FAQs

Our skincare products are made with naturally derived ingredients to provide the best benefits for your skin. Advanced Protection Cream is fragrance-free, meaning there is no fragrance or essential oils added. However, you may detect a scent from some of the naturally derived ingredients in this formula.

One’s olfactory receptors (or sense of smell) differ from person to person so it is hard to describe what you might smell in a fragrance-free formula, but it could best be described as a bit “earthy” or “medicinal”. Please note the scent does not affect the product’s quality or efficacy.

It’s a rich, luxurious cream.

Advanced Protection Cream leaves skin deeply moisturized and nourished without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.

The bio-retinol in our Advanced Protection Cream is an extract derived from bidens pilosa plant that acts as a safer, stable alternative to retinol, and visibly improves lines and wrinkles without irritation.

There is no need to start slowly or avoid specific ingredients (for example: AHAs or BHAs) like you would with other retinol products.

Packaging: Jar is made of frosted glass.

    Luxe face cream

    One star off for the off-putting smell, particularly since this is being used on my face. However, the product itself is lovely. A great moisturizer at night time for dry or combo skin.

    Moisturizes but not firming

    I’ve been using the advanced protection cream and the advanced repair eye cream for about 2-weeks. I haven’t noticed many changes to my skin in regard to firmness, wrinkles, etc. The smell is different but not horrible. Moisturizes well. Hoping after a few more weeks, I’ll be able to detect more positive changes. Overall, feeling a bit disappointed by the price point but willing to give it more time.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Julie. We’re always striving to improve and your thoughts make a difference. At OSEA, we use both essential oils and natural fragrances to create the aromas in our products. Essential oils are aromatic extracts concentrated from plants that retain the essence of their origin. Natural fragrance is a blend of aromatic compounds and essential oils extracted from different parts of plants including flowers and fruits. Because of these natural ingredients, the scent of the Advanced Protection Cream can sometimes change over time and may occasionally bring forward a seaweed aroma. This natural variation does not impact the quality or effectiveness of the product!

    4th bottle for this 39 year old...amazing!

    Moisturizing but horrible smell

    Tried this for the first time last night before going to bed. Loved the creamy texture as I massaged it on my face, but then noticed the smell -- horrible. But I pushed through the night because I really want the cream to work. Smelled my hands this morning upon waking and the rancid smell persisted (on my hands from massaging it into my face). Checked the jar to smell it and confirmed it was in fact malodorous.

    I took the time to read the ingredients list in attempt to figure out which natural ingredient could possibly smell like this, but can't figure it out. It reminds me of rancid shea butter-based hand moisturizers that have gone bad after a year.

    Product description on website says scent can vary... that it could be described as "earthy" or "medicinal" but I strongly disagree. Either this is a bad batch (especially given 2 others have left a similar review), or we have extremely differing descriptions of earthy/medicinal.

    Struggling whether to place menthol up my nose to counter the horrible smell or return the product. Just very disappointed because I really wanted to give this product a try given all the great reviews of its moisturizing ability.

    Smelly

    I am a 63 yo new OSEA Malibu user. I have to write to add my name to the number of reviewers who say this cream is so smelly as to hardly be usable. I love the feel and all other aspects. But I don’t wear it in the daytime unless I have nothing to do, as I don’t want people to think I stink. The anti-aging body balm is a dream and smells ocean lovely. Sure wish they could bring that scent to this smelly cream.
