So, summer is here with all its power. The weather is hellishly sweaty and full of discomfort. In the past two weeks, all I wished for is a facial day.
But, thanks to my work life & office, I could not make it happen. So, I decided to become a facialist of my own for a day.
I straight bought the O3+ Professional Sea White Facial Kit online. It is actually a single-use kit with a peel-off mask.
Undoubtedly, it is a popular facial kit and indeed, one of the best facial kits out there. But, is it all about popularity? Did it work for my oily and sensitive skin? How unique the ingredients are? Well! It’s time to share my experience with all of you.
Price: INR 455 for one kit
Skin Type: Normal to Oily
Buy From: Amazon
O3+ Professional Sea White Facial Kit is a treat to all the beauties with oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. It gives you a beautiful glow and bright skin. The power of glycolic acid, seaweed and other botanical extracts help to pull off all the tiredness and dullness beneath the layers of your skin.
The kit comes with 4 basic steps or components. Here they are.
The best part is that the brand has disclosed all the ingredients of all the components in spite of the fact that this product has been made for salons only. Honestly, not many brands have the courage to come forward. I simply loved it.
But, how safe and effective the ingredients are? Well! Let’s take a look at the ingredient analysis of the O3+ Professional Brightening Facial Kit.
Aqua (water), Glycerol (a humectant that retains moisture), Lauryl Glucoside (a mild and safe surfactant), Glycolic Acid (a colourless AHA derived from Sugarcane works as a chemical exfoliant), Allantoin (softens skin and helps to shed off dead skin cells), Disodium EDTA (a moderately safe chelating agent that reduces the reactivity of metal ions).
Aqua (water), Glycerine (a natural humectant), Tocopheryl Acetate (actually vitamin E that works as an antioxidant), Allantoin (softens skin and helps to shed off dead skin cells), Panthenol (basically Provitamin B5 that works as an emulsifier), Stearic Acid (works as a skin conditioning agent), Liquid Light Paraffin (prevents moisture loss and helps to soften skin), Bisabolol (a safe scent ingredient derived from Chamomile), Xanthan Gum (works as a binder in cosmetics), Phenoxyethanol (moderately safe fragrance agent), Perfume (definitely an unnecessary component).
Aqua (water), Glyceryl Monostearate (a safe fragrance ingredient that also works as a skin-conditioning agent), Isopropyl Myristate (works as a binder), Dimethicone (a moderately safe skin conditioning agent), Glycerine (humectant), Seaweed Extract (improves skin tone and pigmentation), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (an amazing natural herb that helps to make skin soft & bright), Vitamin E Acetate (antioxidant and skin conditioning agent), Perfume.
Zea Mays Corn Starch (soothes out itchy and problematic skin), Algin Powder (a gelling agent that thickens formulas by providing a spreadable texture), Calcium Sulfate (helps to clean and provides with a shine), Glucose (works as a skin-conditioning agent), Magnesium Carbonate (improves skin’s appearance), Hydrolyzed Collagen (improves elasticity and makes skin hydrated), Elastin (a fibrous protein that maintains the elasticity of the skin), Panax Ginseng Root Extract (a potent antioxidant that improves blood circulation), Disodium Phosphate (works as a buffer), Algae Extract (revitalizes the skin texture and heals acne), Fragrance.
And, that’s all! I must say that the brand has done quite an impressive job in formulating the products. Most of the ingredients are chosen properly. I love how mild the face wash is. And, last but not the least, the peel-off mask has some amazing ingredients for sure.
The only negative point is the inclusion of fragrance. It is not only unnecessary but also the name of the fragrance is not mentioned here.
Altogether, it deserves a rating of 4.5 out of 5 for the transparency and the selection of ingredients.
The facial kit has been made for single use only. Thus, the components come in plastic sachets. And, the peel-off mask comes in a pouch.
Well! If you want, you can close the pouch with a rubber band to use later.
Apply the O3+ Glycolic Acid Wash on your wet face and start massaging in a circular motion. Do this step for 2-3 minutes for the best result. Wash off with cold water after that.
The face wash feels quite calm on the skin. It gives an instant refreshing feel. My skin is quite sensitive and acne-prone. I did not feel any irritation during this procedure.
Next is the application of the O3+ Micro Derma Brasion Facial Peel. It feels quite creamy.
The scrub particles are tiny enough to not sensitize your skin.
After spreading all over my face and neck, I started massaging it gently. It literally took away all the dead cells and flakes.
I did the massaging for 3 minutes straight. After that, I wiped off everything with a wet towel.
Now, it’s time for the O3+ Seaweed Massage Cream. The blueish massage cream felt quite soothing. It instantly elevated my mood and made my skin relaxed.
I massaged the cream all over my face and neck straight for 10 minutes. Honestly, this step feels the best if you can ask someone else to do the massaging.
And now, it’s time for the final step. Mix the mask powder in half cup water (approximately, 50-60ml water). Apply the fine paste onto your face and leave it intact for at least 10 minutes.
The paste becomes quite gluey within minutes. So, apply it quickly. The quantity is enough for four people!
Guess what! The best part is the removal of the peel-off mask. It comes out quite easily.
Trust me! The difference was visible. My skin felt brighter, smoother, and softer post the completion of all the steps. This facial kit is definitely lit and a must-have for everyone with oily skin.
And, that’s for today! If you find this article helpful, make sure to share it with your friends and family.

#It is not a De-Tan kit. So, it would not remove those stubborn suntans. Try out the O3+ Detan Facial Kit or Face Pack for that
Is It One of the Best Facial Kits Out There?
Undoubtedly! It is not only hydrating but also quite rejuvenating. The overall experience indeed quite relaxing.
All the components delivered the desired results. Easy steps and ease of application made the process easier.
So, if you are looking for a budget-friendly facial kit for your oily and acne-prone skin type and you have no time for a salon visit, then this is definitely your call. Enjoy!!
