Frequently Asked Questions
What is retinol?
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that supports healthy cell turnover, helping the skin shed dead cells and replace them with fresh ones. It addresses visible signs of aging, surface discoloration, and blemish-prone skin concerns.
What are the retinol benefits?
Retinol visibly reduces fine lines, evens skin tone, refines surface texture, and helps address blemish-prone skin. It supports healthy cell turnover throughout. Concentration and consistency determine results. Your physician guides both.
Retinol vs. Retinoid: What's the difference?
Retinoids are all vitamin A derivatives, including prescription-strength and over-the-counter options. Retinol converts to retinoic acid gradually after application, making it less likely to irritate than stronger prescription retinoids like tretinoin.
How often should I use retinol?
New users usually start at a lower frequency and increase gradually as tolerated. Your physician will tailor concentration, frequency, and layering order to your specific skin and aging stage.
Is it good to use retinol cream every day?
It depends on the dosage recommended by your physician. Once your skin has acclimated, daily use can deliver consistent results. Pair with adequate hydration and daily broad-spectrum ZO® sunscreen.
At what age should I start using retinol?
There is no fixed age: it depends on skin concerns and goals. Prevention can start in your mid-twenties. For blemish-prone skin, earlier use may be appropriate. Consult a ZO-authorized physician before starting.
