ZO Skin Health Ossential™ Radical Night Repair

I’ll admit, I had some really great product just waiting for me to try and I kept putting it off. Why? Because the philosophy behind the skin care line was that moisturizers are basically a waste and you shouldn’t use them. WHAT?! My whole life, I’ve been taught the 4 skin care rules: Wash, exfoliate, tone and moisturize. Simple and seemed to work.

Finally, I pulled out the Anti-Aging Jumpstart Program from ZO Skin Health. To be fair, I should tell you a bit about Dr Obagi‘s philosophy before telling you about the products. From his website, ZOSkinHealth.com:

Dr. Obagi’s philosophy is simple, “To win the battle on aging, give it your best shot.” He believes that you must restore skin health before you see skin vitality. His philosophy and methods are aggressive, and they work – if you are committed. So if you’re ready to fight aging and you’re willing to fight hard, see how ZO Skin Health can:

* Create change at the cellular level
* Re-energize aging skin and constantly stimulate cellular function
* Saturate skin with stabilized retinol, advanced peptides and powerful anti-oxidants for continuous stimulation and repair
* Diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, improve tone and texture and increase skin firmness and elasticity
* Calm your skin from the constant activation and stimulation with anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant agents

Regarding the lack of moisturizer in the ZO Skin Health line, Dr. Obagi believes that if your skin is healthy, you don’t need to ADD moisturizer to it. So, get your skin healthy with his products and your skin will be able to nourish, repair and maintain itself.

I’ll just admit up front that I am AMAZED at how wonderful these products are. I had been using some 5% hydroquinone that I bought from my dermatologist and was frustrated with the results. The spots I was trying to fade weren’t and my skin was just dry and flaky. With Zo Skin Health, my spots are fading and my skin is healthy, not flaky.

While the line all works together, I am specifically impressed with the Ossential Radical Night Repair. The product feels so silky! I use one small pump of product each night before bed and it’s enough to spread over my entire face. Usually I feel like I have to slather on a ton of product to feel moisturized for the night.

The Ossential Radical Night Repair contains:

* Retinol: a pure derivative of Vitamin A and the most vital component of any anti-aging skincare program. It is clinically proven to be the most effective anti-aging ingredient to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone and increase epidermal thickness.
* Vitamin C: a potent anti-oxidant, which stimulates collagen synthesis and protects skin by reducing free radicals and the visible signs of aging.
* Vitamin E: the antioxidant most frequently recommended by dermatologists to fight free radicals and repair damaged skin cells.
* Coenzyme Q10: essential for healthy skin. Natural CoQ10 levels decrease with age, thus these powerful anti-oxidant coenzymes must be supplemented to fight free radicals and reduce aging symptoms.
* Crithmum Maritimum Marine Extract: reduces free radicals and improves cellular function while controlling sebum to restore overall skin health.
* Bisabolol: a natural, botanical ingredient that reduces inflammation and calms the skin.

If you are one who loves an all natural product, this line isn’t for you. If you are someone who is willing to be aggressive with your skincare for results you’ll love, then ZO Skin Health may well be the next line for you.

However, be prepared to pay a pretty penny for pretty skin with this line. The Anti-Aging Jumpstart Kit is $250. It’s worth it if you have the money to make the investment in your skin! Now through January 5, you’ll also receive a FREE Ossential Daily Power Defense ($175 value) when you purchase with every Anti-Aging Jumpstart Kit.
