Question
What should I use after the Oxygen Peel at night?
I use Philosophy's On a Clear Day system for acne. But not sure what I should use after my face is rinsed. I have the On a Clear day moisturizer should I try that?

I think you should just follow up with your normal skin care routine. What I do is just rinse it off thoroughly, dry my face, and apply my toner (just drug store brand or any you have), then comes pimple cream if I have a pimple here or there) and then on with moisturizer. =)

A Philosophy rep helped me with this set and the On a Clear Day set (first time Phil buyer). She said to cleanse, then use the Oxygen Peel, then the All over Acne, then spot treat, then the Retinol.

Residue?
After I have scraped the mixture off my skin, there is still a residue left. Is this normal? Am I not massaging the gel and the foam together enough?

I haven't had that problem. You should massage the foam onto the mixture until it looks like shaving cream on your face!! I massage it together for about a minute or so. Maybe try using more foam. I scrape it off with the tool then wash with lukewarm water.

i have problem skin and have not noticed any difference...worse or better. if your skin is acne prone, it'd be best to try one new product per month. if you start three new ones (hypothetically), and have bad breakouts, it'll be a long drawn out process of elimination to find the culprit.

I didn't have any problems with acne. And I am the type where if I don't wash my face and eat a piece of chocolate, I will wake up with 2 new friends. It has helped my acne actually because it cleans out the pores.

After the first use it will bring out anything hiding under the skin however I find that using both, The Oxygen Peel and the On a Clear Day kit have made my blemishes vanish. I used the peel for the 3 day boot camp and now once a week. There is a big difference in my skin tone and texture. Try it, I tthink you will be surprised.

I use it after I do at home microdermabrasion. Though I do use this slightly more often than I pull out that machine. Everything works better w the serious exfoliation of a peel (esp if your skin is older).

can oxygen foam be used by itself?

I don't think so but I only dissolve a small portion of the capsule and use the remaining gel that it creates again the next day. I didn't see anything in the package that warns against this and the gel is still effective.

I can say that a capsule could probably be split and therefore, make 2 treatments. The capsule and water gel up and there is more than plenty for a treatment. I think it would be wise to use half of a capsule and less water so that you could make the product go further.

Question
Would you recomend this over the microdelivery peel?
I have used the microdelivery peel and love it. I moved away from the phylosophy skin care becuase it seemed that I broke out with it more than with others but I loved how soft and refreshed my skin looked. I am currently using dermalogica and I have never seen my pores so big. AAAAHHHH
would the Oxygen Peel be better than the microdelivery peel to tighten up and close my pores?

I recommend both as long as your skin can handle it. I use both and they really are two different products. The microdelivery peel is an exfoliating scrub, while the oxygen peel is more of a deep cleansing/pore clearing foam.

I don't know if you can buy the tablets but what a lot of people seem to do and what was reccommended to me was using only half a tablet and filling the gel gup half way with warm water this way it will last longer and besides if you ever noticed there is a lot that seems to go to waste.

As far as I know, you can't buy the capsules by themselves. Have you tried using only half a capsule (and just sliding the two halves back together afterwards)? That's what I did and I ended up getting twice as many uses out of it.
