OSMOSIS CORRECT Preventative Retinal Facial Serum, Collagen Booster for Youthful, Radiant Skin for Aging, Pigmented, and Dry Skin, 1 Fl Oz

I’ve never tried this brand before, but as a skincare addict, I got curious. (And honestly, the name Osmosis reminded me of my water filter system—haha! I know it’s a silly reason, but that’s what made me request this one in the end.) I’ve been taking good care of my skin to prevent lines from forming or becoming prominent, especially now that I’m in my 30s. I believe consistent care is way more important than using something expensive for just a couple of weeks.I’ve been using this serum at night only, before applying my sleeping cream. That’s partly because I have oily-combination skin that’s also a bit sensitive, and this product is technically for dry skin. So far, I haven’t had any adverse reactions, and I didn’t notice any negative effects from switching to this serum, which is definitely a good sign! I’m not sure how effective it would be for reversing existing skin damage, but I feel it’s doing well in terms of its advertised preventative benefits. I’ll update my review if anything noteworthy happens by the time I finish the whole bottle.By the way, if you’ve never tried a retinol facial serum and you're not in your 20s anymore, it might be time to start exploring your options. :)

The Osmosis Correct Serum arrived attractively packaged in a covered, pump container. Directions are precise. Although it's not a problem, I was a little surprised when I saw the orange color flecked with red. There is also a pleasant, citrusy aroma. After my nightime cleansing routine, I applied the suggested two pumps but found my skin felt sticky. As directed on the bottle, I followed with my regular night and eye creams. I must have accidentallyt gotten some of the serum on my lips because the next morning they were discolored and exceedingly dry & chapped. Consequently, care is advised. Unfortunately, as with other retinol products I have tried, it appears to be reddening my skin so I will probably discontinue usage.

I use this daily. I love the way my skin fells. I feel it helps to hold off some effects of aging.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the Osmosis, Correct serum. I really like the packaging. The product was fully sealed within the box.I was somewhat surprised by the texture and sent of the serum, but did not find it offputting. I used two pumps and smoothed, and then waited for a few minutes to allow it to fully absorb the product onto my clean face and neck, allowing it a few moments to be fully absorbed. I then applied a face cream over it. My skin felt lovely and when I woke up in the morning, it looked great. I splashed my face with cold water and patted my skin dry. I never wash my face in the morning.Then I reapplied the serum, allowed it to sink in, then put on my day lotion. After that had settled, I went ahead and put on my make up as usual. 10 hours later my skin feels and looks great. I will continue with this regime in the future.

This is a really thick, smooth, orange serum that glides onto my skin. I use it after my shower and before applying my Osmosis face and neck cream. They work amazing together to boost my skins moisture and keep my skin glowing. It has a light, pleasant scent that is not overpowering (this is important to me because I can't stand strong smells of any kind). The price is on the high end and only time will tell if it is truly worth the cost.Price at purchase: $92

I am not a fan of this serum. I had to stop using after just a couple of days due to causing me to have acne breakouts, which cleared up a couple of days after I stopped using it. The scent is earthly mixed with citrusy, something I personally found unpleasant and I could smell it on myself throughout the day and at night while trying to sleep. The serum left my skin feeling stiff and sticky, even after applying a moisturizer afterwards, and the orange color of the serum made me look like I was using a cheap self tanner (yes I only used two pumps as recommended on the bottle). Overall, not a good experience with this serum.

Update:I discontinued using this, this was making my face even more discolored, I had tiny bumps over my face and I don't think its worth it.With all skincare, one needs at least a month or two to see any visible results. I am going to be more critical with this mainly because of the heavy price tag.This goes on well, absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves a slight shiny look on the face. I would recommend using this in the evening after you know you wont be leaving your home until the next morning.But here's where I am right now. I don't know if this is doing anything for me. I'll update my review if I see any more results, if I don't update it'll mean I saw no results.

This serum is very thick and hydrating but not greasy. It leaves my skin feeling very moisturized but does not leave any kind of residue. The serum itself has a brownish yellow tinge which I do notice on my skin but it is so faint it doesn’t bother me. I really feel like I see the retinol working - it means I need to exfoliate more often because my skin cells are turning over quickly and I notice dead skin coming off.
