You certainly have your own routine of cleansing, serum, and cream applications, and many of the products you use can be found on shelves everywhere. The problem is that your skin may have different needs, based on your pH. Drugstore lotions and serums can help, but it takes a lot of trial and error to find the right skincare products for you, which makes using professional-recommended skincare products ideal.
Medical-grade skincare is often more effective at nourishing your skin compared to your average drugstore products. In this blog, you will find Dr. D’Souza’s recommendations for glowing skin.
Why Use Medical-Grade Skincare Products?
Skincare products can easily be found in all supermarkets. The problem is that with these products, there is a 44 percent chance that you will experience some side effects. Even if you don’t have any negative reactions, the products may not be able to provide the nourishment that you need.
Medical-grade skincare products are usually based on scientific research and made to offer results. These items often have high amounts of active ingredients like growth factors, glycolic acid, vitamin C, or retinoids. Based on your skin condition, you may need something stronger than what you can find on every shelf.
Top Skincare Products to Try
At Iconic Plastic Surgery, Dr. D’Souza recommends a selection of products from ZO® Skin Health and ZO® Medical, created by Dr. ZeinObagi. These products contain high-quality ingredients and work for specific skin conditions.
1. ZO® Multi-Therapy Hydroquinone Approach
Dealing with hyperpigmentation or sun spots is never fun, and almost always pushes you into using foundation. Dr. D’Souza recommends the ZO® Multi-Therapy Hydroquinone Approach treatment to combat this concern. This system aims to stabilize the melanocyte activity in your skin, which is responsible for your overproduction of melanin. With regular application, the ZO® Multi-Therapy Hydroquinone Approach should reduce even the more severe cases of hyperpigmentation. Dr. D’Souza recommends adding an exfoliating treatment in the routine as well, to improve your results.
2. ZO® Severe Acne System
Acne is a stubborn visitor, and it seems that whenever you get beyond a breakout, another one turns a corner. The ZO® Severe Acne system can be a good assistant, as it can address all types of acne. This customizable treatment helps to reduce the inflammation caused by acne, minimize discoloration, promote a smoother skin texture, and lower sebum production.
3. ZO® Non-Hydroquinone Hyperpigmentation System
If you have a less severe case of hyperpigmentation, then you can use the ZO® Non-Hydroquinone Hyperpigmentation System. Ideal for those with sensitive or darker skin, the absence of hydroquinone makes it less likely to cause reactions. It is also a good option for skin maintenance after using hydroquinone products.
4. ZO® Rosacea System
Packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, and anti-inflammatory ingredients, the ZO® Rosacea System is perfect for those who have rosacea. It can reduce the appearance of stubborn redness, pustules, papules, and enlarged pores. With regular treatment, it can help restore the glow of your skin.
5. ZO® Skin Health
Skin treatments work best when proper aftercare is provided. The ZO® Skin Health system is perfect for keeping your skin in good condition, preventing early signs of aging, and hydrating your skin. From cleansers to exfoliants and moisturizers, this system has everything you may need.
