Setting a new standard—clean, side-effect free relief

“I most enjoyed treating patients with acne—probably because it’s such a relatable condition. There are many treatments available, but they’re often drying or irritating. This is so unique because it’s very unlikely to cause any irritation and it’s ideal for any skin type.”

Our story is a series of scientific opportunities

2017
Our Chief Scientist, Dr. Zvi Yaniv, Ph.D, takes to his lab to develop a gentler and more effective treatment for peripheral neuropathy in his hands and feet. A prolific, globally-recognized inventor with over 300 nanotechnology patents Dr. Yaniv harnesses the power of oxygen and nanobubbles to deliver unprecedented relief directly to the source of his pain—oxygen-starved nerves beneath the skin.
2020
A chance encounter with board certified dermatologist, Valerie Hanft, MD, reveals that pure oxygen has a remarkable clearing effect on acne by killing the anaerobic bacteria that cause acne inflammation inside our pores. The seed is planted to take Dr. Yaniv’s oxygen nanobubbles and develop a better kind of acne treatment.
2021
Dr. Hanft joins the team, inspired by the prospect of offering her patients a less irritating but just as effective acne treatment. The team sets to work testing formulations of oxygen nanobubbles in different topical applications. When pure, distilled water becomes the clear choice a study is undertaken to determine what types of skin, acne, and lifestyles are most positively impacted by the new AO2 Clear treatment.
2022
Study insights and recommendations in hand, AO2 Clear makes its public debut and the ultra clean, side-effect-free revolution begins.

My AO2 Clear journey started as one of the initial “testers”. I’ve had Rosacea for years, which has required antibiotics to keep in check. Since I’ve been consistently using A02, both the antibiotics and redness are mostly gone!
