OC Eight is a revolutionary product that offers patients control over their facial shine.
It works continuously for up to 8 hours absorbing excess oil. The results? Even-toned, true matte skin for that just-applied look throughout the day.
OC Eight contains ACRYSORB® micro-particles that are specially designed with copolymer technology and work to permanently trap up to 6X their own volume in oil.
It traps facial oil mechanically on the skin’s surface. The oil remains locked away, invisible to the naked eye, without compromising your skin’s natural moisture.
Using heavy powders or creams to absorb the excess oil on your skin can give you matte skin, but covers the natural beauty of your skin. OC Eight allows you to shine, without looking shiny.
Most women notice facial shine in the T-zone (forehead, around the nose, and chin). This area contains the greatest concentration of sebaceous glands, which are the skin’s oil producers.
Facial shine magnifies the appearance of facial redness and other minor blemishes. This can be frustrating for women with acne or rosacea. OC Eight keeps shine away, giving your skin a more even, flawless look. OC Eight works mechanically, not chemically, to absorb oil, so even sensitive skin types can have True Matte skin.
How do the ACRYSORB® micro-particles in OC Eight work?
ACRYSORB® is designed to mechanically "trap" facial oil after it comes out of your pores. OC Eight works on contact so it traps oil as fast as it is produced, giving you continuous shine control throughout the day.
How do I apply OC Eight for the best results?
Simply wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Apply your daily sunscreen and any medications. When your face is dry to the touch apply a thin layer of OC Eight Mattifying Gel. Finish by applying oil-free make-up as desired
How will OC Eight effect my make-up?
In a clinical study OC Eight was proven to help make-up maintain that "just applied" look for up to eight hours. By applying OC Eight prior to your facial foundations or powders you will have a more even-toned look through the day.
After I start using OC Eight when will I notice results?
OC Eight goes to work immediately! You will notice a difference the very first time you try OC Eight.
I have "combination skin." Will OC Eight control facial shine without drying my skin?
Yes. The ACRYSORB® micro-particles in OC Eight are specifically designed to absorb the excess oil from your face. OC Eight will not compromise your skin's natural hydration.
Will OC Eight clog my pores?
No! In fact, in a clinical study where women applied OC Eight daily for four weeks, there was a trend towards fewer blackheads.
Is OC Eight safe to use if I have acne or rosacea?
Yes! In fact, OC Eight has been proven to help reduce the appearance of redness and minor blemishes associated with adult acne/rosacea. OC Eight does not contain an active ingredient so it will not interfere with any topical medications.
Does OC Eight have a sunscreen in it?
Although OC Eight is not formulated with a sunscreen it will not affect the SPF factor in your daily sunscreen.
Can I wear a moisturizer with OC Eight?
Yes. We recommend applying a water-based moisturizer with a minimum of SPF 15 before applying OC Eight during your daily skincare routine.
What happens if I wash my face during the day, is OC Eight waterproof?
OC Eight is not waterproof. As soon as you wash your face, the micro-particles containing the absorbed oil are washed away. Feel free to reapply OC Eight after washing your face during the day or night.
Can I wear OC Eight when I exercise?
Yes. And although OC Eight has no effect on perspiration it will help reduce that "greasy" feeling once you are done working out.
I have dry skin, would I be able to wear OC Eight to achieve a matte finish on my face?
OC Eight, although designed to control excess facial shine, can be used by anyone to create a great matte finish and beautifully clear skin. Because OC Eight will not chemically dry your skin, OC Eight works where you need it to, not where you don't.
