As titled -- I'm going to run out of my Osea Eyes & Lips soonish, and I'm looking for a replacement that is much more economical. (Ideally something I can get at EDS or Sephora for the bonuses/freebies/discounts!)
I know Avalange uses the Earth Science Azulene cream sometimes as an Eyes & Lips alternative -- anyone else have a good similar suggestion? I'm going for something natural, gentle and moisturizing with no super-strong "active" ingredients (except maybe caffeine, which I'm OK with) and with no silicones or chemical sunscreens.
I used to use 100% Pure's cream, but honestly, the packaging and the fact of only being able to order through them annoy me. Plus I don't find their cream as moisturizing as Osea. |

Just saw that I had written this way back when, and realized I never did find a replacement! Little forum bump -- any Eyes & Lips fans have an alternative idea for me?
One little note is that Eyes & Lips also really stings if it gets in my eyes -- not sure what ingredient or combo of ingredients is doing that, but owie! |

Can you tell me what is you like about the Osea Eyes & Lips? I'm in the market for that type of product, but am having a hard time narrowing down my choices !!
Sorry - not much help to you as far as giving you another option  |

That's OK Time! I like that it's gentle (on the skin, maybe not the eyeball, haha), keeps my eye area moist/plumped for quite a while after application, and is full of natural yet effective actives and base ingredients, and is neither too un-emollient or too emollient for me -- i.e. I don't get milia, breakouts, etc. from this stuff but it does seem to help with my beginning fine lines.
What I *don't* like is the price point, and the fact that I use so little that I worry about the stability of the product by the time I get to the end of the bottle. I'm also not wild about the plastic packaging, but oh well.
Hope this helps you make a decision! |

Thank you for your response !!!
You've raised a good point. While I am willing to spend some money on a product that will last, I hadn't thought of it expiring before I have the chance to use it.
I broke down and started a thread asking for eye cream recommendations. I really liked the idea of it being able to use it for both eyes and lips. I'm starting to see some fine lines over my mouth as well.
Osea is definitely on my short list at this point. Have a good day |
