Product Description
A frothy mask that releases oxygen into the skin, so your complexion is instantly brighter, fresher, and younger-looking. Instantly delivers a shot of oxygen, a powerhouse form of vitamin C, time-released antioxidants, and a moisture fix, to spiff up your complexion when it’s looking and feeling lackluster.

How it works :

-Vitamin C: Stimulates collagen synthesis and reduces melanin production that can lead to dark spots.
-EUK-134: An Antioxidant for "post-metabolism" cleanup.

I am really late on this review, isn't it? This mask has taken the world by storm a couple of years back and here I am, only reviewing it after having the product for a year.

This triple oxygen instant energizing mask by Bliss Spa is engineered as a stand-in for Bliss Spa's world famous facial. It releases oxygen molecules and detoxifiers. Hence, its touted as a super quick fix for dull tired skin.

I purchased this at a really good bargain early last year. Considering that this product was highly marked up at $109 in Sephora Singapore, I managed to snag this for US$41.60 ( after a 20% discount off the original price of US$52 on drugstore.com ). However, sadly, I have used up only less than 50% of the contents, because I don't use this very often.

I didn't really fancy the long bottle, its cumbersome and difficult to store in my stash. It is my very first oxygen mask and I am intrigued. I had an oxygen facial done before, with my regular beautician but I didn't feel any significant difference to my skin, after the treatment. It feels very normal to me. Subsquently, I bought some oxygen ampoules before, to be used at home. Again, there was nothing spectacular.

This oxygen mask product is stored in a blue and white bottle (Bliss signature colours), with a small pump nozzle that is not easy to use. It require a few hard presses on the nozzle in order to get the contents out, which is a pink gel like texture. After massaging into damp skin, it creates a white foam that gets thicker and slowly move on to a thin froth. It can be quite irritating and itchy when it gets into the nostrils though. After the stipulated 5 minutes, the froth on the face started to diminish and thats when I washed it off.
The instructions on the box do recommend it to be rinsed off once a full froth forms though.
I see an immediate brightening effect. Skin feels softer, appears more radiant and even-toned. I look fresh and ready to face the world!
Although this is an instant fix and the effects only last a day or so but still, its a good emergency fix before an important event.

However, I don't use this very often because my first skincare concern has always been hydration and this mask is not able to raise my hydration level, so I tend to alternate it with a hydrating mask. I use this oxygen mask only when my skin is sufficiently hydrated.
Another thing to note is that, it contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate which is something I like to avoid in my products which is an irritant (EWG)
