This clear gel foams up gradually on your skin, leaving a layer of white froth that slowly disintegrates after about three minutes. The bubbles contain oxygen spheres, which improve circulation to skin cells while combating skin-damaging free radicals. The popping action feels like champagne bubbles lightly bursting on your skin. After you wash it off, follow up with the detoxifying crème concentrate, made with Moringa seed extract, a purifying ingredient.

There isn't much that isn't improved upon by adding bubbles. Case in point: Beverages, baths, gum and hot tubs are infinitely more fun with fizz. Now beauty products are getting in on the game -- and it's not just for show. According to dermatologist Dr. Jeanette Graf, MD, fizzing skin care products have an exfoliating effect that allows their active ingredients to penetrate the skin more effectively. The result: impossibly gorgeous, glowing skin.

Here, the beauty products that are all the more effective (and fun) for their fizz.
