Key Ingredients

• Z-SEB³™ (Eugenia Uniflora Leaf Extract, Syringa Vulgaris Extract, Rosa Canina Extract) — ZO®’s proprietary sebum-targeting complex combining three botanical extracts that work synergistically to minimize excess surface sebum and help promote a balanced skin microbiome. By targeting the root cause of shine and congestion at the sebum level, Z-SEB³™ delivers a clear, shine-free complexion with consistent daily use.
• Water-Soluble Salicylic Acid — A water-soluble form of salicylic acid that powerfully decongests skin and refines the look of pores in a gentle, non-drying delivery. Unlike oil-soluble salicylic acid formulations, the water-soluble form provides effective pore-clearing and exfoliating action without the dryness or irritation that can accompany traditional BHA treatments, making it suitable for daily use across a range of skin types.
• ZO-RRS2® (Plant Stem Cell Complex) — ZO®’s exclusive plant stem cell complex that soothes visible redness while simultaneously neutralizing damaging free radicals generated by environmental aggressors. Its dual anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action addresses the redness and oxidative stress that often accompany oily and blemish-prone skin conditions.
• ZPOLY™ (Plant-Derived Polysaccharide Complex) — ZO®’s exclusive plant-derived polysaccharide complex that supports the skin’s protective barrier function and helps minimize the visible signs of premature skin aging. Its barrier-supporting properties ensure that the clarifying and sebum-controlling actives in the formula do not compromise the skin’s moisture balance or resilience.

How to Use

Apply Complexion Clarifying Serum to clean, dry skin each morning and evening. Use the automatic-fill dropper to dispense the serum, then apply evenly to the face. Allow to absorb fully before applying moisturizer and sunscreen. For best results, use consistently twice daily as part of a complete ZO Skin Health regimen.
