What Is the ZO Red Carpet Facial?

​

Also known as the ZO Stimulator Peel, the Red Carpet Facial is a superficial chemical peel using a blend of lactic, citric, and salicylic acids to exfoliate the skin’s surface, remove dullness, and boost radiance.

The treatment includes:

1. Cleanse and prep using ZO's Offects® range

2. Exfoliation and enzymatic stimulation

3. Stimulator Peel application – gentle resurfacing acids

4. Soothing masque (optional add-on)

5. Serum and SPF application using ZO’s professional-grade products

Client Concerns Addressed

“Is this a peel? Will I visibly shed?”
The ZO Stimulator Peel is a superficial peel. You may feel a light tingle, but there’s no flaking or visible peeling afterwards. It's sometimes referred to as the “no-peel peel.”

​

“Is it suitable for sensitive skin?”
Yes – the formulation is gentle yet effective. We adapt the protocol based on your skin’s sensitivity.

​

“How often can I have this facial?”
You can enjoy this facial every 2–4 weeks. Many clients choose it monthly as part of their regular skincare plan.

​

“Is it safe during pregnancy?”
Although the acids used are mild, we recommend checking with your GP or midwife and avoiding peels containing salicylic acid during pregnancy.

​

ZO Red Carpet Facial Aftercare

To maintain your glow and protect the skin post-treatment:

• Avoid makeup for 12–24 hours

• Use only gentle, non-active skincare for 48 hours

• Apply SPF 30+ daily – especially important after exfoliation

• Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds and heat exposure for 48 hours

• Hydrate well and avoid exfoliants or retinoids for 5 days

• Use ZO homecare products (if prescribed) to support results

No downtime means you can resume your daily activities straight after.
