Description

ZO Skin Health Retinol Skin Brightener 1% (50ml)

A high-potency 1% retinol treatment engineered to rapidly brighten uneven skin tone, erase stubborn hyperpigmentation, and restore a luminous, youthful clarity to the complexion.

The ZO Skin Health Retinol Skin Brightener 1% is a targeted solution for skin showing advanced signs of environmental damage and pigment irregularities. Specifically, it utilises a multi-modal approach to skin brightening by combining pure retinol with specialised pigment inhibitors. By employing a sophisticated oleosome delivery system, the active retinol is released slowly and deeply, thereby minimising surface irritation while maximising cellular turnover. Furthermore, it provides powerful antioxidant protection to prevent the formation of future pigment, ensuring a long-term transition to a more uniform skin tone.

ZO Skin Health Retinol Skin Brightener 1% the Key Benefits

• Intensive Brightening: Targets and fades dark spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
• Advanced Cell Turnover: Stimulates the production of fresh, healthy skin cells to improve overall texture.
• Uniform Tone: In addition to fading spots, it helps to balance the overall “background” colour of the skin.
• Antioxidant Shield: Neutralises free radicals that trigger melanocyte overactivity, consequently preventing new discolouration.

Core Ingredients

• High-Potency Retinol (1%): The gold standard for stimulating collagen and accelerating epidermal renewal
• Oleosome Delivery System: Ensures a controlled, time-released delivery of retinol to target the deeper layers of the skin.
• Bakuchiol: A plant-derived ingredient that boosts retinol efficacy while soothing the skin to reduce sensitivity.
• Vitamin C & E: Provide a dual-layered antioxidant defence against environmental stressors.

How to Use ZO Skin Health Retinol Skin Brightener 1% for Best Results

• Step 1: Prep – Ensure skin is cleansed and toned with [ZO® Skin Health Complexion Renewal Pads].
• Step 2: Application – Apply 1–2 pumps to the face and neck. Notably, you should start slowly (2–3 times per week) and increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
• Step 3: Anticipation – Redness, flaking, and dryness are normal clinical responses when starting a 1% retinol. Subsequently, use a calming agent if irritation persists.
• Step 4: Protect – Ultimately, this product increases photosensitivity. A high-factor SPF is non-negotiable every morning.

For patients with significant sun damage, this brightener is the perfect addition to the ZO® Skin Health Aggressive Anti-Ageing Program.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How is this different from the 0.5% version? Essentially, the 1% formula is double the strength. It is designed for resilient skin or those who have already acclimated to lower concentrations of retinol and require more aggressive results.

• Can I use this for Melasma? Absolutely. Because it targets the various pathways of pigment production, it is a cornerstone treatment for managing melasma and sun-induced damage.

• Is the peeling permanent? On the contrary, the “peeling phase” typically lasts for the first 2–6 weeks. Once your skin becomes “retinol-fit,” the irritation subsides, leaving behind a smooth, radiant glow.
