ZO Skin Health Gentle Cleanser

ZO Gentle Cleanser does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid or other ingredients typically restricted during pregnancy. The formula consists primarily of gentle cleansing agents, hydrating glycerin and soothing botanical extracts. However, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider or midwife before introducing any new skincare products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

For optimal results, follow ZO Gentle Cleanser with the complete Getting Skin Ready® system: ZO Exfoliating Polish to smooth and brighten, then ZO Complexion Renewal Pads to balance and tone. This three-step foundation prepares your skin to receive maximum benefits from your treatment serums, retinol products and moisturisers.

ZO Gentle Cleanser uses Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), which is a milder surfactant than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). The formula is balanced with oat amino acids and glycerin to counteract any potential drying effects, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The result is an effective cleanse without stripping your skin's natural oils.

With twice-daily use, a 200ml bottle typically lasts 2-3 months. A small amount creates a generous lather, so you don't need to use much product per application. ZO also offers a travel-size 60ml version, perfect for holidays or trying the product before committing to the full size.

Absolutely. ZO Gentle Cleanser is gentle enough for use after professional skin treatments including chemical peels, IPL, PRP facials, microneedling and laser treatments. Its soothing botanical extracts and barrier-supporting formula make it ideal for post-procedure skincare when the skin is most vulnerable.

ZO Gentle Cleanser is a hydrating, non-exfoliating formula ideal for sensitive or reactive skin and post-treatment care. ZO Exfoliating Cleanser contains jojoba beads for physical exfoliation and is better suited for normal to oily skin types. If you have sensitive skin or have recently had a skin treatment, Gentle Cleanser is the recommended choice.

Yes, ZO Gentle Cleanser effectively removes makeup, oil and daily impurities. For heavy or waterproof makeup, we recommend the double cleansing method – use the cleanser once to break down makeup, rinse, then cleanse again to thoroughly purify the skin. This ensures a completely clean canvas for the rest of your skincare routine.

Use ZO Gentle Cleanser twice daily, in the morning and evening. As the first step in your Getting Skin Ready® routine, it prepares your skin to better absorb the active ingredients in your subsequent skincare products. The gentle formula is designed for daily use without causing dryness or irritation.

ZO Gentle Cleanser is specifically formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. The oat amino acids help protect the skin barrier during cleansing, preventing the tightness and irritation that many sensitive skin sufferers experience with other cleansers. It's gentle enough to use after professional treatments like chemical peels and microneedling.
