ZO Skin Health Enzymatic Peel

The ZO Enzymatic Peel contains glycolic acid (AHA) and is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. ZO Skin Health products are medical-grade formulations that penetrate the skin, and certain ingredients may not be suitable during this time. Please consult your healthcare provider or dermatologist for pregnancy-safe skincare alternatives.

Yes, the Enzymatic Peel can help reduce breakouts and promote a clearer complexion. By exfoliating dead skin cells and helping to unclog pores, it prevents the buildup that can lead to blemishes. The glycolic acid component is particularly effective at keeping pores clear. However, if you have active severe acne, consult your skincare professional before use.

With the recommended usage of 1-2 times per week, the 50ml tube typically lasts 2-3 months. A little product goes a long way – you only need a thin layer to cover the face. The longevity also depends on how much product you apply and whether you use it on additional areas like the neck or décolletage.

Yes, the Enzymatic Peel is designed to enhance the benefits of your other ZO treatments and skincare products. By removing dead skin cells, it allows subsequent products to penetrate more effectively. Apply it as the final step in your evening routine, after cleansing and toning but before any leave-on treatments you wish to layer.

Yes, the Enzymatic Peel is formulated to improve the visible signs of sun damage. By removing dead skin cells through enzymatic and AHA exfoliation, it helps reveal fresher, more even-toned skin underneath. Regular use can help diminish the appearance of sun-related discolouration and rough texture. Always use sunscreen daily, as this product increases sun sensitivity.

Yes, the Enzymatic Peel's gentle enzyme-based formula makes it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. The papain and bromelain enzymes provide a milder form of exfoliation compared to high-strength acid peels. Start gradually with shorter application times and monitor how your skin responds. If you experience any discomfort, reduce frequency of use.

No, rinsing is not required. You can leave the Enzymatic Peel on for 1-3 hours or overnight for enhanced results – many users report plump, dewy skin by morning when leaving it on all night. However, you may rinse with lukewarm water if you prefer. The formula is designed to work without causing visible peeling or irritation.

Use the Enzymatic Peel 1-2 times per week, or as needed based on your skin's response. If you're new to enzyme peels or have sensitive skin, start with once weekly and gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts. Your skincare professional can recommend a personalised schedule based on your specific skin concerns and routine.

The ZO Enzymatic Peel is highly regarded for addressing dull, rough-textured skin. Its unique combination of papain and bromelain enzymes with glycolic acid provides both enzymatic and chemical exfoliation, making it particularly effective at smoothing uneven texture and reviving lacklustre skin. Unlike harsher peels, it's gentle enough for all skin types whilst delivering professional-grade results.
