My name is Valerie Hanft, MD, and I am a board-certified dermatologist and Advisory Board Member for O2 Partners. Whether you’ve heard about AO2 Clear before or this is your first introduction, I’m excited to share a radically new approach to achieving clearer, healthier skin with you and your practice.

Our product, AO2 Clear®, is a novel formulation containing two simple ingredients – distilled water and oxygen. Nothing else. We use a patented nanobubble technology to deliver the highest concentration of oxygen of any skincare product on the market.

As you know, the bacteria that cause acne (Cutibacteria acnes) thrive in an environment devoid of oxygen. Because AO2 floods the pores with oxygen, this treatment is antibacterial without any risks of traditional antibiotics. We have found that it is effective in all skin types, has no potential for adverse reactions (irritation, redness, or dryness), and is safe for all patients, including those who are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.

Since our original product launch, we noticed that our customers have reported many benefits beyond clearing blemishes. Users report their skin feels smoother and more hydrated. Those who have had procedures like Fraxel, chemical peels, and microneedling report their skin heals faster. Users have also reported better tolerance of drying agents such as topical retinoids and oral Accutane. Read more in our study results below.

AO2 Clear is simple to use—it is applied twice daily with supplied sponges. There is no need to change any existing skincare regimen.
