Here's a step-by-step guide to help you unlock and use your pump effectively:

1. Hold your product firmly to prevent it from spinning as you try to unlock the pump.
2. Locate the small white plastic circle right below the pump's neck and hold it tightly.
3. Using your other hand, turn the pump counter clockwise to unlock it. Note that you do not need to push down while you twist, as our pumps do not 'pop up' once unlocked.
4. To prime the pump, press down a few times until the product dispenses.

    Litlle goes a long way!

    Just one ot two pumps and it doesnt foam. I just wet my face, rub it all around and leave it on for about a minute and wash it off. Such a easy cleanser that I know the good ingredients are doing the work and nourishing my skin. My face feels soft and cleansed. Its doenst feel dry like I stripped my skin or nutrients and protection.

    Horrible smell

    After reading the last few reviews I decided to say something as well. I have enjoyed all the products at Osea for at least 2 years now. I just received my Ocean Cleanser and I'm very disappointed with the smell. I understand it has seaweed in it but Osea needs to go back to the old formula! I used to feel like I was in the spa while washing my face with the cleanser but not now, I can't wait to get it off my face. I'm not sure if I'll ask to return it but I think I need to find another brand for my cleanser. PLEASE Osea do not change your moisturizers! Otherwise, I think a lot of customers including myself will leave.

    Very disappointed with the new formula

    I absolutely loved this cleanser for the past few years. After receiving my most recent subscription order, I reached out to customer service because my new ocean cleanser had a terrible smell as if it had gone rancid, and it also had gritty sediment in each pump. Thinking it had gone bad, they agreed to send me a new one in exchange for me returning mine so they could do test on it to see what had gone wrong.

    I was surprised to find that the new bottle they sent me was exactly the same. Gritty sediment and terrible smell. Confused, I went to the comment section and found that they changed their formula end of last year, and many others were commenting the very same about the new formula. The troubling part is that customer service assured me this product should not have any gritty sediment, so why is it part of the new formula?

    Disappointed I’ll have to look for a new cleanser after loving this one for years, and I’m considering looking into a new skin care brand for face care because I feel these products are not as good as they used to be especially for the price point. While pricey, their body care is still great.

    I know they often reply too bad reviews stating that these products are natural and thus might have changes in color and smell, but this still doesn’t explain why customer service told me there should be no sediment in this product and that seems to be one of his new traits. Not sure if they were being dishonest or some thing else is going on, but it makes…

    Somethings different

    I agree with other reviews here, my bottle of cleanser used to be a fresh pail creamy greenish color, now it's very muddy looking. Another reviewer shows the 2 different colors in 2 different bottles. Im afraid to spend the money again, but maybe I'll order the smaller size first to see what color product arrives. Im disappointed as this was my cleanser for years, I would hate to move on to something else. Customer Service should heed these reviews.

    Used to love this cleanser but something has changed

    I’ve purchased this cleanser multiple times over the years. It had such a pleasant smell and feel to it. I purchased a bottle earlier this year and it was different. It had pretty much no smell to it. Not necessarily, bad, just lacked the smell I loved. I didn’t think too much of it. Thought maybe it was a bad batch or maybe was an old bottle that was past its prime by the time it got to me. But I just purchased another bottle this past week and this time it actually smells pretty bad and didn’t really have that rich feel. I have to unfortunately say I’m pretty disappointed that the formula was changed (as I now see in the comments here). I think I’ll have to watch the comments in the future and see if it’s changed back before I purchase again :/

    Changed the formula

    Why??? I'm so upset to see that the formula has changed! It used to smell light, clean, and fruity, but now it smells like a band-aid! I was scared Osea was going to change this cleanser after they touched my beloved moisturizer. So upsetting. I can't see how this is an upgrade when their scents went from grapefruit & lime to band-aid and medicinal cream.

    Not the right product for dry skin

    I thought this cleanser was going to be gentle on my skin but actually made it extremely dry, specifically around my lips. Like burning. Right now, I am trying to put a moisturizer to help with the burning sensation.
