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.

How to use
Apply ZO Skin Health Recovery Crème every evening to clean skin on the face and neck. Gently massage in a small amount until fully absorbed. This cream contains retinol, so always use sunscreen during the day.
