ZO Skin Health Complexion Smoothing + Clarifying Program
ZO Skin Health Complexion Smoothing + Clarifying Program (previously Complexion Clearing Program) is Dr Zein Obagi's complete six-step regimen for normal to oily, blemish-prone skin, designed to minimise excess surface oil, unclog and cleanse pores and keep the complexion looking clearer and smoother. ZO has reworked the programme: where the old Complexion Clearing Program was four products, this version pairs two full-size heroes with four travel-size steps so you get the whole ZO protocol in one box.
The programme includes Exfoliating Cleanser (200ml, full size), Dual Action Scrub (58g, travel size), Complexion Renewal Pads (30 pads, travel size), Daily Power Defense (30ml, travel size), Complexion Clarifying Serum (50ml, full size) and Exfoliation Accelerator (30ml, travel size).
It follows ZO's Getting Skin Ready sequence. Exfoliating Cleanser lifts away oil and debris with salicylic acid and jojoba beads, Dual Action Scrub combines lactic and salicylic acids with soft wax beads, and Complexion Renewal Pads sweep glycolic and salicylic acids across the skin to smooth the look of texture and congestion. Daily Power Defense then layers antioxidants and ZO's ZPOLY complex for barrier support, Complexion Clarifying Serum targets excess sebum with the Z-SEB3 complex and water-soluble salicylic acid, and Exfoliation Accelerator finishes with a 10% glycolic and lactic acid complex. Together, the ZO Skin Health Complexion Smoothing + Clarifying Program is a complete skincare kit for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin that wants visibly refined pores and less shine.
