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 got the lotion + oil + brush set .. amazing.. This was the gateway product into my descent to full goop - ification. Expensive but worth it IMO! Scent: perfect. Rich + hydrating. Also, the customer service was sooo lovely <3

  • I’ve really enjoyed the body oil, especially fresh out of the shower! My skin doesn’t love regular moisturizers that I feel just sit atop my skin? but this sinks right in and keeps my skin feeling lush.

  • I love how clean their products are and it really makes me feel like a luxury experience when I use them. I just wish they were more affordable.

  • The body oil and body butter are both absolutely delightful. The smell is a refined citrus that isn’t overwhelming and the application is rich, but absorbable and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling (though I love rich body products and have a high tolerance for greasy feeling products, if you have sensory issues, your experience may vary). Overall, exactly what I want out of body products.

  • Before Osea: not a body lotion girl. Ever. After Osea: Body lotion + oil LOYALIST. This brand converted me and added an entirely new habit into my already extensive routine. If that's not a testament to how good this stuff is, I truly don't know what is. I am absolutely obsessed with their Mega Moisture Duo. The texture and consistency of the Undaria Algae Body Oil is something I've been looking for my whole life. It soaks right into the skin and the only trace is leaves is luminosity. Layering the Undaria Algae Body Oil on top of it is like adding rainbow sprinkles to your favorite vanilla ice cream- just amps up the reward tenfold. Plus, I love the chic branding/packaging that makes me feel like I've stocked by bathroom with niche luxury spa products. I have already repurchased this set several times and will continue to do so until the end of time.

  • The serum was an odd consistency for me. Didn’t really notice anything good or bad that it did for me over a few months.

  • while i wanted to love this brand, it was a bit disappointing to me. the formulas feel nice & high quality but some of the products were too irritating for my sensitive skin. i might repurchase some of the products but i wouldn’t recommend the brand as it’s a bit overpriced.

  • I use the ocean eyes and it's my favorite skincare product that I have. I put it on multiple times a day and it feels AMAZING plus it really brightens up my under eyes. I've also tried the body oil and it smells so good and is hydrating without being greasy. I plan to phase out all my skincare and replace everything with Osea because I just love the brand and the ingredients

  • These are beautiful products. They’re sustainable, effective, and the most mermaidcore skincare brand on the market. I’ve tried their mist, body oil, and face creams and loved them all. Although pricey, none has left me feeling like they weren’t worth it. They really do evoke the ocean in their products, which makes them far more of an experience than your average skincare buy.

  • I wish I could give this brand more stars. I have switched to all clean products the past few years and the first time I tried Osea I haven't looked back. I use their cleansers, body oil, serums, moisturizers and more. You name it, I probably have it! Everyone should try Osea and I couldn't recommend it more!

  • I use the Undaria body butter and love it. It deeply moisturizes my skin and has helped reduce the appearance of some body acne scarring.

  • Luxurious products that really work. The body oil is my hero product. It is the first body oil I have ever loved... and I have tried a lot. Non-greasy and smells fresh. This is a re-purchase for sure.

  • Why do Osea products feel luxurious, natural and weirdly healthy? Not saying I would, but their Undaria Argan Oil has the appearance and consistency of an olive oil I would gladly dip a wedge of baguette into. The smell is nice (I know some people, cough, my mother, love it), but it wasn't jazzing me up some alt body products out there. My skin is so dry (hello daily swimmers), so I'm always on the market for a new way to hydrate. It's a fun mix into the usually routine for me, not a daily use type of product.

  • This robust, well-crafted tin is built to withstand the rigors of your bag, keeping contents safe from harm.

  • I can really tell a difference in my skin's texture after using this line. It feels so smooth and supple.

  • Refreshing is the best way to describe this ocean-inspired skincare! My skin feels so hydrated and soft after using it. I used it after a long day in the sun, and it was just what I needed.

  • Loved their products. Yes they are at won the higher side of the cost spectrum, but they’re worth every penny. The scents were subtle and pleasing, my skin showed mild signed of improvement after just a week, then more with daily use. The cost is a bummer, so I’ll probably ration out use to stretch it longer, but highly recommend.
