While it can be difficult to treat skin discoloration, the best dark spot treatment protocol should begin with a healthier cell turnover to help eliminate surface discolorations. ZO Skin Health’s Retinol Skin Brightener system is powered by three retinol strengths formulated to address preference, tolerance, and intensity of dark spots and other forms of discoloration. Relying on ZO’s decades of expertise in using topical retinol for the face, amplifying the formulas with Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol, maximizes efficacy and rapidly improves the look of uneven skin tone.
What Is ZO Skin Health and Its Benefits?
ZO Skin Health is a skincare line founded by renowned dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi. He is also the founder of Obagi Skincare, which he left in 2006 and launched a new skincare brand called ZO Skincare that includes the ZO Skin Health Retinol Skin Brightener.
ZO Skin Health offers unique benefits compared to other medical-grade skincare products. In fact, the science and innovation behind this revolutionary skincare line provide benefits that make it outstanding above many other medical-grade skincare products. Moreover, below are the benefits that ZO Skin Health offers.
Potency
It is important to note that not all medical-grade skincare products are created equal. That makes ZO Skin Health different since it’s one of the most potent lines of skincare products available. Indeed, ZO products have become a vital part of a physician-supervised skincare regimen.
Moreover, the contraction levels of ingredients they contain are much higher than those in over-the-counter and many online skincare products. Although the potency levels in ZO products allow them to be more effective, the best results are still produced when used and supervised by a physician or professional medical.
Scientific Research
Backed by reliable scientific research, ZO’s skin care products continue evolving as research reveals discoveries that can provide better patient results. A perfect example of this is ZO skin brightening products.
They don’t contain hydroquinone because research determined skin can build up a resistance to it. This resistance causes the hydroquinone to become useless as a skin lightener over time.
Penetrates The Skin Deeper
Unlike over-the-counter skincare products that only treat the skin’s surface, ZO products are formulated to penetrate deeply, impacting all the skin’s layers. Zo Products even outperform many other medical-grade skincare products. Take ZO Radical Night Repair, for example.
It has “microencapsulated” 1% retinol, which comprises smaller particles. This allows Zo Radical Night Repair to penetrate skin cells more effectively than most prescription retinoid products.
Improve Medical Skin Issues
Many medical-grade skincare products fall short when treating skin issues such as cystic acne or rosacea. Clinically proven ZO Medical products contain prescription-strength ingredients to treat and correct these skin issues effectively. Following a ZO Skin Health regimen, patients dealing with such conditions can achieve and maintain beautiful, healthy skin.
