Shoppers Say Crepey Skin Looks Airbrushed Thanks to This Body Serum

Body lotion was an afterthought while in my twenties—my flawless, firm skin from my neck down didn’t need it. I wasn’t picky; if it smelled good and left behind some sort of moisture, it was fine with me. Now in my forties, with decades of summers spent soaking up the sun clocked in, I am desperate for a miracle worker; a potion that not only smells amazing, goes on greaseless, and hydrates my skin, but also smoothes and airbrushes crepey areas including my arms and around my knees. 

Fortunately, the seaweed-infused skincare brand Victoria Beckham uses on repeat recently launched the most hydrating body treatment I’ve tried in years: the Osea Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum. And to quote Nordstrom shoppers, it’s “game-changing.”

The serum, “packed with great ingredients,” according to Nazanin Saedi, MD, board-certified dermatologist at Dermatology Associates of Plymouth Meeting, includes five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. “Different weight hyaluronic acid helps attract moisture into the skin,” she tells InStyle. Niacinamide is “helpful for decreasing inflammation and calming the skin” and smoothing the skin, she adds, while algae “will also help calm the skin.”

According to a third-party clinical study cited by Osea (and my own experience testing the product), after one use the serum instantly boosted hydration by 161 percent, improved the skin's natural moisture barrier and delivered 24 hours of “nonstop moisture.” 

One shopper with “crepey skin” noticed a “noticed a huge improvement” after using the product “just a few times.” “It made my skin feel so soft and airbrushed,” they wrote. Several reviewers in their 60s called the serum “game-changing,” attesting that they no longer need to wear pantyhouse with skirts, transforming “dry and flaky” legs into “smooth and clear” stems. One shopper even added that it's great for irritated and dry skin “due to diabetes or kidney disease.” 

I also appreciate that the serum absorbs immediately after application with zero oily residue and is fragrance-free, so I can add essential oils prior to application or wear it with my go-to perfume and avoid clashing scents.
