ZO Skin Health Hydrating Cleanser

ZO Skin Health Hydrating Cleanser is a rich, creamy, sulfate-free cleanser formulated specifically for dry and sensitized skin. Featuring a multi-humectant blend of sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, glycerin, sodium PCA, and urea, this cleanser effectively removes impurities and surface debris while actively replenishing and retaining hydration to support the skin’s barrier — leaving skin feeling clean, comfortable, and nourished rather than tight or stripped.

A foundational step in the ZO® Getting Skin Ready® Regimen for dry and sensitized skin types, Hydrating Cleanser rinses cleanly without leaving any residue and is gentle enough for twice-daily use morning and evening. Its sulfate-free formulation ensures effective cleansing without the barrier disruption and dryness associated with conventional sulfate-based cleansers.

Skin Types

Formulated for dry and sensitized skin. Its rich, creamy, sulfate-free formula is specifically designed for skin that experiences dryness, tightness, or sensitivity after cleansing, and requires a cleanser that actively supports hydration and barrier function rather than depleting it.

Skin Concerns

Addresses dryness, dehydration, skin sensitivity, and barrier compromise. Ideal for those whose skin feels tight, uncomfortable, or stripped after cleansing with conventional cleansers, and who require a daily cleanser that simultaneously cleanses and actively replenishes moisture.

Key Ingredients

• Sodium Hyaluronate — A highly bioavailable form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates the skin’s surface to attract and retain water molecules, delivering immediate plumping and long-lasting hydration. Its inclusion in a cleanser format ensures that the skin receives active moisture replenishment during the cleansing process rather than losing hydration.
• Panthenol (Provitamin B5) — A deeply penetrating humectant and skin-conditioning agent that attracts and retains moisture while also supporting the skin’s barrier repair and healing processes. Panthenol soothes and softens dry, sensitized skin and helps reduce the transepidermal water loss that contributes to chronic dryness.
• Glycerin — A classic and highly effective humectant with powerful water-binding properties that attract and retain moisture at the skin’s surface. Working synergistically with sodium hyaluronate and panthenol, glycerin contributes to the formula’s multi-layered hydration approach.
• Sodium PCA — A naturally occurring component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) that is highly effective at attracting and binding water to the skin. Its inclusion helps restore the skin’s own moisture-retention mechanisms, supporting long-lasting hydration beyond the cleansing step.
• Urea — A keratolytic humectant that both attracts water to the skin and helps soften and smooth dry, rough skin texture by gently loosening the bonds between dead skin cells. At low concentrations, urea is an effective moisturizing agent that supports barrier function and skin comfort for dry and sensitized skin types.

How to Use

Massage a small amount of Hydrating Cleanser onto damp face and neck each morning and evening. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. For best results, follow with the rest of your ZO® Getting Skin Ready® Regimen to prepare skin for optimal absorption of treatment products.
