Description

ZO Skin Health Retinol + Blemish Complex is a nighttime treatment that targets moderate to severe breakouts, reduces post-acne marks, and improves skin texture. Suitable for oily, acne-prone skin.

Key ingredients include: Microemulsion Retinol and Bakuchiol promote exfoliation, refine pores, improve the look of scarring, and support collagen production. Encapsulated Salicylic Acid provides controlled exfoliation to unclog pores, reduce oiliness, and prevent breakouts. ZO-RRS2® Complex a proprietary anti-inflammatory blend that helps calm the skin and prevent future damage. Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (Azelaic Acid derivative) and Rosa Canina Fruit Extract help regulate sebum, reduce inflammation, and brighten uneven tone. Cetyl Tranexamate Mesylate is a next-generation form of Tranexamic Acid that fades red and brown post-blemish marks for a more even complexion. Fragrance-free.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex is well-suited for concerns like congestion, persistent breakouts, or post-acne discolouration. With its advanced combination of retinol and skin-calming ingredients, it helps clear and refine without compromising the skin barrier.
