How to Use ZO Skin Health Clear Renewal

Apply one pump to clean, completely dry skin, spreading a thin, even layer over the treatment area. Avoid the delicate eye area, corners of the nose, and lips.

If you are new to retinol or have sensitive skin: Begin in the evening 2–3 times per week. As your skin becomes accustomed to the retinol, gradually increase to every other night and then once daily as tolerated. ZO's product protocol allows use once daily during the first week and up to twice daily thereafter for skin that tolerates the product well. ZO Skin Health

Expect an adjustment period. Mild dryness, flaking, redness, or sensitivity can occur as your skin adapts to retinol. If irritation becomes significant, reduce the frequency of application and allow the skin to recover before gradually resuming use. ZO emphasizes that tolerance to retinol varies and that frequency should be adjusted accordingly. ZO Skin Health

Important: Do not apply Clear Renewal to irritated, compromised, or recently treated skin, including immediately following chemical peels or laser treatments. ZO also recommends consulting a physician before use if you are using benzoyl peroxide, other salicylic acid products, topical antibiotics, or oral isotretinoin. ZO Skin Health

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning and avoid excessive sun exposure while using retinol.

What is ZO Skin Health Clear Renewal used for?
ZO Skin Health Clear Renewal is a 0.3% retinol treatment for blemish-prone, oily and congested skin. It helps improve clogged pores, excess surface oil, uneven texture and the appearance of post-blemish marks while promoting a clearer, smoother and more even-looking complexion.

How is Clear Renewal different from other ZO retinol products?
Clear Renewal is specifically formulated for blemish-prone and oily skin. In addition to 0.3% encapsulated retinol, it contains 1% salicylic acid to help exfoliate and reduce pore congestion, along with ingredients that address excess oil, visible pores and uneven skin tone.

Does ZO Clear Renewal help with acne?
Clear Renewal is designed for blemish-prone skin and helps address several factors associated with breakouts, including pore congestion, excess surface oil and buildup of dead skin cells. It also helps improve the visible marks and uneven tone that can remain after blemishes resolve.

Does Clear Renewal help with post-acne marks and discoloration?
Yes. Retinol promotes cell turnover, while bakuchiol and cetyl tranexamate mesylate help improve uneven-looking skin tone and visible discoloration. This makes Clear Renewal particularly useful when blemishes have left persistent visible marks.

Will Clear Renewal cause dryness or irritation?
Retinol can cause temporary dryness, flaking, redness or sensitivity, particularly when you first begin using it. ZO-RDS™ encapsulated technology provides controlled, targeted retinol delivery to improve tolerability, but it is still important to introduce the product gradually and adjust frequency according to your skin's response.

How should I start using Clear Renewal if I am new to retinol?
Start slowly. Apply one pump to clean, completely dry skin in the evening 2–3 times per week. As your skin develops tolerance, gradually increase the frequency. If significant dryness, redness or irritation develops, decrease the frequency and allow your skin to recover before increasing again.

Can I use Clear Renewal every day?
Yes, if your skin tolerates it. ZO's protocol allows the frequency to increase as tolerance develops. There is no benefit to forcing more frequent application when your skin is persistently irritated—the goal is consistent retinol use at a frequency your skin can tolerate.

Can I use Clear Renewal with salicylic acid or other acne treatments?
Clear Renewal already contains 1% salicylic acid, so adding other exfoliating acids or strong acne treatments can increase irritation. If you use benzoyl peroxide, additional salicylic acid, prescription acne medications or other retinoids, discuss your regimen with your skincare professional or physician before combining them.

Can I use moisturizer with Clear Renewal?
Yes. A non-comedogenic moisturizer can be very helpful while your skin adjusts to retinol. If you are prone to dryness or sensitivity, moisturizer can help support the skin barrier and improve tolerability.

Do I need sunscreen while using Clear Renewal?
Yes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is essential when using retinol. Retinoid-based routines should always be paired with consistent sun protection, particularly when you are also treating post-blemish discoloration and uneven skin tone.

How long does it take to see results from Clear Renewal?
Changes in oiliness, congestion and skin texture may become noticeable before improvements in persistent post-blemish marks and uneven tone. Retinol works through continued use, so consistent application over several weeks and months is important for progressive improvement.

Who is ZO Clear Renewal best for?
Clear Renewal is particularly well suited to oily, blemish-prone or congested skin with uneven texture, visible pores and post-blemish discoloration. It may also be a good choice for someone who wants the skin-renewing benefits of retinol while specifically targeting blemish-related concerns.

Can I use Clear Renewal after a chemical peel, laser treatment or other procedure?
Not immediately. Retinol and salicylic acid can increase irritation when the skin barrier is recovering from a procedure. Stop and restart active products according to the instructions provided by your treating physician or skincare professional.
