Hi everyone, after a little break from EDS, I am back. i finally finished school but am unfortunately studying for a big test called the bar .
I feel a bit haggard since starting this hardcore study routine and remember Avalange's youthfulness and her raves for Osea products. I just need a new product actually, i haven't bought a skin care product in a couple months, which is amazing for me.
I am trying to decide between the atmosphere protection cream and the advanced protection cream, and have been reading reviews on both but am not sure which one to choose. One is much more expensive than the other so i am wondering what would be more appropriate for me at 26.
Avalange, did you always just start with the advanced formula?
any other comments from users would be appreciated, thanks a bunch.

Hi Kristen!
AS far as I know, I and all of my friends started with the advanced protection cream when we were about 26-27. I had used the atmosphere protection cream before, but my boyfriends always seemed to like it more than I did. If you want a no-nonsense, nicely scented, light moisturizer to go under makeup and sunscreen, atmosphere's your cream. BUT if you want something in the line of these 'super-creams,' which somehow, some way, manage to achieve several possible feats in one fell swipe, the advanced is your cream. Advanced is of an almost tacky texture, goes on thickly, but dries to a nicely, dewy-matte finish. It tones the skin (you can feel your skin firming) and makes it glow. It has all sorts of goodies in it. Personally, I's get the advanced protection cream because it is so multi-purpose, and because you can thin it out with HA and/or oils or even with SKB (although it basically has that in it already) in the summer or for daytime. Then you can use it once or twice per week as a night cream, too, full strength.
Put it this way: atmosphere protection cream would be the kind of cream you layer under makeup, etc... Advanced, the kind of cream you can't wait to put on after you've taken off your sunscreen and know you are going to a party that night... It's just lovely.
I'm not so sure I really appreciated advanced protection cream until I really began to see signs of aging, but I'm sure glad I used it through my twenties regardless.
I hope that helps... I could wax poetic forever, but I'll leave it up to others to weigh in as well! I know some people have really preferred the atmopshere.

Hi Miss Avalange,
it seems like the advanced protection is what i should get as i have leftover GoW base cream and PSF moisturizer and i can use those during the daytime under my sunscreen and makeup.
do you think it would be much for someone with oilier skin (i have drier cheeks)? i am not too worried about it being sticky and greasy as i plan to wear it at night.
Oh, i forgot to mention, i saw your osea review on MUA and you look so lovely and definitely still in your 20s as well as your grandma's too! i am looking forward to starting on the Advanced protection cream since yall started at 26-27.
I am gonna be out of my cellcosmet eye cream pretty soon, and your rave for the osea one has left me wanting it badly.
Thanks for your answer, i appreciate it!
Kristen~ |
