Absolutely. This is an excellent support product for anyone experiencing dryness, flaking, or irritation from retinol use. The formula helps maintain skin hydration and protects the lipid barrier whilst you build tolerance to active ingredients. It can be applied over retinol products once they've absorbed to provide a protective, soothing layer overnight or throughout the day.

With typical usage of up to three times daily, a 50ml tube generally lasts 4-8 weeks depending on the size of the treatment area and how liberally you apply. A little goes a long way, so you may find it lasts even longer with conservative application. For post-procedure care, your usage may be more intensive initially and then reduce as your skin heals.

Despite being a rich, protective ointment, this formula is designed to absorb without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. The blend of lipid replenishment agents and hydration boosters delivers lasting comfort whilst maintaining an elegant, non-occlusive texture. Most users find it sits comfortably under makeup or other skincare products once absorbed.

ZOX12® is ZO Skin Health's exclusive antioxidant complex featuring encapsulated vitamins A, C, and E. This advanced technology delivers 12 hours of continuous protection against free radical damage from environmental aggressors, including infrared-A rays. The encapsulation ensures a sustained release of antioxidants throughout the day, providing superior protection compared to standard formulations.

Yes, ZO Soothing Ointment works beautifully alongside other ZO Skin Health products. It's particularly effective when used with active treatments such as ZO Complex A+ or other retinol-based products, helping to keep the skin barrier protected and comfortable whilst you use potent actives. Apply it as a final protective layer after your treatment products have absorbed.

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin up to three times daily, or as directed by your skincare professional. During the initial post-procedure recovery phase, you may find more frequent application helpful. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if needed. Allow the product to absorb for a few minutes before applying other skincare products or makeup.

ZO Soothing Ointment is specifically formulated for sensitive, post-procedure skin and is trusted by dermatologists and aesthetic practitioners worldwide. Unlike standard petroleum-based healing balms, this medical-grade formula actively supports skin recovery with cellular regeneration technology, 12-hour antioxidant protection, and lipid barrier repair. It's designed to be gentle on compromised skin whilst delivering professional-level results.

ZO Soothing Ointment is designed for post-procedure skin recovery and management. It's ideal for use after chemical peels, laser treatments, microneedling, and other professional skin procedures. The formula helps restore disrupted skin barrier function, provides intensive hydration, and creates a protective environment for optimal healing. It can also be used for generally sensitised, compromised, or irritated skin that needs barrier support.
