Dr. Zein Obagi is one of the most famous physician developers in the world for skin care products. His products have been offered exclusively in plastic surgeon and dermatologist offices for many years.
With his ZO line called ZO Skin Health, Dr. Obagi starts with education about Getting Skin Ready. Good skin improvement and health maintenance begins with these:
- proper cleanser
- scrubbing product to polish away dead skin cells
- pads saturated with product that brings skin to proper PH level
- Power Defense keeping free radicals (“bad stuff”) out and moisture (“good stuff”) in
Without the proper preparation of the skin, a person might put on day cremes, night cremes, or medicinal products but simply waste the cost of expensive products. Why? Because the product will sit on top of a dead layer of skin cells that cannot be properly penetrated to do their work effectively. Skin cells are constantly dying and moving to the upper layer of skin, called the outer “mantle,” where they naturally slough off. With the proper cleanse, polish, and skin PH, the other ZO products can be most effective. Those include products for improvements in:
- Wrinkle and Skin Texture
- Skin Correction for acne
- Firming
- Pore refiners
- Day and Night Hydration
- Redness (such as Rosacea)
- Dark patches (such as Melasma)
- Sun Protection
