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!

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

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

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)

Recommended? Yes
