Deeply Cleanse Pores, Control Oil and Smooth Skin Texture with a Dual-Action Exfoliating Scrub
ZO Skin Health® Dual Action Scrub is a targeted exfoliating treatment that combines physical and chemical exfoliation to deliver a deeper level of skin renewal than standard exfoliants. Formulated for normal to oily and blemish-prone skin, it removes dead skin cells, deeply cleanses congested pores, controls excess sebum, and smooths uneven skin texture — leaving the skin visibly clearer, more refined, and better prepared for active treatment products.
The dual-action approach — combining mechanical exfoliation with chemical actives — makes it particularly effective for those with persistent congestion, enlarged pores, or oily skin that requires a more thorough exfoliation than a standard polish provides.
Apply a small amount to damp skin, 2–3 times per week or as directed by your skincare provider. Massage gently in circular motions, focusing on areas of congestion or uneven texture. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow with toner and treatment products. Use SPF 30+ daily — exfoliation increases photosensitivity.
✔ Normal to oily and blemish-prone skin types requiring deeper exfoliation
✔ Those with persistent congestion, enlarged pores, or blackheads
✔ Those seeking more thorough exfoliation than a standard polish provides
✔ Patients looking to optimise skin preparation for active treatment products
✔ Suitable as part of a supervised ZO Skin Health® regimen for oily or blemish-prone skin
Exfoliating Polish uses ultra-fine magnesium crystals for gentle physical exfoliation suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and is designed for regular daily or alternate-day use. Dual Action Scrub combines physical and chemical exfoliation for a deeper result, making it more suitable for oily and blemish-prone skin requiring more thorough pore cleansing and sebum control. It is used less frequently — 2–3 times per week — rather than daily.
Combining multiple exfoliating products increases the risk of over-exfoliation and barrier disruption. Consult your skincare provider before using Dual Action Scrub alongside other exfoliants such as AHAs or retinol.
Improvement in skin clarity, pore appearance, and texture is typically noticeable within 2–4 weeks of consistent use 2–3 times per week. More significant improvements in congestion and sebum control develop over 6–8 weeks of continued use.
