🔹 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.
