New Soothing Hydro Mist is a lightweight, soothing facial mist that provides lasting hydration, supports skin’s protective barrier, visibly calms redness by up to 68 per cent, while providing all-day relief and comfort to skin.
Optimising skin barrier function
The optimisation of skin barrier function and hydration are central to skin health restoration protocols. A compromised skin barrier is the most common cause of persistent sensitivity, chronic dryness, susceptibility to inflammation and treatment intolerance. When the skin barrier is out of balance, or “compromised,” it allows harmful pathogens and irritants to enter, while simultaneously allowing trans-epidermal water loss to occur, resulting in dry, red, irritated skin unable to restore itself to optimal skin health.
ZO’s Hydration + Calming protocols stand out in the skincare sphere. While many rely on traditional moisturisers as a quick solution, ZO focuses on functional hydrators that go deep to support the skin’s natural ability to repair, rather than become moisture-dependent, which can be more damaging long-term.
Soothing ingredient technologies
Soothing Hydro Mist contains a unique group of skin recovery ingredient technologies such as a multi-weight hyaluronic acid (HA), redness-modulating extracts and skin barrier strengtheners to deliver a weightlessly hydrated and calmed complexion.
- Piperonyl glucoside reduces visible redness and flushing by minimising skin’s reactivity to stimuli such as temperatures, pollution and even spicy foods.
- Multi-weight HA complex contains a blend of three molecular weights of HA to deliver immediate hydration, soothe, and support skin’s own HA levels for long-term hydration
- Medicago sativa (alfalfa) extract is a nutrient-rich plant extract and antioxidant to defend against oxidative stress and supports a healthy barrier
- ZO’s exclusive ZPOLY complex, a plant-derived polysaccharide complex restores skin’s barrier, infuses hydration up to 48 hours after a single application, and minimises signs of premature ageing
- Alcohol-, fragrance- and dye-free, making it gentle enough for use on post-treatment and compromised skin.
