ZO Skin Health - Gentle Cleanser

Call to Order- ZO Gentle Cleanser is a silky gel cleanser that removes oil, makeup, and other impurities while leaving skin refreshed rather than tight. It is the default first step in most ZO protocols and works for all skin types.

The value of a genuinely neutral cleanser is easy to underestimate. Cleansing is where most routines quietly create the redness and sensitivity patients later blame on their actives, and a cleanser that removes what needs removing without disturbing the barrier makes everything that follows work better.

The gel texture rinses completely with no residue, which matters because a film left behind interferes with the absorption of the serums applied next.

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water. Hot water compromises the barrier.
2. Massage a small amount over the face and neck for 30 to 60 seconds.
3. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
4. Use morning and evening.

If you wear sunscreen and makeup daily, use a cleansing oil or balm first, then this as your second step.

Gentle Gel Surfactant System: removes oil, makeup, and impurities without disrupting the skin's pH or stripping barrier lipids.

Soothing Agents: help keep the skin comfortable through daily cleansing.

Silky gel base that rinses completely with no residue.

• Deeply cleans to remove oil, makeup, and other impurities.
• Leaves skin refreshed rather than tight.
• Silky gel formulation ideal for all skin types.
• Rinses completely with no residue.
• Works as a standalone cleanser or the second step of a double cleanse.
• The foundational first step in most ZO protocols.

When patients tell our providers their skin has become sensitive, the cleanser is the first thing we examine. Sulfate foaming washes, hot water, and cleansing brushes together will make almost any skin reactive within weeks.

A neutral cleanser like this one is the fix, and it is deliberately unremarkable. It removes what needs removing and leaves the barrier alone, which is exactly what a cleanser should do.

Two habits worth adopting alongside it: lukewarm water rather than hot, and fingertips rather than a brush or cloth. This one is not available to buy online. To request it, call L&P Skin Shop on (650) 508-6565.
