ZO Medical: Breakthrough Treatment for Adult Acne

Sufferers of chronic adult acne now have cause to rejoice, thanks to ZO® Medical Therapeutic Solutions, the new medical grade skincare line by the renowned Dr. Zein Obagi.

Using his 35 years’ experience in dermatological innovation, Dr. Obagi has created Aknetrol™ that is tough on acne but gentle on your skin.

Only available from doctors, this super strength formula works by targeting the bacteria found in the skin that can trigger acne outbreaks.

Using 10% Benzoyl Peroxide as an active ingredient to combat problem acne, Aknetrol™  is a topical cream that clears, hydrates and boosts overall skin appearance.

Ideal for inflamed, blemish-ridden skin, the high concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide significantly reduces the amount of oil produced in the sebaceous glands which inhibits the growth of acne-inducing bacteria.

Acne-causing bacteria

Propionibacterium occur naturally in the skin and can cause the tell-tale inflammation and angry looking raised pimples associated with acne. These bacteria thrive in low levels of oxygen and rely on sebum for nourishment making your pores the ideal location for growth.

Acne-prone skin is normally oily, and any overproduction of sebum allow for the bacteria to multiply at an accelerated rate.

Pores can become blocked with oil, and the metabolic by-products created by P.acne bacteria will trigger immune system response that causes inflammation of the skin.

By limiting the production of sebum, the growth of P.acne can be controlled and the severity of acne decreases drastically.

Aknetrol ™ also contains antibacterial tea tree oil that reduces redness and glycerin that hydrates and soothes irritated skin.

Aknetrol ™ – Directions for use

A thin layer of the white lotion is applied to the affected area twice a day or as directed once the skin has been thoroughly cleansed.

Once completely absorbed into the skin, it becomes invisible and doesn’t leave any white residue.

Helping minimize shine without drying the skin, Aknetrol™ will leave both you and the skin you live in completely rejuvenated.
