What is the hydrogen peroxide in Karin Herzog products?

We often get asked if there’s any difference in the oxygen in our products and hydrogen peroxide, so here’s some background info that should clear things up. Some people worry that hydrogen peroxide might not be safe to put on their skin, but if you use Karin Herzog oxygen creams, it’s one of the safest, most natural products to choose.

Our hydrogen peroxide is in low concentrations and the cream is the ONLY product in the world that is patented for the stabilisation of hydrogen peroxide in a cream format. It is also the original of all oxygen therapies in beauty today.

Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 (2 molecules of pure water + 2 molecules of oxygen) it is therefore the best, most natural and easiest carrier of oxygen. It is however volatile and escapes into the air when it comes into contact with human skin via the catalase enzyme on the skin. Our cream is the only one that traps the oxygen so instead of escaping into the air, the structure of the cream holds it tight, when it converts to gas it then pushes oxygen and pure water down into the skin.

Oxygen is declining with age, modern living and lifestyle and so the fundamental key to beautiful and anti-aged, detoxed clear radiant skin is to 1) Increase the Oxygen content and pressure in the skin, which Herzog does and also 2) increase water and vital vitamin content, again which Herzog does.

No other cream can do this, so no other cream increases oxygen content in the skin. We hold 3 Global patents, and Dr Herzog was awarded an honour for his work in this field from the Nobel Institute. For more about Dr Paul Herzog and his work, read this article.

There’s more information here on why oxygen is vital for healthy skin.

Please stop using acids to treat acne!

Please, for your skins sake, stop using acids to treat acne!

The use of acid based products provides a temporary fix to acne prone skin, but it can end up prolonging the problem and promoting an inbalance in the skin in later life

Oxygen is the most effective  way to treat acne and is what your skin naturally uses to control spots. So doesn’t it make sense to give your skin what it recognises, utilises and needs?

We’ve got an amazing track record at helping people (even celebrities) beat acne. We’ll work with you to make sure you choose the right products for your skin, and make sure you get advice on how to use the products effectively.

We’ve set up a dedicated website for acne sufferers – which explains  how the products work and why they’re so effective.

Oxygen products are also amazing at reducing or preventing scar tissue and pigmentation, so if you’re still trying to repair the damage that acne earlier in life left, we can help.

Here are just a few comments from customers we’ve already helped:

““I have Asian skin and have had acne since I was 14. I am now 28. When I got a really bad spot it always left a scar when it had eventually healed. I cant praise Oxygen Face cream enough. No more spots and now the scaring is going too, with your help.” – Sonita from Wolverhampton

“After having acne for 19 years, the Vita-A-Kombi 2 is the ONLY thing in the world that has cleared it up … Miracle Stuff’.” – Louise from Reading

“I have suffered from acne and extremely sensitive skin for over 20 years. I purchased your ‘Oxygen Face Cream’ about 3 weeks ago and i can honestly say the results have been amazing. For the first time in my adult life, my skin feels comfortable, its soft, and most importantly (to me) it is almost completely clear. I have had two courses of Roaccutane and literally years of antibiotics with little success, yet the results I have seen with this product in such a short space of time have been far better than anything else I have tried. For the first time in years, I am wearing little or no make up and my skin looks fantastic. My confidence has seen a massive improvement too. So thank you, I am a complete convert!” – Dee from East Sussex

Exfoliation for acne, oily or problematic skin

It’s vital when treating acne and/or problematic, oily  skin that you should also exfoliate regularly – and we mean every single day!

Most skincare ranges suggest only to scrub the skin twice per week. If using our oxygen formulas, we  advise that it is not only OK, but best, to exfoliate each and every day. This is because the action of the oxygen helps to heal, repair and regulate the skin –  so there are no harmful side effects from exfoliating this often.

In our experience many acne sufferers and those with oily skins, really enjoy the feeling of exfoliating daily and this, along with an application of an oxygen cream is like a breath of fresh air to really help the skin feel deeply cleansed and detoxed. This iso achieved without the skin feeling dry or stripped of its essential and natural oils. Daily exfoliation will keeping these oil levels under control, vital for controlling acne.

Karin Herzog Mild Scrub uses ground white marble to gentle polish and refine the skin, it’s gentle, non-drying and won’t scratch delicate skin.

• One of the few totally natural products that provide perfectly spherical particles.
• Contains NO artificial particles, no parabens or preservatives.
• Can be added to the skin with either of the cleansers from our range, to exfoliate whilst cleansing.

Treatment focus: the Pore Draw

Want to know which Karin Herzog professional treatment is best suited to your skin and what results you can expect? Here’s the second in our series of posts on facial treatments:

The Pore Draw: manual extraction facial
For anyone suffering from spots (whether it’s just a few, or acne) the Pore Draw is the most effective and hygienic manual extraction facial. In laymans terms, this means the skin and spots are squeezed for you, in a hygenic and controlled manner.

Oxygen sterilises the therapist’s hands as well as the client’s skin. Blackheads, white heads and even Mila (those annoying tiny hard white lumps many people get around the eyes) can be extracted leaving the skin brighter, clearer fresher and visibly improved.

The Pore Draw is suitable for all types of skin,  even young and sensitive skin and really does provide a deep cleanse. Leaving the skin ultra clean, glowing and fresh.

Especially suitable for people with an urban lifestyle, to get the skin truly, deep down clean.

For clients with severe cases of acne, a series of treatments may be recommened, your therapist will recommend how many and advice you on at home skincare.

If you’d like to book a Pore Draw, or any of our other treatments, contact us for information on your local Karin Herzog salon.

Don’t just want to take our word for it? India Knight described the Pore Draw as ‘the best facial in the world’ in the Sunday Times and Blogger Dolly Mix Fits recently reviewed the Pore Draw and called it ‘the best facial I’ve ever had’, read more here.
