Real Stories. Visible Results. Karina’s Skin Transformation: The Routine Behind the Glow
Karina came to Intraceuticals with a common but frustrating combination: dehydration, excess oil, and visible blemishes - skin that felt out of balance despite her best efforts.
Like many who are serious about their skincare, she wasn't after a temporary fix. She needed a routine that could restore hydration, calm the skin, and deliver lasting improvement in overall skin quality.
Following her Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial, the transformation was clear.
“My skin has never looked healthier.”
The Treatment That Reset Everything
Karina began her journey with the Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Oxygen Facial, a deeply hydrating treatment that delivers advanced serums into the skin using hyperbaric oxygen technology.
Powered by low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, this system enhances ingredient penetration while delivering immediate hydration and skin comfort.
This treatment works to:
● Instantly boost hydration
● Improve skin plumpness and smoothness
● Support overall skin balance and radiance
For Karina, it was the first step in resetting her skin and creating the foundation for long-term results.
The At-Home Routine That Maintained Her Results
To support her skin post-treatment, Karina was recommended a curated routine designed to target both dehydration and congestion, while strengthening the skin barrier and improving overall skin performance.
Step 1: Cleanse and Balance
Clarity Sensitive Gel Cleanser
A lightweight, sulfate-free gel cleanser designed to deeply cleanse while maintaining skin comfort and balance. Ideal for skin experiencing excess oil, congestion, or sensitivity, it removes impurities without stripping the barrier.
Key ingredients:
● Salicylic Acid (BHA) to gently exfoliate and decongest pores
● Decyl Glucoside and Cocamidopropyl Betaine for mild, effective cleansing
● Bisabolol (Chamomile-derived) to calm irritation
● Ginger Root Extract to soothe and reduce visible redness
Key benefits:
● Deeply cleanses and refines congested pores
● Reduces excess oil while maintaining hydration
● Calms sensitivity and irritation
● Primes the skin for optimal absorption of treatment serums
Step 2: Deep Hydration
Rejuvenate 3-Step Hyaluronic Layering Set
Hydration was central to restoring Karina’s skin. The Rejuvenate system uses a multi-level Hyaluronic Layering approach to deliver hydration at different depths, improving both immediate skin appearance and long-term performance.
Step 1: Daily Serum – Prepare & Revive
Formulated with low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, this step draws moisture into the skin while enhancing the delivery of active ingredients.

● Ginger Root Extract calms and comforts the skin
Benefits:
● Instantly hydrates and plumps
● Improves tone and smoothness
● Prepares skin for the next steps
Step 2: Hydration Gel – Replenish
This step uses medium-weight hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration and create a moisture reservoir within the skin.
● Medium-weight Hyaluronic Acid replenishes and retains moisture
● Vitamins C and E protect against environmental stress
● Green Tea Extract soothes and supports skin defence
Benefits:
● Sustains hydration and improves elasticity
● Smooths the appearance of fine lines
● Enhances clarity and radiance
Step 3: Moisture Binding Cream – Protect
The final step locks in hydration with high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, helping strengthen the skin barrier.
● High-weight Hyaluronic Acid seals in moisture
● Jojoba Seed Oil nourishes and softens
● Squalane supports barrier function and hydration
Benefits:
● Prevents moisture loss

Why This Routine Works
Karina’s results highlight the importance of combining in-clinic treatments with targeted homecare.

● Renewal to refine texture and improve clarity
This integrated approach supports both the appearance and function of the skin, leading to more consistent, long-term results.
