Product information

ZO Skin Health Recovery Crème is a rich, restorative night cream for dry, chapped or out-of-balance skin. It contains ceramides, shea butter and squalane to repair the skin barrier, plus retinol.

What does Recovery Crème do?

A damaged skin barrier lets moisture escape and irritants in. Skin feels tight and chapped and reacts more quickly with redness. This cream replenishes the building blocks the barrier needs: ceramides, fatty acids and plant sterols. Shea butter and squalane keep skin supple, while a fermented bacterial extract supports its natural recovery. Retinol and peptides also work toward a smoother skin texture.

Who is it for?

  • Dry to very dry skin
  • Skin chapped by cold, wind or the use of active products
  • Skin that needs to become calmer and more resilient

Please note: this cream contains retinol. Do not use it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Right after a peel or laser treatment, a retinol-free cream such as Hydrating Crème is often a better choice; if in doubt, ask your skin therapist.

Key ingredients and how they work

  • Ceramide NG and linoleic acid: repair the skin’s protective barrier.
  • Shea butter and squalane: keep skin supple and limit moisture loss.
  • Lactococcus ferment lysate: supports natural recovery.
  • Retinol and retinyl palmitate: support cell renewal.
  • Peptides (caprooyl tetrapeptide-3, acetyl hexapeptide-8): for smoother, firmer-looking skin.

What results can you expect?

By the next morning, skin feels supple and comfortable. After a week or two, chapped skin is usually noticeably calmer and less tight.

Tip from our skin therapists

Use Recovery Crème in the evening and a lighter cream with SPF during the day. Don’t combine it on the same night with a strong retinol product. Cleanse dry skin gently, for example with Hydrating Cleanser.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use Recovery Crème?

For moderately dry or irritated skin. This rich cream hydrates and softens, and its retinol helps improve fine lines and skin texture. Right after a laser or peel treatment, only use what your practitioner recommends.

How often should I use the cream?

Once a day, in the evening, on clean skin on the face and neck. Because the cream contains retinol, always use sunscreen during the day.

Isn’t the cream too heavy for my face?

The texture is rich but absorbs well. If you have oily skin, use it mainly during recovery periods.

Can I use this during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

This product contains retinol. Retinol is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If in doubt, consult your doctor or midwife.
