ZO Skin Health Illuminating AOX Serum

ZO Illuminating AOX Serum is a concentrated antioxidant treatment that provides 12 hours of environmental defence against pollution and free radical damage. It brightens dull, tired complexions whilst delivering weightless hydration and a luminous, soft-focus finish that blurs imperfections. The formula also supports skin barrier function and helps minimise visible signs of premature ageing.

Apply Illuminating AOX Serum in the morning as the last step in your skincare routine before sunscreen. After cleansing, toning, and applying any treatment serums, smooth a pea-sized amount across your face and neck. Allow it to absorb fully before applying your SPF. The lightweight formula layers beautifully and works perfectly as a makeup primer.

Illuminating AOX Serum is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The lightweight, weightless formula absorbs quickly without leaving residue or causing congestion. If you have very sensitive skin or conditions like dermatitis or eczema, consult with a skincare professional before incorporating any new products into your routine.

Yes, this serum contains ZO-RRS2®, an exclusive plant stem cell complex specifically designed to soothe visible redness whilst neutralising free radicals. Users often notice their complexion appears calmer and more even-toned with regular use, making it beneficial for those prone to redness or irritation from environmental stressors.

ZOX12® is ZO's exclusive antioxidant complex that encapsulates vitamins A, C, and E for extended-release delivery over 12 hours. Unlike standard antioxidant serums that release their active ingredients immediately and lose efficacy throughout the day, this technology provides sustained defence against environmental aggressors and free radical damage from morning until evening.

Absolutely. ZO Illuminating AOX Serum is specifically designed to work beautifully under makeup and sunscreen. The weightless formula absorbs quickly whilst the micro minerals create a subtle soft-focus effect that blurs imperfections and smooths the complexion, making it an excellent primer. Many users find their makeup applies more smoothly and looks more radiant throughout the day.

This product contains retinyl palmitate, a vitamin A derivative. Whilst this is a milder form of vitamin A than retinol or tretinoin, it's recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding individuals consult with their healthcare provider before using any products containing vitamin A derivatives. Your doctor can advise on the most suitable skincare routine during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Yes, these products are designed to work together as a comprehensive anti-ageing duo. ZO recommends using Illuminating AOX Serum in the morning for daytime protection and radiance, then Daily Power Defense in the evening to strengthen the skin barrier overnight. However, depending on your skin goals, your skincare specialist may recommend using both products in the morning for enhanced protection.

ZO Illuminating AOX Serum is specifically formulated for those wanting to brighten dull, lacklustre complexions. Unlike standard vitamin C serums that release quickly, this formula uses ZO's exclusive ZOX12® technology to deliver encapsulated vitamins A, C, and E over 12 hours. Combined with micro minerals that create an instant luminous finish, it's an excellent choice for restoring radiance to tired skin.
