ZO Skin Health Complexion Smoothing + Clarifying Program

Restore Clarity, Refine Texture & Balance Oily Skin

What’s Included in the ZO Skin Health Complexion Smoothing + Clarifying Program

1. The exfoliating Cleanser (200 ml) is a cleansing gel designed to remove excess oil, dead skin cells, and other daily impurities, while soothing the skin with microbeads containing encapsulated vitamin E.
2. The Dual Action Scrub (58 g) is a physical and chemical exfoliator featuring round micro-beads and lactic acid to unclog pores and eliminate dead skin buildup.
3. The Complexion Renewal Pads (30 pads) are pre-wetted pads containing salicylic and glycolic acids to reduce surface sebum, clear blocked pores, and prepare the skin for treatment products.
4. The Clarifying Serum for the complexion (50 ml) is a water-gel serum based on ZO’s own technologies that helps reduce surface redness, control oiliness, and refine the pore structure without drying the skin.
5. Daily Power Defence (30 ml) is a serum that reinforces the skin’s barrier and contains antioxidants and specialised enzymes to guard against environmental damage and help the skin recover.
6. Exfoliation Accelerator (30 ml) contains a powerful complex of 10% glycolic and lactic acids that gently encourages epidermal renewal, improves texture, and helps prevent future pore clogs.

Key Benefits

• Tames excess sebum by reducing shine and keeping the surface oil under control all day.
• Clears and refines pores by using salicylic and glycolic acids to dissolve buildup inside them, helping prevent future breakouts.
• Helps improve skin texture through gentle dual exfoliation to remove dead skin cells that cause dullness, leaving the skin with a refined, luminous appearance.
• Alleviates and calms: botanicals with calming properties reduce the appearance of redness and irritation associated with breakouts.
• Supports maintaining barrier health by including vital antioxidants to support hydration balance and protect against ecological stress.

ZO Skin Health Complexion Smoothing + Clarifying Program: The Key Active Ingredients & Advanced Technologies

1. Complexion Clarifying Serum

• Salicylic acid (BHA) is an oil-soluble acid that can penetrate the pores to dissolve sebum, cellular debris, and congestion trapped there.
• The ZO-RRS2® Complex: A unique plant stem cell complex made from Leontopodium Alpinum and Marrubium Vulgare, which offers strong antioxidant protection and at the same time helps to reduce visible surface redness.
• ZPOLY™ Complex: A complex of polysaccharides derived from plants which strengthens the skin barrier and provides long-lasting hydration balance.
• The water-gel delivery system enables deep delivery to the target without adding any weight or oil or causing clogging of the surface pores.

2. Exfoliating Cleanser

• When encapsulated vitamin E microbeads are applied, they release their contents to provide direct antioxidant defence against free radicals while soothing the skin during cleansing.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3): Helps to balance the oil on the surface, makes pores appear tighter, and aids in the repair of the skin barrier.
• Salicylic acid gently initiates exfoliation right inside the hair follicle.

3. Dual Action Scrub

• The micro-fine round wax spheres and lactic acid work by combining a manual physical polishing action with the gentle chemical breakdown of dead skin cells on the surface, thereby smoothing the rough texture without causing micro-tears.
• The ZO-RRS2®, together with the Vitamin C/E Complex, provides protection against environmental oxidative damage to skin that has just been exfoliated.

4. Complexion Renewal Pads

• The combination of salicylic acid and glycolic acid (AHA) helps remove excess surface lipids, unclogs pores, and lowers the skin’s pH so the treatment can be absorbed more effectively.
• This blend of botanical extracts (Camellia Sinensis and Spiraea Ulmaria) contains natural astringents and anti-irritants that soothe inflammation and help regulate surface shine.

5. Daily Power Defense

• Ultrasomes (Micrococcus Lysate) and Roxisomes (Arabidopsis Thaliana) are specialised enzyme complexes which help to support the skin’s natural DNA repair process after exposure to UV radiation and other environmental factors.
• Ceramide-NG and polysaccharides: replenish the essential lipids between the skin cells to restore the protective skin barrier.
• Vitamin E is an important fat-soluble antioxidant. It helps fight damage caused by free radicals.

6. Exfoliation Accelerator

• Complex of 10% glycolic and lactic acid: a high-concentration mixture of AHAs which speeds up the turnover of the epidermis, dissolves the accumulation of dull skin cells, and softens the fine surface texture.
• Vitamins A and E are micro-encapsulated antioxidants. They help stop future cell damage.
• The Advanced Soothing Complex (which includes Aloe, Chamomile, and Green Tea) helps calm active redness and maintains comfort throughout the chemical renewal process.
