What is Post-Procedure Care?
OxygenCeuticals was created upon two main foundations: oxygen’s role in skincare and an emphasis on providing spa clients after-care for their dermatological or surgical procedures. After you receive any skincare treatment, especially one that needs recovery time, you need to take proper care of your skin. Proper care requires the proper tools.
OxygenCeuticals provides the products designed to accelerate the healing of your skin after such treatments like microneedling or LASER as well as soothe, calm, and refresh.
Let’s take a look at OxygenCeuticals’ bestselling post-procedure focused products!
1. Cleansing
Of course we need to keep our skin clean! Our skin is at its most vulnerable state post-procedure! Using a harsh, alkaline cleanser may “clean” your skin, but it’ll do more to irritate it. It’s best to use a gentle cleanser and tepid water to cleanse your skin for at least 72 hours.
A gel type of sub-acid cleanser with pH of 5.0. Cleanses sensitive and troubled skin without causing irritation.
This natural, plant-based foaming wash helps to minimize pores while removing impurities, makeup and dirt. Dimethyl Sulfone and Botanical extracts create a rich foam to cleanse while simultaneously delivering essential nutrients to the skin. Its botanical ingredients are made up of Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Extract, Saururus Chinensis Leaf/Root Extract and Apricot Kernel Extract. These ingredients provide anti-inflammation and antimicrobial effects without stripping the skin.
It’s even been skin irritant patch tested to work perfectly on sensitive skin types, making it a wonderful cleanser for acne as well as dry skin. It’s sensitive enough for clients to use on their skin in the days following their procedure!
To use the Purifying Foaming Wash:
- Take an adequate amount and lather with water.
- Gently apply on the skin and gently rub.
- Rinse off with lukewarm water.
- Can be used as a stand-alone foaming cleanser if you don’t wear heavy makeup.
2. Toning
After cleansing, you need something to wipe off the last tiny bits of dirt and grime that your cleanser just didn’t catch. Nowadays, toners offer much more than just cleansing. A lot of toners have multifunctional ingredients to brighten, moisturize, or exfoliate the skin.
However, after a procedure, you need something to cool and calm the disrupted skin cells. We have a few toners specifically formulated for such a purpose!
Contains high amount of dissolved oxygen and minerals extracted from deep sea water. Soothes and regenerates skin after plastic surgeries or other facial treatments such as LASER, peeling, microneedling, and more.
Made with desalinated deep sea from the East Sea off the coast of Korea, the Cryogenic Activator is packed with pure oxygen and minerals to revive your skin after intensive skincare procedures. Irritant-patch tested, it can be used on any and all skin types and is the go-to recovery mist for spas and dermatology clinics all over Korea!
Pure O2 will cool down the skin’s temperature while simultaneous soothing inflammation and redness. The minerals from deep sea water nourish the skin and provide antioxidative benefits like healing skin damage and enhancing the skin’s defense barrier against bacteria and pollution.
To use the Cryogenic Activator for post-procedure soothing:
- After surgery or facial treatment, spray on face or wet cotton pads and use as mummy mask (for soothing).
You can use it as a toner after cleansing or even just as a facial mist to keep your skin cool and refreshed throughout the day!
Double oxygen skin booster with pure oxygen that instantly soothes and moisturizes skin after aesthetics procedures.
The Double Oxygen Booster, or D:O2 Activator, is a premium facial mist containing minerals and pure oxygen extracted from desalinated deep sea water. The oxygen cartridge, located at the bottom of the bottle, is twisted and “popped” to provide a extra boost of pure O2 into the solution.
Lack of oxygen in the skin can lead to a dull skin tone and broken skin barrier, leaving it vulnerable to exposure to pollution, sun damage, bacteria, and more. When oxygen is supplied to the skin, it purifies and regenerates skin cells.
After spraying the D:O2 Activator, the skin’s temperature is immediately reduced, thereby relieving redness and inflammation. This makes it the perfect facial spray to use after harsh skin treatments.
To use the D:O2 Activator:
- Pull off the safety pin.
- Turn the bottom cap clockwise to pop the oxygen cartridge.
- Spray the mist 5-30cm away from your face and tap into the skin to fully absorb.
Centella Asiatica and Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extracts in Toning Gel relieve sunburn, atopy, irritation, and pain on the skin, especially after facial treatments.
OxygenCeuticals’ Toning Gel is a ultra-light and fast absorbing gel toner that is gentle on the skin. It’s soothing ingredients, Centella Asiatica Leaf and Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extracts, relieve irritation and pain on the skin, especailly after facial treatments.
But it doesn’t just sooth. It also contains anti-aging agents, Adenosine and Allantoin, to improve skin elasticity and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its versatility is what makes the Toning Gel such a great product.
You can use it as a toner after cleansing by applying it to the skin and then patting until absorbed. However, it has a few more wonderful uses!
- To create an ultra hydrating mask, mix with the HA Gel.
- Apply the mixture on your skin and leave it on for 15-30 minutes.
- Wash it off with lukewarm water.
- If you’re a spa or esthetician, leave on during Oxygen Mist Therapy for an extra boost of nutrients!
- For atopic dermatitis:
- Apply a layer of Toning Gel on the face.
- Cover with cotton pads or gauze dampened with the Cryogenic Activator
- Leave on for 10 minutes.
Other uses include:
- As a conducting gel for ultrasonic wave treatment
- As a cooling gel after waxing
3. Ampoules
You might be wondering, “what is the difference between an ampoule and a serum?” or even “why do I need to use an ampoule in the first place?” Well, an ampoule is essentially a super extra potent serum that targets a specific skin concern. You might only use an ampoule on occasions when your skin feels particularly dry and use a serum twice daily.
Procedures like microneedling mean that your skin is super ready to accept even more of your serums active ingredients, allowing maximum potency! Let’s see what ampoules you should use on your post-procedure skin!
A soothing fluid packed with Hydrolyzed Collagen that helps in the recovery of
damaged skin. Calms redness, atopy, and sensitive skin.
What does ‘couperose’ even mean? It’s a French word used to describe Rosacea, a chronic skin disorder. Those with “couperose skin” have inflamed, redness-prone skin, but they may not necessarily suffer from Rosacea. This condition is pretty common for people with fairer skin tones.
Our Couperose Fluid is ampoule targeted towards calming and soothing red and inflamed skin. It contains two powerful soothing ingredients: Aloe Vera Leaf Extract and Cabbage Rose Flower Water. Both of these ingredients cool down inflamed skin, thereby reducing visible redness.
It also contains hydrolyzed collagen for improved skin elasticity and hyaluronic acid for moisture. So if you have dry and sensitive skin, this fluid will be just the thing for you!
To use the Couperose Fluid:
- Apply 1-2 drops of the fluid to the skin.
- Pat gently until fully absorbed.
- Recommended to use with Couperose Cream for better soothing results.
4. Serums
Our next step seems obvious! Serum! A skin serum is a light, easily absorbed liquid that you spread on your skin for extra nutrients, moisture, etc. A serum can even have multiple functions! OxygenCeuticals’ line of serums certainly does.
An ultra-hydrating serum, packed with Sodium Hyaluronate and Jojoba Oil, that retains moisture and keeps skin hydrated. Suitable for acne, dry, oily, and other skin types.
Have you ever seen a serum as a gel? Well, the Moisture Aqua Serum is a super hydrating gel serum that hydrates and plumps the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Packed to the brim with hydrating ingredients, the Moisture Aqua Serum not only hydrates, but builds a foundation for your skin to stay hydrated for longer. Formulated with Hyaluronic acid to add in moisture and prevent it from evaporating, it also contains Arginine for anti-aging effects.
Even further, it contains jojoba oil, one of the best oils you can use on your skin. It’s the oil that’s most similar to the oils naturally produced by our skin, so it doesn’t congest pores, but keeps them feeling fresh and moisturized.
To use the Moisture Aqua Serum:
- Apply an adequate amount to the skin.
- Pat gently until fully absorbed.
- For best results, mixed with a Fluid of your choice to enhance its moisturizing effect.
5. Facial Mask
What fun would skincare be if we couldn’t just plop a mask on our face, get something to drink, and chill on our couch while the mask does its magic?
If you know skincare, you’ll know that a sheet mask actually should come before any cream or moisturizer is applied to the skin. Originating in South Korea, the sheet mask is basically a sheet, soaked in an ampoule, to sit and let absorb into the skin for bonus nutrients.
Let me show you OxygenCeuticals’ best sheet masks for sensitive skin!
It hydrates and regenerates irritated skin after medical procedures. Furthermore,
it soothes sensitive and irritated skin caused by external stress and irritation.
OxygenCeuticals specializes in post-procedure care. That’s how we started out! So we know exactly what it takes for a good sheet mask to calm and soothe irritated skin after procedures like microneedling, microblading, lasers, etc.
The Ceutisome PP Mask is such a mask. This sheet is crafted with soft cotton and eucalyptus fibers mixed in an optimal ratio to rest gently on the skin without itchiness or irritation. Designed to be used directly after dermatological treatments, this mask accelerates damaged skin recovery. It also contains DNA to enhance skin cell regeneration and ceramide to strengthen the skin barriers.

6. Cream
Finally, moisturizers. The best thing you can do for any kind of skin is to keep it hydrated. After your moisture barrier has been disrupted by a procedure, you need to pack on the cream to restore it to its former glory.
Let’s see what creams are best used after a dermatological procedure.
A peptide cream promoting cell turnover to gently resurface skin and even out skin tone for more radiant looking skin.
What could be a more obvious choice than OxygenCeuticals’ PP Cream (Post-Procedure Cream) as a moisturizer for post-treatment skin?
Enriched with peptides and vitamin E, the PP Cream is designed to soothe skin and induce skincell turnover for faster skin recovery. Ingredients like niacinamide and adenosine work to brighten and firm up the skin to reveal a radiant, youthful appearance.

7. Sun Care
This might be the most important thing to remember about skincare. The sun is not your friend. The sun is especially not your friend after you’ve received a skincare treatment! UV rays are even more harmful to your skin post-procedure and you need to take extra precaution to protect it.
Leaving your freshly sensitized skin exposed to the sun can result in extreme hyperpigmentation, irritation, or worse.
Here’s what OxygenCeuticals has in store for sun protection!

It’s a unique combination of mineral and chemical sun filters to ensure your skin is protected from all angles. This sunscreen absorbs flawlessly into the skin without any white cast or greasiness. It also smells really good (but maybe that’s only important to me).
Let’s not forget its bonus benefits! Vitamin E in the formula protects the skin’s moisture barrier and keeps nasty environmental hazards from sticking to the skin. Hyaluronic Acid keeps the skin hydrated and Allantoin soothes and calms skin. Sounds like the perfect formula for a summer sunscreen.
