Answering your questions and talking about ZO Wrinkle Texture & Repair

[@JacquelineHopes]

I just found your content and am loving it!!! I noticed you haven’t posted in several months and am sooo hoping you come back soon ❤

[@elizabethkale6919]

hi there, I switched to ZO wrinkle texture and repair from skin better advanced alpharet overnight cream based on your routine videos. I felt I had plateaued with skin better and have used tretinoin in the past for acne (decades ago) and even when my skin got used to the effects..i never thought it looked pretty...it always had kind of a dry look. Initially, I wasn't sold on the ZO...it is quite creamy and can make you think that lessens the effects of the retinol. I have been using the ZO for six weeks and i must say....I do think my skin looks better. It was good with skin better, but it is really good with the ZO. For the rest of my routine, i still use skin better...the alto advanced repair and the even tone correcting serum. I also use the skin better sunscreen 75 tinted. Your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@theocbeautymd]

I am SO happy to hear that!!!!!!!!!! Everything you said makes perfect sense!

[@hanshton]

Did you have any skin peeling? I am about to switch just as you did from skin science

[@elizabethkale6919]

@@hanshton hi there, i did not. I am still using ZO and I really like it. The skin better was nice too, but I felt i needed more

[@elizabethkale6919]

i would add that ZO is a bit different...it feels a bit moisturizing...i have been using it for a while so i forget a little bit about skin better...but ZO also has a bit of a scent (i don't mind it at all)like maybe lavender or some kind of essential oil smell very slight

Thank you very much!

[@claudiaglows]

Another super informative video

[@theocbeautymd]

Thank you!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thestudiooftamraglaser5390]

I’ve been using Tretinoin for 5 years and it’s taken 10 years off of my skin. I use plenty of moisturizer so I’ve never had any extreme adverse reactions, only transformed skin. What would be the advantage of using these expensive retinoids versus prescription Tretinoin, which I pay $10 for a tube that lasts a year? Thanks so much

[@lorraineshoemate9430]

Very informative video! Love all the details. I want to now try the ZO Wrinkle Repair. How do you like the ZO Firming Serum? Also, on a different topic, can you please do a video on Estrogen Cream for your face. (Estriol) What do you think of this and is it effective for laxity and over all anti-aging? Thank you!

[@theocbeautymd]

I've been asked about estrogen creams frequently lately so it's on my list!!!

[@mariadicarlucci7617]

I just came across your channel. I love the content and I booked a consultation for this month. So excited!!!

[@JK-0423]

Im so glad i subscribed to her channel. This video is very helpful

[@looovegoodmusic]

yes, i also just discovered it. i wish she was making more videos:(

[@Rchter]

So glad i found you! Love your videos - can you help explain the layering process with the ZO line. This is where i am having trouble. The brightalive before or after retin a? Or the exfoliator accelerator before or after other products? How many of them can you layer etc. Thank you! ❤🤗

[@evaweissmann1983]

Another great and informative video. Thank you. ❤

[@theocbeautymd]

So glad you found it useful!

[@stinahystad1529]

Can you do a video about best pore minimizing products? Zo vs skinbetter?

[@jolcik1237]

Thanks for interesting video

[@theocbeautymd]

Glad you liked it

[@truthful2293]

Fantastic video. Thank you. Since Dr. Obagi is getting older. Do we have to worry about the line changing after he retires? Thank you.

[@dragonfly0212]

Great information, thank you! Can you do a video on how to use ZO pigment control program + hydroquinone? I am dealing with melasma and aging (age 49). Would I use tretinoin or ZO Wrinkle Texture & Repair with it?

[@theocbeautymd]

You can use either but tretinoin is more aggressive. You would blend the tret/WTR with the blending cream

[@dragonfly0212]

Thank you so much.

[@SM-ix3iw]

hello- just found your detailed amazing video. I have been using Alphabet Skin Better Science for years now. 1. should I switch to zo wrinkle Texture & Repair or different Retinol (if so, which specific product)? 2. I also used Skin Better Science Alto Defense & Restorative complex in the morning. Should I switch to ZO daily power defense from Alto Defense Skin Better Science? 3. Which products are you using for AM and PM regimen? 4. which Vitamin C serum are your favorite? 5. which growth factor cream or serum to use? Thank you for your kindness.

[@gladyspimentel7140]

What’s the right way to layer ZO’s skincare products: Toner, renewal pads, vitamin C, daily power defense, growth factor,night repair, bright live, hydrating cream, sunscreen. Thanks

[@LoveandMisses]

Wow impressive

[@cudle2238]

Thanks for another great video. I have a question regarding my routine which looks like this (I have oily skin): Exfoliating Cleanser, Exfoliating Polish (PM), Oil Control Pads, Exfoliation Accelerator (AM), Alto Advanced Defense, Even Tone Correcting Serum, Mystro, Overnight Cream (PM). Im also in the possession of the Wrinkle and Texture Repair. Do you think I can alternate the nights between the overnight cream and wrinkle and texture repair? Also, I have the Hydration Boosting Cream. Would you recommend adding it to the end of my routine or can I skip it since I have oily skin and my routine already has plenty of serums?

[@theocbeautymd]

Hi, from your description, I think you would benefit from the WTR more than overnight. I wouldn't reach for boosting cream unless you feel dry. Let me know how it goes!!

[@viannlollar4173]

How can we do a on line consult. I have used Obagi first then went to ZO. I started when I was 40 now I’m 65. I do have some other interest in Alastin the vitamin C sounds amazing. Love your video’s. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@truthful2293]

What retinal is best for pores?

[@AJ-vg7uw]

Do you think the Wrinkle and texture repair can be layered after Alto advanced or does it have to the first product that touches your face since it's a microemulsion? Thank you!!

[@Kara-q6x]

You should apply alto advanced first followed by wrinkle and texture repair

[@sorayax5965]

Thank you so much. I’ve been searching for this advice for so long. You have been so helpful when providers aren’t Please can you recommend what zo products to use alongside wrinkle and texture repair. I was thinking if skin better science could be integrated but I have more access to zo here I would love to enhance the benefits and also keep my pores clean. I also have no idea on a good vitamin c to add to this Thank you x

[@emilyfussell6173]

I have been using Wrinkle Texture & Repair every night for about 1 yr. I apply Daily Power Defense & Firming Serum 1st, then WTR. I have no irritation, is this a good or bad thing? Should I apply more ? thank you

[@theocbeautymd]

It's a great thing! It's working and you don't have the anticipated reactions! You can use 2 pumps.

[@meganalexander5556]

ZO Hydrator Question--I'm a tret user (and ZO). Winter dryness can take a toll some days; dry, flaky, some redness. I've cut back my tret use to help and spot treat with hydrating creme. Some days I think I need more full face hydration?! Including my under eye area. Would the recovery creme be a solid choice to try? I don't tend to be acne prone (outside of one/two during monthly visitor). Any eye cream suggestions? TIA!

[@theocbeautymd]

Yes it's a good choice for the winter months

[@airedale3]

I have a question about Skinbetter. I love the products and got my sister to try them. She started having migraines and when she quit SB they stopped. She is highly reactive to mushrooms. Do you know if there are any mushrooms used in their products? Thank you!

[@RBV-g7g]

Can I alternate zo texture repair one night and use skin brightener the other night? My big issues are hyperpigmentation and texture.

[@natalienetanya7401]

I have poikiloderma (brownish red textured pigmentation) in my tear troughs. What would you recommend to brighten or lighten it?

[@bradygraves1355]

since the wtr has Hyaluronidase will it dissolve ha fillers?

[@theocbeautymd]

I'm not aware of it having hyaluronidase

[@redmoon5287]

please your thoughts about Skinvive thank you

[@theocbeautymd]

I might do a video on it. The trend now is to dissolve filler and move away from overfilling faces so I don't understand why we would be filling this all over the face. I say NO

[@redmoon5287]

@@theocbeautymd THANK YOU it would be great .Skinvivie is not a filler is it?

[@Vnikko77]

Thank you for all the great videos😊 I have a bit long question.. I have recently found out that i have perioral dermatitt, I am on tetralysal tablets and skinoren cream. This is working well😊 How do zo wrinkle and texsture cream work on dermatitt? I have used skinbetter alpharet every night before, with no reactions. And can you recommend a spf that is ok with this? Is it ok to use antibiotic with retinol?

[@vickibazter3446]

What is best for a depressed scar?

[@theocbeautymd]

it depends. Sometimes lasers an d microneedling. Sometimes filler.

[@ЕвгенияЗуева-д8р]

Hello! When I can use it? Can I used it at spring and summer?

[@sueanacker2607]

Thank you for all the information . You answered my question about using something I have already at home for a peel rather than the ZO . I found directions from New Port Beach Dermatology & Plastic Surgery using Tretinoin cream as a peel . They recommend using 0.25-0.1% applying TWO pea sized amounts am & pm for 2 weeks . Apply vanicream or MD Intensive Night Repair (their brand ) what are your thoughts on this ? My skin is retinized and I have the .025 strength. I appreciate your knowledge ! Also what do you think about A313 pomade ? I’ve been alternating tretinoin and this and I actually really like it . Thanks 💜

[@Camillle946]

So was the tretinoin peel that you did a few months ago too intense? Do you regret it? Would you do it again?

[@theocbeautymd]

I haven't done a trettinoin peel. I did do the skin restoration which I did with tretinoin for 5 months. My skin was so nice afterwards!

[@sweetnalia]

Hi Doc Is this product for am or pm? Thank you

[@theocbeautymd]

Retinols are generally used in pm but occasionally, specific protocols will have them in a routine am and pm. I think ZO is the only one that does that.

[@sweetnalia]

@@theocbeautymd thank you very much 😘

[@Freeazabird]

Dr. Ania. I watched your video from two years ago on growth factors. I wanted to ask. Have you any experience with the following brand and what are your thoughts on it? I heard a lot of other doctors on KZbin speaking highly of it. It’s the AnteAGE® Serum and AnteAGE® Accelerator Set

[@StacyMcMillan-z9v]

How does Skin Better Lines fit in with ZO Wrinkle Texture and Repair when used for anti-aging?

[@xMercy10]

Can i use this under my eyes? I have those product and barely used it..

[@johndoyel8758]

Your honest opinion.....Environ or ZO Obagi??? I have been told conflicting info

[@theocbeautymd]

I honestly don't know enough about Environ to have an opinion.

[@viannlollar4173]

I also do use the wrinkle texture repair.

[@lisaaustin4561]

I spent $600 for 1 month of a dermatologist in Newport Beach’s skincare line. I threw it away. It didn’t do anything. My skin felt dryer and it didn’t feel good.

[@theocbeautymd]

Oh no, sorry to hear that!!!

[@erniechipdouglas9779]

Was it the mdaire line I have purchased a few products from them and had similar issues

[@yuliyapetr]

Please give a hint who it is

[@Shandryl74]

I’m guessing Stephanie Kappels line; MDAire. From what I understand it’s super expensive like that!

[@OunNa]

I brought a few products from mdair didn't work for me either

[@OunNa]

I want to watch more videos, but you don't have new one

[@mailor2125]

hi dr. ania. i’ve been binging on your videos. so educational. i have to say you always look beautiful but lately the last couple months, your skin look soooo beautiful and glowy. what are you using in your skin care routine?

[@onlychimerically]

Doc can you please do a video on ALL the cleansers from our holy trinity (skinbetter, alastin, zo)? My IS clinical isn’t cutting it anymore…also I think skinbetter was releasing a foaming cleanser?? Idk what happened there, but would love to know your thoughts in detail. I’m on Arazlo now, any we tret users should stay away from? A deep dive into the most important step in our skincare practice ! Please! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
