Twice as strong as our original Oxygen Rich Gel, our Super Charged version is excellent for fighting acne. This product is our replacement for Benzoyl Peroxide. Here at Garden of Wisdom, we are genuinely opposed to Benzoyl Peroxide. Our research shows that benzoyl peroxide, although it helps kill bacteria and fight acne, ages the skin tremendously over time. Eventually, Benzoyl Peroxide stops working long-term altogether. We have learned that Benzoyl Peroxide is unstable, causing free radicals, while stabilized oxygen has the ability to fight the free radicals our skin is subjected to.
We do not believe all oxygen products are created equal. For those fighting acne, we feel they are lacking healthy oxygen to fight the bacteria. Typically, if not always, acneic skin is acidic, so adding healthy oxygen (alkaline) will fight this condition without causing aging.
This product does NOT bleach the skin.
Sodium Chloride (Salt) is added to Water to increase electrical conductivity, facilitate the manufacturing process that separates the oxygen molecules from the H2O, and stabilizes the oxygen in the water. (this is a proprietary process from our supplier to achieve this) The end result is a highly stabilized oxygen that is far different than the original ingredients and very, very low in sodium and chloride.
Method of Application
This Super Charged Oxygen Rich 15% Gel can and should be applied twice per day after cleansing and before continuing your routine. This allows the oxygen to feed the skin and control the acne bacteria. Proceed once your skin has dried.
Apply a few drops of this serum on your clean finger tips, and smooth it across clean skin. Use during the water soluble phase of your skin routine (after you cleanse, tone, and exfoliate, but before you apply any oils or creams).
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Effective as a spot treatment. I may have overused it when I first got it (all over my face, twice a day), which might have been a bit irritating. But now I use it as a spot treatment if I feel any spots that might be headed toward a bit or blemish. And in the morning, those spots definitely feel dryer and less angry.
Hi Caroline ✋😃
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Oxygen Rich Super Charged 15% Gel. Honestly, I would have done the same thing by using it over my entire face and probably my neck, just for good measure. •ᴗ•
Receiving positive reviews always make us smile over here. Spot treatment is a perfect way to explain the use of this product.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Fantastic Product for Healing Blemishes Fast!
This gel is truly wonderful for getting rid of blemishes super quickly. It can be a tad drying if over-used, but it has not caused redness or irritation. It works so much better than any of the numerous prescription and over-the-counter acne creams and gels I have tried over the years. I will gladly trade a touch of dryness for a day or two versus an eruption of pimples. When I just use a tiny bit, it stops the pimple in its tracks and has also faded post-acne marks very well. I am also grateful that it is a safer and more effective alternative to benzoyl peroxide and will not bleach my pillowcases or towels like benzoyl peroxide has in the past. I also trust it is safe for my skin in the long-term. This company is amazing, especially if you have sensitive and finnicky skin like me.

The only thing that’s worked in my 5 year struggle with Acne
I’ve been struggling with severe comedonal and hormonal acne for nearly 5 years and this is the first product I’ve tried that’s actually healed my skin! I’ve tried major brands like clearstem and primally pure and yet they come nowhere close to what this serum can do. I will be purchasing for the rest of my life! Thank you Garden of Wisdom, I am forever grateful!
Wow! This absolutely made our day! We’re beyond happy to hear that the Oxygen Rich Gel has been a game-changer in your skincare journey! Hearing that it’s helped where so many other products haven’t is exactly why we do what we do. Thank YOU for trusting us with your skin.
We’re so grateful to have you as part of the GOW family!

There is nothing like this product to quickly get rid of a blemish. I’ve used this for years, along with my (now) grown kids. We all love it! I also use it post lip wax and no more little pimples.
We very much appreciate you taking the time to review this product! Thank you!

So far my skin likes this after spritzing with hydrosol. Then I mix a little with sweet almond oil to help seal it in. It doesn't clog my pores or make me break out like other products. Thank you!
I just tried the Pomegranate Super Fruit Hydrating Mist. Great scent. Great hydration for use throughout the day.

Unclogs pores and smooths bumps
This product has unclogged my pores and smoothed the bumps on my cheeks. I have very sensitive skin and this did not irritate my face. It does not work overnight, you need to stick with it for a while but it worked for me!

Superb for Soothing Sunburns
Love this. So simple but effective. I use it daily on my face as it soothes my sensitive skin. Whenever anyone in our family has had too much sun or a sunburn, we use this - it's incredibly soothing and hydrating. Even my picky kiddos happily put it on sun-parched skin.

Work horse in my skin care routine
Work horse in my skin care routine. Have used for years. I spray a few sprays after cleansing on my face, neck, and chest, then use the extra moisture it provides to spread my serum. Resets the ph of my skin, makes everything feel more comfortable, and cost effective. Love it.

The skin under my eyes is very sensitive and there are not too many products I can tolerate, but this has never bothered me at all. I keep it in the fridge and it's soothing and moisturizing, and does help somewhat with puffiness.
Thank you for your kind words, Tracey
