Sponsored Story: ZO – The science of skin health

Healthy skin fulfils a range of functions and we know that as we age, cumulative sun exposure, hormones, and other factors interfere with this.

The aim of a ZO regime is to support these processes in healthy skin or to normalise them in unhealthy skin. 

Products within the range are formulated to influence different processes. For example, epidermal cell turnover and desquamation, sebum production, barrier function, regulation of pigment, glycosaminoglycans and collagen production; through to suppression of nerve pathways that cause flushing in rosacea.

For completeness most products contain antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant agents for additional protection, and there is also a range of sunscreens to choose from.

 

 

 

ZO uses unique delivery systems as exemplified by the retinols: Radical Night Repair includes retinol packed in oleosomes, which release retinol slowly as they penetrate the skin, preferentially treating the epidermis, but also reaching the dermis. In contrast, Wrinkle and Texture Repair employs a micro-emulsion which preferentially treats the dermis.

 

 

Radical Night Repair helps to lift superficial pigment, improving non-specific discolouration and thickening and smoothing the epidermis while improving rough, dull skin. Meanwhile Wrinkle and Texture Repair will help to thicken the dermis, smooth damaged texture from old acne and sun exposure; and improve scarring, large pores and deeper wrinkles. 

In addition, patented complexes are used in many products – ZOX12 releases antioxidants (vitamins A, C, and E) over a 12-hour period for all-day skin protection, ZO-RRS contains plant stem cells to reduce redness, ZPRO enhances collagen and hyaluronic acid production; and ZCORE in Firming Serum strengthens anchoring fibrils in the dermo-epidermal junction to improve sagging.

From a personal point of view, using ZO systems allows me to manage all skin types, and especially problem skin, with confidence. A good number of my patients have had life-changing results. Improvements often happen quickly which makes for good compliance and happy patients.
