ZO Skin Health Retinol Skin Brightener 0.25% – Advanced Skincare Solution
Gentle Retinol Brightening Treatment for Improved Tone & Clarity
Size: 50 ml
Skin Type: All skin types, especially dull, uneven, sun-damaged, and pigmentation-prone skin; perfect for first-time retinol users
Skin Concern: Uneven skin tone, early pigmentation, dullness, texture irregularities, mild discoloration, early signs of aging
Texture: Lightweight, silky brightening lotion
ZO Retinol Skin Brightener 0.25% is the starter strength in the ZO brightening retinol series—ideal for those new to retinol or sensitive skin types looking to improve overall tone, clarity, and brightness.
This gentle, slow-release retinol lotion uses 0.25% encapsulated retinol paired with brightening antioxidants to help fade uneven pigmentation, brighten the complexion, and smooth textural irregularities without overwhelming the skin.
Designed as a daily-use tone-correcting treatment, it supports natural cell turnover, reduces dullness, and improves the appearance of early sun damage. Anti-inflammatory botanicals and hydrating ingredients help reinforce the skin barrier, minimizing the typical retinol dryness or irritation.
With consistent use, skin appears:
• More even and radiant
• Smoother and clearer
• Better hydrated with improved texture
• Naturally brighter with a healthy glow
This formula is the ideal entry point before progressing to the 0.5% and 1% strengths for enhanced brightening and resurfacing results.
