Wrinkle + Texture 0.3%
Wrinkle + Texture 0.3% is a high-potency encapsulated retinol serum from ZO Skin Health, designed to visibly smooth rough texture and soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles while keeping the appearance of irritation to a minimum.
Its retinol is housed in ZO-RDS, a biomimetic liposomal system engineered for controlled release and targeted delivery. ZCORE supports the look of firmer skin, the ZPRO protein complex boosts hydration, and bisabolol and beta-glucan help keep skin comfortable.
In an independent 12-week study of 34 women aged 40–65, ZO reports that 91% agreed skin looked smoother at 4 weeks, and measured a 43% improvement in skin texture, a 22% improvement in global facial wrinkles and a 20% improvement in global facial lines at 12 weeks.
Why We Chose It
At Crafted Beauty, we look for retinol formulas that deliver visible results without making skin miserable. Wrinkle + Texture 0.3% stood out because its encapsulated delivery system is built for tolerability, backed by clear clinical data on texture and lines. It's a thoughtful choice for anyone new to retinol or stepping up from a lower-strength vitamin A product.
