All about: Osmosis Clear Plus+ Activating Hydration Mist

Over the past year or so I’ve had more compliments about my skin than I have had in a long time, and the fact that I’m certainly no spring chicken makes that fact even more impressive! The first thing I tell people is that I’ve swapped almost all my daily regime to Osmosis, and it’s showing no sign of changing in the future.

Osmosis has a different focus than most skincare lines, and creator Dr. Johnson believes in building a “partnership with the skin”, which is a philosophy that I love. This partnership includes utilising ingredients that the skin recognizes, maintaining the epidermal barrier while focusing most of the attention on the dermis, virtually eliminating inflammation during repair and feeding the skin through increasing blood flow. The combination of these strategies and the ability of the products to penetrate the skin without harming it make this line one of the best in the world at restoring skin health and restoring its youthful verve.

Most skin care goes only about 5 per cent into the deeper layers of the skin, where signs of aging originate. Osmosis' liposomes are proven to increase penetration by 1000 per cent (yep, that’s one THOUSAND times more) as well as protect against sun damage and environmental toxins. Rather than the traumatic exfoliation common to many high performance skincare ranges, Osmosis stimulates and feeds the skin from the bottom up to “restore a more youthful appearance” by naturally nourishing and stimulating the skin. Osmosis products are also all natural with no artificial colours, preservatives, fragrances or other artificial irritants, no sodium lauryl sulfate or propylene glycol. Hallelujah!

They are always improving their formulas and releasing a select few new ones as well, the latest that has been touching my skin being a reformulation of their amazing Clear, called Clear Plus+ Activating Hydration Mist.

Clear is one of the key products in the collection, a hydrating mist that is applied after the serums have been rubbed in to the skin. What it does is add slip or ‘wet’ the serums all over again so you can massage them into the skin a second time to help the ingredients better penetrate the epidermis. It is a very important step when using the serums as it enhances product penetration of all of the facial serums to allow them to get to the dermal layer - where they need to be in order to create change! You can use Osmosis Clear to freshen up the skin whenever you feel like you need a boost during the heat or the cold, and it’s a lifesaver if you’ve just had any form of treatment like a peel that needs quick healing or mid-travel and your skin is in need of some love.

To create the new Clear Plus+, Ben and his team have taken the beneficial frequencies of Clear and added active ingredients to firm, hydrate, soothe and nourish the skin all with a light citrus scent. Like the original, the formula contains the Osmosis Harmonized Water, enhanced with the following proprietary frequencies: epidermal growth factor, keratinocyte growth factor, antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. A little bottle of magic if ever there was one!

Clear Plus+ Activating Hydration Mist is suitable for all skin types, RRP $64.40.
