Element Eight O₂ Growth Factor

The Oxygen-Infused Moisturizer for Firmer, More Resilient Skin

O₂ Growth Factor Eight Active Cream is a deeply nourishing, multitasking moisturizer designed to visibly plump, smooth and firm the complexion while supporting lasting hydration and skin-barrier comfort.

Its rich, cushiony texture melts elegantly into the skin, uniting Element Eight’s patented liquid oxygen technology with a 1% Penta-Growth Factor Complex, peptides, ceramides, squalane and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid. Skin feels replenished and supple, with a smoother texture and a fresh, luminous appearance.

Why It Is Different

O₂ Growth Factor Eight Active Cream is more than a traditional moisturizer.

Its formula combines two biomimetic technologies: Element Eight’s patented OATH™ Oxygen Amplified Therapy and a 1% Penta-Growth Factor Complex featuring five synthesized growth-factor technologies.

The growth-factor complex is designed to echo the skin’s natural signalling processes, while liquid oxygen supports the environment in which the formula’s high-performance ingredients work. Peptides, ceramides, squalane and hyaluronic acid then provide complementary firming, smoothing, replenishing and barrier-supportive care.

The cream’s naturally golden colour comes from antioxidant-rich sea buckthorn oil. Although indulgently nourishing, its cushiony texture absorbs with refinement and leaves the complexion comfortable rather than excessively heavy.

How It Works

O₂ Growth Factor Eight Active Cream combines oxygen technology, biomimetic growth factors and replenishing lipids to address several visible skin concerns within one daily step.

• OATH™ Oxygen Amplified Therapy infuses the formula with liquid oxygen and is designed to support skin vitality, microcirculation and the visible performance of complementary actives.
• The 1% Penta-Growth Factor Complex combines five synthesized growth factors that help support the skin’s natural renewal environment and improve the appearance of firmness, elasticity and resilience.
• A Peptide Complex complements the growth factors by helping visibly smooth fine lines and support firmer-looking skin.
• The 3% Ceramide Complex replenishes essential barrier lipids, helping reduce moisture loss and maintain comfort.
• 2% Sea Buckthorn Oil provides omega fatty acids and antioxidant support while contributing to the cream’s naturally golden colour.
• Squalane, jojoba, evening primrose and rosehip oils nourish the complexion and help maintain softness and suppleness.
• Hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate and tremella polysaccharide help attract and retain moisture for a visibly plumper appearance.

How to Use

1. Morning and evening, apply O₂ Growth Factor Eight Active Cream after cleansing, essence and treatment serum.
2. Dispense one pump—approximately 0.5 ml—and smooth it over the face and neck.
3. Massage gently using outward and upward movements until absorbed.
4. Allow approximately 30 seconds before applying eye cream, sunscreen or makeup.
5. Finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

Complete Element Eight Eight Active Ritual

1. Cleanse the face and neck, then gently pat the skin dry.
2. Mist O₂ Exosome Eight Active Essence over the complexion and allow it to absorb.
3. Apply one pump of O₂ Niacinamide Eight Active Serum to the face and neck.
4. Allow approximately 30 seconds for absorption.
5. Follow with one pump of O₂ Growth Factor Eight Active Cream.
6. Apply O₂ Caffeine Eight Active Eye Cream around the under-eye, brow and outer-corner areas.
7. Finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation

O₂ Growth Factor Eight Active Cream is especially well suited to skin that feels both dehydrated and visibly less resilient.

Rather than addressing hydration, firmness and barrier comfort with several separate creams, this formula brings those priorities together in one sophisticated finishing step. Use it consistently morning and evening for the most complete experience.

For a comprehensive daily ritual, apply it after O₂ Niacinamide Eight Active Serum. The serum focuses on clarity, tone, hydration balance and visible pores, while O₂ Growth Factor Eight Active Cream surrounds the complexion with replenishing lipids, growth factors and peptides.

It can also be used after O₂ Vitamin C Brighten & Defend Serum in the morning or after O₂ Retinol Resurface & Refine Serum on the evenings when retinol is used.

One pump is generally sufficient for the face and neck. If your complexion is particularly dry, press the cream gently into the skin rather than applying a heavier layer.

The Difference Between Growth Factors and Peptides

• Growth factors and peptides both act as skin-supportive signalling ingredients, but they are not identical.
• Growth factors are specialized proteins or polypeptides designed to echo signals associated with renewal, firmness and resilience.
• Peptides are shorter chains of amino acids selected for more targeted functions, such as visibly smoothing expression lines or supporting firmer-looking skin.
• O₂ Growth Factor Eight Active Cream combines five synthesized growth-factor technologies with a separate peptide complex.
• The growth factors provide broad support for the skin’s visible renewal environment, while the peptides complement them with targeted smoothing and firming care.
• This layered approach is what makes the cream more comprehensive than a conventional peptide moisturizer.

Ingredients

• 12% Patented Liquid Oxygen: Element Eight’s OATH™ technology is designed to replenish oxygen topically and support skin vitality, microcirculation and active performance.
• 1% Penta-Growth Factor Complex: Five synthesized growth-factor technologies help support visible renewal, elasticity, firmness and resilience.
• 3% Ceramide Complex: Ceramides NP, NS, AP, EOP and EOS help replenish the lipid structure of the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss.
• 2% Sea Buckthorn Oil: Rich in omega fatty acids and naturally occurring antioxidants, it nourishes the skin and gives the cream its golden colour.
• Peptide Complex: Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 and Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 help support smoother, firmer-looking skin.
• Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate help attract moisture and visibly plump the complexion.
• Tremella Polysaccharide and Trehalose: Humectant ingredients that help maintain hydration, softness and comfort.
• Squalane: Helps reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier and improve suppleness without an excessively heavy finish.
• Jojoba, Evening Primrose and Rosehip Oils: Replenishing botanical oils that help nourish dry or depleted-looking skin.
• Vitamin E: Provides antioxidant support and helps condition the complexion.
• Chlorella Ferment, Hibiscus, Pomegranate and Angelica Extracts: Support the formula’s conditioning and antioxidant benefits.
