The exclusive ZOX12® antioxidant complex and ZO-RRS2® plant stem cell technology are unique to ZO Skin Health, providing 12 hours of environmental protection whilst actively working to improve pore function and skin texture at a cellular level.

The Salicyloyl Phytosphingosine in the formula works to keep pores clear and minimise their depth, reducing the likelihood of clogged pores that cause spots and blemishes. For comprehensive blemish control, pair with ZO Complexion Clarifying Serum.

You'll notice an instantly matte finish and refined appearance immediately after application.

The ZOX12® complex provides 12 hours of continuous antioxidant protection with each application.

This pore refiner is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Whilst it's particularly beneficial for oily and combination skin types that struggle with enlarged pores and excess shine, the gentle yet effective formula can also help those with normal or mature skin who want to improve skin texture and achieve a refined, polished appearance.

Yes, ZO Instant Pore Refiner works beautifully as a makeup primer. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly and creates a smooth, matte base that helps makeup apply more evenly and last longer. The pore-blurring effect also helps minimise the appearance of skin texture under foundation.

Allow it to absorb fully before applying your moisturiser and sunscreen. It works particularly well when paired with other ZO products such as the Exfoliating Polish and Oil Control Pads.

ZO Instant Pore Refiner is an excellent choice for oily skin as it specifically targets excess oil production whilst refining pores. The formula contains Rosa Canina Fruit Extract which minimises oil on the skin's surface, delivering a shine-free matte appearance that lasts. Unlike many pore products that simply mask the issue, this medical-grade formula works to actively improve skin health.
