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, one 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.
Bidens Pilosa Extract is a Bio Retinol that activates the same receptor in your skin as retinol, providing retinol-like benefits without the associated irritation.
There is no need to start slowly or avoid specific ingredients (for example: AHAs or BHAs) like you would with other retinol products.

- RRanaRated 2 out of 5 starsYesterdayEffective, but unbearably smelly.
Sad to say this is the most effective moisturizer I've ever used...and also the worst smelling. Smells like a moldy, dirty hand towel and gives me a headache like actual mold. I really, really wish that wasn't the case as it's an excellent moisturizer.
- EEllenVerified ReviewerRated 1 out of 5 stars6 days agoSmell is awful
I’ve purchased this cream before and really liked it, but something has changed and the smell is so bad. I cannot use it. I tried it two different times and both times I had to wash my face and anything that had been near my face, like my pillowcase, because it smells so terrible. Unfortunately, I will have to throw this out.
- CChristyVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoTruly the best
I don’t ever write reviews, but after using this cream for a few months now (and seeing reviews on the scent), I have to. Firstly, I don’t know what all the reviews are about the scent — I truly don’t feel as though there is one! There is no added fragrance in this product, and to me, it just smells “natural”. If you are sensitive to fragrance, I think you’ll love this moisturizer.
Secondly, I have tried so many other less expensive facial moisturizers, but cannot find one that moisturizes my dry/combo, 46 yo skin like the Advanced Protection Cream does. I hate spending this much money, but to me it is worth it. I hate having dry skin, and this cream is like a drink of water. Not to mention it makes my skin look and feel amazing.
If you are on the fence, get the sample size and try it for a few days. You will see and feel a difference after the first use; that was the clincher for me! Bottom line, if you are in need of moisture on your face and can’t find anything that does the trick, this could be the one for you. I use it morning and night — and a little goes a long way — but it does only last me about a month.

- KGKathy G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoPerfect Moisturizer for Dry skin

- ACAimee C.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars1 month agoGreat cream but terrible smell
The cream is great but the smell makes it where I don’t use it as much and I’m someone who can deal with most anything. I tried to mix it with the body oil to try and help
The smell but it still smells terrible.
- TTamikaRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month ago5 Stars
I love this overnight cream. My husband hates the smell but, it works so great on my skin that I don’t care about the smell.
- SCSheryl C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoLove this product!
After having a facial 5 years ago where I was introduced to Osea products - I could not be happier with my skin care.
- MMaryRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month ago5 Stars
A very nice cream, but I can no longer afford to buy it.
