"I tried the ineffective moisturizers and harsh steroids, nothing helped. Our Marine Glycoproteins were the only thing that worked for me. After years of suffering with dry, irritated skin we made it our mission to bring this relief to others."

"Life Saver" - Brynn

"I have suffered with exema for 3 years now. I had a patch on the back of my head that just would not clear up. I had started using just hydrocortisone cream, then was prescribed numerous steroid treatments to no avail. I had really just given up hope and thought that I would just live with it on the back of my neck forever. A co-worker had a tube of Marin on her desk and I tried it, honestly I wasn’t very optimistic about it, I thought for sure it wouldn’t do a thing. But WOW! This product has literally saved my life. I used the product 2 times a day for 4 days and the difference was incredible. My neck is no longer itching, flaking, or inflamed. I will continue to use the product until it clears completely up, and I will recommend it to anyone I know who has suffered with exema like I have!"

"Life changing!" - Jess

"This year my eczema moved onto my face, specifically around my eyes. I tried everything and nothing was helping me. My mom saw a segment on our local news about Marin, and the creators eyes looked just like mine did. I put it on the day I received my order and it was instant relief. I was worried it was going to burn as soon as I put it on but it was so soothing. In the first week my skin started clearing up. I’ve been using Marin for a little less than a month now and my eyes are completely healed! This product is truly life changing!! Thank you guys so much"

the capsule set

"I do have high hope with it, unfortunately it does not work on me"

— PUI M. (2/5)

Such a fun Idea!

"Love the capsule to store many lip products. Only reason it lost a star is because the lid was way thicker than I anticipated. If the lid got a remodel it could fit more lip products! Overall it’s a great little storage case that adds a unique touch to storage and the brand itself. Definitely recommend."

— Kathryn D. (4/5)

Q&A

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

    • Repair, soften 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.

    Has this been tested by dermatologists?

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

  • Our products are made

  • 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!
