The H2O Glow Facial is a 45-minute Crystal Clear treatment designed for one thing: an instant, hydrated glow. Ice-cold oxygen is delivered into the skin while a fine roller creates tiny micro-channels that help hyaluronic acid reach deeper layers. It finishes with a facial massage, a mask and SPF. It is a one-off rather than a course, which makes it a favourite before parties, weddings and nights out. At Escape Beauty in Truro it costs £70.
With Christmas parties, work dos and New Year's Eve coming up, here is everything you need to know, including the best time to book it before your event.
Key Takeaways
- The H2O Glow Facial is 45 minutes and £70, and it is designed as a one-off.
- Ice-cold oxygen and hyaluronic acid are delivered through micro-channels for deep hydration.
- It includes facial massage, a mask and SPF.
- Book it 2 to 5 days before a big event for the best glow.
- For firming or texture over time, look at the Frozen or Advanced Facial instead.
What is the H2O Glow Facial?
Crystal Clear describes the H2O Glow as their most intense hydration treatment, designed for red-carpet-ready skin. It uses the same COMCIT TDO technology as our other advanced facials. If you are new to it, our guide to COMCIT TDO explains the system in full.
The difference is the serum. Instead of the f10 peptides used for firming, the H2O Glow uses hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that holds on to water and helps skin look plumper and smoother. Delivered through micro-channels and chilled oxygen, it can reach further than a moisturiser applied at home.
Why your skin looks dull in winter
Cold wind outside, central heating inside, late nights and a few more glasses of fizzy wine than usual. Winter is hard on skin. Low humidity pulls moisture from the surface, and dehydrated skin reflects less light, so it looks flat, tired and slightly grey. Fine lines can look more obvious too.
Hydration is the quickest way to change that. When skin is well hydrated, it looks plumper, smoother and brighter, which is exactly what the H2O Glow is designed to do.
Dehydrated skin is not the same as dry skin. Even oily skin can be dehydrated, which is why the H2O Glow suits almost everyone.
What happens during your appointment
1. Cleanse
We cleanse your skin thoroughly to give the serum a clean surface to work on. New clients start with a quick consultation and a few health questions.
2. Cryo-oxygen and hyaluronic acid
The COMCIT roller glides over your skin while ice-cold oxygen and hyaluronic acid are delivered through it. It feels cold and refreshing, with a light tingle.
3. Massage and mask
A relaxing facial massage, then a mask to calm and seal in the hydration. This is the part where most people drift off.
4. SPF
We finish with SPF and send you home with simple aftercare advice.

Book OnlineWhen to book it before an event
Timing makes a difference. Skin can look a little pink for a few hours after the treatment, so we would not recommend booking it on the morning of a big day.
| Timing | Our advice |
|---|---|
| 2 to 5 days before | The sweet spot. Any pinkness has gone and your skin is still at its most hydrated. |
| The day before | Usually fine, as pinkness tends to settle within a few hours. Best if you have had the treatment before. |
| On the day | Not ideal. You will want to skip make-up for the rest of the day. |
| Wedding or big occasion | Try one a month or so before as a trial, then book your main one 2 to 5 days before. |
What results can you expect?
The H2O Glow is designed to help skin look:
- More hydrated and plumper
- Brighter and more radiant
- Smoother, so make-up sits better
- Fresher and more rested
Results vary from person to person. Because it is a hydration treatment, the glow is at its best in the days after your appointment. For longer-lasting changes in firmness and texture, a course of Frozen Facials or Advanced Facials is the better choice.
H2O Glow, Frozen or Advanced?
| Treatment | Choose it if you want |

Who is it not suitable for?
We would wait or suggest an alternative during pregnancy, with active skin infections, open wounds or cold sores, or while taking certain medications. We check all of this at your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the H2O Glow Facial?
The H2O Glow Facial is a 45-minute Crystal Clear COMCIT TDO treatment. Ice-cold oxygen is delivered into the skin while a fine roller creates micro-channels that help hyaluronic acid travel deeper. It finishes with massage, a mask and SPF. It is designed as a one-off for an instant, hydrated glow.
When should I book an H2O Glow before an event?
Two to five days before is ideal. That gives any pinkness time to settle completely while your skin is still at its most hydrated. Avoid booking it for the day of the event if you can.
Do I need a course of H2O Glow Facials?
No. The H2O Glow is designed as a one-off treatment for an instant glow. If you want longer-term firming or texture results, a course of Frozen Facials or Advanced Facials is a better fit.
Can I wear make-up after an H2O Glow Facial?
We recommend going make-up free for the rest of the day so the skin can settle. From the next day, make-up usually sits beautifully on freshly hydrated skin.
Does the H2O Glow Facial hurt?
Most clients find it cold and tingly rather than painful. The oxygen is chilled and the roller gives a light prickling feeling. The massage and mask at the end are pure relaxation.
