Oxygen-Infused Skincare Is a Breath of Fresh Air (Literally)

Think: potent, results-driven formulas that meet their KPIs and then some. Cleansers that exfoliate, sunscreens that feel like serums and moisturisers that do more than just hydrate.
But what about skincare that enhances the efficacy of our other products? Enter: oxygen-infused skincare.
Increasing oxygen in the skin can visibly refresh, improve radiance and plumpness, support collagen and elastin production and even make other actives work better. It also helps the skin to look and feel more hydrated, making makeup look better and last for longer.
No wonder that celebrities attribute their red carpet glow to oxygen-infused facials. These in-clinic treatments are delivered by expert dermatologists and aestheticians using high-tech machines, making it almost impossible to replicate the results at home. Thanks to years of research, innovation and scientific breakthroughs, topically applied oxygen skincare can now deliver that post-facial glow in your everyday routine.
The brand doing it best is Element Eight. Its patented delivery system, Oxygen Amplified Therapy or OATH™, was developed by a team of 16 scientists, surgeons, dermatologists and engineers and delivers liquid oxygen deep into the skin when applied topically. Originally created to aid spinal surgery recovery, this breakthrough technology is now at the heart of every Element Eight formulation.
Element Eight’s President Gerard Camme tells us these formulations don’t just deliver oxygen – they also help boost the skin’s microcirculation: “So now your own body is delivering more oxygen [to your skin cells],” he explains.
By helping oxygenate the skin, OATH™ supports skin cell rejuvenation and boost collagen production, so skin is plumper, smoother and more hydrated.
If you are looking for a recommendation, our pick is the O2 Niacinamide Eight Active Serum for more even, radiant and resilient skin. The gel-like, barrier-boosting, oil-free formula contains brightening niacinamide, plumping peptides and, like all Element Eight products, a dose of patented liquid oxygen to elevate the efficacy of the other active ingredients.
