Oasis Beauty Fruit Smoothie Exfoliating Mask Review

As a starter let me say - I haven't used a face masque since I was a teenager and I stopped using them because they all made my face go red and feel tight, or do nothing. I am now a complete fan and this is a great product and combines an exfoliation with a masque so excellent time saver.

I got this in the mail to review and thought ok the package is quite small for what it costs (I later discovered you use hardly any so will last for ages); but it's lovely packaging and a nice sleek design for the bottle -this would be great to travel with. I like that it's a pump bottle so you can standardise what you use, but it would've been handy to have a guideline on the bottle as to roughly how many pumps you should expect to use. Also it states to apply to clean face so I was unsure as to whether it should be dry, damp or wet when you do that (I found slightly damp to be best). You can exfoliate or leave it first, I always rubbed it around a bit then left it for a few mins and washed off.

The smell is a really subtle fruity earthy scent, not overpowering at all and could be a bit stronger, it's more liquid than other masques/exfoliates I've used but this was a good thing as it spread really well and you get great coverage. It felt really gentle too when I was exfoliating with it so I was wondering if it would do a good job.

IT DID! This is such an awesome product, after washing it off my skin felt amazing and I want to use it everyday. Since I started using it I've literally halved my moisturiser usage. Incredible. My face didn't look red or feel tight, it 'glowed' straight after using it and has stayed that way since. I love it!

The best analogy I can use here is when you hear a song by a band you haven't heard before and love it so much you go and buy the whole album. I've since fallen in love with other Oasis products too after exploring their website and getting free samples sent so will definitely be purchasing more. A total win and I would recommend this to everyone, dry or oily or combination this would work for all I think.

I went in to this with so-so expectations. For some reason face masques and my skin just don't result in anything spectacular - then came along Fruit Smoothie.

First impressions - average size tube, simple label, nothing particularly exciting. To be honest it doesn't look like it warrants the $40 price tag. (Clearly they saved all their energy for what's inside!)

The product comes out looking like a tinted moisturiser, but a bit thicker. I used about two pumps and applied it as a thin layer to my face. The smell was amazing, so fruity. There's no tightening and just a little bit of a tingle.

After about ten minutes I hopped in the shower and rubbed the product in, gently exfoliating my face. I rinsed it off and got on with my shower.

As soon I dried my face I could feel the difference. My skin was smooth and just looked better. To be honest my skin felt so good I didn't even apply my serum or night cream, I ran straight out to my husband and demanded he feel how smooth my skin was. He said "wow I can feel it even with the rough skin on my fingers" (he's lucky he didn't get anything more than a death stare, how dare he touch my super soft skin with a callous.)

I've been using this twice a week now, since you only need a couple of pumps it's going to last a while, making it quite economical really. My skin has never looked nor felt better, I think it's the gentle and natural equivalent to a peel. My skin tone looks much more even and I've had no breakouts at all since using it.

I look forward to using it and will definitely repurchase, I don't think I could be without it now! I'm certainly going to check out more of the Oasis range.

I really like how this is a two in one product, I use it as both a scrub & mask. It smells so good, kinda fruity, and leaves my skin feeling so soft and refreshed. It's not drying which I find with most scrubs. The tiny exfoliating beads are really gentle on my skin. I use this 2-3 times a week and have noticed great results in my skin. I received this along with two other products that I chose as a sample off their website and straight away wanted the full sized bottles so if you are still unsure about this product even though majority of the reviews are positive, go on the Oasis beauty website and request a sample to try for free :-)

There are so many things to love about this product. It's multi purpose meaning that it can be used as a scrub or a mask. I have only used it as a scrub and I do so 1-2 times a week and I am in love with the results. The product is an brown-orange shade and feels quite gritty. I gently scrub it on my dampened face for a couple of minutes. The smell is so lovely and fruity and it leave me skin feeling so smooth and still hydrated. I also love that it is natural based with no nasties and is made in NZ. You have to try this!

Absolutely adore this product! I love the fact that it has no nasties, and it is cruelty free, that was a big draw card for me that made me try it. Boy am I glad I did! It smells beautiful, it is a real joy to use - that velvety clay feeling makes it so nice to apply, and easy to leave on as a mask without it dripping. And the results - ahhhh!!! My skin feels so soft, rejuvenated, hydrated, and it glows! It doesnt make me break out like a lot of clay masks do, and it leaves my face soft and fresh. I dont like to apply cream after as I feel it is unnecessary (this hydrates the skin so well in itself). It's just a really REALLY awesome product that delivers above and beyond what it promises!

I cannot believe this company is not more well known and widespread world wide. I had never heard of this brand until I saw the free samples mentioned in the forum.

I love EVERYTHING about this brand, the bright packaging, the natural ingredients and not to mention it works!.

The smoothie itself doesn't have the usual boring natural product smell, it has a very faint fruity smell which makes it very tolerable while it works it magic. I love how its a dual action product aka masque and scrub with the super fine beads.

The packing packaging is awesome, many masques come in tubs which mean you contaminate what you don't use. Not to mention a pump is just convenient.

Straight away my skin felt soft smooth and look radiant. The next morning my pores looked drastically reduced (after suffering acne 15 years this is almost a miracle)

As my budget allows I am slowing converting to this brand.

I am so glad I found these products before upcoming wedding. I am now semi confident to allow a professional see my skin to apply make up on the big day.

After a week of stressful studying, my skin was looking dull, uneven and bumpy. I decided I needed a pickup and reached for the Oasis Fruit Smoothie.

The product itself reminded me of BB cream, with the colour, being a beige/brown! The product has a thick consistency and can sit on the palm of my hand without moving, however the texture was silky, and had an almost velvet consistency, with the exfoliating beads being small, and gentle within this product. I could not describe the product as having a fruity smell, but instead, I found the product had a subtle almond essence fragrance. Not sure if I’m the only one who compared it to this, but that’s what It smells like to me!

This product is easy to apply, and I usually just use my fingers for application. The product spreads out in a thin layer, which is all you need for great results. I left this mask on for 15-20 minutes, and although my face did slightly tighten when the product dried, it was not an uncomfortable feeling. After the product dried, I wet my hands and began using the product for its next purpose- an exfoliator. The beads were so gentle, and it actually felt nice that my skin was getting some TLC.

The results- Wow, my tired and stressed skin looked like it was brand new. I think the best words to describe the results are ‘fresh’ and ‘radiant’. Because that’s exactly what my skin looked like. What’s more it, my skin felt so good, I had to actually restrain myself for touching my face non-stop. That’s how good it felt! Additionally, I have dry combination skin, and this product did not dry my skin out, which is rare, and makes it a winner in my books.

The only slightly negative aspect about this product is the price. As much as I love it, it will be hard to repurchase at the moment, due to my student budget. However, I do think this product is worth the price, so when it comes on special, or when I can manage to save up enough money, I will definitely be repurchasing.

How has Oasis been around for so long without them appearing on my skincare loving radar? I really have OngTheFarmer to thank for putting them in the spotlight. So far I've tried a number of their products and loved them - and Oasis' Fruit Smoothie is no exception.

The packaging is similar to other Oasis products, a pump bottle, which lifts up from the bottom to ensure you get every drop of the product right to the very end (I love that!). It's simple, yet sophisticated, and looks nice sitting in my mouldering shower.

After cleansing I use two pumps for good measure before applying as an exfoliator whilst showering, then leave for two minutes while I faff about conditioning my hair, cleaning Miss 2, brushing teeth, before washing off. You know what surprised me? The scent. I expected it to be quite fruity, but it's really sweet and creamy smelling. You get the odd burst of fruit, but nothing like I would've expected. I would prefer a more fruity smelling product, but you know what? If I want to smell a fruit smoothie, I'll buy a real one. It's what happens after using the product that counts right?

Even as you wash away the remnants of the 'smoothie' you can feel your skin is softer, and when you look in the mirror post-drying off *pow*. Your skin (well, at least mine does) really does glow, and looks clearer. I also find after using it my serums and moisturiser, followed by my makeup, glide on easily.

As far as exfoliators go, this has to be the best I've ever tried. It's a little pricey, but a little product goes a long way, and you only need to use it once or twice a week. Can't recommend this enough!

One word AMAZING!! I would never go back to a beauty salon for a facial after using this. I cleansed my face then smoothed the product over my face. The colour initially was a bit surprising but get over that because the results are OMG. After leaving on for about 10 minutes I rinsed it off first using my hands then as a final rinse with a washcloth. My skin felt smooth and refreshed and ready to soak up a moisturiser.

First impressions are a simple streamlined durable cylindrical plastic tube, the pump is a bit different in that it doesn't use a tube to extract the product from the container and when the product is thick (or cold) it can be a bit stubborn to come out. The paste itself is a pinky/brown and gritty, smells nice and not overpowering nor overly fruity given the name (I think it smells like a nice boutique spa/salon), and has a good consistency.

I love the fact that you can use this as a mask or a exfoliating scrub (or both), and is good value for money as it lasts a long time with twice weekly use.

The end result of skin texture being smooth and supple (immediate effect), reduced blemishes and balances out skin tone are all subtle changes over a few weeks.

Skin feel hydrated and not dry after use like some other clay masks can, I would say this is due to the shea butter.

My added bonus' for this product are that they are local, organic, and an animal friendly brand <3

Comes with good clear instructions for use and the girls at Oasis are happy to answer any question via the phone (my pump wouldn't work at first and they are very friendly and helpful). I also love how you can see how much is left down the side of the tube.
