Oasis Beauty Apple a Day SPF25 Review

I've been using this for the last 2 months, and I'm a believerrrrrr*. I have an all out stressed looking face, discolourations don't help and even dark circles/bags *ugh - I tried this as a sample, because my sister ordered it but sed I should give it a try, lets just say I didn't give it back! With vitamins a, c and e I couldn't pass this up. There are days where I'll wear this under Oasis Beauty bb cream or just simply wear it on its own - it wakes up my face, leaves it feeling/smelling fresh and I don't get that hard or dried after feeling (yes I usually get that after using other moisturisers). This bottle lasts me 5 weeks to 7 weeks (if I'm lucky, sorry about me over treating my face ha!) but its a purchase that I gladly top up. I just buy mine from my local health store, fabulous is how I feel everytime I wear it :) boosts the confidence too ;)

This is a no fuss, light, lovely moisturiser. Smells lovely, feels lovely. It feels natural. It absorbs very quickly and leaves the skin feeling nourished but not greasy. I love that it has a good amount of SPF power behind it to. It is nice and smooth to apply and not at all thick and gluggy like some heavy moisturisers. My skin favours a lighter (but powerful) moisturiser so this suits me very well.

I have been using this moisturiser for a few months now after having purchased a goodie bag from the Oasis website. It has hydrated my skin beautifully, smells wonderful and not at all overpowering. I tend to get reactions to sunscreens so the built in sunscreen is a big bonus. A little goes along way so its great value for money. My skin is soft and smooth and doesn't feel tight like it has with some other moisturisers.

I have only been using this product as a sample for the last few days and i am absolute love!! After only using for a few days, ive already noticed the biggest difference in my skin.

the first thing i noticed about this moisturiser is the texture. I have found in all other face moisturiser i have bought that it has a very thin and almost watery texture. This moisturiser is the opposite. It has a very nice smooth and buttery texture which applies amazingly and a little goes a long way.

The second thing was the scent. It has a very fresh smelling scent to it which is very nice and refreshing which is what i look for in any moisturiser.

Lastly, and the most important part, the results. This product leaves my skin so soft and hydrated. I am amazed with how much this does for my skin as i didnt have high expectations based on previous moisturisers ive tried.

I love this product and am definitely going to buy the full size and try more products from Oasis Beauty.

The best thing of all is its all organic, cruelty free and made right here in little old NZ :)

After receiving a generous free sample from the Fabulous ladies at Oasis I had to make a few cuts in the budget to purchase this (don't get me wrong this product is value for money, I just have an uber tight budget)

As per usual the smell is AMAZING unlike the usual the natural product. Its a very natural faint apple smell that quickly diminishes after applying.

Literally seconds after applying my skins redness calms down and those wee tight dryness lines fade.

I love how it dries matte which is perfect for make up or non make up day. I am pretty sure it controls a lot my usual oil production during the day too.

I think it has definitely reduced the amount of breaks outs.

All this and an SPF in a natural product this is my dream come true.

I was given this product by a very generous secret santa, and I must say, I will definitely be purchasing more when it runs out.

Wow, talk about covering all bases. Where do I start?

The scentl is not what I expected; it's subtle with apply undertones, almost like a fruit smoothie or mashed fruit.

The texture is quite thick, but when applied it feels thin and very spreadable. It's not overly sticky, and it doesn't leave a greasy residue despite being moisturising. It leaves a beautiful almost matte finish (much like a primer), and is perfect alone or under make up.

I love how it moisturises without leaving an oily residue. My skin is combination t-zone and is especially prone to oiliness and break outs around the chin. This lovely concoction has diminished the oiliness around my chin, and even minimised the break outs (unfortunately still get the period zits).

The icing on the cake would have to be the sun protection factor. I always look for products with good spf, and I know Oasis use good quality natural products which aren't harmful to you or your skin.

This is a thick cream with a off white yellow kind of colour.

The scent is hard to describe I can't pinpoint it's fragrance.

The texture as I said is thick but to my disbelief it goes on smooth with a velvety finished feeling. I believe it feels like this as it's instantly absorbs into the skin. like I said I was surprised at this effect as it's quite a thick cream and I thought it would take a while to rub into the skin. Not the case it absorbs as you've spread it.

It leaves the skin looking moist and clean. it doesn't feel sticky or slick.

I'm impressed at this cream it left my face glowing.

I bought this product for 3 reasons 1. SPF (I normally don’t try hard enough so this was a must) 2. To help even out my skin tone 3. To brighten the appearance of my skin.

I’m happy to report it has definitely helped and I feel I’m giving my skin the care it needs. I’ve been using this every morning (without fail) for the past 5 months and I began to really see a difference in my 4th month. That’s quite a long time but I guess it depends on the state of your skin – so clearly mine needed some attention! My forehead and the sides of my face were much darker compared to the rest of my face and over time I started to notice a better consistency of colour. My skin appears brighter and much healthier and I’m happy with where it’s at right now.

I have oily skin so this product isn’t “ideal” for me based on who this product is geared towards so obviously it does nothing for my oiliness but that’s fine because I was already aware of that. If there is one thing I don’t like about this product it’s how it leaves my skin feeling once applied. It feels kind of tough to touch as opposed to how other moisturisers leave my skin feeling. When I originally started using it I wanted to add Cetaphil on afterwards to soften my skin but thought to just keep going – it may change. After 5 months it still feels the same but the results make up for it. Other than that I would highly recommend the product for the 3 reasons I’ve mentioned above.

Initially I doubted the bottle would last me 3 months but I’m going onto 6 months and feel I can squeeze in another month before I repurchase so I’ve definitely got my money’s worth. I bought mine online from Oasis Beauty but discovered shortly after that Aromatherapy Extracts downtown stocks the full range.

I was thrilled to get one of these in the Vault. There had been a lot of good talk about this on the Forum and I'm always keen to try more Oasis products. They're a great, ethical NZ company. All my direct dealings with them have been awesome. Orders from their website arrive delightfully packaged with samples and chocolates included!

The bottle I received was in the old packaging which is a sealed pump pack. I much prefer this to the soft tube packaging they now use (they also use it for their BB cream which I've also used). The pump allows you to dispense the perfect amount - one full pump does my entire face, another my neck and décolletage.

This is a thin opaque lotion with a fresh, slightly apple smell. It does vaguely resemble a light sunscreen which is probably due to the SPF25. Thankfully, it doesn't share the smell or texture of sunscreen, both of which I hate. It does feel a little sticky on first application but dries down fairly quickly, leaving velvety smooth skin. It does instantly brighten my skin, giving it a bit of a natural looking glow. Bonus!

This is perfect for no-makeup days but it also sits really well under makeup. I will definitely buy this again. I just wish they would go back to their old style of packaging.

A fairly heavy moisturiser that I’d it isn’t rubbed or patted in well enough can sit patchy on the skin so be sure to rub it in well. I have oily and sensitive skin. This feels oily on the skin but doesn’t look oily at all. I get no breakouts using this! Whoop whoop! SPF25 that actually works Affordable and a little goes a long way
