What to Expect with Zest
Stable & Hassle-Free Skin
Clear skin shouldn't come with this much work. Zest is your covered Centene dermatology benefit. We are a virtual psoriasis & eczema specialized clinic.
30 minutes with a dermatology specialist who really listens, looks at your skin, and asks the questions that usually get skipped in a rushed office visit.
If your skin is stable, we’ll talk about how to sustain it with better skincare practices, screenings, and prescription management. For unstable skin, we’ll lay out the steps to get there, looking at all the options with support every step of the way.
Whether you need help keeping your skin clear, treating a recent flare, or managing symptoms, we’re here in your pocket

Psoriasis
Sammy
Off-ramped biologic after a decade
Instant derm support with long visits
- Psoriasis since childhood: it touched everything, confidence, sports, social life
- A biologic helped, but the needle, the refills, the insurance stress never went away
- With Zest, Sammie slowly reduced the biologic. Clear skin. No more needles.
Psoriasis was the bane of my existence from childhood until today: everything from my confidence to if I play pickup soccer this weekend was a decision I had to make based on how my skin was doing. Finally, I found a biologic that manages my condition. But I thought that was the end of the road for my treatment. For the rest of my life, I’d have to depend on the injection to keep my disease at bay. Insurance changes scared me, prior authorizations and refills are a hassle.
With Zest, I was able to slowly but surely off-ramp my biologic after a decade to a needle-free clear skin future.
My skin has always been so unstable. Never knew when a flare was coming up, topical ointments overflowed from my medicine cabinet, bedside tables, and even in my car. Despite my biweekly biologic injection, I still couldn’t predict how my skin would be the next day. From special life events, to just knowing if I could wear a t-shirt on a sunny spring day, I felt like my skin and I were in constant battle.
Zest has transformed how I manage my eczema providing effective treatment without the long wait times or high costs of traditional medical practice. Zest’s long appointments where I was heard and treatment that was custom-made for me was so comforting. I started with flare management and today, I only use my shot every other month. The needle-free and steroid-free future is closer than it has ever been.
