The most important ingredients

Application

Dampen your face. Add a small amount into your palms - the emulsion transforms into a milky texture on contact with water. Massage in gently for 60 seconds and rinse thoroughly.

Morning and evening use. The gel-to-milk formula cleanses thoroughly without drying out the skin.

Frequently asked questions

What happens during the gel-to-milk transformation?

When massaged in, the gel emulsifies the oils and impurities on the skin — it dissolves dirt and make-up without stripping. The water that is added during rinsing changes the texture to a creamy milk. This gives a thorough cleanse that still feels gentle on the skin.

Does the emulsion suit my sensitive skin?

Yes, Balancing Cleansing Emulsion is specifically developed for sensitive skin. Glycerin and panthenol calm the skin during cleansing — no fragrances, no harsh surfactants. Suitable for rosacea-prone and post-procedure skin.

Can I use the emulsion morning and evening?

Yes, Balancing Cleansing Emulsion is a daily cleanser for morning and evening use. It removes make-up, sunscreen, and daily impurities gently and thoroughly.

What does the gel-to-milk transformation mean?

This is a textural phenomenon: when massaged in with water, the gel turns into a creamy milk. The emulsification dissolves oils and impurities, while the milky texture rinses cleanly without leaving residue. No oily film, no tightness.

Is the emulsion also enough as a first cleanse?

Yes, especially in the evening. The emulsion is a first cleanse — it dissolves make-up, oil, sunscreen, and environmental pollutants. For very heavy make-up or waterproof SPF, a dedicated make-up remover as a pre-step is recommended; for light make-up and normal SPF, the emulsion is sufficient as a single step.

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.
