Oasis Beauty Hot Toddy Serum Review

I've been using the Hot Toddy Serum for about a month now, and it is amazing. It takes very, very little to cover my whole face so the lifespan of a bottle should, in theory, last me maybe six months!

It has a very strong aroma, but it's not overwhelming at all - the opposite really - when I use before bed, it's soothing and takes my mind off the day (face aromatherapy! :))

I have noticed an improvement in the fine lines under my eyes since using this, and it absorbs really well. It's a very light formula, and doesn't sit heavy on your face. I typically follow this with a good moisturizer, and I've never had any sensation of 'caked on' which you can get from some products.

I would unhesitatingly recommend this product, and I'm very impressed with all the products I've tried from Oasis.

I have never used a serum before. I got this from Oasis as a free sample and I am scrambling to get more before it runs out. I absolutely adore it! It goes on SO smoothly and easily - little goes a long way. There is a slightly warm feeling afterwards, it truly feels like it is working some magic. The scent is yummy, I leave putting night cream on for as long as I can so that I can smell the serum for as long as I can - how crazy is that?! As it works on the lower levels of skin, I expect to see results in a couple of weeks as I have only been using it for 2 weeks so far. My skin is definitely more supple and smoother - can't wait to see if the wrinkles 'relax' a little to!

So after reading all the wonderful things about this product in the BR forum. I had to try it for myself. I ordered the sample from their website and waited excitedly by the mail box like a child waiting for their favourite blanket or soft toy to be washed and dried. I tried this AMAZING serum and instantly my skin felt soft and smooth. It smells fruity but it is not over powering. I use it at night and when I wake up my skin looks hydrated and healthy. I then use it in the morning under BB cream. The fine lines are almost gone now from around my eyes. I cannot believe how good this serum is. It really is magic. It absorbs so quickly into the skin and doesn't feel oily greasy or sticky. So after trying the sample I was so quick to jump back on the computer and buy the bottle I feared I would run out before the bottle arrived I couldn't imagine my regime without it now. I also love the fact they do the free samples for peace of mind. I'm gutted I never found this sooner and thank goodness for BR!!

I recently bought this after discovering Oasis Beauty and their free samples. What a great idea! I got the full size Hot Toddy, which I use as a moisturiser before foundation. It feels and smells great and keeps my dry skin looking fresh and dewy all day. I hope the anti-ageing vitamins really do work!

About this time last year I was having a bit of a hard time finding a skin care regimen that didn't cause itching or dry scaly skin, yet was intensive enough to improve the sun damage I have sustained over the years (the eighties was the worst time to be a teenager - we all baked ourselves in the sun :( ). After discovering this brand of skincare right here on Beauty Review, I am a real convert to this wonderful serum. It comes in a nice little pump pack which dispenses exactly the right amount of product down to the very last precious drop. A little goes a long way. When warmed up in your hands and pressed into your skin, it spreads easily and is quickly absorbed. Skin instantly feels moisturised without greasiness. The fragrance is a little assertive at first, but not unpleasant or overpowering. Most importantly, after faithful use morning and night for a few weeks my skin was noticeably less dry and sensitive. I have reduced my usage to once a day for the last few months and am still reaping the benefits. My skin is clear, comfortable and smooth. And all of this made in NZ and not tested on animals. Perfect.

Many Oasis products have quickly become some of my most adored, holy grail products. After reading fantastic recommendations on the forum for this serum, it was time to get me some!

As for some background, my skin can be dry/combination and quite reactive to some products, so I have to be quite careful what products and brands to use on my skin. Oasis seem to be made specifically for my skin, I love it.

The packaging is distinctive of most Oasis products, stylish yet simple. It comes in a small bottle with a pump, great for dispensing the right amount. I use this serum after cleansing my face at night, and then massage a small amount over my face, concentrating in the fine lines. It feels lovely on the skin and makes it feel hydrated and soft. The fragrance however, is not very pleasant for me, but I'm getting used to it.

I didn't have very high hopes for this to work in improving the dryness and fine lines, as I have tried other serums in the past and not really had any improvements. But, I have to say..wow, I just love this serum. My skin tone feels so much better and moisturised. I also feel its really helping to minimise the fine lines that were appearing..I didn't think that was possible, but I really think this serum does what it says. I will never be without this serum and so thankful I have this little gem! I can't recommend this product enough, five stars from me.

Since I love Oasis' Apple a Day I had to try out more of Oasis Beauty's products, so when Oasis had their big sale, I jumped at the chance to grab a bargain and I'm glad I did. Being an oil based serum for dry skin, I really thought that it would be a bit greasy and take awhile to absorb into my skin. Omg, it hydrated and absorbed fairly quickly and didn't leave a greasy layer on my skin. It didn't break me out either, I've used this during autumn when my skin was a bit oily/combination and had no resulting breakouts, but I prefer to use this in winter as the spicy scent really hits the spot. I've been using it at night and the On the Rocks during the day but as the weather gets drier I will start using this during the day. I haven't seen the fine lines disappear using this but my skin has been soft and moisturized and it feels really hydrated but not greasy. The only con I can think of is that I need more than a pump to cover my face, neck and decolletege so if I use this twice a day with the size of the bottle I would have used up the bottle within a month and it's a bit pricey. The other con is that the bottle it comes in a clear which isn't the best of for active ingredients but that is solved by storing it in the box it came in. That being said I love that Oasis use airless pumps for their products because not only do the active ingredients stay preserved in airtight packaging but you get every last bit of product. I definitely will repurchase this when Oasis or another site has a fantastic sale or a good gift with purchase.

I got a wee sample of this which gave me about 5 applications. I love it! My skin was quite dry with the sudden cold snap and it cured it! I have a nice soft smooth face and I'm putting it down to this wonderful serum! It doesn't have much of a smell which I like, it's silky and goes on as an oil but absorbs quite quickly, leaving my skin soft and hydrated without any residue. I've been using it once a week before I go to bed and I feel that's all I need really. If I had more of it though I'd probably use it twice a week

If you've got skin that needs improvement, look no further than Hot Toddy.

I've been using this for a couple of months now and am highly impressed with the results.

The product itself comes in a 15ml pump bottle dispenser. It doesn't seem like much but you only need 2 pumps each night to cover your entire face and neck area. I've had my bottle for about 2.5 months now and have almost finished it.

This serum is perfect in the sense that it doesn't leave a greasy residue and your skin feels so hydrated after use. I use this at night before bed, let it soak in for a few minutes, then follow with beauty sleep, and wake up with really soft skin. Such a great treat for tired dry skin. While it's not improved any wrinkles, my skin looks a lot fresher and younger with continued use. I will definitely repurchase this as it's so good.

The smell of the product is so hard to describe, Initially I thought it was kind of "grassy" but I still can't put my finger on it. Anyway it's a smell that I've really grown to love after thinking it was a bit weird to start with.

This serum is lovely. It applies easily and only a couple of drops are needed to cover the entire face. I have only a sample size and have been using it for a week already. My skin is a little oily when it's first applied but it sinks in quickly, leaving my skin really nicely moisturised. By the morning, there's no greasy layer to wash off and my skin feels good. I feel like it is brightening my glow and I haven't had any reaction to it, which is a huge plus (happens with many good products too). I will use this one again.
