Infant Eczema

"My baby developed severe cheek eczema. The doctor had prescribed a steroid cream, which worked for a few days before it came back worse. If I wasn't watching, he would scratch his cheeks raw, making them bleed. A doctor friend reached out to me with this cream, sending me the link. Without hesitation, I bought it and started using it. In a matter of days, his cheeks were almost clear. We use this alongside Vaseline, and his eczema is doing so much better. We still have to stay on top of it, keeping his cheeks clean and hydrated throughout the day, but at least we aren't reliant upon steroid cream!"

Marin n. (5/5)

OMG

"I received the cream with great expectation. I put some on my eyes first night and woke up with itchy eyes. So i stopped. The next night I put some near my nose where I also have issues. Woke up with more issues, bigger area of rash. This is not going to work for me."

margaret r. (1/5)

This has worked wonders for me!

"I am 71 years old and have very very dry skin and was also recently told that I have a rosacea, although it was not a severe case. And just a short time of using the hydrating cream, the redness is completely gone, and my skin is no longer so dry. It looks better than it has in years. I’m not sure I could ever live without this stuff again!! matter"

Rich cream with a too-rich price

"I ordered this cream as a solution for solving eyelid dryness, based on specific claims made in their ads. I love the richly moisturizing cream but it hasn’t solved the eyelid dryness - seems the richness is just due to shea butter. So I’m not sure it’s worth the premium price."

Kaye N. (3/5)

Stick with it

"I ordered this cream to help manage eyelid eczema. I use it in conjunction with a hypochlorous acid spray in my am and pm cleansing routine. It has helped cleared the eczema. It does have a lobster/shrimpy scent that dissipates in a minute or so. The scent then evolves to a very very faint citrusy scent even though there’s no fragrance in the ingredients. Do not be deterred by the scent, it works. I also use ot on my hands before bed. My skin is smooth, plump and comfortable."

Kathryn S. (5/5)

Soothing hydration cream

"This stuff is amazing!!! My son had eczema around his eyes and after trying other expensive lotions we saw an ad for this one and decided to give it a try. So thankful we did! It works! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone dealing with eczema."

Jenny D. (5/5)

Psoriasis and sensitive skin savior!

"I have suffered with psoriasis and eczema for as long as I can remember. It was getting to the point where I was perpetually flared up on my elbows, until I tried Marin. This stuff is a godsend! It’s calms the itch and soothes my skin as well as topical steroids, with zero steroid side effects. Now I use it daily for any skin that needs a bit more support. It’s amazing!"

Christine F. (5/5)

My ride or die

"Nothing makes my skin happy like Marin! In the dry dry Colorado climate, we need serious hydration. Nothing I’ve tried (and I’ve tried everything) works so well to moisturize my sensitive skin all day. It layers great under makeup too. I recommend it to anyone who will listen. Buy some today!"

Chelsea S. (5/5)

So far so good. . . .

"Soft, soothing,non greasy and for the first time in a long time not raw, dry or flaky. I don't think I've been this happy with any product I tried from day one. Hope the trend continues. . . I'd be happy to let you know in a few weeks. All prior products worked for a short time to clear up the raw skin but never completely take away the dry and "just waiting to reappear" issues. I have high hopes that this will be the one that handles my skin issues. Using on a daily basis. Praying for good results and recovery!!! I think you've hit on something that actually works!!!"

Joan B. (5/5)

This cream works!

"I have only been using this cream for four days and can tell it has calmed redness and alleviated dryness on my face. I have used prescription creams, and this is working better and faster than they did. I hope the results keep up. I am very satisfied!"

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Safety and non-irritation is really important to us!


    We had Dermatologists clinically test this to make sure it's a non-irritating
    formula. They performed what's called a repeat insult patch test study (RIPT study), where 50 participants apply the product for a period of 6 weeks, tested
    each week for signs irritation. Our participants experienced no irritation throughout the entire study!

    Moreover, we formulated this product to be irritant-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and comply with the National
    Eczema Association's list of unapproved ingredients!

  • We discovered a new ingredient: Marine Glycoproteins!

    As Bioengineers, we worked with lobster scientists to discover a glycoprotein that allows lobsters to regenerate limbs - in the same way they do this, they help repair the skin barrier!

    A natural, upcycled byproduct of lobster processing, this superpowered regenerative protein helps:

    • Hydrate dry skin

    • Soothe upset skin

    • Repairsoften and renew damaged, weathered and aged skin.

  • Use in the morning, evening, and as-needed throughout the day.

    Suitable for use on your face, hands, and body.

    To apply, rub a dime-sized amount into your skin in the morning, throughout the day as-needed to spot-treat, and at night after exfoliating or simply before bed. For extra-irritated skin patches, use the Soothing Hydration Cream to keep it moist as possible throughout the day.

    When applying to areas of your face, as a relatively thick, rich cream, we recommend starting with a pea-sized drop and increasing the amount applied if necessary.

  • Yes! Tested by Dermatologists at a 3rd party lab to make
    sure our data is accurate and non-biased!

  • Our products are made
    with marine glycoproteins, which are found in lobster. They are sustainably and ethically sourced as natural byproducts of lobster processing, however, they are not vegan!

  • Unfortunately, we are currently unable to ship outside of the US. This will change soon!

    However, we are able to provide advice on how to make arrangements to ship a Marin tube internationally. If you are looking for international shipping, please email us directly at support@marinskincare.com and we will try our best to help!

  • We process and ship all orders within 3-5 business days in general, and shipping time may depend on the method selected during checkout!

    *For National Lobster Week 2023 (9/25-9/28), due to a high volume of site traffic, we anticipate orders will begin shipping out Friday, 9/28!*

    We will send tracking info as well as notifications as your order is being processed and shipped, so you should check your emails for the latest status updates!

  • We offer returns if the product has not been opened (seal on the cap of the tube has not been opened)!

    Although under normal circumstances we cannot accept returns on products that have been opened, if you are unsatisfied with your order please reach out to us and we will consider returns on a case-by-case basis!

    You can email us directly
    at support@marinskincare.com or use the contact form found on our site!

  • We actually have a BUNCH of people using the cream to help soothe skin prone to
    eczema or psoriasis! This is actually why we founded Marin and created the
    product - after the glycoproteins helped *finally* soothe our own eczema, we
    felt compelled to bring this new, natural solution to others like us!

    Overall, glycoproteins do a great job hydrating and repairing dry, damaged skin, while also smoothing and softening rough skin out - a combination of concerns that is
    common among many people with psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema.

    We think reviews for concerns like psoriasis speak for themselves - you can actually search reviews at the bottom of our Soothing Hydration Cream page, here!

  • We actually have a lot of parents and grandparents using the cream for their little ones!

    We've noticed that a lot of people prefer a more natural alternative to steroid creams, which can sometimes cause more damage than good. To be extra sure that Marin is gentle
    enough for their skin, we recommend applying a little dime-sized amount of
    product on before use, observing for any irritation, and continuing use once
    you've made sure their skin likes Marin!
