 

 

Swap for Dual Action Scrub if you have oilier skin.

 

Directions: after cleansing the skin, gently massage a small amount onto your damp face and neck. Rinse thoroughly. Use 2-3 times a week, or build up to daily use as needed. 

 

 

Step 3: Tone with Complexion Renewal Pads

These toning pads with Glycolic Acid + Salicylic Acid clean deep into pores to help decongest, smooth, and brighten the skin. Botanical extracts help to provide antioxidants and reduce redness. 

 

Swap for Acne Treatment Pads for oilier skin, or Calming Toner for dry, sensitized skin.

 

Directions: gently wipe over the face after exfoliating. Use in the AM/PM or as needed. 

   

Be sure to finish your routine with SPF during the day to protect the skin from UV damage & ensure your skinvestments are worthwhile!

• Skin Brightening Program: Designed for the treatment of hyperpigmentation and skin brightening without the use of hydroquinone and Retinol.

 

• Skin Brightening Program + Texture Kit: Targeting the same concerns as the Skin Brightening Program, but with the use of a few retinol products.

 

• Complexion Clearing Program: A comprehensive program designed to minimize excess surface oil, unclog and purify pores, and reduce the appearance of irritated skin, eliminating current and preventing future breakouts.

 

Where to buy ZO Skin Health products in Canada?
