Featured Review
The Best Moisturizer I’ve Ever Used"Out with the old. I used La Mer for decades, but I’ve become more aware of endocrine disruptors in skincare. I was disappointed to learn that, despite its steep price, La Mer is not a clean brand. I’ve since moved to OSEA I use the Atmosphere Protection for day and the Advanced Protection for night, layering both over hyaluronic acid serum and wow, my skin drinks this up! This is easily one of the best, if not the best, moisturizers I’ve ever used. It’s intensely moisturizing with a luxurious finish that feels divine. This is my favorite product in the line so far, hands down a keeper." — Cabas C.

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.
