The third step of ZO’s Getting Skin Ready® protocol. A dual-acid formula of glycolic and salicylic acid helps smooth texture, brighten and decongest pores, while urea restores hydration to offset any drying effect. Swept over face, neck and décolletage after cleansing and exfoliating, the pads leave skin balanced and ready to absorb what follows.

Why Dr. Howarth recommends it
The finishing step of ZO’s Getting Skin Ready® sequence, which the rest of a ZO regimen is built on. The urea in the formula is there to offset the acids’ drying effect, and the manufacturer’s start-slowly ramp keeps it comfortable.
  • Minimizes surface oil and gently refines skin
  • Helps smooth, brighten and decongest pores
  • Urea replenishes hydration
  • Preps skin so later steps absorb better

After cleansing and exfoliating, wipe one pad gently over face, neck and décolletage and do not rinse. Start once daily at night, then build to morning and evening as skin acclimates, always following with SPF in the morning. Avoid the under-eye area if skin is sensitized, do not use on irritated or broken skin, and consult your physician before using acid-based products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
