Zo Skin health has helped a lot with lightening up my malasma 😁👍

So great to hear you are noticing real changes!

Miracle for blemishes

I am obsessed with Zo products. They’re retinol is really effective and a little bit goes a long way. I started off using it once every few days to ensure I could get used to it without drying my skin out too much. I purchased the 1 percent but as I’m only in my 40’s I think a smaller percentage would have been wiser. Next time.

HI Melissa,
Yes this is a great product. It is important that we gently introduce retinol to the skin. I believe that using a daily dose of lower % will benefit the skin as much if not better than jumping in to too strong a dosage. You could do .5% for a few months, Then gradually introduce the 1% a few times a week till you transition to 1% daily. Keep on moisturizing.
