Belo Beautiful Stories: The ZO Skincare Routine That Helped Pauline So Fight Acne

It was around noon when Pauline Louise So walked into Belo Clark, greeted warmly by the friendly staff. The atmosphere was inviting, making her feel at home right away. This time, she wasn’t alone. Her best friend had tagged along, excited to experience Belo’s renowned treatments as well. 

Their laughter filled the waiting area as they settled in, ready for an afternoon of self-care. Soon after, Pauline sat down with us, eager to share her inspiring journey with Belo and how it transformed her skin and her confidence.

“With the right regimen, skincare, and expert guidance from your doctor, the benefits can last a lifetime.”

The Source of Confidence

“Belo has been giving me confidence since 2022 when I had my rhinoplasty,” Pauline shares. However, her self-esteem took a hit the following year when she experienced persistent breakouts that spread across her face.

Frustrated, she  sought solutions from different clinics, trying various treatments and prescribed skincare products. Yet, her acne kept coming back.Remembering the confidence she gained from her nose surgery the year before, she decided to turn to Belo once again for a lasting solution.

“When I had my first procedure, the ZO Oil Control Facial, it was so effective. After a week, my acne dried up, my pimples, even the comedones were gone.” she recalls,delighted by the results.

With four different kinds of facials to choose from, depending on your doctor’s recommendation upon evaluation, a ZO Facial is Belo’s expertise combined with Dr. Zein Obagi’s formulated products. These address different skin concerns: including anti-aging, brightening and redness control.

To enhance her results, Pauline’s doctor recommended the ZO Three Step Peel, a medium-strength peel that removes the outermost layers of the skin to improve tone, texture, and smoothness.

“I just continued going to Belo Clark, where I get a facial monthly. Sometimes, I don’t get to go anymore since there are no more flare-ups appearing on my face.” 

Beyond Skin(care)

Following her treatments, Pauline was advised to adopt a new skincare regimen, which she followed diligently. Her routine included:

• ZO Exfoliating Cleanser – Gently gets rid of dirt and surface oil 
• ZO Oil Control Pads – A triple acid toner that targets oiliness 
• ZO Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30 –  A dual-action sunscreen that protects and primes the skin. 

Her skin has shown remarkable improvement, to which she said that it “really boosted her confidence a lot.”

“It makes me really happy that as I get older, my skin is aging backwards,” she smiles.

The Belo Difference

What sets Belo apart from other clinics?

“You will really feel that the staff cares for you,” Pauline says. She has also built a strong bond with her aesthetician, Rose, who has been taking care of her skin since she started her journey at Belo Clark.

“I guess I will be with Belo until I grow old,” she said, laughing.

Despite her busy schedule as a full-time social media manager, devoted wife, and mother of two, Pauline looks forward to her Belo Clark visits. Not just for the treatments,  but for the relaxation and self-care they provide.

“It’s worth it, because the money that you spend, you know it’s worth it on your face. Because it’s working!” she exclaims. “It’s not like I’m wasting my time here doing my regimen. I also relax and have my ‘me time too’.”

She regrets nothing in choosing to go to Belo, that ultimately solved her acne.

“Trust the professionals. Your doctor will design the perfect plan for your skin. The right treatment is out there, you just need the right expert to guide you.  Don’t lose hope – it can be fixed!”
