Normal To Dry

Your skin is balanced but sometimes feels dry and tight.



Cleanser: Hydrating Cleanser

Counteract occasional dryness with a cleanser that will replenish and retain your skin's moisture. ZO Skin Health's Hydrating Cleanser is a great option for clearing your pores of dirt, oil and makeup while keeping dryness in check. 



Exfoliator: Exfoliating Polish

Harsh exfoliation can dry skin out, but that doesn't mean you should skip this step. ZO's Exfoliating Polish is gentle enough for daily use but effective enough to create a smooth, even-toned complexion. This popular scrub was named one of the "6 Best Face Scrubs to Exfoliate Your Way to Smooth Skin" by Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab!



Toner: Complexion Renewal Pads

We recommend Complexion Renewal Pads for balanced skin types. These textured pads use Glycolic acid for an additional exfoliation along with an antioxidant botanical extract blend to soothe skin and reduce redness.

Dry & Sensitive

Your skin is frequently dry & irritated.



Cleanser: Hydrating Cleanser

Whether you have always suffered from dry, sensitive skin or have sensitive skin post-procedure, a cleanser that is both gentle and moisturizing without irritants will help balance your skin. This specific cleanser is formulated with Allantoin to calm and soothe your skin while effectively clearing your pores of dirt, oil and makeup. 



Exfoliator: Exfoliating Polish

Dry, sensitive skin still needs to be exfoliated, but in a gentle manner. The Exfoliating Polish contains magnesium crystals to clear out dead skin cells and create a clear, smooth, even toned complexion. Vitamins A, C, C-ester, and E work together to deliver antioxidant protection to sensitive skin. This scrub was named one of the 6 Best Face Scrubs to Exfoliate Your Way to Smooth Skin by Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab!



Toner: Calming Toner

The Calming Toner is formulated with an exclusive blend of conditioners, moisturizers and hydrators to helps soothe dry, irritated skin. The addition of witch hazel to visibly reduces pore size in the process.

Normal To Oily

Your skin is oily but not prone to breakouts.



Cleanser: Exfoliating Cleanser

This gentle exfoliating cleanser was designed for normal to oily skin. It targets surface oil leaving the skin feeling clean, but not stripped and dry.



Exfoliator: Exfoliating Polish OR Dual Action Scrub

Because your skin is mostly balanced, you can choose between the two exfoliators depending on your skin's needs at the moment. ZO's gentle Exfoliating Polish will keep your skin exfoliated without any added chemical exfoliants. If you're feeling more oily than normal (such as in the summer) try the Dual Action Scrub, which uses both chemical and manual exfoliating ingredients to cut through excess oil.



Toner: Complexion Renewal Pads OR Oil Control Pads

Since your skin falls into the normal category, you also have the benefit of choice with toners. The Complexion Renewal Pads are a great everyday toner for minimizing surface oil. If you feel like you need a little more oil-control or are suffering from an occasional breakout, try the Oil Control Pads. They are forumlated with 2% salicylic acid to keep oil and acne bacteria at bay.

Oily & Acne-Prone

Your skin is oily with frequent breakouts.



Cleanser: Exfoliating Cleanser

Acne-prone skin needs gentle daily exfoliation to cut through surface oil and unclog pores without creating more inflamation. ZO Exfoliating Cleanser uses jojoba esters to remove dead skin cells while Encapsulated Vitamin E nourishes the skin to keep it well balanced.



Exfoliator: Dual Action Scrub

Oily, acne-prone skin requires a more targeted approach to keeping pores clear. The Dual Action Scrub uses Lactic and Salicylic Acid to chemically exfoliate, while tea tree oil destroys acne-causing bacteria and dissolves oil. 



Toner: Oil Control Pads

2% Salicylic acid is commonly found in over-the-counter acne treatments. These textured Oil Control Pads take it a step further with dog rose extract to control surface oil and minimize the appearance of pores. Meanwhile, Mandelic acid and Glycolic acid work together to chemically exfoliate while Urea restores moisture and hydration.
