Wrinkle and Texture Repair contains 0.5% High Potency Retinol that penetrates to the dermis. It is a fast-acting strong retinol.

This product was formerly called Retamax. It is the ZO retinol recommended for mixing with their hydroquinone product Pigment Control and Blending.

The ZO Skin Health Wrinkle and repair contains Retinol.

Retinol is our most powerful skin rejuvenator. It exfoliates, tightens pores, thickens the dermis (deeper layer of the skin), reduces wrinkles, and increases the ability of the skin to build and maintain higher levels of hyaluronic acid.

Retinol requires acclimation initially and can cause irritation, dryness, itchiness, peeling and overall sensitivity if not apply correctly in accordance to your skin’s sensitivity.

If you are new to retinol, you should start with a low concentration and when the skin gets acclimated then you can work your way to something of higher concentration.

Directions for use:

1. Cleanse the skin and apply Retinol to DRY skin-Use Retinol at night only
2. Start with 1/2 pea size of Retinol and apply on outer face first and then work inward, avoid the corners of the eyes, nose and mouth, wait few minutes and then apply moisturizer.
3. Apply product twice a week and slowly increase to every night over a month or two as your skin get acclimated and gradually increasing the amount of product to ½ pea size to 1 pump.
4. ALWAYS use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during the day when using retinol. Retinol increases sun sensitivity and irritation can occur.
5. When skin gets acclimated, AM usage can be effective, but only using it correctly can give you rejuvenating effects.
6. The neck reacts differently to retinol compared to the face. Side effects are itchy and red pumps when scratched, peeling, dryness, and redness. Retinol can rejuvenate the neck as well when tolerated. Be careful when starting retinol on the face to not pull it onto the neck without it being a planned event. Proceed with gentle acclimation over months and careful not to scratch, if it starts to itch. Scratching will create red pumps that take about 2 weeks to resolve.

What are the anticipated reactions to this strong retinol?

Redness, flakiness, dryness, burning, or stinging are all normal, anticipated reactions when starting retinol. To minimize this you should slowly acclimate by starting slow and increasing the days you apply it over time. A good regimen is start two times a week and stay on that schedule for a month, then increase the number of days to 3 days. Increase the days until you can use it every night.

Watch Dr. Bomer’s video for tips on Retinol application.

Why do I need to apply SPF while on retinol?
Retinol helps exfoliate the outer layer of your skin making it susceptible to sunburn and sun damage. If you do not use an SPF 30+ you might harm your skin. 

Because retinol can be drying, ZO recommends you use an advanced moisturizer like ZO Renewal Creme or ZO Hydrating Creme to minimize dryness.
