Wrinkle + Texture Repair

ZO Skin Health Wrinkle + Texture Repair is a high-potency retinol treatment featuring a microemulsion delivery system that restores natural hydration while visibly improving the appearance of wrinkles and refining skin texture. Formulated with 5% retinol — one of the highest concentrations available in an over-the-counter retinol formulation — alongside the proprietary ZCORE™ firming complex and ZPRO® hyaluronic acid-supporting complex, this advanced treatment targets the full spectrum of structural skin aging: wrinkles, skin laxity, rough texture, and loss of hydration and firmness.

The microemulsion delivery system ensures that the high-potency retinol is delivered in a controlled, skin-compatible format that maximizes efficacy while supporting skin hydration throughout the treatment process. Suitable for all skin types and formulated for gradual introduction with a step-up protocol, Wrinkle + Texture Repair is designed for those who have established retinol tolerance and are ready for a high-potency anti-aging treatment that delivers meaningful structural improvement in skin quality.

Skin Types

Suitable for all skin types. At 5% retinol, this is a high-potency formula recommended for those who have already established retinol tolerance through use of lower-concentration retinol products. A gradual step-up protocol is essential — begin with twice-weekly application and increase frequency as tolerated.

Skin Concerns

Formulated to address the full spectrum of structural skin aging including deep wrinkles and fine lines, rough and uneven skin texture, loss of skin firmness and elasticity, sagging skin laxity, and dehydration. Ideal for those seeking a high-potency retinol treatment that delivers comprehensive anti-aging correction beyond what lower-concentration retinol formulas can achieve.

• Suitable for all skin types with gradual step-up protocol

Key Ingredients

• 5% Retinol (Microemulsion-Delivered) — At 5%, this is one of the highest concentrations of retinol available in an over-the-counter formulation, delivering significantly enhanced cell turnover acceleration, collagen stimulation, wrinkle reduction, and skin texture refinement compared to lower-concentration retinol products. Retinol is the most clinically validated over-the-counter anti-aging active available, and at this concentration it delivers results approaching those of prescription-strength retinoic acid. The microemulsion delivery system encapsulates the retinol in a skin-compatible lipid matrix that ensures controlled, even delivery while simultaneously restoring skin hydration — helping to offset the dryness and irritation that can accompany high-potency retinol use.
• ZCORE™ Complex — ZO®’s proprietary firming complex that helps improve the appearance of visibly sagging skin by targeting the structural components of the skin responsible for firmness and elasticity. Working synergistically with retinol’s collagen-stimulating action, ZCORE™ delivers additional firming and contouring benefits that address the skin laxity component of structural aging.
• ZPRO® — ZO®’s exclusive complex that supports the skin’s natural replenishment of hyaluronic acid — the skin’s primary internal hydration molecule. As the skin ages, its capacity to produce and retain hyaluronic acid diminishes, contributing to dehydration, loss of plumpness, and the deepening of wrinkles. ZPRO® helps restore this natural hydration mechanism, ensuring that Wrinkle + Texture Repair delivers meaningful hydration restoration alongside its retinol-driven anti-aging correction.

How to Use

Wrinkle + Texture Repair is a high-potency retinol treatment. If you have not previously used retinol at this concentration, introduce it gradually using the following step-up protocol:

• Week 1–2: Apply 2–3 pumps to clean, dry skin twice a week in the evening
• Week 3–4: Increase frequency to alternate days
• Ongoing: Increase to daily use as tolerated

Follow with a ZO® functional hydrator to minimize anticipated reactions. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning — retinol increases the skin’s sensitivity to the sun.

Anticipated Reactions

Redness, flakiness, dryness, burning, or stinging are all normal, anticipated reactions when starting or increasing retinol concentration — particularly at the high 5% concentration of this formula. With regular use, the skin will acclimate and these reactions will subside, revealing a smoother, more even-toned, and youthful-looking complexion. Pairing with a ZO® functional hydrator will help minimize these reactions during the acclimation period. Consult your skincare professional for a customized retinol protocol.
