ZO® Exfoliating Cleanser Side Effects and Precautions
ZO® Exfoliating Cleanser is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, but individuals with sensitive skin or those who are using multiple exfoliating treatments may experience mild side effects.
- Common side effects:
- Mild redness or irritation (especially when overused)
- Dryness if used excessively or in conjunction with other exfoliating products
- A tingling sensation during application (may subside with regular use)
- Precautions:
- Avoid contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Limit use to once a day for individuals with sensitive or very dry skin to avoid excessive exfoliation.
- Follow with a moisturizer and sunscreen during the day, as exfoliation can make the skin more susceptible to sun damage.

ZO® Exfoliating Cleanser Drug Interactions
ZO® Exfoliating Cleanser is generally safe to use with most other skincare products, but caution is advised when combining it with strong exfoliants, retinoids, or acid-based treatments. Overuse of multiple exfoliating products may increase the risk of skin irritation or dryness.
- Safe to use with:
- Moisturizers and serums
- Sunscreens (especially important due to potential sun sensitivity post-exfoliation)
- Use with caution:
- Retinoids: Combining retinoids and exfoliants can increase skin sensitivity.
- Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHAs): These acids can intensify exfoliation, leading to over-exfoliation if used too frequently.
Users should introduce active treatments gradually and space them out to prevent irritation.
