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

June 11 | 3 minute read

Words by Ruby Devlin

We’re in an era of skin minimalism where the savviest skincare users are searching for true multitaskers.

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. 

 

Oxygen is crucial for overall skin health and fuels our skin cells’ ability to repair themselves. With age, our bodies redirect oxygen to our most vital organs (understandably!), but this can leave our skin oxygen-deprived, making fine lines, dullness and other signs of ageing more noticeable. By the time we’re 40, our skin’s oxygen levels have reduced by 60%. 

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.

After speaking to Gerard, we were tempted to rush out and replace our entire routine with Element Eight. However, even he reminded us why this oxygen-infused line is truly special: “If your favourite moisturiser is The Rich Cream by Augustinus Bader, I’m not going to try to convince you to not use it because you would resent me for that,” Gerard says. “But I can make that product work better if you use our serum underneath it. That’s because [OATH™] helps create this healthier cellular environment and puts your cells in a position to enable every active to work more efficaciously... If you work one of our products into your routine, your favourite product will perform better.”

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.
