Dual Action Scrub

ZO Skin Health Dual Action Scrub is a dual chemical and physical exfoliating scrub formulated to gently clear breakouts while leaving skin exceptionally smooth and radiant. Combining lactic acid and salicylic acid for chemical exfoliation with eco-friendly round wax beads for non-abrasive physical exfoliation, and enhanced with the ZO-RRS2® plant stem cell complex for antioxidant protection and visible redness reduction, this scrub delivers comprehensive pore decongestion, oil control, and skin-smoothing benefits in a single step. Suitable for use on both the face and body.

Formulated specifically for oily and acne-prone skin, Dual Action Scrub addresses the buildup of dead skin cells, excess sebum, and congested pores that contribute to breakouts and a dull, uneven complexion. Its dual-mechanism approach — chemical exfoliation to dissolve pore-clogging debris and physical exfoliation to buff away surface dead skin cells — delivers more thorough and effective results than either method alone, while the round wax beads ensure a gentle, non-irritating physical exfoliation that is safe for regular use.

Skin Types

Formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. Suitable for use on the face and body. Its dual-action exfoliation approach is particularly effective for those experiencing congested pores, excess oil production, and breakouts who require more thorough exfoliation than a standard cleanser can provide.

Skin Concerns

Addresses excess surface oil, congested and enlarged pores, active breakouts, dead skin cell buildup, dullness, and uneven skin texture. Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin seeking a regular exfoliating treatment that simultaneously decongests pores, controls oil, and smooths skin texture.

Key Ingredients

• Lactic Acid — An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk that gently dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells at the surface, accelerating cell turnover and revealing smoother, brighter skin beneath. Lactic acid’s larger molecular size compared to glycolic acid makes it a gentler AHA option, providing effective chemical exfoliation with a lower risk of irritation — ideal for regular use on oily and acne-prone skin.
• Salicylic Acid — A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate into the pore and dissolve the sebum and dead skin cell buildup that cause congestion and breakouts. Working synergistically with lactic acid, salicylic acid decongests pores from within while the AHA exfoliates the skin’s surface — delivering a more comprehensive exfoliation than either acid alone.
• Round Wax Beads — Eco-friendly, biodegradable round wax beads that provide gentle, non-abrasive physical exfoliation. Unlike irregular-shaped scrub particles (such as crushed walnut shell or apricot kernel) that can cause micro-tears in the skin, the perfectly round shape of these wax beads ensures a smooth, controlled physical exfoliation that buffs away surface dead skin cells without irritation or damage.
• ZO-RRS2® (Plant Stem Cell Complex) — ZO®’s exclusive plant stem cell complex that provides powerful antioxidant protection against free radical damage while simultaneously reducing visible redness. Its dual antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action helps calm and balance the skin during the exfoliation process, ensuring that Dual Action Scrub remains comfortable and well-tolerated even for reactive or sensitized oily skin.

How to Use

After cleansing, gently massage a small amount of Dual Action Scrub onto damp face and neck as needed. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. For best results, follow with the rest of your ZO® Getting Skin Ready® Regimen. Can also be used on the body for areas requiring exfoliation and oil control.
