The Birth of a Skincare Range

Founded in 1975 by Nobel Institute Honoree Dr. Paul Herzog, the Karin Herzog skincare line is the result of years of scientiﬁc research focused on the stabilization of active oxygen.

Having developed a pioneering ventilation device and taken part in the development of the ﬁrst artiﬁcial respirator, Dr. Herzog dedicated his entire career studying, researching and harnessing the powerful eﬀects of oxygen throughout the human body.

When he began his study, most believed it was impossible to stabilize active oxygen in a cream because it is very volatile. But a mere eight years after beginning his research, Dr. Paul Herzog successfully stabilized active oxygen in an emulsion and was awarded a global patent for this important breakthrough.

Dr. Herzog’s goal was to create a hypoallergenic oxygen cream for use as a medical treatment to repair the skin of burns victims. It was his wife Karin, a professional beautician, who immediately saw the potential of this breakthrough by observing the amazing results on the regulation of epdermis functions, and convinced him of the beneﬁts of his discovery for the world of skincare.

Still run by the founding family, the Karin Herzog Lab continues to produce innovative, elegant and high-performance formulations for the global marketplace.

Why Oxygen?

Detoxifying, hydrating & normalizing

Just like every other cell in our bodies, our skin cells need oxygen to function properly. As we age and are subject to environmental inﬂuences, the oxygen level in our skin declines leading to premature aging, lines and wrinkles, a lackluster complexion, dry skin, blemishes, blackheads and other problematic skin conditions..

Oxygen – one of nature's most eﬀective disinfectants – is essential in killing bacteria to power up the skin cells, promoting collagen & elastin growth and helping to renew, tighten, plump and strengthen the skin.

Dr. Herzog’s clinically proven formula uses the key ingredient of active oxygen to treat various issues, including pre to post surgery healing process, ﬁghting signs of aging, curing acne & blemishes, and treating other skin concerns such as rosacea and hyperpigmentation.

How it works

Dr. Herzog developed a formula, which essentially creates small barriers around each oxygen atom so they are unable to join with like atoms and create O2 molecules.

Leveraging the unique stabilization and conversion process, Karin Herzog products deliver bioavailable oxygen, water and essential nutrients into the deepest layers of the skin with the following action sequence:

Active oxygen is stabilized in the cream (liquid form - hydrogen peroxide).
When the cream comes into contact with the skin, the catalase enzyme on the skin destroys the barriers around each oxygen atom to free them. The oxygen atoms join to create O2 molecules, which creates a mini explosion and release H2O (water).
During this conversion, pressure is created, which propels the oxygen, water and other active ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol and AHA under the skin, directly into the epidermis, where it is needed to optimize skin functions.

Oxygen & Oxygen & The Brush

The Karin Herzog ritual is further enhanced by the use of the brush.

The oxygen in the patented formula is only released from the cream when it comes into contact with the Catalase enzyme in the skin. Application of the oxygen creams with a brush prevents the oxygen from being released into the fingertips, saving its miracle powers for the areas where you need it most.

Use a brush when product shows one of our oxygen logo.
