OSEA Hyaluronic Sea Serum

If you crave moisturized, plump skin, then look no further!

Hyaluronic Acid is a sought-after ingredient for hydration. This particular serum delivers two molecular weights of it - seaweed and snow mushroom - to optimize the skin’s moisture levels.

I personally really like this serum because it absorbs quickly, leaving the skin hydrated, but not sticky. It also doesn’t have too many active ingredients, and focuses on hydration, meaning it can be combined with many different moisturizers or creams.

Overall, for a powerhouse plumping serum, I would highly recommend this one!

Star Ingredients: Japanese Miru Seaweed & 2X Hyaluronic Acid (hydrating), Volcanic Marine Ferment (plumping)

Recommended? Yes!

OSEA Ocean Cleanser

This gentle lactic acid based cleanser washes away makeup and pollution, without leaving the skin feeling dry. For those with sensitive skin who still want some exfoliation, this could be a good option.

With a pleasing herbal scent, Osea’s Ocean Cleanser is a great everyday product, that keeps skin plump and primed for other skincare.

While I do think it’s a product that works well, I feel the price tag is a bit hefty for a cleanser. If price isn’t an option, give it a go. However, if you want to be more price-conscious, there are other Osea products I would recommend above this one!

Star Ingredients: Undaria Seaweed (antioxidants), Bentonite (cleansing), Lactic Acid (exfoliating)

Recommended? No

OSEA Atmosphere Protection Cream

For a wonderful daily moisturizer, look no further than Osea’s Atmosphere Protection Cream.

This lightweight formula absorbs quickly, which makes it perfect in the warmer months. It also works beautifully as a primer for makeup and SPF.

It’s gently scented, and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

Overall, I think this is a nice cream, that is especially lovely in the summer!

Star Ingredients: Seaweed Marine Blend (soothing), Elfdock (protecting), Niacinamide & Shea Butter (hydrating)

Recommended? Yes

OSEA Ocean Eyes Age-Defying Serum

If your eyes need a little refresh, then this serum is a lovely addition to your routine.

The metal rollerball smooths on easily underneath your eyes, and the coolness feels refreshing (goodbye, dark circles and puffiness).

Something I appreciate is that my eyes have never felt stingy or watery after using this formula. It also absorbs quickly, which means makeup and SPF can be easily applied overtop.

If you prefer lighter weight formulas, or don’t enjoy heavy creams in hot weather, this is a good option to use alone. However, it can be easily be combined underneath an eye cream for an extra hydrating boost.

All in all, a wonderful serum to add to your skincare.

Star Ingredients: Seaweed Blend & Caffeine & Bark and Plant Extract (brightening), Peptide (smoothing), Quinoa (de-puffing)

Recommended? Yes

OSEA Advanced Repair Eye Cream

Osea’s Advance Repair Eye Cream is highly hydrating option for under the eyes.

The formula is quite thick, so it’s preferable as a nighttime eye cream. You can use it in the morning, but you may have to use less, or allow more time for it to ‘dry’. I personally prefer to layer it over the Ocean Eyes Age-Defying Serum in the evening for optimal results.

The texture itself is velvet-y, and it does smooth easily under the eyes.

If you don’t mind a thicker formula, than this is a great option to try (especially in the evening)!

Star Ingredients: Green Microalgae & Fermented Plant Extract & Horse Chestnut (smoothing), Squalane (hydrating)

Recommended? No

OSEA Sea Minerals Mist

This is an effective toner, that I recommend if you like layering products. It absorbs quickly, and works well in conjunction with other Osea (or other brand’s) products.

Hydrate skin with this supercharged toning mist. Primes, sets and refreshes for a dewy, glowing finish. Cooling and refreshing, our mineral-infused formula helps nourish sun-drenched skin. This seaweed-infused mist is the ideal delivery system for plumping hydration.

Star Ingredients: Aloe Vera & Sodium Hyaluronate (hydrating), Dead Sea Salt (minerals)
