Liquid Oxygen Skin Cream

New Scientist has flagged a product whose promoters are guilty of making a few misleading claims. It's Neaclear facial cream, and it's advertised as containing a "powerful combination of liquid oxygen, vitamins C & E, sage, chamomile, seaweed and rosemary, coconut oil, sweet almond oil and hydroquinone." The company even boasts that they're the first company "to combine stabilised liquid oxygen into all of its products." New Scientist notes that "We have certainly never heard of a skin cream that contains liquid oxygen, the temperature of which is normally somewhere below -183 °C."

Alex, Alex, Alex. The answer is so simple that I'm surprised you can't see it. The inventors of Neaclear facial cream are using LifeWave patches to allow oxygen to remain liquid at room temperature. Those little adhesive pieces of plastic can do ANYTHING!

I also think they should rename their product "Nuclear facial cream, with liquid oxygen." They would see an explosion in sales.

Since liquid oxygen is usually -183 degrees C, they could even change the name to Cold Fusion facial cream.

For better performance add some liquid titanium from your bracelet. http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/forums/viewthread/139/

All,
Thank you for your comments. Our intention is never to mislead the public since we are an ethical company. We were never contacted by newscientist.com to discuss our products or to answer their questions. We are still awaiting a response from their attorneys for their slanderous comments.

Even though we are a physician-strength skin care company, our claims are significantly less than other cosmeceuticals companies. Please feel free to check out the following web link where you will find the our science page updated:

neaclear products have all undergone rigorous safety, efficacy, stability and hypoallergenicity studies. neaclear is currently conducting numerous randomized, prospective and double-blind clinical trials to further validate our products.

Unfortunately, we cannot discuss with you the oxygenation process. We understand your comments concerning liquid oxygen, and that is why the process took us over 1

If you could put 5% "liquid oxygen" in a skin cream (which, of course, you can't-- not at normal temperatures, anyway), why would it be good for your skin?

My skin is constantly immersed in a mixture containing about 20% gaseous oxygen, and I haven't noticed anything extraordinary happening to it.

Most of the cosmeceutical companies that dominate this industry include Loreal, Neutrogena, Procter & Gamble etc. Please feel free to check out their claims. Physician-strength companies like Obagi, Laroche Posay, Skinceuticals and neaclear are redefining this industry with their data.


We do not lay claim to originating this term, but it has been around for a while and is commonly used. I googled the term cosmeceutical and hope you might find the time to check the results at the following link:

Have a nice day and please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you or we as a company can do better.

Best Regards,

Pete
