Exfoliation Accelerator

Sale price$152.00

A leave-on exfoliating lotion that pairs glycolic acid with a measured dose of retinol to keep surface renewal moving. Aloe, chamomile, green tea and allantoin hold the formula steady so skin stays comfortable while it works.

When to use Evening, after cleansing, before moisturiser
How it works

Glycolic acid loosens the bonds holding dulling surface cells in place while a low dose of retinol keeps renewal ticking underneath; safflower lipids, squalane and a quartet of soothers keep the experience civilised for a daily-wear exfoliant.

Who it suits

Rough texture, dullness and congestion-prone skin that tolerates acids; a staple of the ZO Getting Skin Ready approach.

How to use

Evenings, a pea-sized amount over clean, dry skin. Start two to three nights a week and build as tolerated. Daily sunscreen is non-negotiable while using this product.

Layering

Keep it away from your retinoid nights when starting out; once tolerance is established your practitioner may combine them deliberately.
