The pursuit of lifted, defined skin no longer relies solely on needles or downtime. ZO Skin Health’s latest innovation, the Peptide Facial Refining Concentrate, delivers results that echo the precision and impact of fillers – but without the invasiveness of injectables. Overwhelmingly clinically validated to enhance facial contours, firmness, and elasticity, it bridges the gap between topical care and professional treatments, marking the next generation of scientific skincare for those who want to sculpt, smooth, and restore the balance of their skin in a natural but effective way.
ZO’s core pillars of anti-ageing have always centred around deep-acting science, visible results, and uncomplicated routines – and the new Peptide Facial Refining Concentrate is a true reflection of this. Powered by four potent technologies and the brand’s exclusive ZPOLY Complex, it targets key markers of facial geometry to visibly lift, firm and refine the skin. Designed to address volume loss, sagging, and expression lines, it smooths and supports the skin barrier while sculpting a rejuvenated, contoured look.
The key lies in the combination and potency of its advanced ingredients. The formula over-indexes on the recommended concentration of each of its key components, setting it apart from other peptide serums on the market.
The Peptide Refining Complex is delivered at twice its recommended concentration to help restore firmness and structure, while the Volumising Tripeptide, at 1.5 times, encourages natural hyaluronic acid production to plump hollow areas. The Acetyl Octapeptide-3, five times stronger than standard formulations, works to soften visible expression lines, and completing the quartet, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is delivered at 1.5 times the recommended concentration to support collagen integrity to diminish deeper wrinkles. At the same time, ZO’s exclusive ZPOLY Complex, also at 1.5 times its usual concentration, strengthens the barrier and reduces post-treatment redness.
The claims made around the impact of the Peptide Facial Refining Concentrate are bold – but they are overwhelmingly supported by strong clinical data. 12 weeks of use led to 92% of subjects reporting fewer fine lines, 96% noting smoother skin, and 84% seeing visibly younger-looking facial geometry. Measurable and visible improvements were also observed in jawline definition and cheek volume, with participants achieving a visibly lifted, sculpted appearance.
Ideal for those seeking non-invasive rejuvenation, this formula is equally transformative for those who already incorporate injectables or fillers into their routines. It amplifies and extends the effects of professional treatments, targeting surrounding areas that traditional filler cannot reach. The product also acts as an essential ally for individuals using GLP-1 weight-loss medications, counteracting the type of facial volume loss that has triggered the use of the phrase “Ozempic Face”.
Founded by world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Zein Obagi, ZO Skin Health is a leader in physician-dispensed skincare, known for its rigorous scientific foundations and proven results.
