A regenerative essence engineered with patented liquid oxygen and phyto-exosomes with an advanced, more intelligent peptide — to help visibly firm, smooth, and rebalance the skin from within. Centered around a birch sap–based formula with natural humectant properties, this oxygen-enhanced step supports sustained hydration, ensures optimal pH levels, reinforces barrier behavior, and prepares skin for deeper, more effective absorption of every formula that follows.
O₂ Exosome Eight Active Essence is an oxygen-amplified regenerative essence that promotes renewal at the cellular level. Its mineral-rich birch sap base comprises over 75% of the formula. Naturally containing glycerin and humectant compounds, birch sap delivers sustained hydration while helping support elasticity, radiance, and overall skin comfort. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help calm skin and reinforce balance from the very first application.
Patented liquid oxygen improves cell health, increases microcirculation, and optimizes collagen and elastin production, while pH levels are balanced to help actives absorb and perform more effectively.
Phyto-exosomes — tiny vesicles that act as natural messengers — deliver proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and growth factors to help promote tissue repair and regeneration, calm inflammation, and visibly improve firmness, tone, and texture from within.
A progressive PHA renewal and pH-balancing system provides gentle, non-mechanical exfoliation to smooth and refine over time without irritation.
A brightening complex of licorice root, kojic acid, and pomegranate extract helps reduce the look of dark spots, while ectoin and amino acids reinforce barrier function for lasting hydration and resilience.
The result is skin that is optimally balanced, hydrated, and receptive from the first step of your routine.

Why oxygen
Oxygen, the eighth element, is most vital to skin and by age 40, skin oxygen levels reduce by up to 60%. Oxygen loss impacts cellular metabolism. It depletes collagen and elastin and slows cell repair and renewal, causing loss of firmness, wrinkles and discoloration. The decline of oxygen in the skin is the root cause of the signs of aging.
Liquid oxygen benefits to skin
- Enhances efficacy of any active
Oxygen improves skin cell health which permits actives to work harder.
- Accelerates microcirculation
Increases the body's natural delivery of oxygen to skin cells and improves lymphatic system removal of toxins.
- Enhances cellular metabolism
Oxygen supercharges cellular metabolism, improving collagen and elastin production and enhancing cellular repair and renewal.
