Usage

Directions

Retinol Skin Brightener is a high-potency retinol treatment. If you have not been using retinol, begin use gradually.

  • Following cleansing, apply to clean, dry skin twice a week
  • Increase frequency to alternate days
  • Then, increase use to every day as tolerated

Anticipated Reactions

Redness, flakiness, dryness, burning, or stinging are all normal, anticipated reactions when starting retinol. With regular product use, skin will acclimate, revealing a smoother, more even-toned and youthful-looking complexion. Pair your retinol with a ZO® functional hydrator to minimize anticipated reactions. Consult a physician for customized retinol protocol. Like prescription retinoic acid, retinol will make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Wear SPF 30 or higher daily.

      FAQs

      What is Retinol Skin Brightener 1% and what does it do?

      Retinol Skin Brightener 1% is a potent treatment formulated with 1% retinol to help accelerate skin renewal, improve texture, and enhance brightness. It works to reduce the appearance of fine lines, dullness, and uneven tone with consistent use.

      How do I use Retinol Skin Brightener 1%?

      Start by applying a small amount to clean, dry skin in the evening. Gently smooth over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Use 1–2 times per week initially, and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.

      Can I use this with other products like Daily Power Defense or sunscreen?

      Yes. Retinol Skin Brightener 1% can be incorporated into your routine with other products. Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning, as retinol can increase sensitivity to UV exposure. Barrier-supporting products like Daily Power Defense can help maintain hydration and minimize irritation.

      When will I see results from Retinol Skin Brightener 1%?

      Results vary by skin type and tolerance. Many users notice improvements in texture and radiance within 4–8 weeks. Optimal results typically develop with continued, consistent nightly use over several months. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency and consult with a skincare professional.
