ZO Skin Health Clear Renewal is a next-generation retinol treatment developed specifically for oily, congested, and blemish-prone skin experiencing persistent breakouts, excess surface oil, uneven texture, and lingering post-acne marks. Combining 0.3% encapsulated retinol with 1% salicylic acid and advanced skin-balancing technologies, this targeted corrective formula helps visibly refine pores, smooth rough texture, and reduce the appearance of post-blemish discolouration while supporting a clearer, healthier-looking complexion.

Blemish-prone skin often experiences more than active breakouts. Even after blemishes subside, residual discoloration, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, and excess oil can remain, making the complexion appear congested and irregular. Traditional acne treatments may address surface oil or individual breakouts without supporting the skin renewal processes needed to improve these lingering concerns. Clear Renewal takes a more comprehensive approach by targeting visible blemishes, post-acne marks, congestion, and premature signs of aging within one advanced treatment.

At the heart of the formula is ZO-RDS™ Retinol Delivery System, ZO Skin Health’s exclusive biomimetic liposomal technology designed to deliver retinol through a controlled-release mechanism. This innovative encapsulation helps protect retinol against oxidation and degradation while supporting targeted delivery and improved skin tolerability. By promoting natural cellular turnover, the 0.3% retinol helps refine the appearance of uneven texture, reduce visible post-blemish marks, and support smoother-looking skin.

The formula is further enhanced with 1% Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid recognized for its ability to exfoliate within pores and help remove accumulated oil and dead surface cells. This pore-focused action complements retinol’s renewing benefits by addressing congestion and excess sebum, two common contributors to blemish-prone skin.

Additional targeted ingredients, including Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, Rose Canina Fruit Extract, Cetyl Tranexamate Mesylate, and ZO-RRS2 technology, complement the formula’s focus on visible redness, uneven tone, and skin resilience. Together, these ingredients help promote a more balanced complexion while supporting skin comfort throughout the corrective process.

Unlike conventional retinol treatments focused primarily on wrinkles or pigmentation, ZO Clear Renewal is specifically formulated to address the intersection of blemishes, post-acne discoloration, excess oil, and visible aging. Its targeted approach makes it particularly relevant for adults experiencing persistent breakouts alongside uneven texture, residual marks, and early signs of aging.

With consistent use, skin appears clearer, smoother, and more refined, with reduced visible congestion, improved tone uniformity, and a healthier-looking balance.

What Makes This Unique

ZO-RDS™ Retinol Delivery System

ZO-RDS™ is ZO Skin Health’s exclusive retinol encapsulation technology, utilizing a biomimetic liposomal system engineered for controlled release and targeted delivery.

Traditional retinol formulas can be associated with dryness, redness, and irritation, particularly when introduced into an active skincare routine. ZO-RDS™ helps address these challenges by protecting retinol against oxidation and degradation while optimizing its delivery.

Within Clear Renewal, this technology supports cellular turnover, visible texture refinement, and improvement in post-blemish marks while helping minimize irritation.
