Heathy Skin with Oxygen Infusion Facial at Murad

by Jia Shin Lee - July 05, 2022

Hi loves, I hope everyone is fine lately, I recently got to experience The Oxygen Infusion Facial at Murad flagship store in Sunway Pyramid after a friend recommended me and I loved the Murad facial so much I'll be sharing my Murad facial review in this post.

If you’ve been suffering from tired-looking and dull, puffy skin like I frequently do, getting a facial at Murad flagship store is gonna be such a life-saver! After getting myself registered, I was recommended by my therapist of the day to go for the Oxygen Infusion Treatment which is a rejuvenating treatment designed for aging skin, during the treatment it uses a high concentration of oxygen therapy with CS serum that contains Aqua Guard and hydrating complex to provide long-lasting hydration.

As we may already know oxygen is important but how can it help our skin? The therapist explains that infusing oxygen and serum on your skin aids in activating cell activity which will help improve the hydration, appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, brighten our skin, accelerates blood circulation and collagen synthesis to give us healthy, nourished skin.

We started off with inhalation of lavender essential oil to loosen up, this step was love because it helps to calm our mind & body and get us ready for a pampering session, the next steps were the basics like cleansing & exfoliation, steaming, and extraction to remove all the impurities so our skin will look much smoother and brighter.

Following was the process of using the oxygen infusion machine to penetrate oxygen and serum into my skin, it felt a lil uncomfortable especially when the gust of water was sprayed onto my skin, I guess the therapist felt it and started comforting me. Once this part was done, a cream mask was applied and she gave me a good shoulder massage.

Once we were done with the facial, we also took a facial analysis scan which helped me identify my problems and Murad shared ways to tackle them. Apparently, as I age, fine lines are starting to appear and my biggest enemy will always be the pigmentations, I've got tons of it which is why I've been a big fan of Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum, it really helps reduce the pigments on my skin.

To sum it up, the facial was superb because it was very well equipped with the necessary machines and devices to provide top-notch facial service. You can see how my skin looks revitalized. If you’re looking for a facial, highly recommend this for those of you who need a bit of skin revitalizing to bring that glow back.

The first time I applied the Murad Replenishing Multi-Acid Peel onto my skin, I immediately felt a tingling sensation that lasted only a few seconds, I notice the formula was very gentle on the skin also it had that sensation and did not cause me any type of irritation like redness on my skin.

After a week of using it, my skin got pretty much used to it and the tingling sensation was gone by then. Slowly I could see my skin texture improved, the pore size has shrunk and my skin goes back to its glowy self.

After a peel, our skin might get sensitive so it's always a good idea to stay out of the sun, put on sufficient sunblock and make sure our skin is hydrated, using the Murad Nutrient-Charged Water Gel was a brilliant idea, it really keeps my skin moisturized and hydrated instant without leaving a sticky after-feel to my skin.

The theory is our skin has a balanced collection of bacteria constant use of anti-bacterial products and harsh cleanser not only destroys bad bacteria but also the good ones that are maintaining our skin's natural bacterial ecosystem. This makes your skin stressed and dry, causing skin issues like breakouts, eczema, and many more to help solve this problem, Murad Malaysia launched its latest invention, the Prebiotic Series, it consists of 3 products, Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist, Murad’s Prebiotic 4-in-1 MultiCleanser and Murad’s Night Fix Enzyme Treatment.

The latest innovation was announced at the launch by Director of Deacon Medical Sdn Bhd Mr. Jason Choy, International Marketing Manager Kathy Tran and ASIA PAC Sales and Education Manager Katy Bacon. During his opening note, Mr. Choy spoke on the potential of the beauty industry in Malaysia. “Malaysian women today are much more empowered and better informed than they have ever been. They understand what’s good for their skin and are more selective of the products they use. “Thus, products like Murad that take all these into account have over the years successfully created skincare solutions that fit their ideals and beliefs,” said Choy.

#1 Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist

This hydrating face mist helps nourish the skin with prebiotics to achieve a balanced microbiome, it eliminates dehydration and dullness, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles and acts as a priming and makeup setting agent.

Packed with 3 key ingredients: prebiotic hydrating sugars that help to reinforce and boost skin’s natural hydration reserves for a smooth, healthy barrier, while the yeast peptide aids in locking in skin’s natural moisture levels to promote healthy, hydrated skin, which, in turn, supports an ideal environment for a healthy microbiome.

MultiMist can be misted onto the skin either after cleansing/under makeup to prime or after makeup to set. It can also be used to refresh anytime, delivering hydration throughout the day.

#2 Prebiotic 4-in-1 Multicleanser is a gel-to-oil makeup removing cleanser that's non-drying, it helps balance the skin’s microbiome by nourishing it with prebiotics to promote healthier-looking skin.

Cyclic peptid, is a unique cleansing peptide that is 300 times more efficient than traditional surfactants that cleanses without causing irritation. It helps trap oil and debris, and allow it to be easily rinsed from skin without stripping natural facial oils. The presence of prebiotic powder nourishes good bacteria to promote a healthy balance, while hyaluronic acid and prebiotic hydrating sugars act as softening and smoothing agents they reinforce skin’s natural hydration.

This cleanser can be applied directly to dry skin and massage thoroughly over face and eyes. Continue massaging the product into the skin with wet hands to create a light, milky emulsion. Your skin will instantly and noticeably look healthy and feels soft to the touch.

#3 Murad Night Fix Enzyme Treatment

Murad raises the bar with Night Fix Enzyme Treatment that encourages the skin to repair itself overnight. As the recent study also found that the skin loses water three times faster at night, Murad incorporated ingredients that can help skin retain water, prevent overnight skin dehydration, while supporting natural repair. As a result, you will notice visibly minimized fine lines, a generous boost of hydration and a more radiant-looking complexion.

This outstanding innovation consists of ingredients that act as an enhancement and customization to your current regimen (Murad’s traditional 3-step process). The chronopeptide treatment found in the formula syncs up with the body’s circadian rhythm to support natural repair and lends vibrancy to your skin. While the tri-enzyme formula is made of purified red and green microalgae, forming three encapsulated enzymes that provide potent antioxidant protection and detoxification to reduce visible signs of premature aging such as loss of elasticity, lines, and wrinkles.

Finally, its patent-pending aroma technology that combines the science of sleep with the power of scent has been shown in clinical trials to have the benefit of enhancing sleep quality. The aroma technology prepares the mind and senses for deep, restful sleep resulting in healthier-looking skin by the time you wake up in the morning.

It features ingredients designed to keep you in a rested state such as violet, which is delicate, soothing and brings comfort to the mind; Cedarwood which exudes earthy aroma that helps elevate mood, relax and overcome stress; And lemon which purifies and cleanses, and helping lift the day’s tension to invite positive energy.
