ZO Radical Night Repair is a high-potency night treatment made with 1% encapsulated retinol. It helps improve the look of uneven texture, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles while supporting a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.
The Sparkle Take
This is the big step in the ZO retinol family. It is best for experienced retinol users who are ready for a structured routine—not a product to start every night on day one.
What It Helps With
- Improves the look of rough or uneven texture
- Helps create a brighter, more even-looking tone
- Softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Supports smoother, more refined-looking skin
Key Ingredients
- 1% encapsulated retinol: A controlled-delivery form of vitamin A that improves the look of texture, tone and lines.
- Vitamins A, C and E: Provide antioxidant support against environmental stressors.
- Sichuan pepper fruit, sunflower seed oil and rosemary leaf extracts: Help minimize the look of visible redness.
- Glycerin and plant oils: Help hydrate and support the skin barrier.
How to Use
Apply to clean, dry skin at night. If you are new to this product, begin twice a week, then increase to alternate nights and eventually nightly use only as tolerated. Follow the protocol recommended by your skincare professional.
Best For
Experienced retinol users concerned with visible texture, uneven pigmentation, fine lines or wrinkles. Retinol beginners may be better suited to a lower-strength option.
Good to Know
Dryness, flaking, redness, burning or stinging can occur while skin adjusts. Reduce frequency if needed and wear SPF 30 or higher every day. Stop use and ask a qualified professional if a reaction is severe or persistent. If pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical care, ask your healthcare provider before using a retinoid. Current ZO materials call this product Radical Night Retinol.
Quick Questions
Is this a beginner retinol?
No. The 1% formula is a high-potency choice. Start with a lower strength or ask Sparkle for guidance if you are new to retinol.
Should I use it every night?
Only after your skin has adjusted. Begin slowly and increase frequency based on comfort and professional guidance.
Can I use it around my eyes?
Avoid the eye area unless your skincare professional specifically directs you otherwise.
