Element Eight O₂ Niacinamide

Eight Actives. One Intelligent Serum.

Element Eight O₂ Niacinamide Eight Active Serum is an advanced multitasking face serum designed to visibly improve hydration, clarity, firmness, uneven tone and skin texture.

Why It Is Different

O₂ Niacinamide Eight Active Serum is more than a traditional niacinamide serum.

Niacinamide may be one of skincare’s most familiar ingredients, but the ingredient name alone never tells the entire story. Its concentration, supporting ingredients, delivery system and the balance of the complete formula all influence how it performs on the skin.

Element Eight pairs 8% niacinamide with its globally patented Oxygen Amplified Therapy™. The formula also includes a carefully selected blend of peptides, two forms of hyaluronic acid, resveratrol, carnosine, allantoin, beta-glucan and amino-acid proteins.

Rather than focusing on one isolated concern, this serum approaches the complexion as an interconnected system—supporting hydration, oil balance, barrier resilience, firmness, texture, pores and visible clarity simultaneously.

Its elegant gel texture absorbs quickly without heaviness or residue, making it easy to introduce into nearly any skincare ritual.

How It Works

O₂ Niacinamide Eight Active Serum combines eight complementary active categories within one lightweight, oil-free formula.

• 12% Liquid Oxygen with OATH™ Technology is designed to deliver dissolved molecular oxygen into the skin and support an environment where natural renewal processes and complementary ingredients can perform effectively.
• 8% Niacinamide helps support barrier function, improve moisture retention, balance excess sebum and reduce the appearance of pores, uneven tone and dark spots.
• A Multi-Peptide Complex supports smoother, firmer-looking skin while softening the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles.
• Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate attract and retain moisture for a more supple, plumped appearance.
• Resveratrol and Vitamin E provide antioxidant support and help protect the complexion from environmental stressors.
• Carnosine provides antioxidant and anti-glycation support for skin experiencing visible changes in firmness and elasticity.
• Allantoin and Beta-Glucan help soothe visible redness while supporting hydration and skin comfort.
• Rice Amino Acids and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein help reinforce the skin’s protective barrier and overall resilience.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation

O₂ Niacinamide Eight Active Serum is best suited to someone whose skin is experiencing several concerns at once.

We especially appreciate it for skin that feels dehydrated but still produces excess oil, appears dull while also showing visible dark spots, or needs barrier support without the weight of a rich or occlusive serum.

Use it consistently rather than treating it as an occasional corrective product. Niacinamide supports the skin progressively, and the most meaningful changes in tone, pores, texture and barrier resilience develop through regular use.

One pump is enough for the face and neck. Allow it to settle for approximately 30 seconds before applying moisturizer so the serum can absorb evenly without being immediately diluted by the next layer.

Although the formula is suitable for morning and evening use, sensitive or newly reactive skin may begin once daily before gradually progressing.

The Difference Between Hydration and Oil Balance

• Dehydration describes a lack of water within the skin.
• Oiliness describes the amount of sebum produced by the sebaceous glands.
• Skin can therefore be oily and dehydrated at the same time.
• When dehydrated skin is treated only with aggressive oil-control products, it may become increasingly uncomfortable and unbalanced.
• O₂ Niacinamide Eight Active Serum approaches both concerns together.
• Niacinamide helps visibly balance excess oil and refine the appearance of pores, while glycerin, hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan and panthenol replenish water and support moisture retention.
• The result is not skin that feels stripped or artificially matte. It is skin that appears smoother, fresher and more balanced.
