Many of us have heard of retinols for skin care. As interest grew during the pandemic, several retinols have come to market in the skincare industry.
Zo Skin Health is a premium skincare brand which is constantly innovating. In 2024 the brand launchesd Complex A+, a maximum concentration high-potency retinol that targets skin’s deeper layers to improve severe signs of aging including wrinkles, skin sagging + laxity.
Ingredient technologies in the product include:
Maximum Concentration Retinol 1.3% amplified with Bakuchiol
Works synergistically to improve the look of wrinkles, laxity, discoloration + rough texture
Vitamin A,C and E
Provides potent antioxidant protection and replenishes hydration to support a healthy skin barrier and prevent future aging
And Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate
To replenish hydration and help strengthen barrier function.
In addition to an elegant ingredient portfolio, Complex A+ also features a MICROEMULSION DELIVERY system, which is Zo Skin Health#s Unique delivery system that targets active ingredients with focus on the epidermal dermal junction, primarily targeting the dermis first, epidermis second.
This Targeted Delivery
•Optimizes fibroblast production of collagen (firmness) and elastin (tightness)
•Improves repair of preexisting, damaged collagen and elastin
•And Increases glycosaminoglycan (hydration) production
This is an aggressive retinol – so the reactions of redness, dryness and peeling are to be expected. Studies indicate that it can lead to significant improvements in multiple manifestations of ageing by 12 weeks in 100% of subjects.
By week 2 you could see an improved skin tone + overall healthier appreance, week 4 , more youthful radiance, week 8 a reduction of crows feet, and by week 12 you could also see a reduction in pore size, n facial wrinkles, and sagging/laxity.
The drawback is that because of the anticipated reactions it is not for everyone, so this is best used in clients who have used Zo Skin health retinols before. It is not for long term use, so it is important to switch down to a retinol more suitable for longer term use such as Wrinkle and Texture Repair.
People who are experienced with skin care may also find this useful as a Bootcamp retinol. Complex A+ can be the tretinoin alternative for anti-aging, brightening, acne and redness patients.
