About This Treatment

ZO Skin Health GSR (Getting Skin Ready) is a 3-step system developed by Dr. Zein Obagi to optimize skin's foundation.

① Gentle Cleanser: amino acid-based cleansing ② Exfoliating Polish: ultra-fine magnesium crystal mechanical + enzymatic exfoliation ③ Complexion Renewal Pads: glycolic + salicylic acid pads for oil/dead cell control

This foundational system maximizes penetration of subsequent active ingredients.

Mechanism of Action

Glycolic acid selectively dissolves desmosome bonds to promote natural exfoliation. Lipophilic salicylic acid penetrates pores to soften sebum plugs. Magnesium crystal physical polishing removes surface dead cells. This 3-stage approach normalizes the stratum corneum and maximizes transdermal absorption of subsequent actives.

Indications

Pigmentation / dullnessPoresGeneral indication (see detailed description)

Expected Results
