Product Description
WHAT IS IT?
Expertly balanced with fine, exfoliating actives, this serum travels deeper into pores, unclogging them for a clarified and clearer complexion.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Innovative and effective, this serum has been specially developed for use on targeted areas of oiliness, texture, congested pores and blemishes. Natural, ocean-born ingredients, powerful antioxidants and skin-loving exfoliators, like blue algae, glucosamine and salicylic acid, clarify and calm, while reducing redness and removing excess sebum and bacteria – without the dreaded dryness or irritation. Expect fewer breakouts and a more balanced complexion.
Please note: if you have sensitive or dry areas of skin, we don’t recommend using Ocean Dive on them.

Clinical Results
In a 28-day independent clinical study, users' skin showed an average 51% reduction in inflammatory spots and blemishes.
Independent clinical study. Average results after 28 days.
How To Use
Dispense 3-6 drops from the pipette into the palm of your hand and, with clean fingers, gently pat the product onto blemishes or the areas of skin you want to decongest, smooth and clarify. Always wash hands after use.
For more control when targeting specific areas of skin, apply with our ergonomic Bamboo Buds.
Dip a bud into your serum and use the tip to pop a little of the serum onto individual spots or turn the bud on its side and sweep over larger areas where you may have clogged pores or texture.
Our Bamboo Buds are made from sustainable bamboo and cotton, so they’re 100% compostable. Just pop them in your at-home compost or food waste after use.
Recommended minimum age: 12+.
Ingredients
Glucosamine
Soothing away redness with every application, glucosamine is famed for its calming and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Salicylic Acid
The number one beta hydroxy acid when it comes to blemish prevention! It penetrates deep into pores (because it’s oil-soluble), dissolving the skin debris that clogs pores and can lead to blemishes. This also helps to promote cell renewal, so the smooth new skin cells move to the surface and leave your complexion looking fresh.
Blue Algae
A powerful antioxidant, this potent ingredient provides your skin with a defensive shield against free radical and pollution damage, while also working to keep your complexion hydrated and helping to give this serum its ocean blue hue.Delivery & Returns

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend
At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

Q&A
- Sorry if I’ve missed this, how often and when should you use this?
- Hi Theresa, thank you for getting in touch. Our Ocean Dive can be used daily if required for very oily skin types. It is preferable to use this in the evening due to the active ingredients and if your skin is not used to active ingredients then we suggest a gradual introduction using it a couple of times a week and then building up. It is also great to use as a targeted treatment on areas of breakouts so this does not need to be applied all over the face. We hope this helps.
- Hi ! I got blemishes on nose .. Is this one work for blemishes and spots. Thanks
- Hi Bharti, thanks for getting in touch. Yes that is correct, our Ocean Dive pore clearing serum contains salicylic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin and works deep into the bottom layers of your skin to clear it of oil and dirt which causes breakouts. You can apply to targeted areas, or all over the face. We hope this helps!
- I’ve just started using ocean dive can I use face smooth too.
- Hi Vicky, thank you for getting in touch with us. Yes, you can use Face Smooth as well as Ocean Dive but we would advise that you do not use them on the same day. We hope this helps.
- Hi I’ve just bought the discovery kit with this in and I’m confused when to use it. Is it after cleansing? Many thanks 🙏🏻
- Hi Jamie, thank you for getting in touch with us. You would use our Ocean Dive pore-clearing serum after you have cleansed and toned your skin. We hope this helps!
- Can I used Glow Berry with this product or do I need to wait 24hrs?
- Hi Natalie :) Our Ocean Dive can be used alongside our Glow Berry within your skincare routine. We would advise applying Ocean Dive first and then leaving 10 minutes before applying Glow Berry. We hope this helps!
- Hi, is this product safe to use in pregnancy? Thank you
- Hi Lucy, thank you for getting in touch with us. All of our products across all ranges have been independently safety assessed and are safe to use during pregnancy. Ingredients such as salicylic acid and essential oils are used in concentrations that do not constitute any form of pregnancy risk or complications.
