Taking care of our skin is an investment. Whether you are using a cleanser and a moisturiser only or you have a full routine of serums, eye treatments and masques, we all want to make sure that what we use products that are right for us. Based on this, it only makes sense that when it comes to makeup, we still want it to benefit our skin, right?
The health of your skin is our priority and when it came to introducing makeup into our range, Oxygenetix Oxygen Foundation was our match - it was love at first sight!
Why Oxygenetix Oxygen Foundation?
Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation is a breakthrough foundation formulated to help heal and camouflage damaged skin. It was created to help to effectively cover and heal post-procedure skin. The innovative Oxygenetix Breathable Foundation is treatment makeup at its best.
It's suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. This foundation can cover up a wide range of skin conditions including dry skin, eczema, rosacea, scars, bruising, wounds and rashes.
Advanced skin treatments have become increasingly popular and this foundation is ideal for use following chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing.
How does Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation differ from other foundations?
The formulation of the foundation consists of 3 key ingredients:
1. Patented Ceravitae® - This is the hero ingredient in Oxygenetix and promotes oxygen uptake to skin cells which in turn accelerates tissue growth. Ceravitae stimulates skin cells to increase their oxygen uptake and make more of the skin proteins collagen and elastin. These fresh cells accelerate healing of the skin and create younger-looking skin.
2. Aloe Vera - known for its healing properties and forms the base of the foundation instead of traditional water and oils. This together with the patented Ceravitae increases oxygen uptake to the skin and produces skin cell renewal.
3. It's a medical breakthrough formula foundation for post-procedures and is the world’s first breathable foundation. This means its non-comedongenic and allows the skin to breath.
This foundation is the only foundation doctors choose that is safe enough to use post treatment and is proven to help heal the skin.
How does the Oxygenetix Acne Control foundation work?
Formulated with the same Ceravitae Complex to increase the skin’s oxygen uptake, the Oxygenetix Acne Control Foundation contains 2% Salicylic Acid to help unblock pores and minimise acne-causing bacteria on the surface of the skin! Enriched with soothing Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, this foundation helps to calm redness and inflammation while maintaining the skin’s natural pH level.
