Getting Skin Ready, the foundation of every ZO Skin Health protocol

At ZO Skin Health, Getting Skin Ready is not an add-on but the first part of every protocol: cleanse, exfoliate, tone. These three steps bring the skin into a state in which it can absorb active ingredients in the first place. That is why they are available here as a set of their own, for anyone who wants to start a routine with them or build an existing one on top of them.

This version is the milder one. For oily, blemish-prone skin there is the GSR Set Intensive.

  1. Cleanse

    The Exfoliating Cleanser cleanses thoroughly and dissolves sebum, dirt and make-up residue without drying out the skin. The foundation for everything else.

  2. Exfoliate

    The Exfoliating Polish is a gentle physical exfoliant with fine crystals that loosens dead skin cells and leaves the skin noticeably smooth. Two to three times a week.

  3. Tone

    The Complexion Renewal Pads are the last step: they tone, refine the skin's texture and optimally prepare the skin to absorb active ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Getting Skin Ready?

Getting Skin Ready, GSR for short, is ZO Skin Health's foundation of cleansing, exfoliating and toning. These three steps normalize skin functions and prepare the skin to absorb active ingredients. Every ZO Skin Health protocol builds on it.

Why a set and not the individual products?

Because the three steps are coordinated and together form the complete preparation. You get the complete foundation and pay less than when buying the three products individually.

Who is the set suitable for?

For anyone who wants a solid, straightforward start, and as a foundation on which a targeted active ingredient routine can be built at any time. Suitable for all skin types.

Can I build a targeted routine on top of it?

Yes, that is exactly what it is designed for. As soon as you want to address a specific concern, such as pigment spots, redness or first lines, you add the matching active ingredients. The foundation stays the same.

Is sun protection included?

No, this set is deliberately pure preparation. You should always add sun protection in the morning, it is the most important anti-aging step of all.

About the brand

ZO Skin Health was developed by Dr. Zein Obagi - one of the world's most renowned dermatologists, with over 35 years of research in Beverly Hills. His principle: the skin is not “repaired” from the outside; instead, the cells themselves are activated. Because collagen, elastin and cell renewal decline with age, ZO products work in a targeted way across different skin layers - as system skincare following established treatment protocols, not as a single product.

How to use

How to use the set

The list below is also the order of application. Stick to it, it is part of how the set works.

It follows the texture, from the lightest to the richest. Light formulas with smaller molecules absorb first; rich textures go on top and would otherwise shield them.

Behind it is always the same pattern. First the preparation: cleansing, exfoliating, toning. Then the active ingredients in the order given. In the morning, sun protection comes last; in the evening, it is left out.

Morning

  1. Exfoliating Cleanser: apply a small amount to damp skin, massage in gently for about one minute, rinse with lukewarm water.
  2. Exfoliating Polish (two to three times a week): massage in a small amount, rinse thoroughly. Exfoliation belongs in the morning.
  3. Complexion Renewal Pads: use both sides of one whole pad over face and neck until no moisture is left on it.

Evening

  1. Exfoliating Cleanser: as in the morning, a small amount, massage in, rinse.
  2. Complexion Renewal Pads: one whole pad over face and neck.

Remember to always apply sunscreen afterwards in the morning.
