ZO Skincare: CPD peel can cause possible acne breakouts
Acne outbreaks after a CPD Peel. ( Controlled depth peel)
Acne outbreaks are common after either a CPD peel or simply initiating ZO skincare. The skincare is so potent that it activates all the cells in the skin and a new rebalancing takes place.
- FIRST RULE : Repair the barrier first ( DPD, regulate inflammation and sebum: Cebatrol, Restoracalm or Revitatrol)
- SECOND RULE : Build Tolerance – follow fundamental 5 + Aknetrol + sulphur Mask + Spot treatment (if still needed add in Tretinoin) – Repair first and then add Retinol and all else.
- Use Cebatrol rather than Te-Pads
FUNDAMENTAL 6
- Oilacleanse
- Scrub exf polish or vitascrub
- Sebum reduction Te- Pads or cebratrol
- Alphahydroxy acid for exfoliation – glycogent
- Acne specific topical agents – aknetrol and sulphur masque
- Barrier repair and stabilising agents -daily power defence ( combo of retinol , antioxidants and anti inflammatory agents )
After the CP, this protocol to be followed strictly!
- Do not use anything else on your skin from any other range, the moisturisers at this stage would lead to increased sebum production
- The sulphur masque can be used not only as a mask but as a topical spot treatment at night and leave on to sleep and wash off in the morning. The growth factor serum only around the eyes.
- Keep well hydrated as well, 2 litres of h2o is a must .
- Cebratrol is maybe the oil control pads to use rather than the te pads if the acne is not hat severe.
Pigment returning after using Melamix Melamin & Tretinoin.
When the Tretinoin/HQ is stopped, the exfoliation reduces and the ” CLEAR PINK ” colour of the fresh skin changes back to a normal apricot colour and some patients interpret this as ”PIGMENT COMING BACK”. Continue with Brightenex 2 pumps morning and evening with your fundamental 6.
C-Bright ( Vit C) stings and feels very sore to use.
Only use after about 6 weeks, when the BARRIER is repaired and the skin has built TOLERANCE – introducing this earlier cause severe stinging and can irritate the skin as the pH of the main ingredient – pure Ascorbic Acid 10% is very acidic around 3,2. On a raw, active acne skin this is not a great idea!
