Healthy Skin Starts with the Basics

Getting Skin Ready® (GSR®) is the essential first step to bring skin back to its healthiest state. This simple ZO® Skin Health protocol of cleansing, exfoliating and toning works synergistically to promote skin health restoration and to optimize the effectiveness of our more advanced prevent and correct products, programs and protocols. The GSR® protocol is designed to:

Remove surface oil, makeup + pollutants that can cause breakouts and contribute to premature skin aging

• Initiate renewal of skin’s upper layers to improve texture
• Enhance penetration of corrective products to optimize overall results
• Improve microcirculation for a healthier-appearing complexion

The GSR® protocol for all skin types consists of Gentle Cleanser, Exfoliating Polish and Complexion Renewal Pads. This regimen is designed to address the most common skin concerns with the exception of concerns specific to sensitized, very dry, very oily and/or blemish prone skin types.

Gentle Cleanser

The GSR® protocol for oily + blemish prone skin consists of Exfoliating Cleanser, Dual Action Scrub + Acne Treatment Pads. This regimen is designed to help decongest pores, minimize excess surface oil and reduce the occurrence of breakouts.

Exfoliating Cleanser

The GSR® protocol for dry + sensitized skin consists of Hydrating Cleanser, Exfoliating Polish and Calming Toner. This regimen is designed to help hydrate, soothe and replenish moisture in dry, itchy and irritated skins.

Hydrating Cleanser

The GSR^® protocol for normal to sensitized + post-treatment skin consists of Balancing Cleansing Emulsion, Exfoliating Polish and Calming Toner. This regimen is designed to help soothe dry skin, as well as skin that is sensitized after in-office treatments.

At the 8-week interval of a clinical study, patients self-assessed the efficacy of GSR®, reporting statistical improvements across all benefits measured.

62% improvement in DULLNESS

69% improvement in OILINESS

60% improvement in REDNESS

73% improvement in ROUGHNESS
