ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1% FAQs

When do I use ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1%?

As this is a retinol product, your Face Dr Skin Expert should be able to advise on how often to use your product.

Is ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1% the right product for me?

The Zo Retinol Skin Brightener 1% helps target skin types with discoloration. Your Face Dr Skin Expert will be able to advise whether this retinol product will be right for your skin type.

How can I buy ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1%?

Once you have had an online consultation, you will be able to access your recommended ZO skincare products within your Face Dr account. Face Dr is an authorised stockist of ZO Skin Health. Watch out for sellers that are not authorised as they may deliver fake or out of date products.

Is ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1% suitable for beginners?

No. This is a high-strength retinol and is not recommended for first-time users. Beginners should start with ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 0.025%, 0.5% or another lower-strength retinol product.

How long does ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1% last?

How long your ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1% lasts will depend on how often you are instructed to use the product by your Skin Expert. Your Face Dr Skin Expert can offer advice on how much product to use and how often in your online consultation. As with many high-quality, medicated skincare products, a little will go a long way.

You are able to reorder ZO products by logging into your Face Dr Account. You can also submit a reorder form by following this link.

Can I use ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1% with other ZO products?

Yes. It can be used with serums like Daily Power Defense or Growth Factor Serum. Avoid layering it with other high-strength retinol treatments to minimise irritation.

Will ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1% cause peeling?

Yes, most likely. Peeling, redness, and dryness are normal initial reactions as the skin adjusts. Start gradually to reduce irritation and increase frequency as tolerance builds.

Can ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1% help with pigmentation?

Yes. Regular use promotes cell turnover, which helps fade mild pigmentation, post-acne marks, and uneven skin tone over time.

How long does it take to see results with ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 1%?

Improvements in texture and radiance may be noticed within 4 weeks, with more significant anti-ageing and brightening effects over 8–12 weeks of consistent use.
