DISCLAIMER: This product was sent to me for review by Dr. Brandt. Please know that in any event of a product being sent for testing/review purposes, I will always give my 100% honest opinion and experience every time.

I received a sample of the Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant from an Ipsy Glambag I hadn't tried yet, so I thought I'd give that a go prior to using the mask. If you've been following my Snapchat (betablinx85), you've already seen my first impressions of both Dr. Brandt skincare products, but I've gone ahead and added a couple of Snaps below for those who missed out.
Their Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant is amazing and I highly suggest testing it out at your local Sephora or Ulta Beauty next time you're in there, along with the mask I'm reviewing today.

For both sanitary reasons and convenience, I really enjoy the fact that the Dr. Brandt Oxygen Facial has a securely fastened pump. As we all know, masks can get messy very quickly and this really helps control the issues that typical face masks in a jar format simply can't. I believe the product integrity and its results to also be consistent throughout the life of the product because of it. Air won't have a chance to seep into the product and disrupt anything chemically, so you can rest assured that the last pump will consistently work just as the first. This also helps you use a consistent amount each time you use it which is great for both rationing and monitoring results.
Essentially, you'll be getting your money's worth 'till the last drop, which is comforting to know. I think I can speak for all of us when I say how frustrating it is to invest in a costly face mask that we love to only have it go off before we can use up the whole thing.
So if you're anything like me, the $70 price tag may leave you dreaming of all the makeup you could purchase with that money instead. The truth is that no matter how many concealers, correctors and brighteners you have, your makeup will only look as good as the skin you wear underneath. I'm a firm believer that paying a little extra for quality skincare really does make a huge difference in your overall satisfaction with both product and results, but is this mask really worth it?
Upon looking at product claims on the box, I was highly skeptical because it just sounds too good to be true. I've been using the mask for about 2 weeks now and to my surprise I have noticed some pretty great results! Here's what I've found:
While using Dr. Brandt's Oxygen Facial the first time, after getting over the intense tickling sensation the bubbles create, I immediately noticed a light flushed color of health coming back to my face. The oxygenated foam bubbles really help clear pores and lift away any impurities that you may have missed during cleansing or exfoliating. My skin was left brighter, even toned, and cleaner without feeling stripped away of moisture. I was a happy girl, but still not fully convinced that I'd achieve results like the ones listed on the packaging after just a couple of weeks.

Over the course of these past 2 weeks I've noticed the same results mentioned above, but also that my additional skincare products have really been able to function more efficiently because I've provided my skin with a clean base to work off of. I'm happy to report that my skin is has made some pretty incredible strides! I've noticed increased hydration, not so much directly from the face mask, but more so due to my skin being properly available to soak in all benefits available from my skincare regime. My facial serums and moisturizers are now able to better penetrate the surface layer of skin and do some work where it counts.
I've also noticed that the Oxygen Facial mask works at its best when you've used a quality face exfoliator beforehand. Again, it's all about the steps you take to prep your skin for the products you're using. Exfoliating your face prior to use allows for any additional skincare to really be able to do more for you. I personally only exfoliate 2-3 times a week and have recently been using the mask twice a day every other day.
I believe the mask to be a really quick skin pick-me-up when you're in a rush, but over the course of using this product more frequently, my skin seems to be getting much better particularly in looking clean, lively, and gaining that inner healthy glow back that I honestly didn't even know I was missing! It really does get better the more you use this product, so I'm excited to see where my skin will be after using it even longer.
Here are a few Snapchat videos documenting my first experience:

Here are a few Snapchat videos documenting my first experience:
As you may already know, I struggle with keeping my skin happy, calm, hydrated, and blemish free. Within these past couple of weeks, any time I've felt an irritated blemish come on, I've reached for this mask and literally within 15 minutes after use, inflammation and redness reduced significantly. If I'm really lucky, the blemish will have calmed down by morning and we can all act like nothing ever happened after a little color correction.
So far, I'm genuinely impressed with the changes I've experienced. I'll be honest and say that the $70 price tag does still make me shy away a bit, but if all continues to go well, something tells me I may just love this face mask enough to repurchase.
