Reviews mention

  • Luxurious glass packaging aesthetics
  • Hydrating seaweed-based formulations
  • Fast-absorbing, non-greasy body oil
  • Gentle, non-stripping cleansers
  • Strong citrus-herbal fragrances
  • Inconsistent acne treatment efficacy
  • Cumbersome pumps and dispensers
  • Occasional pilling and heaviness

Osea earns strong reviews for effective, spa-like skincare—especially Undaria Algae Body Oil, Ocean Cleanser, and body butters that deliver lasting hydration, smoother texture, and a non-greasy glow—while drawbacks include often-strong citrus/herbal fragrance, occasional sensitivity or irritation, finicky pumps/glass packaging, and inconsistent results from acne treatments. Overall the brand is good for dry or sensitive-leaning skin seeking clean, seaweed-based formulas and luxe sensoriality, but fragrance tolerance and texture preferences matter.

  • I am on my fifth bottle of this body oil every time I try to find a substitute. I realize that nothing can beat this. It smells amazing and it feels so luxurious. It really is a spa day in a bottle. I love it.

  • This might be my favorite body butter ever I can use it during the winter or summer. It’s very hydrating, but it melts into the skin easily and it smells amazing. This is such a luxurious treat and a nice self-care day.

  • I bought this after listening to the founders on The Skinny Confidential Podcast (and seeing about 1000 Instagram ads of beautiful, shiny legs). The body oil is amazing. It smells wonderful, is easy to apply (I apply to damp skin after showering), and my skin is genuinely more moisturized than when I use lotion (I tend to use lotion at night). There's no heavy feeling, you can just air dry and go about your day. I only wish it were more affordable but I understand the pricing because of how much goes into producing it. It's just out of my budget but I do not think it's overpriced for the quality. I also love that the packaging is glass and not plastic.

  • Best cleanser on the market. Great for sensitive skin. It hydrates and cleanses .they use seaweed that’s so amazing for the skin: Jennifer the owner puts a lot of love into it. It’s from California. Use petashop for a discount

  • Hands down my favorite body oil. It smells like I'm in a spa, super fresh and delicious citrus like grapefruit and also a hint of mango. Not overpowering at all, just perfect. It absorbs into the skin beautifully, leaving a nice glow, but not greasy. Already repurchased and will continue to do so (hence full bottle in the picture). I really need to purchase the travel size. Only downside is, that it's not available in Europe.

  • My skin is extremely sensitive so I am always on a hunt to find what will work and won't work for my skin. I took a chance on this because of the reviews and I liked the company's ethos. This cleanser has worked great for my sensitive skin. I did knock it down one due to price and scent. i prefer fragrance free but this does have a bit of an orange citrusy scent to it

  • Love this body oil, super hydrating. I typically use it alongside the lotion after showering but it works well on its own too. I’ve had stretch marks for as long as I can remember and this has toned the skin in the area and minimized their appearance, an unexpected, but very welcome, benefit

  • I loved using the ocean cleanser! It made my nightly routine feel elevated and the scent was subtle but strong enough to where it gave me a spa like feel. I have used several Osea products and will continue to buy them! High quality and good ingredients.

  • The body oil is, indeed, great - but for me it works best when layered over a moisturizer. I do think it's worth the price, especially since I use it sparingly!! Smells great and would purchase again!

  • Living in a desert climate is so hard on the skin. I really liked using the Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream for how it helped lock in moisture as well as how it provided a barrier to keep pollution out. I know that scents can be polarizing, but I found the cream to be light and refreshing, not something that would keep me away. It played nicely with my everyday skin care and I didn’t experience any pilling. I’m only giving this 4 stars because the packaging makes it almost impossible to get all of the product out (even with a teeny tiny spatula).

  • Spa-like experience with the scent and texture but not ideal for a face full of makeup. The house bottle and pump are nice also and offer a more luxurious experience. I got as a sample in an allure box (I think) and repurchased once I finished it!

  • Leaves your skin feeling fresh. I have tried many other cleansers but this one is by far my favorite. It feels great on my skin and leaves me and my face feeling refreshed. Highly recommend this gentle cleanser.

  • Luxury all the way! This body oil has such an amazing absorption quality and makes my skin so soft. It’s great for winter months when the air is so dry and cold. I also like to mix it with another unscented lotion to help it last a little longer. It’s definitely on the pricier side but worth it!

  • I suffer from dry skin and have cycled through various body washes, lotions, and oils until I found this wonderful product. It smells fantastic and is a lovely moment of luxury post-shower. It’s non-greasy, absorbs beautifully, and keeps skin supple throughout the day. It’s expensive, but the large bottle lasts 3-4 months

  • Amazing clean products made with seaweed. Mother daughter duo. Lots of love and intention. Obsessed with the their ocean cleanser, lip gloss, body polish and body butter. I have been using for 6 years.

  • Not sure how much it did. It felt really nice going on and made my night time routine feel lux though. The applicator is 100000/10 though and really should be industry standard for all eye products. Not sure if i will repurchase though.

  • I was influenced into buying this. Maybe I don't understand what a body oil is meant for, but I was just left feeling greasy and like I wanted to wash it off (though it smells fantastic!) the pump on mine is also too powerful and I always manage to get some on the counter or wall.

  • I just ordered my refill bottle of the body oil. I recently got into dry brushing and was looking into a body oil to compliment the process. I find the Osea Oil to be the best I've tried by far. It doesn't leave any residue on my clothes after application and it dries pretty quickly as well. The smell is soothing and I find a little goes a long way with the oil.

  • Meet the oil that finally got it right. ✨ In the endless carousel of moisturizers, few manage to marry efficacy with elegance. OSEA’s Undaria Algae™ Body Oil delivers. For years, oils promised glow but left behind sticky towels, stained clothes, and a patience-testing wait before getting dressed. OSEA has rewritten that narrative with a formula as chic as it is effective. Hand-harvested Undaria algae soaks for months in nutrient-dense botanical oils, creating a golden infusion that is equal parts ritual and result. So lightweight I questioned if it could truly moisturize my parched skin, it does—absorbing quickly while clinically shown to boost elasticity and hydration. The scent is another quiet luxury: grapefruit, lime, and cypress with a touch of mango and mandarin. Invigorating, never overpowering. For the minimalists, a fragrance-free version proves that performance and sensitivity can coexist, I haven’t tried it but imagine it would be just as amazing. Most inspiring of all, OSEA is female founded and family led, born from a century-long legacy of women guided by the healing power of the sea. Today, that heritage is infused into every bottle, offering clean, sustainable skincare made in the USA that honors both body and planet. With this oil, nourishment becomes a pleasure, not a compromise…Enjoy.

  • The overall impression of this product is very positive. The hydrating oil has a wonderful elegant scent and feel. It effortlessly melts into skin and feels luxurious. I got a full size 1oz glass bottle in my Allure Box 😘 the glass bottle looks super high end. I’m in my 40’s and gentle simplicity in products like this this one are what I’m always looking for.
