General Skin Health
Nearly three decades ago, Dr. Zein Obagi redefined skincare to include the concept of creating and maintaining healthy skin instead of only treating skin disease. This new philosophy led to the development of some of the most widely recognized skincare products and solutions recommended by physicians. Dr. Obagi, has redefined the concept of skin health to include comprehensive solutions that bridge the gap between therapeutics and maintaining truly healthy skin.
EVERY PATIENT. EVERY AGE. EVERY STAGE.
ZO Skin Health provides results-oriented therapies tailored to meet your specific needs. Delivering clinically proven results, these solutions maintain healthy skin that is strong, smooth and firm, evenly toned, and fully hydrated.
Adverse effects of conventional moisturizers:
Not designed to penetrate the various layers of the skin, ultimately impeding true skin health restoration.
There are NO moisturisers in ZO Skin Health!
ZO skin products provide wonderful options for retinoids, antioxidants and growth factors that are at strengths you cannot buy over the counter.
Using sophisticated delivery systems, these products can also penetrate the deeper layers of your skin, reactivating a healthy skin cycle.
Anti-Ageing
This moderately aggressive skin care routine, with highly advanced anti-ageing ingredient technology, is designed to help reduce the appearance of early or significant signs of environmental and chronological ageing. The Anti-Ageing Program uses potent ingredients, concentrated formulas and aggressive delivery systems to improve and strengthen skin’s appearance and to protect against future damage.
Firming Serum
ZO Firming Serum is clinically proven to reduce skin laxity and improve facial contour (yes, really..!)
The process of skin ageing is complex. The most prominent intrinsic biological processes in sin ageing are alterations in DNA repair and stability, mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism.
Extrinsic factors such as UV radiation and free radical damage cause morphological alterations in the dermis, alter fibroblast activity, and ultimately lead to a thinner epidermis, loss of collagen and weakened skin repair.
Over time, this loss of the structural proteins collagen and elastin, impact the skin’s ability to maintain its shape and structural integrity.
Unable to withstand mechanical shocks and environemntal stresses, the epidermis slackens, it collapses and thus loses its shape.
Firming serum’s bioactive formula supports the anchoring fibrils that connect the dermis to the epidermis and maintain the structural integrity of the skin.
How does it do this?
Active ingredient number 1: Sodium DNA
Fibroblast cells (collagen producers) become inactive as we age. Therefore, we are unable to replenish our collagen and elastin. Sodium DNA works alongside the skin’s matrix formation process to support fibroblast activity, to produce collagen and elastin, in turn improving elasticity and firmness.
Active Ingredient number 2: ZCORE Inflammatory complex
Fibrillar degeneration weakens the dermal-epidermal junction. This results in inadequate nutrient replenishment between the dermis and the epidermis. ZCORE complex supports the anchoring fibrils, therefore skin integrity.
Targeted treatment of skin laxity and sagging skin cannot replace the basics of a healthy skin routine.
The basic steps being: cleanse, exfoliate, tone, broad spectrum UV and anti-oxidant protection.
ZO Firming serums lightweight formula is mild enough for all skin types and can be added into all anti-ageing skincare routines.
Clinically proven – 97% (44/45 participants) showed significant improvement by week 12, results measured by a cutometer.
Sundamage/Pigmentation/Melasma
Regardless of where in the world you live, it’s vital that you protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays all year round, if you want to prevent premature ageing and environmental damage.
With this in mind, SPF and sun protection products are an essential part of any skincare regime. Our Skin Health Sun Damage products have been expertly developed to offer optimum protection from the damaging effects of sun exposure and environmental pollutants.
We offer a range of solutions that actively protect against UVA/UVB sun damage in order to help reduce the visible signs of aging. And it’s not just natural light that can cause skin problems, the HEV light generated by artificial light sources such as computers, digital devices, fluorescent lights, and LED sources, can also damage the skin.
ZO Skin Health Sun Damage products include high performance, clinically proven ingredients, including fractioned melanin, beta-glucan, avobenzone, iron oxides and mica, and octocrylene. Our exclusive ZOX12 12-hour time-release antioxidant complex also provides protection from free radical damage, harmful IR-A rays, and premature ageing.
Hyperpigmentation or Melasma is when an area of the skin darkens due to the overproduction of the skin pigment, melanin. This can manifest itself as freckles, sunspots, age spots, dark circles under the eyes, and melisma.
Although hyperpigmentation is a common and harmless condition, it can cause annoyance or psychological distress to some people with the condition. There are, however, ways to treat and prevent the symptoms and causes of hyperpigmentation.
We offer a collection of skincare products, which have been expertly developed in order to help treat hyperpigmentation, severe texture damage, sun damage, and general skin health restoration.
All of our ZO Skin Health Hyperpigmentation products contain powerful ingredients that have been clinically proven to optimise results, including sodium hyaluronate, jojoba ester, photosomes, oxysomes, retinol, and ultra-fine magnesium crystals.
Rosacea
Rosacea is a long-term skin condition that typically affects the face, resulting in redness, swelling, spots, and superficial dilated blood vessels. The symptoms of Rosacea can cause a significant psychological impact to those suffering from the condition, affecting confidence and self-esteem.
We offer a range of products that have been expertly developed in order to treat the symptoms of rosacea, calming, soothing, and stabilizing the skin whilst reducing redness.
All of our Skin Health Rosacea products contain powerful, pharmaceutical ingredients that are clinically proven to provide impressive, long lasting results. Key ingredients include retinol, ceramide 6, vitamin E, ZOX12, betaglucan, and bisabolol.
Acne
These acne skin care products are truly the best way to get rid of acne at home. For anyone with skin problems such as clogged pores from the buildup of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface resulting in blackheads, whiteheads, comedones, papules, cysts and possibly acne scarring. This program can help to both prevent and treat acne skin breakouts. Slows sebum activity and breaks down surface sebum while you exfoliate dead skin cells to help repair surface damage, tighten pores and improve skin texture.
