Which Skincare Routine Is Best For You?

Your skincare routine is important. The ingredients you choose for your skin have the power to transform it. One of our favorite medical-grade brands, ZO® Skin Health, offers programs for every skin type so you can discover products that are perfect for your needs.

While there’s no one size fits all solution for skin, ZO®’s products certainly get close.

Anti-Aging Program

As we get older our skin changes. While we can’t turn back time, we can be forward-thinking and use products that slow the natural effects and fight against both environmental factors and chronological factors that age the skin. Here’s what ZO® recommends in its Anti-Aging Program.

Exfoliating Cleanser: Everyone needs a good cleanser in their routine to remove dirt and debris from everyday life. An exfoliating cleanser, however, scrubs away dead skin cells and makes your skin more receptive to antioxidant benefits.

Exfoliating Polish: The exfoliating polish, ensures you soak up those benefits. With ultra-fine magnesium oxide crystals as one of the core ingredients, this polish aids cellular renewal for younger, fresher skin — literally.

Complexion Renewal Pads: Complexion pads are great for helping brighten the skin: they serve the purpose of brightening skin and clarifying pores, a step that will leave you looking younger without too much product.

Daily Power Defense: A powerful antioxidant serum, the Daily Power Defense combats the appearance of free radical damage and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines of wrinkles by utilizing superstar ingredients Ceramide 6 (which helps restore barrier function) and Matrixyl 3000 (which firms and re-densifies skin).

Growth Factor Serum: Finally, the Growth Factor Serum supports skin rejuvenation and protects against future signs of aging through a combination of plant and enzymes clinically proven to improve fine lines and wrinkles, firmness, elasticity, texture, and smoothness for a younger-looking complexion.

Skin Brightening Program

If you suffer from dull skin or hyperpigmentation, this is an excellent preventative program for you. The regimen addresses freckles, liver spots, and uneven skin tone.

Gentle Cleanser: Perfect for all skin types, and not too harsh, the gentle cleanser goes deep to remove oil, makeup, and other impurities. It’s a must-have staple in most routines.

Exfoliating Polish: In addition to removing dead cells to reveal a natural glow and allow for deeper product penetration, the exfoliating polish is filled with tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a highly stable vitamin C that visibly brightens the skin.

Complexion Renewal Pads: The Complexion Renewal Pads will become your secret brightening weapon. With Glycolic and Salicylic Acid, the pads help to smooth, brighten and decongest skin without stripping away healthy oils.

Daily Power Defense: While this powerful antioxidant serum improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles, it also promotes overall skin health with the help of vitamin E which provides antioxidant properties.

Brightalive®: This will be your secret brightening serum. Clinically proven to increase luminosity, visibly improve skin clarity, and fade the appearance of dark spots, the ZO Brightalive® formula is gentle and lightweight without any harsh ingredients like hydroquinone and retinol.

Skin Normalizing System

The ZO® Skin Normalizing System is a complete routine for those with sensitive skin that irritates easily. It is safe and effective even for those suffering from dermatitis such as rosacea.

Gentle Cleanser: As the name implies, this cleanser is gentle enough for all skin types and includes a botanical extract blend that provides anti-irritant and antioxidant benefits.

Exfoliating Polish: Even for sensitive skin, exfoliating is important. This particular polish is packed with safe ingredients like ZOX12®, an exclusive antioxidant blend that helps to protect skin against free radical damage — perfect for mild exfoliation to help smooth skin texture and even skin tone

Oil Control Pads Acne Treatment: These oil control pads are designed to offer soothing skin benefits, and also decongests pores, while reducing breakouts and visible redness.

Daily Power Defense: In addition to providing antioxidant protection to combat the appearance of free radical damage, the Daily Power Defense serum also helps to restore skin to a more radiant appearance.

Rozatrol®: Your sensitive skin secret weapon this formula was created for red, sensitive skin. The ZO Rozatrol serum works to normalize skin by reducing excess surface oil while replenishing hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier function. It’s even safe enough to use on rosacea.

For both the skin brightening and normalizing routines, we also recommend the addition of TNS Advanced+ Serum from Skin Medica. A growth factor (and our holy grail product), this intense formula is clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, address sagging skin, lost elasticity, and firmness while restoring hydration and reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier. While the anti-aging routine already includes a growth serum, just remember it’s an important product to have in your tool kit and will visibly improve your look.
