ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Cleanser for normal to oily skin is a gentle daily face wash that clears surface oil, makeup and impurities while sloughing away dead skin cells for a smoother, fresher complexion. Powered by salicylic acid and biodegradable jojoba exfoliating beads, this 200mL medical-grade cleanser leaves skin feeling clean and balanced, never tight or stripped.

Why This Cleanser Works

Oilier skin needs cleansing that lifts excess sebum without over-drying. This ZO Skin Health exfoliating cleanser pairs gentle physical exfoliation from jojoba beads with chemical exfoliation from salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that works inside the pore to clear debris and support clearer-looking skin. Antioxidant vitamin E beads add free-radical protection, while humectants help maintain comfort, so skin feels clean and refreshed after every wash.

Developed by the team behind ZO Skin Health, founded by dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi, the formula is built around science-led skincare. Note that it contains fragrance and naturally occurring fragrance components (limonene, linalool, citronellol), so a patch test is sensible if your skin is reactive.

Ideal For

This ZO Skin Health exfoliating cleanser is ideal for normal to oily skin types in the UAE who want a deeper, refreshing cleanse that targets shine, dullness and uneven texture as part of a daily routine. A little goes a long way, making the 200mL size a long-lasting addition to a considered skincare regimen. If you have sensitive or compromised skin, or are unsure whether an exfoliating cleanser suits your concerns, consider a patch test or speak with a skincare professional first.

• Salicylic Acid (BHA): penetrates pores to clear oil, debris and congestion

• Jojoba Esters: round, biodegradable beads that gently buff away dead skin cells

• Encapsulated Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): bursts on application for an antioxidant boost

• Niacinamide and Niacin: support a smoother, more even-looking skin surface

• Glycerin and Sodium PCA: humectants that help skin feel hydrated and balanced

1. Wet your face and hands with lukewarm water.

2. Dispense a small amount onto your fingertips and massage over the face and neck in circular motions for about 30 seconds, focusing on oilier areas.

3. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry, then follow with your usual toner, treatment and moisturiser.

4. Use morning and evening. Because exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity, pair daytime use with a broad-spectrum SPF.
