I received a small sample pot of Oasis Beauty Apple A Day SPF25 facial moisturiser in the Oasis Beauty Goodiebag that I ordered. I wasn't expecting much from this moisturiser as I have naturally oily skin and Apple A Day is aimed at more dry to combination skin, but it surprised me. It moisturises really well without feeling greasy and the added SPF is a bonus!
I can't really comment on the full sized packaging, as I only received a sample pot but the label does state that its SPF25 and I always prefer my daily moisturiser to contain an SPF. Looking at their website, I was surprised to see that Apple A Day actually has a much higher SPF than what is on the label. This is what it says on Oasis Beauty's website: "Apple a Day is just what the doctor ordered. Packed with anti-ageing vitamins plus active naturals to brighten and hydrate with an added bonus of non-whitening SPF30 to keep your skin protected. Don’t be confused, the packaging might say SPF 25 but it came out of testing much higher than we anticipated! You also get the bonus of PA +++ which protects you from premature ageing and skin cancer."
The white cream has a thick consistency and a lightweight texture that is easily absorbed into the skin and leaves no white sunscreen residue or greasy feeling. The best part, it has this really fresh, crisp green apple scent. It smells exactly like Granny Smith apples!
As for the brightening properties, well, I can't really see a difference in brightness over the two weeks that I used the sample pot for.
Would I purchase a full sized tube of Oasis Beauty Apple A Day? Probably not. It's not a bad moisturiser, so this answer is not based on the product, I just prefer Oasis Beauty Knock-Out Moisturiser for my oily skin.
Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes, definitely if they have dry to combination skin.
I grabbed this in the Vault as wanted to give a full size Oasis product a go.
I'm still going on this bottle with using it daily since receiving it, so maybe 6 -8 weeks now! I'm quite surprised at how long the tube is lasting, it doesn't look like much... but 2 pumps daily is actually going well!
I still feel it's a little expensive though for something that's not overly special but then again I'm a drug store girl.
Apple a day actually has a faint stewed apple smell which I personally love! It's not too strong and the smell goes pretty much as the cream absorbs.
It does absorb well, fairly quickly so great under make up. It's also a great consistency, runny but not too much, light weight and smooth.
I don't feel it did much for anti -aging but then using it for longer would show better results for this.
It has kept my skin nicely hydrated.
All in all it's a lovely moisturiser & sunscreen but for the price that it is I wouldn't purchase it to be honest.
