What is ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex used for?
ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex is a targeted acne treatment designed to clear active breakouts, help prevent future blemishes, and improve the appearance of post-acne marks and texture. It treats acne at every stage, from congestion beneath the surface to visible scarring left behind.
Who is ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex best suited for?
This product is ideal for acne-prone skin, including those experiencing moderate to severe breakouts, recurring congestion, or lingering red and brown post-breakout marks.
How does this product work differently from standard acne treatments?
Rather than only drying out spots, ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex normalises skin cell turnover with retinol, helps keep pores clear, and supports collagen health, improving both active acne and the visible after-effects.
Can ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex help with acne scarring?
Yes. With consistent use, the formula helps improve the look of textural acne scarring by supporting healthy collagen and smoothing uneven skin texture, while also fading post-breakout discolouration.
Will ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex cause dryness or peeling?
Mild dryness, flaking, or redness can occur when first introducing the product. This is a normal retinol adjustment response and usually settles as the skin adapts. Gradual use helps maintain comfort.
How should ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex be applied?
Apply to clean, dry skin, preferably in the evening. Use a small amount and build up frequency as tolerated. Daily sunscreen use is essential while using this product.
Can ZO Retinol + Blemish Complex help prevent future breakouts?
