Usage
Directions
Due to the unique potency of Acne Complex, begin use gradually.
- After Getting Skin Ready®, apply a thin layer 2-3 times/week.
- Gradually increase to daily use as tolerated.
- Pair with ZO’s Hydrating Crème to soothe + comfort skin.
- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher daily during initial retinol acclimation.
- Provider monitoring is recommended.
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.
