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.

Holy Grail for my body care. I have eczema-prone, sensitive skin. I've tried all the classic brands the dermatologist will recommend. The body oil has a great texture and keep my skin happy in the dry heat of where I live. I put it on right after the shower. I not only no longer have red, dry, itchy patches, but my skin glows. It says moisturized all day. It has a gentle botanical smell. It is a splurge but a little goes a long way and lasts for a long time.

Tried the balm and the oil. Not sure which I prefer. Both were very thick and hydrating. The smell is herbal think lavender clary sage. I really liked the smell and it works great in winter. Probably too greasy for summer months.The smaller bottles last forever.
Obsessed with this brand, it just really works well for my mostly dry skin. Their products are seaweed based, which I had an inkling might be beneficial for me after my skin looked amazing after spending a week on a boat with no showers save for jumping in the ocean. Specifically, the ocean milk cleanser is my holy grail cleanser - I haven't switched to another one since I started using it ~2 years ago. I've also tried all their face moisturizers (and swap around which one I use, depending on the season - e..g using the atmosphere cream during the summer and swapping to heavier seabiotic during the winder), as well as their body butter, which feels like an absolute luxury. The price of this brand is definitely on the higher side, but it's worth it to me for the benefits (my face has never looked or felt better/more hydrated) and the investment I choose to make in my skin.

I absolutely love the Osea Body Oil. I wish it wasn't so pricey because it is great on my dry skin and it also absorbs quickly so you aren't sticky like other oils

Price could be less or offer cheaper refills
So far, I’ve loved everything from this brand I’ve tried! I really like how the scents used for their products are light and not overpowering. I can’t go without their face wash anymore! These products are effective yet smell amazing and are nontoxic—I appreciate that so much.
I have loved all of the products I have used by Osea. I’ve made an overhaul of my beauty products and am so happy with the results! Evening skin care and body moisturizers are all incredible.
I have used the ocean cleanser several times over the years. The packaging is glass and minimal. It’s gorgeous. It is very gentle and feels luxurious when you use it. It’s not foaming in case that’s something you like in your cleansers. It’s cooling as well which I love. It is made with essential oils so the fragrance can be strong for some but it does smell good. They also have a recycling program through Terracycle which is a great plus!
I have tried several Osea products and I love their product line. I've tried their ocean cleanser, ocean cleansing mudd, red algae clarifying mask, and seabiotic water cream. Their products aren't cheap but they are stellar when it comes to performance. I have been impressed with everything I've tried. As someone switching to safe and non toxic skincare this is the best option I've found out there.

The Undaria Cleansing Body Polish is perfect! My skin feels so soft, smooth, and refreshed afterwards. I thought it was pricey, but it last awhile, especially since using it once a week has been enough. It's also much gentler than other polishes I've used, which has been great for my dry, sensitive skin.
Love their oil - feels so nice and. The clean citrusy smell is great.
Got the hyalauronic acid serum as a gift and loved the packaging and consistency. Thought it added moisture and plumpness to my skin.
I use the Vagus Nerve Oil. It smells so nice. It’s chamomile and other grounding scents. I love using like 3 pumps and then breathing in the scent before massaging my neck. It makes me feel amazing.
I’ve been a repeat buyer of the serum and liked that it absorbs into my face easily and doesn’t leave a sticky film ( absolute hard no for me w/ serums or primers.) I think it’s too pricey and stopped buying after my dermatologist said it was triggering my breakouts and not non comedogenic no matter what the bottle says.

I love how clean Osea is and that they haven’t sold out to any big names yet. Only caveat for me is the smell of their products. Which is silly when you’re getting a good product, I just have a very sensitive sense of smell! I have sensitive combo skin.
I tested the body oil - I really like the scent, but the texture threw me off a little bit. It feels kind of grainy when rubbing in. The oil moisturized my skin nicely and didn't leave me feeling greasy or like a slime ball. I'd have to test a different bottle to be sure it wasn't just the oil I received that had the weird texture but overall I would say this is a great product or someone who wants a body oil that smells nice and does the job well.
I love their moisturizer and their body oil. The packaging and the products feel luxurious but I think they are a little expensive for what you get.

I love this brand. It’s a little expensive but worth it! The ingredients are amazing, and the products are so nourishing for my skin!

I like the oil. It has a nice light and fresh citrus scent. I keep a small bottle in my car when I need some extra moisture on my legs in the Summer. I also like the fresh herbal scent of the cream. It doesn’t smell fake.
I started out with the starter set of Osea. I really loved it. I'm in my 50's now I have worked in the medical spa industry before so I am used to good products. That being said I loved everything I used and ended up ordering a few more full size products later. I saw the Undaria oil everywhere and needed to try that. I loved it. I felt very spoiled and pampered. I love the packaging. Its glass, it feels rich all the way around. The protective cream was one of my favorites. The ingredients are all things I love and I will be using it from now on.

I like being able to try the smaller starter pack to see what you like and I was given samples to try with my order and I liked that too. You can keep the small bottles for travel and refill with full size. I can't think of anything they can do better other than make it more affordable. I can't order these as much as I would like but ill splurge here and there.
I have used OSEA face wash in the recent past. I absolutely loved this product. The classy presentation in a thick glass bottle drew my initial interest. I used about 2 to 3 pumps to wash my face and neck in the evening. I first dispensed the product into my hands and rubbed my hands together which changed the gel consistency to a slight lather. I then applied the product to my face and neck using a small circular motion. Next, I added warm water to create bubbles and rinsed the wash from my face. My face was left feeling very clean, fresh and instantly soft to the touch. The scent was light and pleasant. I was impressed that I didn't have to remove my makeup before applying OSEA's facial cleanser. The wash both removed my makeup and cleansed my face thoroughly. The small bottle lasted much longer than I had expected as a plus. OSEA's facial wash is my favorite of all time. OSEA is a high end skincare brand that is effective with no harsh ingredients. One word sums it up....Impressive.
