I have used Vit-a-apricot from Karen Herzog and really liked it. Beware though - it will bleach our your eyebrows if you regularly use it.
My Husband likes the Herzog range too.
Rumor has it the original Remede line (from Bliss) was too close to the Herzog line and after a law suit was filed the Remede formulations all changed. |

Two lines come to mind. The one mentioned in the above post Karin Herzog and also the oxygentating line by Pevonia. Good luck, let us know what you decide to try.  |

| Well skinprofusion I'm not sure if oxygen would work for skin thru a moisturizer. I think you'd be better off taking a walk and breathing the oxygen in. Theres just no proof an oxgenated cream works. |

| I think Peter Thomas Roth also makes oxygenated products, as does Sothys (I think theirs is an oxygenting serum) and P8N8. |

biotherm's hydra detox range may be an option. it doesn't contain oxygen but it contains a complex that increases the amount of oxygen your skin can actually absorb. haven't used the moisturisers but i have used the mask in the range and it's quite good

| I use the PSF spray, also a product called OzOXygen by CMI technologies, they are a manufacturer out of TOronto. I love the creams, have used them for a few years, not sure if they have a web site. The number is #1-888-888-Peel, hths. (it is supposed to be stabalized oxygen , there is a cream, eye cream , serum and cleanser, also a lip serum). |

Skyn Iceland's Oxygen Infusion night cream is great. Feels so good on my skin and really gives me a glow the morning after. You can get it at Sephora. I hope EDS adopts this line soon!  |

| Hi, I don't know much about Oxygen Therapy. So, besides giving a glow as dollbird mentioned, what other good results have you guys gained from using Oxygen stuff? |

| I´m a total nitwit when it comes to this, but wouldn´t O2 actually cause damage to the skin (oxidating ? free radical damage)? I´ve always thought that´s what we´re trying to avoid by using antioxidants like vit C and the like. |

Sharkbait I thought that too! I know that some products like the PSF 02 serum use a special "type" of oxygen that is not supposed to cause oxidative damage and some other products may have similar kinds of oxygen that would not be damaging. However, some of the brands mentioned, Karin Herzog and Remede that I know of, use hydrogen peroxide which I would not put on my skin because I believe that they can cause damage. Benzoyl Peroixde is supposed to be a potent oxidizer and I avoid using that also.
If you do a forum search on this you will find more information. |

| Thanks Theresa! I´ve read about oxygen products earlier, and actually have the PSF serum, but I still think oxygen treatments would be damaging, or at least not beneficial. I´ve yet to see conclusive evidence of it´s benefits. If anyone knows of such, please let me know. |

EXACTLY what i would think. i saw a commercial not long ago from, correct me if i am wrong..clearisal? an oxygen face wash? Isn't there a reason they hype up antioxidants...because oxygen is the main free radical that speeds up the aging process? Can anyone else give some insight on this? It's rather confusing. |

| i'm confused too. Also, if it's a spray, wouldn't the oxygen have dissipated before it reaches the skin? |

not knowing ANYTHING about this, but if I remember correctly from PSFs website they say that the "special" oxygen they use is "fixed" to some other substance that makes it stable and will not dissapear before reaching the skin...that's at least how I understood it...
Darren come and explain this for us!!! |

Here is a quote from Darren from an earlier thread that should answer some of your questions.

Lucia,
Yes, you are correct about the O2 Serum. It does not work on the same premise as Hydrogen Peroxide. It is a stabilized form of oxygen that attaches to a free radical & neutralizes it. I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence here, but maybe a quick overview on what a free radical is might help clear up any confusion:
A free radical is a toxic compound that has lost a negatively charged electron. It is produced in the body as a by-product of metabolic oxidation. It therefore carries a positive charge and is unstable. It is capable of attracting an electron away from a vital cellular site such as the electron-rich DNA. Loss of an electron can damage a cell and alter its ability to perform its special function or to replicate itself normally. By introducing an oxygen rich compound with a weak attraction to one of its electrons, O2 Rescue Serum has a spare negative oxygen, and readily surrenders an electron to a free radical. This stabilizes and neutralizes the free radical, which then becomes a stable compound and no longer poses a threat to cell structures.
This is the basic premise for the most effective and stable antioxidants. Traditional antioxidants, however (green tea, vitamin c, etc), still have a positively charged oxygen, so the negative bonds with the spare positive in the body, but then creates an unstable bond in the antioxidant. So then that molecule searches out another spare negative oxygen, and the process continues, but on a lesser & lesser scale. So in reality, there are still free radicals, but they are slightly less damaging, as they begin to act on the antioxidant instead of the biological cell structure of the body.
Hope this makes sense!

Here is a link to the tread that I got the quote from. The thread is about hydrogen peroxide for those who are interested.
