ZO Skin Health medical-grade skincare offers solutions for all skin types, addressing both skin concerns and the maintenance of healthy skin. ZO Skin Health’s philosophy is strongly based on scientific research and innovative product development. The brand is American, and its founder, Dr. Zein Obagi, is a globally recognized dermatologist, often referred to as a pioneer in acid treatments.
Dr. Obagi and ZO Skin Health have been pioneers in advanced skincare solutions for over 35 years. ZO Skin Health’s philosophy focuses on restoring and supporting the skin’s natural optimal function, not just treating diseases and damage. The line includes both homecare products and ZO Professional Treatments at clinics.
The ZO Skin Health protocol consists of three steps:
STEP 1: GETTING SKIN READY (GSR)
The foundation of healthy skin consists of a few simple steps that prepare the skin for daily care, enhance the effectiveness of other products, and maintain skin health. GSR includes cleansing, exfoliating and toning, all selected to meet the skin’s needs.
STEP 2: PREVENT + CORRECT
A wide range of targeted products that effectively treat various skin concerns such as weakened skin, sun damage, impurities and signs of aging. These targeted products keep the skin healthy and prevent new issues from arising. The protocols can be customized with different intensities: gentler protocols maintain skin function, and prevent skin problems, while more aggressive treatments target skin correction and renewal, delivering significant results. ZO uses well-documented ingredients in its products, such as retinol, growth factors, antioxidants, and a comprehensive range of AHA and BHA, as well as other types of acids.
STEP 3: PROTECT
An advanced three-part formula that protects the skin from damage caused by the sun and light, including premature aging, pigmentation changes, and the risk of skin cancer. ZO sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, HEV light (blue light, high-energy visible light), and IR-A radiation (infrared light). ZO sunscreens are clinically proven to be photostable, meaning their protective effect does not break down in sunlight. All ZO sunscreens are recommended for daily use by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
