Reviews Summary
Generated by AI from 100 most recent customer reviews
Last updated 2 months ago
Customers say this cleanser effectively removes makeup while leaving skin soft and hydrated. Many reviews mention its gentle formula and refreshing scent. While most use it as a first cleanse, some note it works well alone. The lightweight texture impresses users, though a few prefer a thicker consistency.

Incredible!
- JBJulie B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoClean, Gentle, Effective — OSEA Does It Again
As a long-time OSEA customer I’ve trusted this brand with my skincare for years—and they continue to exceed my expectations. The Ocean Cleanser has been a staple in my routine for ages, but the new Ocean Wave Cleanser is truly something special.
It’s the perfect balance of refreshing, gentle, and effective—leaving my skin feeling clean, healthy, and never stripped. The texture is luxurious, and I love knowing that every ingredient is clean and thoughtfully selected. OSEA continues to prove that high-performance skincare doesn’t have to come with harsh chemicals.
The Ocean Wave Cleanser is a beautiful addition to my OSEA collection, and I’m so impressed with how it enhances my routine. If you’re already a fan of OSEA or looking to upgrade to skincare that truly delivers, this one’s a must-try. Superior quality, beautiful results, and a brand I trust completely.
Thank you, OSEA, for continuing to raise the bar!
- JMJennifer M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoSwitched from Cleansing Milk
I made the decision to try the Wave Cleanser and I am so glad I did. I am 58 years old, been using OSEA since 2017 and have tried other brands at less cost once/twice; always going back to OSEA. The Wave Cleanser leaves my skin soft and moisturized throughout the day (I do apply the advanced protection cream +night or hyaluronic serums after washing). Also, this formula seems to take off the makeup better than the milk cleanser. I wear a lot of 24hr matte lipsticks and can remove each night without scrubbing my face. I am sold on this OSEA product!

I love this cleanser. Ut keeps my skin healthy and glowing
- AHAva H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoOMG! Game changer!
I first ordered this cleanser 4 months ago and really wanted to see the effects before I wrote a review. I must say, this product does not disappoint. The way my skin looks and feels is one of a kind! I noticed my skin is brighter, softer and feels amazing! I pair with the ocean cleanser and find that cleansing morning and evening has really taken my skin to another level!!
