It is a way to increase oxygen content in the skin without injections or going into a chamber.
They also contribute to the firmness and suppleness of the skin and theyhelp to lock in moisture.

I expect to see better formulations that emphasize tolerability while still maintaining efficacy, he tells Bustle.
