ZO Skin Health Complexion Renewal Pads

These exfoliating toner pads provide dual-action exfoliation to remove excess surface oil and pore-clogging debris. The combination of glycolic acid and salicylic acid helps brighten skin and clarify pores, whilst the botanical extract blend provides antioxidant benefits and helps soothe any redness. The result is a cleaner, brighter, more refined complexion without dryness.

ZO Skin Health Complexion Renewal Pads are specifically formulated to manage excess oil without over-drying the skin. The glycolic and salicylic acid combination effectively removes surface oil and unclogs pores, making them an excellent choice for oily and combination skin types. The non-drying formula ensures your skin stays balanced rather than stripped.

These pads are designed for twice-daily use, morning and evening, after cleansing. They're gentle enough for daily use on most skin types. If you have sensitive skin or are new to exfoliating acids, you may wish to start with once daily and build up to twice daily as your skin adjusts.

Absolutely. The Complexion Renewal Pads are part of ZO Skin Health's Getting Skin Ready (GSR) protocol and are designed to work synergistically with other products in the range. They prepare your skin to better absorb serums, treatments and moisturisers that follow. ZO recommends pairing them with their Gentle Cleanser and Exfoliating Polish for optimal results.

Yes, these pads are particularly effective for acne-prone skin. The salicylic acid penetrates pores to dissolve the buildup that causes blackheads and breakouts, whilst glycolic acid removes dead skin cells that can trap bacteria. Regular use helps reduce the occurrence of breakouts and prevents future acne by keeping pores clear and skin refined.

No, ZO has specifically formulated these pads with a non-drying formula. Unlike many exfoliating products that can leave skin feeling tight and stripped, these pads remove excess oil whilst maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance. The botanical extract blend also helps soothe and calm the skin during the exfoliation process.

ZO Skin Health has transitioned to 100% plant-based viscose pads as part of their sustainability commitment, replacing the previous microplastic particles. The new pads may feel slightly different in texture, but the proven formula remains exactly the same. The plant-based pads still provide gentle smoothing benefits whilst being more environmentally friendly.

No rinsing is required. Simply wipe the pad over your cleansed face and continue with the rest of your skincare routine. The formula is designed to remain on the skin, allowing the active ingredients to continue working. Follow with your serums, treatments and moisturiser as normal.

These pads contain salicylic acid, which some healthcare providers advise avoiding during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We recommend consulting with your doctor, midwife or healthcare provider before using this product if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. They can advise whether it's suitable for your individual circumstances.
