Science and Ingredients

Prep Skin to Maximize Your Investment

Residual surface oil/sebum can impede absorption of topicals. These pads clear it away and gently refine skin, leaving a balanced, prepped canvas. So everything you apply next absorbs and works better.

Exfoliate a Level Deeper

Two chemical exfoliants work together to clear congestion at the source. Glycolic Acid dissolves dead skin cell bonds and promotes healthy cellular turnover, while Salicylic Acid penetrates deep into pores to clear away excess oil and debris.

Healthy Skin is a Balancing Act

Botanical Extracts provide skin with antioxidants that help calm and balance skin, for a more refined complexion. Urea helps to restore hydration, offsetting the potential drying effects of the dual-acid formula.

100% Plant-based Material

Pre-soaked, 100% plant-based pads deliver our exfoliation formula while providing gentle, smoothing benefits.

EXPERT GUIDANCE

Use 1-2 times daily. Start by applying once daily as part of your nightly routine, gradually increasing to both morning and evening as skin acclimates.

Wipe one pad gently over face, neck, and décolletage. Do not rinse.

Use after cleansing and exfoliating, as the third step in your Getting Skin Ready® protocol. Always follow with SPF in the morning. Pairs well with the ZO® Gentle Cleanser and ZO® Exfoliating Polish.

Some people may experience a tingly sensation and increased redness from increased blood flow. This is completely normal and temporary, as they will go away within minutes.

Avoid using under eyes if skin is senstitive or sensitized. Do not use on highly irritated or broken skin. Consult your physician before using any acid-based skincare product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Complexion Renewal Pads — are they a toner or an exfoliator?

Both. ZO® Complexion Renewal Pads are dual-action: glycolic acid chemically resurfaces the skin by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, while salicylic acid penetrates pores to remove oil and debris. One step delivers both exfoliation and toning, which is why Complexion Renewal Pads serve as the toning step of the Getting Skin Ready® system, used after cleansing and Exfoliating Polish.

How do I use ZO Complexion Renewal Pads?

After cleansing and Exfoliating Polish, sweep one Complexion Renewal Pad across the face, neck, and décolletage. Do not rinse. Proceed immediately to your active treatments. Use once or twice daily (AM and/or PM) as directed by your physician.

How often should I use Complexion Renewal Pads?

One to two times daily as part of the ZO Getting Skin Ready® system. Most users begin with once daily in the evening and build to twice daily (AM + PM) as skin acclimates to the dual-acid formula. Your physician may recommend a different frequency based on your skin type and condition.

What are the active ingredients in ZO Complexion Renewal Pads?

The key actives are glycolic acid (an AHA that resurfaces skin and supports cell turnover) and salicylic acid (a BHA that is oil-soluble, penetrating the pore lining to dissolve sebum and debris). A botanical extract blend provides anti-irritant and antioxidant support, and urea helps restore and maintain hydration, offsetting the drying potential of dual-acid use. For the full ingredient list, see the product label or consult your physician.

Are ZO Complexion Renewal Pads safe to use during pregnancy?

ZO® Skin Health recommends consulting your physician before using any acid-based skincare product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Salicylic acid is classified as an OTC drug ingredient in the US, and medical guidance applies. Your physician can recommend a pregnancy-safe system alternative based on your individual needs.

How are Complexion Renewal Pads different from Oil Control Pads?

ZO® makes both, but they serve different purposes. Complexion Renewal Pads are dual-acid toner pads (glycolic + salicylic acid) formulated for all skin types, focused on resurfacing, cell turnover, and pore clarity as the toning step of the Getting Skin Ready® system. Oil Control Pads Acne Treatment is a maximum-strength blemish prevention formula for oily or blemish-prone skin, containing 2% salicylic acid as the active acne ingredient, alongside glycolic and mandelic acid for additional exfoliation. If you are unsure which is right for your skin, your physician can advise based on your skin type and concerns.
