Our Science
Dr. Herzog's medical miracle
Just like every other cell in our body, our skin cells need oxygen to function properly. Oxygen – one nature's most effective disinfectants – is essential in killing bacteria to power up the skin cells, promoting collagen & elastin production and helping to renew, tighten, plump and strengthen the skin.
As we age and are subject to environmental influences, oxygen is sapped from our skin as oxygen-providing capillaries are destroyed resulting in fine lines and wrinkles, dry skin, blemishes, blackheads and other problematic skin conditions.
How does Dr. Herzog's technology work in a nutshell?
Most believed it was impossible to stabilize active oxygen in a cream because it is very volatile: each oxygen atom strives to join another one to form O₂. However, Dr. Herzog believed differently and worked tirelessly to develop a formula that essentially creates small barriers around each oxygen atom so they can’t join with another. When the cream comes into contact with the skin, the catalase enzyme on the skin destroys these barriers to free the atoms. The oxygen atoms then join to create O₂ molecules, which causes a mini-explosion and releases H₂O (water). The resulting pressure propels the oxygen, water, and other active ingredients, including Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, and AHA, under the skin, directly into the epidermis, where it is needed to optimize skin functions.
Dr. Herzog’s goal was to create a hypoallergenic oxygen cream for use as a medical treatment to repair the skin of burn victims. It was his wife, Karin, who convinced him of the benefits of his discovery for the world of skincare. The rest, as they say, is history.

Our Heritage
After 10 years of rigorous experimentation, Nobel Honoree Dr. Paul Herzog discovered the secret of miracle skincare in his lab in Switzerland.
Inspired by the organic hydrating and antiseptic powers of oxygen, he developed a formula that stabilizes active oxygen in a cream.
No one before or since has ever emulated this success, and the patented formula is only known to the Herzog family to this day.
He worked with his wife, acclaimed esthetician Karin, to conceive a range of luxury miracle, high-performance, age-fighting and skin-healing creams. Dr. Herzog named the line Karin Herzog in honor of his beloved wife.
Our secret of miracle skincare has passed along the generations ever since.
In the true family tradition, today, Dr. Paul and Karin’s daughter, Noëlle, and her husband, Donato, are passionately continuing the Karin Herzog story. All of our favorite miracle formulas and new anti-aging innovations are still made in the Swiss lab, where our team of experts are committed to helping women everywhere rediscover youthful, crystal clear skin.

Our Ritual
The Karin Herzog ritual is an advanced high performance regime for the face, designed to advance and luxuriate Dr. Herzog’s miracle oxygen technology.
Years of scientific research have culminated in a unique and transformative 4-step regime where each step is mutually enhancing:
- Prepare - Cleanse, tone, and scrub to create the perfect base to reveal a youthful, clear complexion.
- Correct & Treat - Oxygenate to boost collagen, banish bacteria and combat dullness, signs of aging, dryness, blemishes, and rosacea.
- Nourish - Oxygenate to boost collagen, banish bacteria and combat dullness, signs of aging, dryness, blemishes, and rosacea.
- Beautify - Reveal a flawless look with velvety soft, light, non-clogging make-up.
Correct & Treat
Dr. Herzog also developed an innovative range of creams for the body, including tanning treatments. The exceptional Karin Herzog range works to banish cellulite and dryness to reveal smooth, toned and moisturized skin
Oxygen and The Brush
The Karin Herzog ritual is further enhanced by the use of the brush.
The oxygen in the patented formula is only released from the cream when it comes into contact with the Catalase enzyme in the skin. Application of the oxygen creams with a brush prevents the oxygen from being released into the fingertips, saving its miracle powers for the areas where you need it most.
