Can ZenithalTM products improve the feel and look of Keratosis Pilaris?

Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition that affects a large percentage of the population. Treatment of KP responds best to a combination of exfoliation and hydration. There are several ZenithalTM products which may help with keratosis pilaris. The main product is the Multi-action body exfoliate with White Willow Bark Extract (natural salicylic acid) which causes noticeable improvement in KP according to research (doi: 10.1155/2015/205012). The StriaFade Body Butter, 3Xtra Lucicalm Gel and BiotiKure Body Butter, all contain ingredients that have been cited for their anti-inflammatory, hydrating and supper efficient barrier support to help promote moisture in the skin, thus preventing further keratinisation.

Are your hair products suitable for all hair types?

Yes. ZenithalTM haircare is suitable for curly, coily, straight, and textured hair, with emphasis on scalp health rather than hair type alone.

Product Usage & Results

How long does it take to see results from ZenithalTM products?

Most users notice improved comfort and hydration within 1–2 weeks, with visible skin or scalp improvements developing over 4–6 weeks of consistent use. Some products like the Alpine Blanc for dark spots and hyperpigmentation may require as long as 12 weeks to see visible results.

Are ZenithalTM products suitable for daily use?

Yes. All products are formulated for regular daily use without over-exfoliation or irritation.

Can products be layered together?

Yes. ZenithalTM formulations are designed to layer without pilling or destabilising the skin barrier. We recommend the whole face routine starting with BotanicaLux cleanser>Jojoba Seed Exfoliate>YouthBoost (night) or HydraLight (all day). Liftona gel toner is a very precious product that can be used whenever a visible lift is required. For the body, we highly recommend using the Multi-Action Exfoliate followed by one of our super hydrating body butters (Biotikure, Lucicalm or Striafade).
