H2O Plus Review: Sea Pure

Today I am reviewing the latest launch in skincare by H2O +....The Sea Pure Line!! I am all for trying new and effective skin products, and H2O + offers them all!

You can find H2O + Products at http://www.h2oplus.com/ and get $10 off your entire H2O Plus purchase of $30 or more from 11/1 to 11/20 when you enter promo code 100275



Here is the prescribed "Ritual"


Step 1: Cleanser

Sea Pure Creamy Facial Cleanser
4 fl oz / 118 mL




This is what they claim:
A creamy, foaming cleanser that gently washes away makeup and impurities without stripping the skin's natural oils with Cell-Renewing Amino Acids, Apple Proteins and Sea Moss

•Scientifically formulated with marine-sourced amino acids to minimize the appearance of fine lines and stimulate healthy cell growth
•Nourishing sea moss deeply hydrates the skin and helps improve resiliency
•Soft foaming action effortlessly removes makeup, surface debris and environmental impurities
•Essential citrus oils refresh and revive
•Gentle enough for all skin types


***CAN BE USED TO CLEAN MAKEUP BRUSHES***

I honestly love this cleanser! It is a creamy/foamy cleanser and it DOES leave your face very smooth. I even noticed alight reduction in pore size! A sime sized dollop is more than plenty! I prefer to use this in the morning, but I have been incorporating it at night and it does make a difference!



Sea Pure Gentle Refining Polish
2.5 fl oz / 75 mL





A gently exfoliating scrub massages away dull surface cells to reveal visibly brighter, smoother, glowing skin with bamboo extract and sea moss

•Scientifically formulated with marine-sourced amino acids to minimize fine lines and stimulate healthy cell growth
•Fine-grained bamboo extract softly polishes the epidermal layer to accelerate cell renewal and uncover younger-looking skin
•Nourishing sea moss deeply hydrates the skin and helps improve resiliency
•Gentle enough for all skin types
***APPLY BEFORE A TREATMENT MASK FOR BEST RESULTS***


This face exfoliant is very gentle. I use it once a week and I do like it. IT has very fine beads and a thick texture to it, and as you are applying it, you can definitely feel the moisturizing effect. I would recommend using this at least once a week.




Sea Pure Renewing Prep Tonic
7 fl oz / 210 mL




An alcohol-free toner to revitalize skin and enhance the effectiveness of moisturizers with Cell-Renewing Amino Acids, Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Sea Moss

•Scientifically formulated with marine-sourced amino acids to minimize the look of fine lines and stimulate healthy cell growth
•Natural lactic acid dissolves dull surface cells to visibly smooth, brighten and prepare skin to optimally absorb moisture
•Nourishing sea moss deeply hydrates the skin and helps improve resiliency
•Gentle enough for all skin types

This toner is very, very good. It has a citrus scent to it, but it is rather faint and it does not linger too long. I DID see traced of makeup after wiping my face with it....even though I always use a makeup remover prior to cleansing! It also leaves the skin very soft to the touch and hydrated.


The only thing I do not completely like is the packaging. This comes with a pump (think handsoap) and it is very difficult to get produt onto a cotton pad. I discovered that pumping it out while holding the bottle horizontally works best. The good thing is that rather than quirting the toner out it lets it out one drop at a time. Packaging is not bad at all and i rather have it like this than a screw top cap, because i am to clumsy and spill everything!



Sea Pure Perfecting Eye Cream




A fast-absorbing eye cream formulated to help visibly repair and refresh the delicate skin around the eyes with cell-renewing amino acids, jojoba seed extract and Atlantic sea flora

•Targeted formula fades the look of wrinkles and helps tired eyes appear bright and refreshed
•Scientifically formulated with marine-sourced amino acids to minimize the look of fine lines and stimulate healthy cell growth
•Water-rich Atlantic sea flora combines with emollient coconut and jojoba seed extracts to visibly smooth and maintain soft, supple skin
•Gentle enough for all skin types

***CAN BE APPLIED TO UPPER LIP TO COMBAT FINE LINES***

This is the best thing ever! It has an extremely light texture, as if it were watery, but it does have viscosity. It is not greasy at all and absorbs immediately, leaving the eye area super hydrated and NOT oily.


I have issues with eyecreams because if they are too rich, I get a case of Millia Seed that takes a long time to clear, and gel-based creams are not hydrating enough, making me struggle with concealers etc. I use this morning and night! no Millia seed at all and eyes are moisturized and happy. A little goes a loooooong way! I just gently tap my ring finger in it and pat away.




Sea Pure Deep Moisture Cream
1.7 fl oz / 50 mL

An intensely nourishing cream that helps visibly repair damaged skin and stimulates healthy cell growth with cell-renewing amino acids, jojoba seed extract and Atlantic sea flora


•Scientifically formulated with marine-sourced amino acids to minimize the look of fine lines and stimulate healthy cell growth
•Water-rich Atlantic Sea Flora combines with emollient coconut and jojoba seed extracts to visibly smooth and maintain soft, supple skin
•Gentle enough for all skin types
***USE AS A CUTICLE MOISTURIZER***

This is a HG for dry skin! It is so robust and invigorating! It moisturizes very, very well. I use this every other day simply because I have weird skin. It is oily, sometimes dry, some times i breakout, etc. I have not had a breakout related to this moisturizer at all. It really packs on moiture, and although it is robust (in my opinion) it is not greasy, but you definitely feel the moisture.


In addition, I received 3 sample sized products:

1) Face Oasis™ Hydrating Treatment

•Rapidly plumps and restores depleted skin, helping to distribute vital daily moisture
•Scientifically formulated with marine-sourced nutrients to minimize the look of fine lines and stimulate healthy cell growth
•Sea-derived essential minerals work synergistically with Sea Mineral Complex, a patented, scientifically advanced delivery system to ensure vital nutrients are rapidly absorbed at the cellular level

***place in fridge for a cooling mask***


This is a Must-have! It is gel based and not greasy at all. It DOES moisturize, the oily skin gods have answered my complaints! This is MOISTURE in a GEL and NON-OILY....Too good to even make sense! 'Nough Said!

2) Sea Results Line Mender

Time-released cream moisturizer that softens the look of fine lines and helps improve elasticity with Anti-Aging Marine Blend and Marine Micropatch Technology

•Advanced formula reduces the look of expression lines and firms the appearance of sagging skin •Vital nutrients derived from sea minerals and plant extracts help soften the skin and improve elasticity
•Patented Sea Mineral Complex ensures vital nutrients are rapidly absorbed at the cellular level to heighten the efficacy of marine-derived ingredients

I am still testing this out. I have noticed fine lines between the brows and on the forehead. Reason being: I use those mucles way too much as I speak! I am praying this works, because although wrinkles and ageing are inevitable, I want to do so gracefully =)


3) Sea Results Deep Sleep Recovery Cream

A luxurious oil-free overnight gel-cream to renew and soften skin with Anti-Aging Marine Blend and marine collagen

•Marine collagen and kudzu root extract richly hydrate, firm and tone, promoting a youthful, rested appearance
•Vital nutrients derived from sea minerals and plant extracts help soften the skin and improve elasticity
•Patented Sea Mineral Complex ensures vital nutrients are rapidly absorbed at the cellular level to heighten the efficacy of marine-derived ingredients


This REALLY is OIL-Free and feels wonderfully. So far I like both of them, but i feel like the GEL based is by far the most hydrating....so I use both at once =)
Final Thought: I really love this line! My skin did not react to it, which is a plus. Using them together has made me skin smoother and brighter. I has a couple breakouts the day i started with this, and by morning, they were less noticeable, and cleared soon after. I am not saying this is an acne treatment, but i feel it helped me a little.
In reality, i do not think these are too expenssive, given the quality of it. The jars are rather large, and even though it may seem as if it were too much, i honeslty do not think it is, simply because both creams will last a long time!
I will definitely purchase this when i run out, including the Hydrating Treatment Gel. I did take some close up pics of my fine lines (eho am i kidiing? they are wrinkles lol) and i will post the before and after so we call all see the difference.
Please do check out their website, this line has 5 star ratings across the board!
Have you guys heard of this skincare line? tried it? are perhaps considering it??

FTC: I was sent this samples for review consideration by BeautyStat. I am not beig compensated to review these products. All opinions are 100% honest.
