ZO Skin Health

ZO Skin Health was founded by Dr. Zein Obagi, a board-certified dermatologist renowned for developing the Obagi Nu-Derm system. After departing Obagi Medical, Dr. Obagi created ZO Skin Health to continue his work on what he calls 'skin health restoration' -- a comprehensive approach that goes beyond treating individual conditions to optimizing overall skin function. ZO products are physician-dispensed and feature retinol, growth factors, and aggressive depigmenting agents at professional-strength concentrations. The brand is sold exclusively through dermatologists and medical spas.
