Usage:

Directions:

Retinol Skin Brightener is a high-potency retinol treatment. If you have not been using retinol, begin use gradually.

The potency of Retinol Skin Brightener is likely to cause redness, dryness and peeling for the first few weeks. These anticipated reactions are a sign that the product is working and will subside with consistent use. You can minimize these side effects by using extra moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.Following cleansing, apply to clean, dry skin twice a week
Increase frequency to alternate days
Then, increase use to every day as tolerated

Anticipated Reactions:

Redness, flakiness, dryness, burning, or stinging are all normal, anticipated reactions when starting retinol. With regular product use, skin will acclimate, revealing a smoother, more even-toned and youthful-looking complexion. Pair your retinol with a ZO® functional hydrator to minimize anticipated reactions. Consult a physician for customized retinol protocol. Like prescription retinoic acid, retinol will make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Wear SPF 30 or higher daily.

Tips For Usage:

As one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients, retinol has the power to visibly transform your complexion. Even so, results take time. Whether you need a retinol cream for beginners or are an experienced retinol user, it is essential to gauge your skin’s tolerance for it and gradually increase use. Adding the appropriate strength of ZO® Retinol Skin Brightener to your routine ideally balances skin tolerability with results you can see.

Protocol: A 12-week independent third-party clinical study of 46 participants to assess the efficacy potential of Retinol Skin Brightener. Participants represent females, ages 40-64, with Fitzpatrick skin types II-IV. Supported with the use of Gentle Cleanser, Sunscreen + Primer Broad-Spectrum SPF 30 and Hydrating Crème during the study.

Common Retinol Reactions:

All skins can benefit from retinol. The key to attaining visible results is to gradually build your skin’s tolerance for it. Depending on your ability to tolerate retinol, you may experience redness, flakiness, dryness and other common signs of irritation. Due to its potency, moderate sensitivity is to be expected.

How to build tolerance for Retinol:

Some sensitivity when first starting to use retinol is normal. The amount of time it takes to build a tolerance to retinol varies from person to person. However, how your own skin reacts can be controlled by adjusting product strength and usage frequency. Over time, your skin will become accustomed to retinol, revealing a smoother, more even-toned and youthful-looking complexion.

Pair your Retinol with:

ZO® has decades of expertise in the use of topical retinol for face. To moderate signs of sensitivity, we recommend pairing your Retinol Skin Brightener with one of our proven functional hydrators as well as an SPF to protect against photosensitivity.
