Feels great, smells great!
This is really comfortable for my slightly drier skin, it has a very subtle smell that just seems clean and it can be used with water or without. I alternate between this cleanser and the Ocean Cleanser depending on how my skin is doing and while I love both, this one doesn't remove makeup as effectively and that's the only reason I didn't give it a full five stars. If I have makeup on (or sunscreen) I feel like I need to remove that first with this cleanser. It does a great job on bare skin, though!

Love product issue with packaging
Although I love the product the pump did not operate properly upon delivery. I had to use my previous pump.

Best Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
I love this cleanser so much. I’ve been using it since 2020 and have gone through countless bottles of it. I have very sensitive skin, acne prone skin, and get eczema flare ups when I’m stressed or ate gluten. This cleanser calms my skin so much and adds moisture back in. Now it’s not going to leave your skin moisturized like an actual lotion would, but it doesn’t feel stripped and the skin feels soft and smooth. It’s a great carrier for the Osea powder exfoliating scrub as well. I really noticed the improvement in my skin when I accidentally bought the regular Ocean Cleanser from Osea and my skin was noticeably more rough. I will say, I find I need 2-3 pumps per use of this cleanser for it to lather properly on my face. It is spendy, but how many times have we a said we would spend whatever it cost to have clear skin?? This is the one that worked for me to calm my acne down to hormonal breakouts only, so to me it’s worth it and I’ll keep buying! Thankful that Nordstrom sells this so when I run out I can just run to my local store to get a new bottle.
