Oh what a journey my skincare routine has been lately! Back in December I did a review of some lipstick from a line called Osmosis. You can read that review HERE. When I was doing my research on the product line I discovered some skincare products that I thought sounded very promising. I found a location in my area that uses the Osmosis Skincare products in their facials and scheduled an appointment. Just in case you are reading this and live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and are looking for a wonderful facial, contact Skin by Naz. If you’re not in my area, then go to the Osmosis website and find a location near you that carries the line.
Osmosis Skincare was developed by Dr. Ben Johnson. He used a holistic skincare approach in creating the line. I’ve watched several of his videos and I’m trying to become more educated on making better choices in the products that I use. This includes products on the outside as well as on the inside. I find the line to be quite fascinating because there is so much science behind it that makes perfect sense to me.
These are some of the products that I’m using from Osmosis. Shhh… Don’t tell my husband!
Since entering the land of menopause a few months back my skin has changed. I’ve recently been fighting a little battle with adult acne. Dr. Johnson talks about the underlying causes of acne. In my case the acne seemed to be completely hormonal. As I continue to get my hormones in check, I’ve changed up my basic skincare routine. I’m using mostly Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare products. The line is quite extensive and is meant to treat skin conditions at the source.
Dr Johnson says “Here at Osmosis, we have found that our unique philosophy of natural exfoliation, liposomal delivery, immune system restoration, DNA repair, advanced collagen stimulation and skin nutrition enhancement dramatically affect the health and rejuvenation of the skin.”
For today’s post I’m going to focus on the cleansers that I’m using. I first started off using Purify, which is an enzyme cleanser. I used it both morning and evening. It’s a nice gel type of cleanser than doesn’t get all sudsy on the face. It has a wonderful mild fragrance that smells fresh and clean and slightly fruity. Key ingredients include Bromelain, Papain and Kiwi Kumquat Surfactant Blend. The 1.7 fluid ounce size retails for $21.
I recently switched to the Deep Clean cleanser. I felt like my skin has changed in the last few weeks to be a little drier and this one seems to make my skin feel better to me after rinsing. It was beginning to feel a little bit taut with the Purify. The Deep Clean is a detox cleanser. The key ingredient is Coconut Surfactants. It also feels like a liquid cleanser and doesn’t foam up. This cleanser also retails for $21 for the 1.7 ounce size.
Both cleansers remove my makeup at the end of the day along with all of the other environmental pollutants that my skin comes in contact with throughout the day. Very little product is needed with each cleansing, therefore the products are already lasting a long time for me. I recommend both of these cleansers and will continue to use them.
What do you think of the holistic skincare approach?
*I paid for both of these products with my own money. All opinions are mine and are not influenced by anyone else.

I love products like this…simple, but great for the skin!
The line is so extensive that you have to really be educated on everything. I want to buy something new every day because it all sounds so promising. Stacie xo
I haven’t tried the Osmosis skincare products yet, but I love the lipsticks and mascara that I received from the brand. I also remember that Dr. Ben Johnson is a really good looking guy, lol! These sound very interesting. Osmosis Skincare is on my “to try” list, but right now I have so much skincare I can hardly move in my bathroom. But what I like about the cleansers that you tried as well as several I’ve recently used from other brands is that they remove makeup. I am so happy not to have to buy separate eye makeup remover anymore!

I’m a Licensed Esthetician in CA and Osmosis is the ONLY professional skincare line I use and retail because it follows my philosophy of holistic healing. It’s absolutely amazing. If you’re bathroom is full of skincare products, you may want to consider doing a Spring Cleaning and pitch anything that’s been sitting there over a year, isn’t effective or has ingredients that are regarded as unsafe/toxic. Seriously consider switching over to Osmosis & start getting results now – why wait to have the healthiest skin possible?

Hey, the prices on these aren’t bad! I find it really intriguing that they use Coconut Surfactants. I didn’t know that was a thing! Glad to hear these products are working for you!
Most of the products are reasonably priced. Not close to drugstore, but decent for an MD line of skincare. There are several products that are pretty expensive though in the line. We’ll get to those later… Stacie xo

I used their serum before and I thought it was outstanding!
I’m so glad to know that! I’m finding this to be an amazing skincare line. Stacie xo
Ugh, hormonal acne is the worst. I read that foaming cleansers are too harsh for acne prone skin so good to see that these are not labelled as foaming.

I find most foaming cleansers to be very drying to my skin, so I guess what you read is probably pretty accurate. Stacie xo

I wasn’t familiar with this brand, I’ll have to give them a try!
I only heard of it a few months ago when I tried some lipstick from the line. So far I am very impressed with their skincare. Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo
Good article Stacie. What are you using internally ? Are there any supplements you sugges, or is this another subject? I am battling the same.
Haha! Yes, this is another subject. I’ll do this for part 2 this week for you. Menopausal skin stinks! I even dreamed about big cystic acne and a visit to a dermatologist last night. How weird and crazy is that??!! Have a wonderful Sunday! Stacie xo
