Daily Power Defense has been elevated with ZO’s exclusive technologies, including the innovative ZPOLY™ complex, to promote a long-lasting, youthful, and healthy complexion.
Why did ZO change the Daily Power Defense formula?
The 'Next-Generation' upgrade is a massive clinical improvement. The original formula contained a trace amount of retinol. Dr. Obagi removed the retinol and added the proprietary ZPOLY™ complex to make DPD a pure, uncompromising barrier repair serum. This allows you to use DPD as a soothing base layer underneath high-strength ZO retinols without compounding the irritation.
Is this considered a moisturizer?
No. Daily Power Defense is a highly functional, corrective barrier serum. While it does provide lightweight hydration to strengthen the skin's lipid barrier, clients with exceptionally dry skin will still want to layer a traditional hydrator (like ZO Hydrating Crème or Renewal Crème) over the top of it.
Can I use this with Vitamin C?
Yes, they work perfectly together. While DPD contains the ZOX12® antioxidant complex, layering a dedicated Vitamin C serum underneath it will provide maximum environmental protection and brightening benefits.
How does it act as a 'Retinol Buffer'?
If you apply a harsh retinol directly to bare skin, it causes a rapid, aggressive inflammatory response. By applying Daily Power Defense to the skin first, you create a fortified, healthy barrier. Applying the retinol over the DPD slows its absorption slightly, delivering the anti-aging benefits while significantly minimizing the 'retinol uglies.'
Is Daily Power Defense good for blemish-prone skin?
Yes, it is highly recommended. It is completely non-comedogenic and ultra-lightweight. Furthermore, active breakouts is an inflammatory condition. The ZPOLY™ complex in DPD is specifically engineered to reduce visible visible redness, helping to calm active breakouts and support a healthy skin barrier.
How often should I apply it?
For optimal results, Daily Power Defense should be applied twice daily—every morning and every evening—immediately after cleansing and toning (the ZO 'Getting Skin Ready' step), and before any other correctives or sunscreens.
Is the Next-Generation formula safe for pregnancy?
Yes! Because the Next-Generation formula officially removed the retinol, it is now widely considered safe and highly beneficial for use during pregnancy and nursing to maintain barrier health. (As always, consult your healthcare provider when starting new skincare regimens).
Are WeDoSkin.ca ZO products authentic?
Yes. ZO Skin Health is a strictly physician-dispensed brand. WeDoSkin is a fully Authorized Canadian Clinical Retailer, guaranteeing your products are 100% authentic, clinically fresh, and stored optimally to preserve the delicate enzymes and ZPOLY complexes.

ZO Skin Health Daily Power Defense is an advanced antioxidant and skin barrier repair serum designed to strengthen the skin’s natural defenses, improve hydration, and protect against environmental stressors that accelerate visible aging. As one of ZO Skin Health’s bestselling treatments, this clinically tested formula combines proprietary antioxidant technology, plant-derived polysaccharides, and specialized skin-supporting enzymes to promote a healthier, smoother, and more resilient complexion.
Healthy, youthful-looking skin begins with a strong protective barrier. Daily exposure to UV radiation, pollution, oxidative stress, and environmental aggressors can weaken the skin’s defenses, contribute to moisture loss, and accelerate the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and visible irritation. When barrier function becomes compromised, skin may become increasingly vulnerable to dehydration, sensitivity, and premature aging.
Daily Power Defense takes a comprehensive approach to these concerns by addressing both skin barrier integrity and the environmental factors associated with premature aging. Rather than functioning as a conventional moisturizer or basic antioxidant serum, this advanced treatment helps reinforce the skin’s protective barrier while supporting hydration, comfort, and long-term resilience.
At the heart of the formula is ZO-RRS2®, ZO Skin Health’s exclusive plant stem cell complex designed to help neutralize free radicals and soothe the appearance of visible redness. This targeted antioxidant technology helps defend against oxidative stress while promoting a calmer, more balanced-looking complexion.
The formula also features ZPOLY™, a proprietary plant-derived polysaccharide complex that provides extended hydration while helping minimize the visible signs of premature aging. By supporting moisture retention and skin comfort, ZPOLY™ helps maintain a smoother, more supple complexion throughout the day.
Vitamins A and E provide additional antioxidant support, helping defend against environmental factors that contribute to visible skin aging. Specialized enzymes, including Micrococcus Lysate and Arabidopsis Thaliana Extract, complement the formula by supporting optimal skin cell health and overall skin resilience.
Clinically tested to deliver visibly healthier-looking skin in just two weeks, Daily Power Defense is designed to become the foundation of a consistent preventative and corrective skincare routine. With continued use, skin appears stronger, calmer, more hydrated, and better equipped to maintain its youthful-looking appearance.
Suitable for all skin types, Daily Power Defense can be incorporated into both simple daily skincare routines and advanced ZO Skin Health regimens targeting wrinkles, pigmentation, texture, or other visible signs of aging.

What Makes This Unique
ZO-RRS2® Antioxidant Technology
ZO-RRS2® is an exclusive plant stem cell complex developed to help neutralize free radicals while soothing visible redness.
Environmental stressors can contribute to oxidative damage, uneven skin quality, and premature visible aging. ZO-RRS2® provides targeted antioxidant support to help maintain a healthier-looking complexion.
Its soothing benefits also make it valuable for skin experiencing visible redness or environmental stress.
ZPOLY™ Hydration Technology
ZPOLY™ is a proprietary plant-derived polysaccharide complex designed to provide extended hydration while helping minimize signs of premature aging.
By supporting moisture retention and overall skin comfort, this technology helps maintain a smoother, more supple, and resilient-looking complexion.
Vitamins A + E
These antioxidant vitamins help defend against environmental factors associated with visible skin aging.
Vitamin E provides antioxidant and skin-conditioning support, while Vitamin A contributes to the formula’s comprehensive antioxidant defense.
Micrococcus Lysate + Arabidopsis Thaliana Extract
These specialized enzyme ingredients are included to encourage optimal skin cell health and support the skin’s natural protective functions.
Together, these technologies make Daily Power Defense a multifunctional treatment focused on barrier strength, antioxidant protection, hydration, and long-term skin quality.

Let customers speak for us
I bought this cream for my daughter who had used a bit of mine and loved it. We have very sensitive skin so we’re always on the lookout for medical grade systems. This cream is great for our skin, it leaves the skin so soft and smooth. I would recommend it to others.
I absolutely love this SPF. I have sensitive skin and it does not irritate. It’s not greasy and not white cast.
Great exfoliator! As an avid Gardner, I needed a product that would remove dirt and dry flaky skin while leaving my skin refreshed, smooth and hydrated. This product checks all those boxes. Will definitely repurchase.
Shipping was fast! Mask is easy to use and fits very well. It leaves skin refreshing and brighter.
Absolutely love this product. It was recommended by my dermatologist and has not disappointed. Light on the skin and leaves a lovely soft tinted glow. Best sunscreen I have ever tried and believe me I am a skin cancer survivor, I have tried alot. I also use the HydraRich moisturizer. Another awesome product. Goes on light and leaves my face feeling refreshed .
I love this product! The tint adjusts perfectly to my skin tone and gives me just enough coverage to wear it on its own. It doesn't feel heavy or greasy, and my skin looks smooth, even, and glowing. Plus, the SPF 50 protection gives me confidence that my skin is protected every day. Definitely a staple in my skincare routine.
Love this. Hydrating...Added to my normal moisturizing balm. Great for again skin
This cleans the skin really well and the gentle scrubbing feels nice.
Love this product and the tingling sensation is completely normal.
Shipping was fast. The product itself is good, easy to apply, and skin feels smooth and even toned. It would be nice to have different shades.
My favourite sunscreen by far!
I like having the tint because I don’t wear makeup everyday but it still provides a bit of coverage.
I haven’t used the product long enough as yet to see results over time, but so far I much like the product consistency and skin absorption.
Love this product it makes my skin so glowy.
Staple in my routine! It is effective but gentle. I use it once a week
Works great but left stains on my pillow.
