ZO Skin Health Retinol + Blemish Complex
ZO Skin Health has introduced Retinol + Blemish Complex, a clinically advanced treatment designed to combat moderate to severe breakouts while addressing the visible aftermath of blemishes. Developed by world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi, this latest innovation represents a 360-degree approach to managing acne-prone skin, targeting every stage of blemish formation and minimising post-inflammatory scarring.
Blemishes are the result of a complex inflammatory cycle, beginning with excess sebum production, clogged pores, and bacterial overgrowth. These factors lead to breakouts, which can often result in persistent post-inflammatory marks and textural scarring. Understanding the physical and psychological impact of acne, ZO Skin Health has formulated an effective, tolerable solution that both prevents and corrects blemishes.
At the core of Retinol + Blemish Complex is a carefully calibrated blend of clinically backed actives:
0.25% Microemulsion Retinol, a highly potent exfoliator, promotes cell turnover, clearing impactions within pores while improving the appearance of textural scars and uneven tone.
Encapsulated Salicylic Acid provides extended pore-clearing action, offering a slow-release mechanism to combat blemishes without irritation.
ZO-RRS2®, an exclusive botanical complex, helps soothe inflammation and support skin resilience, ensuring the formula remains effective yet tolerable for acne-prone skin.
Dr. Obagi has long advocated for a holistic approach to skin health, focusing on transformation at the cellular level rather than surface treatments alone. “When I was a teenager, many of my friends developed blemishes, and I saw how psychologically damaging that was to their ego and appearance. Many of them suffered from residual blemish scars on their face. So, the early thinking was, how can I make skin look better, feel better, and restore it to its originality, like the baby skin we used to have?” he explains.
ZO Skin Health is globally recognised for pushing the boundaries of medical-grade skincare, offering science-backed solutions that improve overall skin health. Retinol + Blemish Complex is the latest addition to the brand’s portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to treating blemish-prone skin with clinical efficacy and innovation.
Retinol + Blemish Complex (£131) is available now at authorised ZO retailers and online at zo-skinhealth.co.uk.
