ZO Skin Health

A comprehensive system of professional skin care products developed for common aesthetic skin concerns such as sun-damage, fine lines, dry skin, oily skin, large pores, age spots and pigmentation. The ZO product range contains a number of active ingredients, including high-strength retinol and antioxidants - effective for the restoration and long-term maintenance of healthy skin.

 

The ZO skin care system includes a number of new and effective formulations that utilise a multimodal treatment approach to skin rejuvenation (combining agents that act via different mechanisms of action). The key therapeutic ingredient is retinol (vitamin A), which is combined with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, peptides, growth factor serums and skin brighteners.

 

Recent pharmaceutical developments have led to stabilisation of the retinol molecule with a fine molecular-coating (micro encapsulation), which prevents oxidation and enhances absorption through the epidermis. The result is increased efficacy and less irritation. Retinol is one of the most powerful topical anti-aging agents available today.

Retinol based skin rejuvenation

Retinoids are regulators of cellular metabolism. They stimulate skin cell turn-over (cell proliferation and exfoliation of the epidermis), promote collagen production and protect against free radicals.

High-dose retinol (1% or more) is usually effective in providing significant improvement to photo-damaged skin, pigmentation, skin elasticity, skin texture and skin tone within 60-90 days.
