The most important ingredients

Peptides

Short chains of amino acids - signalling molecules for the skin.

Function: Can support resilience and skin structure, ease wrinkles and firm the skin.

Hyaluronic acid

A molecule produced by the body that can bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water.

Function: Can intensively supply the skin with moisture, plump up fine lines and strengthen the skin barrier.

Application

Squeeze the tube slightly to a pea-sized amount onto the cooling applicator. Apply to clean, dry skin and work in small, gentle circles around the eye area.

Morning and evening use.

Frequently asked questions

Which ZO Skin Health eye product do I need?

ZO Skin Health has three eye products: Growth Factor Eye Serum (retinol-free, gel texture) for beginners and sensitive skin. Eye Brightening Crème (with retinol) for dark circles. Intense Eye Crème (retinol + optical diffusers) as the most intensive product for deep wrinkles.

If you do not tolerate retinol: Growth Factor Eye Serum.

How quickly will I see first results with Growth Factor Eye Serum?

Improved hydration and a finer-looking skin texture around the eyes are often noticeable after 2–3 weeks of daily use. Visible reduction in fine lines develops over 4–8 weeks with consistent morning and evening application.

Can I use Growth Factor Eye Serum alongside my retinol programme?

Yes, this is even a good strategy. Growth Factor Eye Serum is retinol-free, which means it can be used as a morning eye product while you use a retinol-containing eye product (e.g. Intense Eye Crème) in the evening. This way the eye area gets active ingredients twice a day without increasing the retinol load.

Which skin type benefits most from Growth Factor Eye Serum?

Ideal for dry and sensitive skin and for skincare beginners. The peptides and plant extracts gently support elasticity without irritating - perfect if you do not yet tolerate retinol or want to avoid it.

Very fair, thin-skinned eye areas also benefit, as the gel texture does not weigh the skin down and holds moisture well.

How do I apply the serum correctly?

Apply a pea-sized amount morning and evening after cleansing. Use your ring finger to gently tap — not rub — around the entire eye area, including the brow bone. Do not pull the skin.

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.
