…side effects, that is.
I was sent a tube of Prai’s new o2 Infusion last month which is described as an “innovative formula (which) contains oxygen molecules to help deliver additional oxygen to the surface of the skin, giving lackluster skin a more youthful and a refreshed look”.
I’m in two minds about this product.
For me, it does what it says on the tin. After using it just one time, my skin did look brighter… the tone seemed more even and gave an impression of (dareisayit) outright perkiness!
But the next day? My skin was ALL kinds of flakey.
So, I brought my ever-faithful, heavy duty skin oils into play and a week later my skin was back to normal.
Being me though, I couldn’t help but eye up this lovely, neat tube of product every time I stood at the sink washing my face and it wasn’t long before I was slathering it over my skin again, watching it get foamier and foamier as I waited the requisite 2 minutes before rinsing it off.
“Oooh, nice fresh looking skin again!”
Until the next day, when I was back to square one and looking more Mumm-Ra than Yummy-Mummy. My foundation looked like crap and I was moisturising 3 times a day just to try and inject some life back into my skin.
Third time’s a charm right? Wrong.
I feel like this…
I experience no sensitivity when using it and no dryness issues immediately afterward. I moisturise straight after use and in fairness, I suffer from normal/dry skin anyway.
So what do I do… do I recommend?
Well… at under £20 for 40ml it doesn’t break the bank (and a little goes a VERY long way thanks to the foaming action), so I’m happy to recommend under one condition; you have oily skin.

If you have a propensity toward dry skin? I would stay away as I think this might just be a tad too harsh for our sensitive souls.
Prai o2 Infusion with Vacuum Technology should be launching on QVC this month, priced at £19.75
