GLYMED+ OXYGEN CREAM: BEST USES AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

GlyMed's Oxygen Cream is a light, soufflé-style Step 3 moisturizer that your clients will love. This product detoxifies skin cells, boosts microcirculation and oxygenates the skin barrier for deeper, lasting hydration. The result is a brighter, more luminous complexion that never feels heavy or greasy.

IDEAL SKIN PRESENTATIONS

Oily, combination, normal, dry or acne-prone skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS

• Nasturtium: Promotes oxygenation of skin cells and improves surface condition for a healthy glow
• Hydrolyzed Candida Saitoana Extract: Supports skin cell detoxification and longevity
• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: A stable, oil-soluble Vitamin C that brightens and protects collagen
• Grapefruit Peel: Conditions the skin and discourages the formation of comedones

BENEFITS FOR STRESSED SKIN

Oxygen Cream supports skin dulled by environmental stressors by increasing circulation, allowing cells to receive nutrients more effectively, resulting in a refreshed, more balanced complexion.

DAILY HOME CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Apply morning and night to thoroughly cleansed skin—after you apply serums—on the face, neck and décolleté. Massage gently until absorbed, then follow with SPF 15+. If you’re targeting dryness or dehydration in particular, you can add another moisturizer before your SPF.

SITUATIONS WHERE IT IS COMMONLY RECOMMENDED IN PRACTICE

Use as a Step 3 moisturizer in acne, congestion, dullness, hyperpigmentation and photoaging protocols.

GLYMED+ COMFORT CREAM: BEST USES AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

The Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera is a calming, anti-inflammatory daily moisturizer built around concentrated Aloe Vera. If your client's skin is feeling dry, irritated or sensitive after a professional treatment, this might be exactly what it needs. Our calming moisturizer soothes and supports the skin's natural recovery back to a balanced state.

IDEAL SKIN PRESENTATIONS

Dry, dehydrated, sensitive or lipid-deficient skin, including clients presenting with eczema, flaking or post-service redness.

KEY INGREDIENTS

• Aloe Vera: Soothes inflammation, hydrates and forms a protective layer against environmental stressors
• Squalane: Restores the skin's moisture-retaining ability
• Chamomile: Calms the skin with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties
• Arbutin: A natural Tyrosinase Inhibitor that prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Hyaluronic Acid: Replenishes moisture and water content
• Calendula: Contains cleansing properties that soothe irritation and calm sensitive skin

BARRIER-SUPPORTING PROPERTIES

Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera replenishes the skin's lipid layer, which is the barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out. It's acne-safe and gentle enough for use directly after exfoliation, waxing or extractions.

DAILY HOME CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Apply morning and/or night to cleansed skin after serums, based on client need. Continue use until sensitivity resolves.

SITUATIONS WHERE IT IS COMMONLY RECOMMENDED IN PRACTICE

Ideal for clients following professional services, seasonal dryness, temporary sensitivity or ongoing barrier disruption.

HOW TO CHOOSE BETWEEN OXYGEN CREAM AND COMFORT CREAM

Both of these products are crafted with pharmaceutical-grade formulations designed to deliver exceptional results. But to deliver those results, you need to know how best to use them.

Choose GlyMed's Oxygen Cream when…

• Environmental stress or pollution exposure is present
• Acne clients need pore-clearing, bacteria-eliminating support
• Congestion or sluggish circulation is the main concern
• Dull skin needs brightening

Choose GlyMed's Comfort Cream when…

• Sensitivity appears following certain professional services (peels, extractions, waxing)
• Skin appears compromised or irritated (eczema, bug bites)
• Barrier support and moisture retention are the priority
• Temporary sensitivity, lipid deficiency or seasonal dehydration is present

WHERE EACH PRODUCT FITS WITHIN PROFESSIONAL PROTOCOLS

Whether you're building out a corrective program or focusing on barrier restoration, you'll find that each product has a clear and purposeful role to play in your protocols.

OXYGEN CREAM PAIRINGS

• Chemical Exfoliation: Supports cellular turnover and brightening between in-clinic treatments
• Corrective Protocols: Effective in programs targeting congestion and hyperpigmentation
• Acne-Supportive Home Care: Oxygenates pores without heavy occlusion
• Sensitive Skin Protocols: Its light texture suits most skin types

COMFORT CREAM PAIRINGS

• Barrier-Supportive Protocols: Focused on restoration and moisture retention
• Dry and Mature Skin Programs: Nourishes lipid-deficient skin without overwhelming the barrier
• Seasonal Hydration Protocols: Provides relief during colder, drier months
• Maintenance Regimens: A dependable daily option for clients with ongoing sensitivity

CAN THESE PRODUCTS BE USED TOGETHER?

Absolutely, and in many cases, using both products together is the most beneficial! A client working through a corrective protocol might reach for GlyMed's Oxygen Cream in the morning to brighten and oxygenate, then wind down with the Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera at night to keep the skin calm and supported as it adjusts to actives. You could also mix the two products and apply them together.

This approach is especially useful during transition phases, when active concerns and mild sensitivity present simultaneously.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS OXYGEN CREAM APPROPRIATE IMMEDIATELY AFTER A CHEMICAL PEEL?

Oxygen Cream is designed for stable or corrective use and isn’t an active product, so it can be safely used for immediate post-peel recovery. However, after a peel, the skin barrier is more vulnerable and needs calming support. While Oxygen Cream can help kickstart the recovery process, Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera is better for barrier support until the barrier has stabilized before reintroducing actives.

DOES COMFORT CREAM'S SEMI-OCCLUSIVE BASE MAKE IT UNSUITABLE FOR ACNE-PRONE CLIENTS?

No, Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera is acne-safe and appropriate for most skin types. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a sound option for acne-prone clients also experiencing sensitivity or barrier disruption alongside breakouts.

CAN THESE CREAMS BE INCORPORATED INTO CORRECTIVE SKINCARE PROTOCOLS?

Yes. Oxygen Cream supports corrective protocols targeting acne, hyperpigmentation and dullness. Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera fits post-treatment phases where calming and barrier integrity take priority. Both can be sequenced into a protocol based on your client's progress.

WHICH CREAM IS BETTER FOR MATURE SKIN?

Both are excellent options for mature skin! Oxygen Cream supports brightening via Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and promotes cellular oxygenation and collagen support. If the client also presents with dryness or sensitivity, Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera can be incorporated at night for added nourishment.

WHICH CREAM IS BETTER FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN?

Comfort Cream with Aloe Vera is typically the superior choice for dehydrated skin, since its Aloe Vera base actively soothes and replenishes moisture-depleted skin. For clients experiencing dehydration alongside congestion or dullness, GlyMed's Oxygen Cream can also provide meaningful barrier hydration support.
