I’ve been using the Element Eight O2 Squalane Protect Cream, and I’m honestly impressed with how well it works. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this cream has become a staple in my routine. The texture is lightweight yet super hydrating, which is perfect for my skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, but my skin still feels deeply moisturized throughout the day. The squalane makes my skin feel extra soft and smooth, while the oxygen infusion gives it a fresh, healthy glow. What really stood out to me is the protection factor—it creates a barrier against environmental stressors, and I’ve noticed my skin looking more even and less irritated since using it. I also love that it layers well under makeup without pilling. Overall, this cream feels luxurious yet effective, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for hydration, protection, and a little glow boost all in one product!

This has a rich, comforting texture that feels instantly soothing on my skin. It’s deeply hydrating without feeling too heavy, and I love how it helps calm redness and irritation, especially during colder months when my skin tends to be more sensitive. The formula absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling soft, nourished, and protected. It works well under makeup, and I appreciate that it doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky finish. If you’re looking for a barrier-repairing cream that locks in moisture while keeping skin balanced, this one is a great option!
This product has done wonders for my skin during the harsh Ohio winter wind and weather! I love the design of the bottle and how heavy it is. The bottle is made of glass and you can buy refills for it. I love how eco friendly that makes this product. The feeling of softness and moisturized it leaves my skin feeling is like no other! I love that it also does not overwhelm or make my skin greasy or feel slimy like some moisturizer can do. The smell is very light and not over powering. This product is genuinely a high quality product and I am so happy that I have been given the chance to try it out! My wife also tried it out and she has even dried skin than I do and it worked wonders for her as well! Some products are long term must haves and this is definitely one of them!
I love this cream for reducing redness because my skin is just prone to it. I use it after retinol at night and after vitamin C in the morning, and it helps calm my skin and provide a protective barrier. After a week of use, I noticed my skin looked more even-toned, and the redness wasn’t as intense throughout the day. It layers well with my other skincare products, doesn’t pill under SPF, and feels comforting on the skin. The formula includes squalane for moisture, bisabolol and allantoin for soothing, and I really appreciate the thoughtful ingredient list. Squalane is one of my favorite skincare ingredients, it’s amazing for locking in hydration without clogging pores, and it does help keep my skin feeling balanced and nourished. After using this cream for several weeks, I can say it’s made a noticeable difference in my skin's overall health and appearance. Also, the packaging is amazing, the bottle is so sleek and well-designed! I love when skincare products not only work but also feel aesthetically pleasing to use.
I seriously cannot say enough good things about this amazing moisturizer! It is so different than any facial moisturizer I have ever used. Element eight is all about delivering oxygen to your skin. You can seriously feel the difference after the first use! The texture of this moisturizer is super creamy and rich but it dissolves quickly into the skin. It really leaves my skin feeling extra hydrated even after using harsh products like tretinoin. This product is great for repairing my skin barrier when my skin feels irritated. After using the O2 Squalene moisturizer my skin immediately felt bouncier and softer. My skin actually felt so soft that I kept wanting to touch my face during the day. I will be so sad when I run out of this product due to the luxury price. I am considering repurchasing though because it seriously is that worth it.
I have bad news… I fear that this cream is phenomenal. I’ve tested this for the past month and I truly feel like my skin has healed much faster with it. I’m 32 and struggle with hormonal acne, combo leaning dry skin. Prior to getting this in the mail, I had what remained from a deep pimple that was probably a quarter inch long. Within day two of using this Element Eight cream, the spot was much further down the track of healing. While the texture looks and feels on the thicker side, my skin drinks it up and it doesn’t make me feel like I’m drowning or going to make my pillow disgusting. After at least 30 days of use, I still feel like there is a lot of cream remaining in the container (50ml size). The packaging is stunning feels so luxurious. That said, I have two cons. 1st obviously the price is a luxury, and if you have a moisturizer that already works for you - it’s not a need. 2nd the pump feels like it’s too short - when I pump it the product ends up on the rim (not a lot, but definitely not ideal) and it feels wasteful for the price.
I have very sensitive skin and have tried more moisturizers than I can count, but this stuff really works to calm it down! It ran out incredibly quickly (which I was surprised by given the size of the bottle). I actually pulled the inside of it out to see if I could salvage any extra product and was shocked to see how little product there was inside the large and heavy glass bottle. So my conclusion is - find a way to get this on sale because it's really not affordable or to buy this as your go-to moisturizer at this price point. Obviously I read the description on the website that it's 0.5 fl oz, but with the bottle as large as they make it (and making it out of glass), it felt deceptive to me that I got so little product for the hefty price tag. What you see in the photo: - On the far right is the product as it comes - large bottle, glass (heavy), and conveniently the fl oz not even on the front of the product (it's on the back) - In the middle is what is ACTUALLY inside the product - it is a tiny bag of product (0.5 fl oz) - For reference - on the right is a product that is 1.0 fl oz that has no deceptively large packaging. The Mario Badescu product on the right is TWICE the amount of product you get for this price!
’ve been using Element Eight O2 Squalane Face Cream and it’s become a staple in my routine. It feels super light on the skin but still gives lasting hydration, thanks to the squalane. What really makes it stand out is the oxygen infusion—it gives my skin a fresh, healthy glow. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel greasy, and leaves my face feeling smooth and calm. Perfect for everyday use, especially if you want something clean, effective, and a little luxurious.
As a beauty insider, I love trying new products and finding the best products for my skin. This is the first time I tried something from the Element Eight brand. My skin has been so sensitive lately, reacting to everything from stress to changes in the weather. It is dry, red, and just unhappy. I tried many products, including serums and moisturizers, but nothing seemed to calm my skin down until I tried this cream. The texture is lovely and absorbs quickly into my skin. It soothed my irritated skin. My redness looked better after just a few uses, and my skin felt more hydrated and supple. I was a bit skeptical about the "liquid oxygen" claim at first, but I have to admit, my skin does seem healthier and softer. It is plumper and more resilient. Also, it is vegan and cruelty-free. I am using it in my routine since I received it. It is gentle for my sensitive skin, and I've seen great results. I am so glad I found something that finally works.
I’ve been using the Repair Squalane Cream by Element Eight for about four weeks and it’s been an impressive addition to my skincare routine: the texture is incredibly rich yet absorbs well. It doesn’t leave that heavy, greasy feeling some deep-repair creams tend to have, which makes it perfect for both day and night use. One thing I immediately noticed is how nourishing it feels. My skin tends to get dry in certain areas, especially during colder months, but this cream delivers lasting hydration. The squalane does an amazing job of locking in moisture. It is definitely one of those creams where you wake up with your skin feeling plump and refreshed.
