1Give post-pool skin a gentle cleanse.

After a swim, you want your skin to feel clean and comfortable. Seafoam Revive is a gentle, sulphate-free cleanser that’s pH-balanced to 5.5 and leaves skin feeling soft, without that tight feeling after washing.

“My skin usually stings a bit after using cleansers, as I have very sensitive skin, but I’ve been feeling really good using this cleanser”

— Greta, Surfer ★★★★★

2Tight-feeling skin needs moisture, not a heavy finish.

When your face feels tight after the pool, it needs hydration that sinks in, not a layer that sits on top.

Sea Shield Water Cream uses a 3D Dual-Polymer Moisture Network to help hold moisture with a non-sticky, non-oily finish.

“Lotions left my skin feeling oily and gels left it dry. This is the first product that's left my skin feeling truly hydrated.”

— Jess E, Diver ★★★★★

3Brushing post-pool hair doesn’t have to be a battle.

Sea Silk Leave-In Hair Serum helps soften pool-exposed strands and makes hair easier to comb, with a lightweight, non-greasy finish.

Use on damp or dry hair to smooth strands and add shine.

“I teach freediving in the pool a few times per week and swear by this product. It leaves hair silky and is great post blow dry!”

— Kristina, Diving Instructor ★★★★★

4Gentle recovery after every swim.

Chlorine and salt water can be hard on skin and hair, especially if you swim several times a week.

All three formulas were developed in Korea using advanced skincare technology and feature MerCell™ Repair Complex. Each was clinically tested on sensitive skin and rated non-irritating.

“I’m now using it daily. Same with the cleanser, that is now my daily too”
