Product Overview: ZO Skin Health

Founded in 2007 by renowned dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi, ZO Skin Health Inc. offers high-quality, results-oriented skincare products which is now Number 1 medical grade skincare brand prescribed by Aesthetic Medicine Doctors. 

With a legacy of creating effective anti-ageing solutions, Dr. Obagi developed the ZO Skin Health and ZO Medical ranges to combat anti-ageing, acne, rosacea, and pigmentation issues. 

  • ZO Skin Health and ZO Medical products are packed with clinically proven active ingredients, including advanced peptides, vitamin E, potent antioxidants, and pure retinol (vitamin A). 

    These ingredients are used in high concentrations for maximum effectiveness and use cutting edge ingredient delivery systems to work within skin cells where needed most unlike high street which sit on top of the dead skin cells. 

    The products are tailored to individual needs by skincare professionals and may require a prescription from a medical professional.

  • ZO products focus on long-term skin health rather than quick fixes. They work by activating and stimulating skin cells to repair, renew, and maintain themselves through a multi-step process:

    • Cleanse and Scrub: Remove surface debris and dead skin cells.
    • Oil Control and Tone: Manage excess oil or soothe dry skin.
    • Treatment: Prepare the skin barrier to absorb active ingredients effectively.
    • Calm and Nourish: Soothe irritation, hydrate, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
    • Protect: Guard against UVA, UVB, and HEV (blue light) damage.
  • ZO products, especially the medical range, target signs of aging and skin conditions like inflammation, pigmentation, rosacea, sun damage, and acne. 

    Different products cater to various skin types, and Dr Paulina can help determine the best treatments for your needs. 

    Products are designed for home use but should be used under professional guidance.

  • Acne: Treatments include Dual Action Scrubs, Acne Control, Correct and Conceal Acne Treatment, Clarifying Serum and prescription retinols or Tretinoin.

    Anti-Ageing: Products like Intense Eye Repair, Growth Factor Serum, and Advanced Radical Night Repair or Wrinkle & Texture Retinol or Firming Serum

    Hyperpigmentation: Options include 10% active Vitamin C, Brightalive and Retinol Brightner 

    Inflammation: Illuminating AOX Serum

    Dry skin: Hydrating Cleanser and Daily Power Defense, Overnight Recovery Crème.

    Pores: Oil Control Acne Pads, Instant Pore Refiner

    Rosacea and Redness: Daily Power Defense and Rozatrol

  • ZO products suit all skin types and ages but may not be compatible with certain skin conditions or medications. A consultation with a trained ZO Skin Health specialist such as Dr Paulina Charlesworth is essential before starting treatment. Avoid purchasing products online or from unauthorised sources. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their GP before use.

  • Visible results from ZO products typically appear after six weeks of consistent use. Continued use maintains positive outcomes, although the products do not halt the aging process.

  • Retinol, a key ingredient, promotes cell renewal and reduces fine lines but can cause irritation and peeling. If side effects occur, consult Dr Paulina Charlesworth for advice, which may include adjusting the frequency of use.

  • At her clinic in Sevenoaks Dr Paulina Charlesworth prides herself on offering top-tier skincare services, highlighted by the fact that Dr Paulina has personally trained with Dr. Zein Obagi himself. 

    Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our 5-star google reviews and the personalised written skincare routines we provide to each client. 

    Additionally, our online shop ensures easy renewals of your skincare products making it convenient to maintain your ZO health skincare routine.
