About the formula and use

Which strength should I start with?

0.25% is the gentlest. ZO also makes 0.3%, 0.5% and 1% versions. Ask us which suits your skin.

When should I avoid using it?

Avoid excessive sun exposure, and don't apply it to irritated or compromised skin or right after a peel, laser or other aggressive treatment.

Is it right for me?

If you're new to retinol, pregnant or breastfeeding, or using prescription skincare, ask us at checkout or book a complimentary consultation first.
