Only Herzog's super-charged skincare formulas release millions of oxygen bubbles with every application. See and feel the difference in application & results
Are you thinking of having surgery? Whether it’s a medical necessity or a cosmetic choice, using Karin Herzog’s unique oxygen products can help you heal and stay infection free.
Doctors and surgeons in the USA have long been relying on our oxygen creams for helping patients, and the UK medical profession is now catching on to how to use our products both pre and post surgery. Karin Herzog products were developed by Dr Paul Herzog, a Nobel Insitute honoured doctor, so have always had a sound base in medicine. There’s more information on Dr Herzog and his work here.
The prevention of infection is key to recovering from any form of surgery; you’ll be ensuring that your wounds heal quicker, and that your scars are minimal as scars from wounds which have become infected are far worse. Oxygen Body 3% is the ultimate product to help your body immediately after surgery.
1) Oxygen Body 3% is anti bacterial and so prevents and can heal any infections.
2) Collagen is oxygen dependant and so to build collagen (the foundation of youthful, plump skin) you need to maintain a good pressure of oxygen within the skin. Only Karin Herzog oxygen products are proven to do this. Collagen is needed to bring the wound together and to form the new skin over the scar and the collagen needs oxygen to guarantee a better success rate.
3) Any invasive treatments can traumatise the skin so you need to give it back the essential and natural elements to nurture, repair and heal: Oxygen pure water and vitamins – to calm and restore.
4) The water delivered helps keep the area treated hydrated and cleansed
5) Smokers have skin hypoxia (a deficiency in the amount of oxygen delivered to the skin tissues) and so heal much slower than non-smokers. Therefore all if you’re a smoker considering surgery it’s even more important to use Karin Herzog – both before AND immediately post surgery.
6) Herzog’s products are anti-inflammatory and so help to greatly reduce swelling
And remember, choosing the right surgeon for you is vital. We’d recommend consulting the British Association of Plastic Surgeons website before making any decisions about cosmetic surgery.

How’s this for a depressing list? Lines, wrinkles, age spots and tired lifeless complexions, increased sensitivity, delayed healing and reduced energy. Yup there are many (all too obvious) signs of ageing. And anti ageing products represent over 70% of all skin care sales, with manufacturers spending millions on advertising one age defying formula after another.
So how come nothing seems to work?
If you take away the advertising spend and the celebrities getting paid to endorse them, what are you left with? Well, basically there are 3 main product types which use the following methods:
Essential Oils – To moisturize
These products feel comforting, smell nice and add moisture to the top layers of your skin. Most experts agree that very little, if any of the product actually penetrates the skin. Even if they do, does your skin need or indeed recognise these oils?
Acid based products – To strip and peel
Revealing younger looking skin may sound great, but if you keep stripping the skin without giving something back, it’s only a matter of time before your skin becomes sensitive, dry and more reactional. A dryer, thinner skin will always age more quickly than a oily thicker skin.
Concealers – To disguise and cover up
Great for a quick fix or repair, but purely cosmetic and offering nothing to feed or repair the skin.
So why is Karin Herzog different?
Karin Herzog’s oxygen rich creams work in a completely different way to all other skincare products. They uniquely self penetrate the skin, replicating Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, detox on contact and deliver oxygen and water to the skin to dramatically increase circulation and hydration levels.
These levels would otherwise naturally decrease as we get older and are fundamentally responsible for the signs of ageing. Karin Herzog creams only contain what your skin needs and recognises – oxygen, water and vitamins.
Each and every time you apply Herzog, you are effectively ‘switching your skin on’. From an anti ageing view point, you will boost your hydration and circulation levels to where they were in your teens!

Did you know you can use Karin Herzog’s Oxygen cream on your teeth?
We’ve had a controlled clinical trial to show how our oxygen creams improve problems like receding gums, gingivitis and periodontal disease. All cells of the body need oxygen, so that includes those inside the mouth. As oxygen creams are mildly antiseptic they will help prevent decay and the mouth feels super-clean afterwards. Plus teeth will gradually become whiter.
Apply a tiny amount of a 2 or 3% oxygen cream (try Vita-A-Kombi 2, Oxygen Face or Oxygen Body 3%) to your toothbrush and work into the teeth and gums. At first you will see white patches on the gums where the oxygen is lingering in damaged areas to help repair, but this goes after a few minutes and after you have used regularly it does not happen. It’s like those reveal gums from the dentist to show plaque – only this shows the areas where there is damage.
Rinse with water then wipe tongue over teeth – super clean! We normally then just have a quick brush over with toothpaste for the minty taste.
No time to get to the salon? Don’t panic, we’re going to teach you a weekly routine which will speed up and enhance the effect of your daily oxygen routine, giving you firmer, brighter more luminous clear skin, with fine lines diminished and blemishes greatly reduced or eradicated – who could want for more?
2. Spritz the skin with the Karin Herzog Tonic Lotion and gently press into the skin
3. Apply the Karin Herzog Mild Scrub and remove with either our Face Silk, or a muslin cloth soaked in hot water (not too hot if you have broken capillaries)
5. Cover the face with cling film, but leaving holes to allow you to breathe comfortably!
6. Relax for 10-15 minutes
7. Remove any product remaining on the skin by using the Face Silk with hot water . Press the silk all over the face and neck. Re-soak the silk in water and apply to the face with circular movements. Finally, spritz the face with cold water and pat dry
Phew it’s hot! We’re loving the summer sun, but it’s easy to let your beauty regime slide when you’re enjoying a heat wave, so we thought we’d share some inside info with you on our number one summer multi-tasking product!

As our MD, Julie Cichocki says: “Its like taking a chemist and therapist away on holiday with you”.
We’ve had some exciting news from an independent clinical trial, which proves that Karin Herzog Oxygen Sun Cream is the ultimate essential summer skincare product – helping you get a great ran, from shorter periods of sun exposure!
To get a natural tan you need oxygen, sun and melanin, and it’s now been proved conclusively that our Oxygen Sun increases melanocytes (melatonin producing cells) production and distribution within the skin. This increases the skins own ability to protect itself and simultaneously will increase the tan and increase hydration for added comfort. Plus the 1% oxygen contained in the cream helps the skin to repair old sun damage.
EVERYONE should include this product in their summer skincare routine!
Karin Herzog Oxygen Sun is 100% paraben and preservative free and provides SPF level 4. For stronger protection higher SPF creams can be applied AFTER applying Oxygen Sun cream and allowing it to penetrate.
To ensure best results apply daily for at least two weeks prior to sun exposure, allowing the melanocytes to build within the skin.
Here at Karin Herzog we’re incredibly proud of our range of professional treatments. To help you learn more about which treatment is best suited to your skin, and what results you can expect, over the coming weeks we’re going to publish blog posts on each one.
