ZO retinols are one of our most popular products and would be the gold standard for optimising skin health, however these products can leave your skin more sensitive and reactive to certain procedures. To keep your skin healthy and ensure the best results from advanced skin treatments (like lasers, peels or microneedling), it’s important to pause your retinol two weeks before a laser procedure and at least one week before other skin surface procedures (does not include injectables).
Retinol can increase skin sensitivity, so giving your skin a short break helps minimise irritation and supports a smoother, safer treatment experience.
