I was excited to try the 252 Cosmetic Ultra Bohr Effect C02 Therapy Project mask simply because the science behind it sounds intriguing. I received a full size I definitely had to do some research regarding this medical mask, and here is what I found: The Bohr Effect introduces CO2 into the skin therefore decreasing oxygen in the hemoglobin and releases it into your skin. Oxygen in the skin is a natural way to boost cellular metabolism and create more youthful skin. As we age, our blood circulation slows down, making it harder for our skin to capture oxygen. The Bohr mask provides more oxygen to your skin which results in faster metabolism, improved cell regeneration, quick wound healing and less skin problems.
Directions were not very clear from the get go, since there were none provided in English, but only a diagram instead. So, I took to the internet for some idea of how to properly apply the mask. After watching several beauty Korean beauty shows, I was able replicate the simple process. Inside the box there are two extra wide strips of masks, and my best guess is that they are for testing purposes.
The first, just like with any mask, is to make sure your face is clean and toned. Secondly, I applied the gel to my face and used a brush to spread it evenly. I noticed that you need to apply a hefty amount making sure its extra thick on your face before applying the mask. Now it’s time to apply the mask! The mask itself is pretty coarse and stiff, so without enough gel, it will not cover (or stick to the face) completely. There is a simple fix though; I just added more gel underneath, and like in the video I added it on top, making sure it was thoroughly coated. Then wait 25-30 minutes as recommend, peel, wash face off with cool water and apply a moisturizer.
I will say it is recommend that you apply gel to your face then mask, because what essentially is happening is a reaction from the ingredients in the gel to the ingredients in the mask. That is where you get the burning sensation, or as others have stated, “tingly” sensation. I was horrified, not having read many reviews or any that stated that this would be the case, and I was worried that this would damage my skin. Yes, it was uncomfortable for about the first 10 seconds, but afterward it felt like wearing a normal mask with my skin feeling slightly warmed.
I don’t find my skin to be that sensitive, but keep in mind that everyone reacts differently. The burning and possible redness may be more severe due to sensitive skin or an allergy to an ingredient, so use with caution. If it’s too much, I would immediately take it off, wash the skin, and apply a moisturizer. For me personally, I checked my skin soon after the burning, but there was no redness nor was there any mid-way through the mask time or after taking it off. Since using the mask, I haven’t noticed anything other than positive effects such as my skin feeling smoother, noticeably tighter and exfoliated. I could see using this again, not every week, but maybe once a month since it is like shock to your skin.
Overall, I was able to overcome the immediate burning sensation and love the payoff of healthy skin afterwards. I would caution anyone to try the testing strips on your hand or wrist before applying directly to the face, in order to see how your skin will react. I noticed this received a lot of negative reactions from the 08 Liter community, but I believe I thoroughly tried and tested the sheet mask to find that behind the science, there actually are noticeable differences and benefits to this.
