Exfoliation Accelerator

ZO Skin Health Exfoliation Accelerator is a leave-on chemical exfoliant formulated with a 10% glycolic and lactic acid complex to aid in the removal of dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and accelerate cell turnover — while a calming and soothing blend of aloe, green tea, and chamomile ensures the skin remains comfortable and balanced throughout the exfoliation process. Enhanced with vitamins A and E as proven antioxidants, this gentle yet effective exfoliating treatment is suitable for all skin types seeking progressive skin renewal and refinement.

Unlike rinse-off exfoliating scrubs or cleansers, Exfoliation Accelerator is applied to clean, dry skin as a leave-on treatment, allowing the glycolic and lactic acid complex to work continuously on the skin’s surface to dissolve dead skin cell bonds and accelerate natural cell turnover. The result is progressively smoother, brighter, and more refined skin with consistent daily use.

Skin Types

Key Ingredients

• 10% Glycolic and Lactic Acid Complex — A dual alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) complex combining glycolic acid and lactic acid to provide gentle, effective chemical exfoliation. Glycolic acid — the smallest AHA molecule — penetrates the skin effectively to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells and accelerate cell turnover, improving texture, radiance, and the appearance of fine lines. Lactic acid — a larger AHA molecule — provides a gentler, more controlled exfoliation with additional humectant properties that help maintain skin hydration during the exfoliation process. Together at 10%, this dual AHA complex delivers meaningful exfoliation efficacy with a balanced, well-tolerated profile.
• Aloe, Green Tea, and Chamomile Blend — A trio of well-established botanical soothing and antioxidant agents that calm and comfort the skin during the exfoliation process. Aloe provides hydrating and anti-inflammatory relief; green tea delivers potent antioxidant protection against free radical damage; and chamomile soothes visible redness and irritation. Together, this botanical blend ensures that the exfoliating action of the AHA complex is balanced by active soothing and antioxidant support.
• Vitamins A and E — A proven antioxidant duo that protects the skin against environmental aging caused by free radicals. Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) supports cell renewal and skin health, while vitamin E (tocopherol) neutralizes free radicals and replenishes the skin’s lipid barrier — complementing the exfoliating and renewing action of the AHA complex with comprehensive antioxidant defence.
