Medical-grade skin care for acne, at home
At home, Neoderma's acne plans use SkinBetter Science, the medical-grade line Neoderma prefers, or ZO Skin Health. Your regimen of cleanser, actives and daily sunscreen is matched to your skin after a 3D skin analysis, and it does most of the work on breakouts between visits. SkinBetter ships to your door; ZO comes from the Anaheim office.

Why does at-home care matter for breakouts?
Because breakouts don't wait for appointments. At Neoderma, the daily regimen carries most of the load on active acne, while in-office care such as the Anti-Acne Facial and the Vi Peel helps settle things faster. The two are planned as one combination: treatments reset your skin, and your routine keeps building on them between visits.
The routine also protects you from what comes after a breakout. UV light darkens post-acne marks, so a daily sunscreen is part of the regimen from day one, not an extra. Acne facials, peels and cystic acne shots covers the in-office side.
How is your regimen chosen?
It starts with a 3D skin analysis rather than a guess. The imaging includes UV photos that show what lies beneath the surface, and it measures pore depth and size, elastin and bacterial levels. What it finds guides the products you actually need, and later scans show how your skin is responding.
From those results, Neoderma's team puts your routine together from SkinBetter Science or ZO Skin Health: a cleanser, the actives that suit your skin, and sun protection. Many medical-grade lines can only be bought through authorized practices like Neoderma, which is why the regimen is built there rather than off a shelf.
SkinBetter Science at Neoderma
SkinBetter Science is a physician-dispensed line, and it is the one Neoderma prefers for at-home care. These are the SkinBetter products Neoderma features:
AlphaRet Overnight Cream
A retinoid plus an AHA in one cream, which smooths fine lines and texture with less irritation. It's the SkinBetter product Neoderma highlights first.
Even Tone Correcting Serum
A serum that brightens dark spots, such as the flat brown marks a breakout can leave behind.
Alto Defense Serum
Antioxidant protection from vitamins C and E.
sunbetter SHEER SPF 56 and TONE SMART
Mineral sunscreen for every day, which matters because UV darkens post-acne marks.
ZO Skin Health at Neoderma
Neoderma also offers ZO Skin Health for acne. ZO is the medical-grade line created by Dr. Zein Obagi, and it is built around protocols: first a daily routine ZO calls Getting Skin Ready, then products to prevent and correct acne. ZO also has protocols for pigmentation, redness and aging.
Getting Skin Ready is a favorite with Neoderma's clients as a daily foundation. The ZO products Neoderma features include Exfoliating Polish, Complexion Renewal Pads, Daily Power Defense, Growth Factor Serum, Retinol Skin Brightener and a broad-spectrum SPF.
Where can I buy SkinBetter Science and ZO?
SkinBetter Science comes through Neoderma's official SkinBetter store. Orders go straight from SkinBetter to your door, and you can come back to reorder whenever you run low.
Shop SkinBetter Science through Neoderma
ZO Skin Health isn't sold online by Neoderma. It is dispensed at the Anaheim office, and you can reorder by calling (714) 533-4777.
Either way, buying through the practice means authentic product that has been stored properly, rather than the counterfeit or expired stock that turns up on online marketplaces. Not sure which products you need? That's what the consultation is for: your skin is analyzed first, and the routine is built around the results.
How should I use my regimen around treatments?
Some products need a break around stronger treatments. AlphaRet, for example, contains a retinoid and an exfoliating acid, and ZO's Retinol Skin Brightener contains retinol, which is also a retinoid. Neoderma's instructions for Secret RF microneedling are to stop retinoids and exfoliating acids about a week before. Afterward, exfoliation stays paused for one to two weeks and retinoids for at least three days.
Sunscreen matters even more after treatment. Neoderma asks you to keep out of the sun for two weeks after Secret RF, wearing SPF 30 or higher, and to put SPF 30 or higher on any sun-exposed skin after PicoWay. Your provider will tell you what to pause, and for how long, before each treatment you book.
At-home acne skin care questions
Can I buy SkinBetter without a consultation?
Yes. Neoderma's SkinBetter store ships straight to you, and you can reorder whenever you run low. A consultation is still the recommended way to start, so the products you buy are the ones your skin needs.
SkinBetter or ZO: which line is for my acne?
Neoderma prefers SkinBetter Science, and it also offers ZO Skin Health for acne. Which line suits you, and which of its products go into your regimen, is decided at the consultation from what your 3D skin analysis shows.
Can I order ZO Skin Health online?
Not through Neoderma, whose online store carries SkinBetter Science. ZO Skin Health is dispensed at Neoderma's Anaheim office, and you can reorder by calling (714) 533-4777.
Why buy through Neoderma rather than an online marketplace?
Because the product is authentic and has been stored properly. Neoderma notes that counterfeit and expired stock is common on online marketplaces, and many medical-grade lines are sold only through authorized practices.
How much does an at-home acne regimen cost?
Neoderma doesn't publish a price for a full regimen, because it depends on what your skin needs; the SkinBetter store lists each product's price. The consultation is $50, credited toward treatment if you proceed within two weeks of the consultation.
