Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 most popular ZO Skin Health products.

I had a consultation with the lovely Laura who recommended ZO Daily Power Defence amongst some other products. I was warned that I may have some redness/flakiness for the first few weeks but only had it for a few days. I’m now a few weeks into my new skincare regime and can’t praise it enough. I have used many high end brands for years but feel I have achieved more with ZO in a matter of weeks than I have with any other skincare brand. It really is in a league of its own and the results speak for themselves. Glowing, smoother younger looking skin already. Not bad for 46! Excited to see what the next few weeks bring." The Daily Power Defense serum is referred to as an “ antioxidant serum ”, however, the formula doesn’t include many antioxidants, just retinol and a low concentration of vitamin E. In our opinion, it would be better to refer to this as a retinol serum, but we digress.Bottom Line: ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish uses magnesium oxide crystals and baking soda to exfoliate the skin, but the alkaline pH of baking soda may lead to disruption of the skin barrier. In our opinion, ZO Skin Health products aren’t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. Matrixyl 3000 is an anti-ageing ingredient which goes into the dermal layer of the skin’s structure. This stimulates collagen production and diminishes the appearance of any fine lines and wrinkles by tightening the skin.

Bottom Line: ZO Skin Health Oil Control Pads are alcohol-based pads that reduce excess oil, make pores appear smaller, and tighten skin, but may not be the best in the long run. A study in the Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology journal agrees that salicylic acid is used as a peeling agent to treat acne. Glycolic acid Glycolic acid is suitable for individuals with acne-prone and oily skin. Topical application of the acid on the skin helps remove dead skin cells, fight aging, clear acne, and brighten skin complexion. This ZO Skin Health Vitamin C serum combines 10% ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C) with tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (a stable vitamin C derivative).The growth serum has high concentrations of different silicones and humectants that help fight signs of aging. Humectants retain moisture and help plum up the skin, while silicones blur the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The effects of the serum are temporary and disappear once you wash it off. Bottom Line: ZO Skin Health Growth Factor Serum is a lightweight serum that consists of humectants, silicones and growth factors. ZO Skin Health Oil Control Pads do contain a few beneficial ingredients, such as salicylic acid and glycolic acid, but we don’t think the benefits of these ingredients outweigh the risks of applying so much alcohol to your skin.

Below we’ll highlight a few of these key ingredients and how they may benefit your skin.According to a publication in the journal BBA Biomembranes alcohol disrupts the lipids that make up the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). ZO Skin Health Retinol Skin Brightener also includes antioxidant vitamins C and E, glutathione, soy isoflavones, and n-acetyl glucosamine. All of these ingredients help to prevent the appearance of new age spots and uneven color. In the morning, after applying the serum to the complexion, follow with your ZO sun protection. A tip for oilier skin suffers – if you find the serum to be too heavy for the skin, you could try using it once in the evening. Similar to other cleansers, the product contains surfactants like Cocamidopropyl betaine and sodium Laureth sulfate. The surfactants attract and suspend dirt, oils, and other impurities on the skin and wash them away. Bottom Line: ZO Skin Health Complexion Renewal Pads are alcohol-based pads that will remove excess oil and tighten the skin in the short term, but may lead to disruption of the skin barrier when used long term.
