Honestly, I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to write a blog about this brand that I’m sharing today. I’ve been using them for years and have tried *most* of their products. It’s pretty rare to find a brand that checks all of my boxes (clean ingredients, sustainable packaging, brand values, etc.) AND the products all perform well. Truly, OSEA is a standout skincare brand that I wholeheartedly love and recommend. I can’t wait to share my top picks with you!

My Personal Favorite OSEA Products:
So like I said, I’ve tried the majority of the products that OSEA offers. And I truly don’t have anything bad to say about any of them. But I thought I’d break it down for you and share my absolute TOP SEVEN picks and faves! In case you need some inspo for what to choose.

7. Anti-Aging Body Balm
If a body oil and a lotion had a baby, this would be it! Such a unique texture; it’s like a soft balm that isn’t as greasy as an oil, but offers way more moisture than a lotion. I find it best to apply to damp skin right after getting out of the shower. It makes my skin feel so supple and happy; it’s formulated to firm and improve the appearance of skin elasticity. The smell is pretty mild but delightful; it has coconut oil, lemon, grapefruit, basil, and jasmine.
6. Essential Corrective Complex Roller
When I feel a zit starting to pop up, I apply this right away! It’s a spot treatment and rolls on easily and quickly. You can use it all over your face but I like to just apply it to spots for targeted treatment. It smells so fresh! It’s a blend of ingredients like cypress, juniper, tea tree, and white thyme which are all great for balancing oil production, decongesting, and purifying. This usually helps diminish my breakouts and I love it!

5. Sea Minerals Toner Mist
OSEA has two different toners, but I prefer the green Sea Minerals one which is made for more combo and blemish-prone skin! It has organic Patagonian seaweed, dead sea salt, and aloe vera to soothe skin and provide a punch of hydration. I just spritz a little on my face before applying a moisturizer. It also feels REALLY great after you’ve been in the sun all day and you can keep it in the fridge for a nice cooling sensation ☀️
4. White Algae Mask
They offer a couple of face masks, but the White Algae Mask is my favorite! It applies as a lightweight, creamy texture and I like to leave it on for about 20 minutes then rinse off. Sometimes I even leave it on while I sleep for an overnight treatment! This formula is made for age-defying, brightening, plumping, and toning the skin. My face definitely feels soft, hydrated, bright, and firm after using this mask. It contains white marine algae, white tea, resveratrol, and hyaluronic acid.
3. Ocean Cleanser
OSEA has three cleansers and I prefer the Ocean Cleanser the most! It’s ideal for normal/combination skin. It’s a milky gel with a slightly thicker texture that I apply to damp skin and gently massage it in. It does a great job of removing makeup yet doesn’t make my skin feel stripped. It doesn’t really lather or foam, yet you can tell it’s cleansing and has a slick feel to it. The Ocean Cleanser has a pleasant smell with orange, juniper, cypress, and jasmine. I have gone through so many bottles of this!
Pro tip: You can also use it as a shaving gel 🪒
2. Blemish Balm
This is one of my go-to moisturizers! It’s lightweight and smells so uplifting and fresh. I especially love it when my skin is feeling congested or when I have some breakouts. It’s made with organic algae, mineral peptides, tea tree, rosemary, juniper, cypress, and thyme so it’s very potent! I can definitely tell my skin instantly feels clarified and the balm is working its magic. I use it both day and night! I seriously can’t get enough of this one.
(If you’re sensitive to smells or essential oils, you might like the Seabiotic Water Cream. I use that one all the time too! It’s a milder moisturizer that doesn’t have much of a scent. It’s slightly thicker and delivers up to 72 hours of deep hydration.)
1. Hyaluronic Sea Serum
Drumroll please…are you ready for my FAVORITE product of OSEA’s?! I cannot live without this serum and it’s a sad day when my bottle is empty! A friend once referred to this as “Botox in a bottle” and I couldn’t agree more. If you’re not familiar with hyaluronic acid, it’s basically a moisture magnet that attracts up to 1,000 times its weight in water. So think of it as sucking in moisture for your skin! 💦
But what I love most about this concentrated serum is that it’s a gel and dries very quickly into your skin as you apply it. It feels like I’m wearing nothing, but makes my skin feel SO plump, smooth, and firm. I apply it after cleansing and toning, and before moisturizing. I especially love it now that the season is changing and my skin is drier than usual. It also makes a wonderful priming base before applying skincare and makeup. If you’re gonna try just one OSEA product, you gotta try this one!

Sadly the promo code isn’t working. I tried checking out with more than $80 in my cart and added a travel size product and used the code but it says it wasn’t valid.
Sorry about that – I will reach out to get it fixed and let you know!
It should be working now, try again! Thanks!
The coupon works, I just placed 2 orders .
Does O’Shea have any retinol type products?
They don’t have any retinols, but the closest thing would be the Anti-Aging Sea Serum! Good if you’re trying to target lines, wrinkles, etc.
