Smooth Perfected Skin with Osmosis Stem Factor Serum and Clear Plus+ Hydrating Mist

Every once in awhile I stumble across a product or products that really just blow me away. Let me tell ya'll, I am so impressed with Osmosis and their Stem Factor Serum! 

Have you heard of Osmosis Skincare? It is a "medical grade" skincare line that is sold in spas and dermatologist's offices and online on sites that specialize in medical grade skincare. Osmosis has a different approach to treating your skin. Rather than attacking aging and breakouts with powerful ingredients that irritate (like most lines do), it targets your skin with healing ingredients that support the health of your skin. 

Honestly, when I started testing out the Stem Factor serum by Osmosis, I did expect it to be good. However, I didn't expect the results to be that noticable...but they were! I have been using the Stem Factor Serum plus the Clear Plus+ Activating Mist for about 2 months and absolutely love the results! My skin has a smooth, clear, even toned, and almost poreless look. It is hydrated and firm and just looks so healthy. It is almost hard to describe. However, it is noticable! I have continued to use my Rx Retin-A during my product testing a few nights a week (as I get fantastic results from that as well). What I think is happening is that they Osmois Stem Factor is healing any dryness, redness, and irritation that is secondary to Retin-A use. My skin has a healthy and plumped look. I feel that my fine lines are smoothed and the tone of my skin is so even and clear. Honestly, I have not had a breakout in forever since using this. Also, my pores are diminished.

My only minor critique is that the packaging is not very luxe for the price. However, since my product testing started, Osmosis has updated their packaging! So, the new packaging is apparently much nicer. I know that packaging is just packaging...however, it I am paying that much for a product, I do expect the packaging to be nice. 

Osmosis Stem Factor:

According to Osmosis, they use advanced technology utilizing exosomes that encapsulate the growth factors and proteins increasing penetration, stability and activating more receptors to enhance results. Over 150 different skin growth factors derived from adult stem cells create this magical serum that improves all aspects of skin aging and skin damage. It gently restores the repair process and stimulates new cells to build collagen and elastin, heal hyperpigmentation and reverse aging.

With the packaging and product makeover, Osmosis Stem Factor will now be called Osmosis +Skincare Growth Factor Serum. From Osmosis: The 'fountain of youth' in a bottle. This one-of-a-kind serum is powered by over 150 different growth factors with advanced technology to rejuvenate, heal, and protect for visibly younger-looking skin after just one use.

Osmosis Clear Plus+ Activating Hydration Mist:

This mist is to be used immediately after Osmosis Serums to enhance penetration of the product and to boost hydration. I just spray into my hands and then pat it onto my face. I do find it to be very soothing to use. According to Osmosis, this product refreshes your complexion to maintain a balanced level of hydration. The spray quickly penetrates the outer dermis of your skin to firm, soothe and moisturize your texture. Hyaluronic acid is the key ingredient in this product.

Clear Plus is being replaced by a product called Osmosis +MD Boost Peptide Activating Mist. Since it is in the MD line, it will only be available by purchasing it through a licensed spa professional/salon.

How I Use Stem Factor and Clear Plus+:

I use these products together to maximize my results. After gently cleansing and washing my face, I apply one pump of Stem Factor in the evening. Immediately after, I spray the Clear Plus+ onto my hands and then pat it on my face. As soon as the products dry down, I top off with a moisturizer. I use these products on "nights off" of using my Retin-a treatment. 

Here is the new packaging:

Honestly, I love these products so much that I am sad that I am almost out of the Stem Factor serum! The product does go quickly and it is very expensive. Stem Factor retails for $130 and Clear Plus+ retails for $30 (I still have a ton of Clear Plus+ left). I am excited about the packaging and brand redesign and relaunch. I am hoping to get to try out the newly launched products and upgraded packaging. I will certainly update this post and give social media updates once I have tried the new products and packaging! :) I think it will certainly be a change for the better. The products themselves are fantastic. So, better packaging would just be the icing on the cake! :) 

Overall, I adore the Osmosis Stem Factor Serum used with the Clear Plus+ Activating Mist and I highly recommend them!

Beautiful Blush from Osmosis + Colour:

You guys know that I just LOVE blush, right? Well, I was super pumped to try out these gorgeous blushes from one of my favorite skincare lines Osmosis. Yes, Osmosis is more than just skincare! Yes, they have makeup, too. 

Osmosis is a brand that I really trust for skincare. They have a very different approach to skincare. They are all about treating the health of the skin naturally with a big focus being on Vitamin-based skincare. I already trust their skincare and have had great results with it. So, it is just a natural extension for me to explore their makeup line. Think about it, your makeup sits on your face all day. So, I want my makeup to have good ingredients, too.

Key Ingredient: Morninga
The powerhouse key ingredient in Osmosis's blush formula is Morninga. What is Moringa exactly? Here is what Osmosis has to say: Meet moringa, a nutrient-rich super green known for its holistic power to fight inflammation both internally and topically. This protein-packed green contains even more nutrients than kale, infusing the skin with vitamins and antioxidants. Originally grown from trees in India, Africa, and South American regions, moringa is rich in protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins like vitamin C, E, and A. This beauty boosting superfood is a multi-tasker, helping to clear skin of acne and keep wrinkles at bay.

Osmosis uses moringa in its oil-form (Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil) to get the most out of the nourishing and age-reversing benefits it delivers to the skin. Now, you can feel great about the makeup you choose, knowing it is chock-full of vitamins and minerals and plenty of antioxidants!

Osmosis Colour Blushes: 
These gorgeous blushes come in nine different shades. They feature a light radiance and a matte finish. The blushes are formulated with mineral pigments which naturally reflect light to create a soft-focus effect. There is nothing like a beautiful pop of blush to give you gorgeous color and illuminate your features while also minimizing the appearance of imperfections. Plus, with the powerhouse Morninga oil, you are getting an anti-aging skin-loving boost as well.

I got to try out the shades Poppy, Spring Crush, Summer Rose, Plum Blossom, Pink Pearl and Tulip. These blushes really are lovely. I like the slim/small packaging. The blush powder is densly pigmented and soft. I find that these wear well and never break me out.

Retails for $27.00 each

These beautiful Osmosis + Color Blushes can be purchased from Amazon luxury here. Happy Shopping! :)

New Favorite Mask: 

Osmosis Tropical Mango Barrier Recovery Mask

It is not everyday that you discover a new skincare favorite!!! That is exactly how I feel about this amazing mask from Osmosis. This mask is instantly soothing and calming. Amazing!!! 

My Skin:

My skin has been *so dry* lately. There has been a stretch of unusually cold weather for Georgia and this has wreaked havoc on my skin. Normally, my skin is combo with mostly normal skin with some oilyness in the t-zone and some dry areas from using Retin-A. I combat the dryness and sensitivity from Retin-A use by using very good and very gentle products. This normally works for me. However, with the extra cold weather, even my fantastic and gentle skincare routine could not hold back the dry flaky skin. So, I decided to look into my arsenal of products for something extra moisturizing and soothing, and I stumbled upon this mask: the Osmosis Tropical Mango Barrier Recovery Mask. I figured it was just what I needed because the dry flaky skin probably means that my skin barrier is compromised. So, I gave it a try and...wow! Instant results. 

Osmosis Tropical Mango Barrier Recovery Mask:

Wow! This mask is amazing! It hydrates and soothes and literally transforms my dry, flaky, and irritated skin. I have literally discovered a new Holy Grail skincare favorite. Now, that does not happen every day. Since discovering this mask, I am now using it weekly as a moisture boost and barrier treatment. This mask allows me to soothe my dehydrated and irritated skin with a creamy, mango scented mask that is rich in fruit and nut butters. 

What are the results that I can see? Instant hydration, instant soothing, and no more dry flakes. It transforms my skin from being dry, flaky, and irritated to being smooth, hydrated, and super soft. In less than ten minutes, it soothes and repairs. I just LOVE it! 

Details about the mask from Osmosis:

  

As a hydrating face mask that soothes inflammation, Osmosis Skincare’s Tropical Mango Barrier Recovery Mask (cruelty-free, vegan, gluten-free) features nut and fruit butters and oils to restore the skin's lipid barrier. This velvety, delectably scented mask features its star ingredient Mango Seed Butter, while other key ingredients like Sunflower Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, Murumuru Seed Butter, and Olive Fruit Oil calm and hydrate.  

With ingredients rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-inflammatory properties, skin is soothed and replenished, helping return moisture and nutrients back into the skin. This oncology friendly, creamy face mask will ease irritated, dehydrated, and rosacea skin conditions.

How I Use:

• First, I gently cleanse my skin with a hydrating fragrance-free face wash and then gently pat dry.
• Next, I apply a think layer of the Osmosis Tropical Mango mask to my face avoiding the eye area. 
• I relax and allow the mask to dry down for just less than 10 minutes. 
• Then, I gently splash my face with tepid water and wet a wash cloth and gently remove the mask.
• I follow up with my usual skincare routine: hyaluronic acid gel, moisturizer, and Retin-A. 

I totally love this Osmosis Tropical Mango Mask! If you are looking for something to soothe and hydrate, you need this mask! It retails for $50, which is pricey for a mask. However, you really only need a very small amount for each use. So, a jar should last you a long time!
