ZO Brightening Protocol
ZO Skin Health’s main objective is to deliver the best and most effective results for skin care. Each ingredient is carefully placed in a regimen for specific skin care concerns. The ZO Brightening products offer a perfect blend of ingredients that address skin discoloration without irritation or stinging. ZO Brightening regimen provides the benefits of both hydroquinone and non-hydroquinone treatments. Hydroquinone is a topical skin-bleaching agent that treats moderate to severe hyperpigmentation, especially melasma. This topical agent gradually bleaches and lightens skin conditions such as chloasma, freckles, lentigines and sun damage. Hydroquinone should be used at a maximum treatment period of five months in order to avoid inflammation, rebound hyperpigmentation and reduced tolerance. After the treatment period is over, you can resume your skin care regimen with the ZO Non-Hydroquinone Brightening system.
For mild pigmentation conditions, the ZO Non-Hydroquinone protocol can be used long term. You should anticipate mild to moderate reactions. After cleansing, exfoliating and toning, use the following products:
- 10% Vitamin C Self-Activating: This potent anti-aging dose of Vitamin C brightens and redefines skin, promoting a more even skin tone, and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother complexion. Vitamin C is also a natural antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radicals and is key in collagen production. For best results, use this product in the morning (AM).
