ZO® Exfoliating Polish Side Effects and Precautions
While ZO® Exfoliating Polish is formulated for all skin types, individuals with sensitive skin may experience minor side effects such as irritation, especially when using the product too frequently or applying excessive pressure during exfoliation. These effects are typically mild and resolve quickly.
- Possible Side Effects:
- Redness or irritation in sensitive areas
- Dryness if overused
- Tingling sensation on application
- Precautions:
- Avoid applying the product to broken, irritated, or inflamed skin.
- Individuals with very sensitive skin should reduce the frequency of use and apply the product gently to avoid over-exfoliation.
- It is crucial to follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen if using the product during the day, as exfoliation can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun.

ZO® Exfoliating Polish Drug Interactions
ZO® Exfoliating Polish is safe to use with most other skincare products, but caution is advised when using it in conjunction with strong exfoliants, retinoids, or acid-based treatments (such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid). Combining multiple exfoliating agents can increase the risk of skin irritation or dryness.
- Safe to use with:
- Moisturizers
- Serums (non-active ingredients)
- Sunscreens
- Use with caution:
- Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHAs): Using multiple exfoliants may cause over-exfoliation.
- Retinoids: Excessive exfoliation may lead to irritation or increased sensitivity, so it’s essential to space out applications.
To minimize irritation, users are advised to apply active treatments (like retinoids or acids) on days when the exfoliating polish is not used.
ZO® Exfoliating Polish Instructions for Use
ZO® Exfoliating Polish is simple to incorporate into a daily skincare routine. Proper application and use are critical to maximizing the benefits of exfoliation without damaging the skin.
- Step-by-Step Usage:
- Cleanse: Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oil.
- Exfoliate: Apply a small amount of the exfoliating polish to damp skin. Gently massage in circular motions, focusing on areas with rough patches or clogged pores.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to ensure all product and dead skin cells are removed.
- Pat Dry: Gently pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
- Follow with treatment: Use a serum, moisturizer, or sunscreen, as needed. If using in the morning, sunscreen is essential due to the increased sun sensitivity caused by exfoliation.
By following this routine, users can maintain smooth, healthy skin without causing irritation or over-exfoliating.
