Get Brighter, Smoother Skin With These Fabulous New Facial Masks

As I have shared previously, I was blessed with good skin and didn't pay much attention to skincare until several years ago, when the sun damage incurred in my youth (before I got in the habit of using sunscreen 365 days a year) suddenly started aging my appearance rapidly. Now, at age 70, my skin looks considerably better than it did at age 65 or 66, thanks to following a good skincare routine and using effective products consistently to turn back the clock. 

A few months ago I wrote a review of a new-to-me skincare discovery, the Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel facial masks, The Best Affordable Carboxytherapy Mask For Glowing, Youthful Skin. Since then, I have tried the Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Bright Plus masks with vitamin C for added brightening and the newest addition to the line, the Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus masks with pink kaolin clay to minimize the appearance of pores. The Osmanthus masks are a limited edition, but they are so good that I am hoping they will become a permanent part of the line. These are the version I am reviewing today.

Note: I fell in love with these products as soon as I tried them and applied to become an affiliate partner at Shikō Beauty Collective, the US distributor, because I believe in them so much. The product links in this review are affiliate links.

Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus Facial Mask
Each box of Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus masks comes with everything you need to do 5 at-home facial mask sessions: 5 packets of gel, 5 packets of powder, a mixing cup, and a spatula.

What Are Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus Masks?

Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus Facial masks are a luxurious and scientifically advanced at-home facial treatment designed to deliver professional spa-like results at home and give you glowing, hydrated, and rejuvenated skin. This innovative mask combines cutting-edge Japanese skincare technology with natural botanical ingredients to visibly transform your skin's appearance after just one application. The improvements compound with repeated use.

This version of the Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel masks contains osmanthus flower extract (hence the name) and pink kaolin clay to clear and tighten the appearance of pores for a smoother complexion.

Product Highlights

Oxygen-Infusion Technology

At the heart of this mask is Dr. Medion's patented Spaoxy Gel technology, which infuses oxygen into the skin during the treatment process and provides deep hydration. Oxygen is a vital element for skin rejuvenation, helping to boost cell turnover and improve skin’s overall texture and radiance. This oxygenation promotes cellular regeneration, enhances circulation, and boosts skin vitality, leaving your complexion plumper and more radiant.

Osmanthus Flower Extract

Osmanthus, a rare and precious flower, is known for its soothing and antioxidant properties. Rich in polyphenols and essential nutrients, osmanthus extract helps calm and soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, neutralize free radicals, and fight the effects of environmental stressors, leaving your complexion calm, smooth, and glowing. Its gentle fragrance also enhances the overall sensory experience of using this mask.

Deep Hydration and Brightening

Formulated to tackle multiple skin concerns, the mask delivers intense hydration to restore moisture balance, smooth out dry patches, and improve elasticity. It also brightens dull complexions and helps to refine pores and promote a firmer, lifted appearance, making it an ideal solution for those with uneven skin tone, signs of fatigue, or early aging. Regular use can enhance skin elasticity and radiance.

Two-Step Activation Process

This two-step mask involves mixing the gel and powder components to create a custom, effervescent mask that activates oxygen bubbles on contact with the skin. As the formula activates, it delivers a refreshing and cooling sensation, signaling its active oxygenating effects.

Non-Irritating Formula

Dermatologically tested and free from harsh chemicals, the mask is gentle enough for sensitive skin. It is free from parabens, synthetic dyes, and artificial fragrances, ensuring a clean and skin-friendly formula.

How to Use These Spaoxy Gel Masks

Using the mask is straightforward and relaxing:

  1. Preparation: Begin by thoroughly cleansing your face and patting it dry. This ensures that your skin is free from impurities and ready to absorb the mask’s benefits.
  2. Mixing: Squeeze one packet of the gel into the container that comes in the box and pour one packet of the powder over it. Use the provided spatula to mix until the mixture turns into a smooth, thick, foamy consistency.
  3. Application: Using the spatula, spread the mixture evenly over your face. If desired, you can also apply the mask to the eyelids and undereye area (being careful to avoid getting it in your eyes), over the lips, and on the neck and décolleté to lift, firm, and plump those areas as well. (You can see me apply the mask to all these areas in the video demo below.) Alternatively, you can apply any excess mask to the backs of your hands.
  4. Treatment: Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. During this time, you’ll feel a cooling, soothing sensation as the oxygenating gel gets to work.
  5. Removal: Gently remove the bulk off the mask with the spatula, then rinse with lukewarm water to reveal the brighter, smoother skin underneath.
The preparation and application of the mask feels indulgent, like a mini at-home spa ritual. Once applied, the mask's cooling sensation is incredibly soothing, making it ideal for a self-care moment after a long day. The gel spreads easily and stays in place without dripping, making it convenient for relaxing during the treatment.

After about 15-20 minutes, the mask leaves your skin feeling noticeably softer, smoother, and refreshed. There’s an immediate plumping effect that makes fine lines appear less prominent, and the brightening properties give you a radiant, youthful glow.

I recorded a video of myself using the Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus masks for the first time a week or two ago. Unfortunately, I'm recovering from a bad case of bronchitis, so I wasn't looking or feeling my best in the video. Even so, you'll be able to see the difference in my skin's appearance after applying and removing this impressive facial mask treatment! In case you can't see the video below, here's the link to my Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus mask demo video.


Key Benefits

  • Immediate Results: After just one use, skin feels deeply hydrated, refreshed, and visibly brighter. Fine lines appear softened, and the overall texture is smoother.
  • Long-Term Benefits: With regular use, the mask helps improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of pores, and protect against oxidative damage, contributing to a youthful, healthy complexion.
  • Spa-Like Experience: The sensory experience of using this mask—from the light floral scent of osmanthus to the cooling sensation on your skin—adds an element of relaxation and self-care to your skincare routine.

Who Would Benefit Most From These Facial Masks?

The Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus Mask is perfect for anyone looking to:

  • Combat dullness and uneven skin tone.
  • Minimize the appearance of fine lines and pores.
  • Pamper their skin with a luxurious, spa-like treatment.
  • Rejuvenate tired, stressed, or dehydrated skin.

While suitable for all skin types, those with sensitive skin will particularly appreciate the gentle, calming properties of osmanthus extract.

This mask is suitable for a wide range of skin types, but it is especially beneficial for:

  • Dry or Dehydrated Skin: Provides long-lasting moisture and plumping effects.
  • Mature Skin: Softens fine lines, improves elasticity, and boosts radiance.
  • Dull or Tired Skin: Brightens the complexion and restores a healthy glow.
  • Sensitive Skin: The gentle, non-irritating formula calms and soothes, making it ideal for those prone to redness or irritation.

What Makes These Masks Different

Like all the Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel masks, the Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Osmanthus mask elevates at-home skincare with its professional-grade results, natural ingredients, and relaxing application process. Unlike traditional sheet masks or creams, the oxygen-infusing formula delivers instant visible improvements while working beneath the surface to repair and protect your skin over time.

    1. I’m so glad my skincare reviews and recommendations are helpful, Olivia! I never get skincare treatments done at a salon or clinic (too expensive and time-consuming), so I love being able to do a salon-quality treatment at home at a fraction of the cost in just 15–20 minutes. I hope you decide to treat yourself to a box of these at-home facial masks. You’ll love the way they make you look and feel!

  3. I've been following your results with this on Instagram, and you look amazing - your self-care due diligence is something I need to work a bit harder on. I'm not one to fuss, but after having a day of "yuk" I'm thinking "get to it girl" - thanks for the intro to all these amazing products - it's an area I know very little about, so it sure helps, and knowing you makes it even better.
