🔹 1. Multi-Step Action

Unlike standard peels that exfoliate only, the ZO peel combines:

• Exfoliation (Step 1) to remove surface pigment

• Retinol stimulation (Step 2) to drive active ingredients deeper and boost cellular turnover

• Antioxidant/Calming layer (Step 3) to reduce inflammation and support healing

👉 This multi-step process treats both surface and deeper pigment, which is crucial for melasma.

🔹 2. Deeper Penetration

• Contains 10% TCA, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and a high-potency retinol.

• Reaches deeper than superficial peels (like glycolic or lactic acid) for more significant pigment correction.

🔹 3. Long-Term Results

• Promotes ongoing skin renewal for weeks after the peel.

• Improves melanin regulation, helping prevent recurrence when combined with proper skincare and sun protection.

🔹 4. Medical-Grade Potency

• Only administered by trained professionals.

• Stronger than most spa-level or at-home peels, offering clinical-grade results.

🔹 5. Combats More Than Pigment

Also addresses:

• Fine lines

• Texture irregularities

• Dullness

• Acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

In summary:
While other chemical peels may offer short-term brightening, the ZO 3-Step Peel provides a comprehensive, deeper treatment approach that's more effective for stubborn, hormonally driven pigmentation like melasma.
