Crepey skin often appears as fine, delicate wrinkles that resemble the texture of crepe paper. It can occur anywhere on the body but is most common on the face, neck, arms, and décolletage—areas that are frequently exposed to sun and environmental stress. While it’s a natural part of the skin’s aging process, crepey texture doesn’t have to be permanent.
Advancements in skincare have made it possible to restore firmness, elasticity, and smoothness through targeted products. At dermaSpalogy, we trust the results-driven formulations from ZO® Skin Health, a brand built on medical-grade innovation and clinical performance.
Below, we explore the top five ZO products formulated to address crepey skin, each designed to strengthen your skin barrier, stimulate collagen, and promote visible renewal over time.
Before diving into the products, it’s helpful to understand why crepey skin develops. The main contributing factors include:
Treating crepey skin requires more than simply adding moisture—it involves supporting the skin’s ability to repair, renew, and protect itself. The following products from ZO Skin Health offer a layered approach to improving both surface texture and deeper skin structure.
The Essential Solution for Crepey Skin
The ZO Body Emulsion is one of the most comprehensive treatments for crepey skin on the body. It hydrates deeply while supporting the skin’s natural repair process to improve firmness and elasticity.
This lightweight yet powerful lotion combines retinol with enzymes and antioxidants to encourage cell turnover and collagen production. It also brightens uneven tone and smooths rough patches, leaving the skin soft, supple, and visibly more resilient.
Used daily, Body Emulsion helps restore hydration and density to areas like the arms, knees, and décolletage—where crepey texture is often most noticeable.
Key Benefits:
Revitalizing Care for the Neck and Delicate Areas
The neck and chest are often the first places to reveal aging and crepey texture. The ZO Recovery Crème is specifically formulated to restore moisture and firmness in these delicate areas.
This rich, restorative cream works overnight to soothe, repair, and rebuild the skin barrier. It features ceramides, squalane, and retinol to nourish dry or sensitized skin while improving texture and elasticity. The formula also helps minimize visible redness or irritation often associated with aging or environmental exposure.
With consistent use, the neck and décolletage appear smoother and more lifted, complementing facial skincare results.
Key Benefits:
Best for: Crepey or aging skin on the neck, chest, and lower face.
Lift and Tighten Where It Matters Most.
For many people, the first signs of crepey skin appear in areas prone to movement and thinness—such as the jawline, neck, and décolletage. ZO Firming Serum directly addresses these concerns by stimulating the production of elastin and visibly tightening the skin’s structure.
This serum is formulated with Sodium DNA, an ingredient that supports skin regeneration and hydration. It also contains the proprietary ZO-RRS2™ plant stem cell complex, which helps calm inflammation and reinforce the skin’s defenses. Together, these components help the skin appear firmer and more toned, with a smoother surface texture.
What sets the Firming Serum apart is its gentle approach. This serum delivers noticeable results without irritation, even for more sensitive areas like the neck. Regular use helps restore contour and definition while improving overall skin density.
Best for: Targeting sagging, thinning, or delicate skin on the face, neck, and chest.
Refine Lines and Boost Collagen.
Crepey skin often comes with fine lines and uneven texture, both of which can be improved with retinol—a gold-standard ingredient in anti-aging skincare. ZO Wrinkle + Texture Repair is a high-potency retinol treatment designed to refine skin texture, boost collagen production, and smooth fine lines.
This product features retinol combined with the exclusive ZCORE™ complex, which supports the skin’s structural integrity and helps maintain firmness in areas prone to sagging. The result is smoother, more resilient skin that gradually develops a more youthful tone and feel.
Because it contains a high concentration of retinol, it’s essential to introduce Wrinkle + Texture Repair gradually, allowing the skin to build tolerance. dermaSpalogy’s skincare professionals can help you develop a personalized schedule that maximizes results while minimizing sensitivity.
Best for: Smoothing lines, improving tone, and promoting long-term collagen renewal.
Reveal Smoother, Healthier Skin.
No anti-aging routine is complete without proper exfoliation. ZO Exfoliating Polish is a gentle yet effective physical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells and promotes a brighter, smoother complexion.
Formulated with magnesium crystals, it polishes the skin’s surface to reveal a more refined texture while enhancing circulation and improving product absorption. Regular exfoliation helps prevent buildup that can make skin look dull or emphasize crepiness.
Used two to three times per week, the Exfoliating Polish not only refines the skin’s surface but also primes it to absorb serums and moisturizers better. Over time, this simple step can make a visible difference in how smooth and firm the skin feels.
Best for: Enhancing radiance, improving texture, and supporting deeper treatment results.
To address crepey skin effectively, consistency and balance are key. Each of these products can be used on its own, but they are most effective when incorporated into a complete skincare routine:
Morning Routine:
Evening Routine:
Combining these targeted treatments helps address multiple layers of skin health—from exfoliation and repair to firming and protection.
While these medical-grade products are available through skincare professionals, it’s essential to receive guidance tailored to your unique needs. dermaSpalogy’s team can help design a regimen that considers your skin’s condition, tolerance, and goals.
Crepey skin improvement takes time, typically showing results over several weeks to months of consistent use. However, clients who commit to a personalized ZO regimen often notice a smoother, firmer, and more radiant appearance that continues to refine with ongoing care.
Crepey skin develops gradually—but with the right products and consistent routine, it can also improve gradually and meaningfully. Each of the ZO products above works synergistically to renew and protect, creating a foundation for long-term skin health.
At dermaSpalogy, we believe in a thoughtful, science-based approach to skincare. By combining professional-grade formulations with personalized care, we help clients achieve skin that feels stronger, looks smoother, and ages beautifully.
