The technology

How ZO-RDS™ delivers real retinol

Diagram of the ZO-RDS retinol liposome: retinol molecules in a hydrated core, wrapped in a phospholipid bilayer with an outer stabilizer layer
The ZO-RDS™ liposome. Diagram: ZO Skin Health.
  • Stabilizer layer

    Shields the retinol from oxidation and light.

  • Phospholipid bilayer

    Mirrors the structure of skin's own lipids.

  • Lipid vesicle interior

    A hydrated core that keeps the vesicle intact and supports controlled release.

  • Encapsulated retinol

    Retinol molecules held in the core for stability, efficacy and controlled delivery.

Two depthsDeeper for wrinkles, shallower for pigment
Slow releaseGradual, to keep irritation down
Better uptakeCloser to where retinol works
Stays stableProtected from oxidation

About the formula

What is in it besides retinol?

ZCORE™ to support skin structure, ZPRO® protein complex for hydration, and bisabolol and beta-glucan to soothe and moisturize.

When should I avoid using it?

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