Targeted concerns: Uneven skin tone, discolouration, dullness, sun damage, and textural irregularities.

Formulated to deliver visible brightening results, ZO® Retinol Skin Brightener 0.25% is a gentle yet powerful solution for dull or uneven skin. This retinol-based treatment supports natural cellular turnover to help even skin tone, smooth rough texture, and minimize the appearance of discolouration.

Now enhanced with oleosome technology for targeted, time-released delivery and bakuchiol for added soothing benefits, this advanced formula helps clarify the complexion without unnecessary irritation. A proprietary brightening blend provides broad-spectrum inhibition of pigment production pathways, reinforcing a more radiant and uniform appearance over time.
