Have you ever invested in expensive skincare, only to be underwhelmed or even disappointed by the results? We’ve all been there before—our attention is captured by a pretty teaser video or advertisement, so we invest our hard-earned money, thinking that an expensive price tag immediately translates to visible results. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.

You see, most luxury skincare products aren’t medical-grade, because they’re marketed for use by the general public. Translation? It means you don’t get as high a concentration of active ingredients that you need for good results. That’s why Dr. Vicki Belo is a big believer in ZO® Skin Health. Founded by dermatology legend Dr. Zein Obagi in 2006, its unique philosophy is what attracted Dr. Belo in the first place. Here are three reasons you should switch up to ZO.

1. It was founded by a doctor who champions skin health.

“[Zein Obagi] is the first dermatologist to talk about skin health. Dati kasi, ‘pag may sakit ka, that’s the only time you go to a derma,” Dr. Belo explains. Back then, you only went to a dermatologist for serious skin concerns like eczema, atopic dermatitis, and the like. “Dr. Obagi said, ‘No. We should be keeping people healthy, and their skin nice. [ZO] is really a gym for your face and your skin.” Think of skin health as similar to body health—you’re supposed to keep those habits strong and consistent, as opposed to only taking care of your body when it’s already riddled with issues. Prevention, better than cure.

2. It’s no-nonsense—you get what you need, right from the jump.

Let’s face it—the skincare industry is overly saturated, and it can be difficult to zero in on which products actually work for you. With ZO, there’s no need to be enamored with pretty packaging or confused by buzzwords on the label. The product line was developed with simplicity in mind. For example, there are only three ZO cleansers: Exfoliating, Hydrating, and Gentle. After speaking with your Belo doctor about your skin type and issues, it’ll be easy to determine which ZO products you need.

3. The results are undeniable.

People come to Belo with all sorts of skin concerns—chief among them, acne and aging concerns. And at the core of every Belo acne treatment plan, you’ll always find more than a few ZO products. Belo Babies like Julia Barretto (she loves the Oil Control Pads), Ivana Alawi (she loves the Exfoliating Cleanser), Jinkee Pacquiao (her fave is the Brightalive Skin Brightener), and more have been blown away by ZO’s effectiveness in combating breakouts, oiliness, fine lines, and more. At the end of the day, results are all that matter.
