The first clinic in the Philippines to offer facials exclusively using ZO Skin Health products, the LIFESTYLE.INQ team was invited to Glow Skin Clinic once again to try out their unique newest experience: the ZO Brightening Facial, and the ZO Acne + Oil Control Facial! With the promise to leave us with a “refreshed and renewed glow”, we tested the treatments out to see how they could address our individual skin concerns.
However, before we go into our personal accounts, here’s a quick brief on what these treatments actually are. The ZO Brightening Facial is the way to go for those with hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or dull and dry skin, the ZO Brightening Facial is the way to go. It can provide you with a fresh, bright, and replenished glow that you’ll love. As for those dealing with acne, oil control issues, or dull and dry skin, the ZO Acne + Oil Control Facial is the perfect solution. It can help you achieve an even, clear, and refreshed glow.
Both treatments include the Diamond Peel to get rid of dead skin, Oxylight Therapy, which uses pure oxygen to promote healing, perfect for acne, and anti-aging treatments. And to make the whole experience even better, they’ve added a new hand and forearm massage to their regular 15-minute facial massage. It’s the ultimate pampering experience and definitely a personal favorite!
ZO Acne + Oil Control
What it is: The ZO Acne + Oil Control Facial is a treatment exclusively using ZO Skin Health products targeted to decongest pores, reduce breakouts, and control oil. Partnered with the Diamond Peel and Oxylight Therapy these treatments brightens post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation for a bright and healthy glow.
Who it’s for: This treatment is perfect for those who are experiencing breakouts and acne, battling oily skin, and looking to purge and cleanse those problem areas.
How it went: “The whole treatment process was an absolute dream and incredibly relaxing– I’m pretty sure I dozed off halfway through it. My skin was cleansed before anything else and then I was treated to the most indulgent skincare products. Not gonna lie, a step in any facial that I dread is the cleaning, only because of how uncomfortable pricking and squeezing out all the build-up can be. But my experience with glow skin might just be my best yet. My aesthetician handled my skin with the lightest touch through each step that I barely even felt it.
My skin felt like it went through a deep cleansing process because of how well the treatment was able to unclog my pores but without the harshness, other treatments put you through. After the facial, I noticed a brighter look to my complexion and my skin felt and looked soft and supple too. Overall, this has got to be one of my top facial experiences and would most likely be a go-to for days when I feel like my skin needs a pick me up.”

ZO Brightening Facial
What it is: The ZO Brightening Facial not only exfoliates dead skin cells but also brightens the skin using specialized serums. It targets dark spots or hyperpigmentation caused by breakouts, sun damage, and the aging process. This facial is a great addition to your skincare routine for all-around healthy, glowing, and flawless skin.
Who it’s for: Suitable for all skin types, this treatment is perfect for those who are looking to brighten dull-looking skin.
How it went: “Dryness and acne caused by extended hours in front of the computer screen, the rapid degradation to my skin felt untreatable given my responsibilities that demanded that I sit for hours to an end on my laptop and my hobbies that placed me in front of the television playing games and watching anime. It had felt as if I were aging uncontrollably, my very fatigue showing on my skin; dark circles under my eyes, and that very “tired” look. Going into this treatment, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by how I felt afterwards. Apart from the experience itself, it felt great to set aside time for myself and actually indulge in a little R&R. The ZO Brightening facial immediately left me feeling refreshed and relaxed, and I’d do it again after a taxing week.”
