Skincare Replenish Antioxidant Serum

This product definitely softens the texture of my skin. I use it twice daily, followed by sunscreen/moisturizer in morning, and night moisturizer before bed.

Great quality for the price

The first thing you might notice on this is the price tag, particularly for a single ounce. That's not unusual for quality ingredients. That and it's holistically formulated. It's also a London company so I kind of expect it. I did have concerns about authenticity as I saw prices all over the place, but it's $86 and appears to be direct from Osmosis here and the same price as direct. Immediate cons for me are that the lot number doesn't pull up and it doesn't show how many months to toss it. It is cruelty free, but I thought all US sold items had to have a stamp of when to toss to prevent germ and bacteria growth. It is a sampler, so perhaps that's different. Instructions say to shake it very well, and I do every time I use it. I don't think it's really all that thin myself. Perhaps it's because I am sure to shake it up. I only use 2 pumps and think this will likely last me a couple of months. I haven't seen huge results, but it feels nice. It has a citrus scent, which my cats hate, and I always wash my hands, but I feel like that added citrus is helping tone and give me a cleaner look. The full ingredients list isn't bad and has a lot of goodies, but there are a few concerns for the face. The ones I would worry about are alcohol and denatured alcohol but I'm sure those are for antimicrobials. Also in this formulation for the face of slight concern is the grapefruit and lemon fruit peel oils. They aren't doing much in the wheelhouse of vitamin C and instead are just oils to make it smell nice which can be irritating. A non issue for me. I always use clean hands, two pumps, and shake well. I'd get this again if I continue to be thrilled with results. I do add a sunscreen because the oils can be phototoxic and irritate when in the sun and daytime. I'm still checking the lot number so I'll update if anything changes in the negative but appears authentic otherwise.

If you have ever used a product that causes you to touch your face periodically throughout the day because it feels so velvety, that is what you can expect from Osmosis REPLENISH Antioxidant Infusion serum. This delivers deep hydration, sand radiant skin and antioxidant protection. I am also using Osmosis HYDRATE Plumping Moisturizer and the combination is fabulous for me. I have mature skin and usually don’t wear foundation every day, so it is important to use anti-aging products that deliver deep hydration and a smooth finish like this line does. This line of cosmeceuticals was developed in London but this lot was manufactured in the US. REPLENISH serum contains many holistic ingredients, mainly botanical extracts, that are new to me and a gentle way to block carcinogens and free radicals. For people who are conscious about limiting chemical use in products, this is an excellent choice. It does contain some of my favorite gentle antiaging ingredients – lactic acid, beta glucan, niacinamide and peptides. This serum has some body to it and spreads easily. The color reminds me of a creamsicle and the scent is the citrusy with subtle notes of honeysuckle and wood oil, very organic smelling and not offensive. Heavy floral sense will give me a headache, and this fragrance does not bother me at all. I like using the serum most in the a.m., after my vitamin C, which is a thinner serum, and before moisturizer. It minimizes the look of fine lines on my face, makes skin feel plump and more elastic, and look radiant. This is a 1 ounce luxe looking pump bottle. It is a bit pricey but what I have come to expect from a luxury cosmeceutical. I have had no irritation and will be cherishing every drop of this! Highly recommend.

I was so excited to try this out but when I got it I was a little disappointed. When something has a luxury price you expect it to have luxe packaging. It just felt very light and plastic-y. So I decided to use it as part of my night time skincare routine and only used toner and moisturizer that I use all the time so that my opinion would not be effected. There was a scent but it didn't bother me. I used two pumps of an amber colored gel that spread over my skin so it was very easy to use. My skin felt fine. So far, so good. And then it happened. My skin has been very sensitive lately and when I saw a couple of the ingredients like witch hazel, I grew worried. The little bumps that come and go on my face depending what I use were back with a vengance and my cheeks were bright red. I was forced to wash it off and I was so disappointed. I can't say if what type of skin it is good for. I just know it didn't work for me
