Beauty The Only Way is obagi Velvet tests out ZO Skin Health by Zein Obagi at Cathedral Dental, Bury St Edmunds I have spent many years working in the cosmetic industry, long enough to not be blown away by claims from the latest miracle cream, glossy adverts and models convincing us to ‘use this potion and look like me!’ When Cathedral Dental contacted me and asked if I would like to try its new line of skin care, ZO Skin Health by Zein Obagi, I couldn’t have been happier, as it’s a brand that has been developed by a leading dermatologist and comes across as very credible. ZO can only be purchased by a medical practitioner, for “I’ll be surprised if you don’t see a significant improvement within two weeks.” example a nurse or doctor, due to its prescriptive nature and high percentage of active ingredients. The term ‘percentage of active ingredients’ is important when it comes to skin care, as most anti-ageing creams will have AHAs and retinol, but what percentage is what matters. Most creams that you buy off the shelf will contain 0.1% retinol, whereas ZO’s retinol concentration starts at 0.6%! My appointment was with the practice Nurse Danah Mapson, who specialises in the ZO range. Working alongside Danah in facial aesthetics is Dr Heidi Fitzwilliam, who specialises in dermal fillers and muscle relaxants. Danah explained the range to me and analysed my skin, advising on a course of action. I was pleased that Danah reported that my skin was in good condition, if not a little dry, with signs of sun damage appearing Written by Gemma Treby on my forehead. “The ZO range will definitely help; I’ll be surprised if you don’t see a significant improvement within two weeks. I would then recommend a ZO peel,” Danah advised. With over 30 products in the ZO range, I was prescribed five to get me started. The plan was that I would return two weeks later and have the ZO chemical peel. I got on really well with ZO. Danah had warned that initially my skin might feel dry which means it was adjusting to the products and getting used to not being drenched in oils, serums and traditional moisturisers. She was right, but this only happened for a few days. I especially liked the T-E Pads which contain salicylic acid, leaving your skin very fresh and wiping away excess sebum and dead skin cells. The Ossential Daily Power Defense was also amazing; amongst many other ingredients this contains retinol. Retinol is one of the few substances with small enough molecules to penetrate the epidermis and therefore stimulate collagen and elastin production. In summary, it reduces the signs of ageing, fine lines, sun damage and age spots. With my two week trial at an end, it was time to return to the surgery for the chemical peel. ZO have various stages of a peel, and, as I was starting out, I was to have the peel Velvet Magazine | November 2016 67
