Oasis Beauty Hot Toddy Serum Review

I received a generously-sized sample of this when I bought the toilet bag with the full set of samples from Oasis and this was the last thing I picked up. I'd heard great things about it, but I thought it would be too rich for my sensitive, combination skin.

When I finally tried it, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was light and easily absorbed, leaving my skin feeling nourished without being weighed down with heavy product. The texture was somewhere between an oil and a cream and was lovely to apply.

As with many Oasis products, it has a slightly odd smell, but it's not unpleasant and is, I believe, a sign that they haven't used artificial fragrance in this product.

Having tried it I'm a convert and can assure you that if you were hesitant to try it on combination skin, it isn't one of those heavy, gluggy products that make you break out!

I love Love LOVE this product. I have combination skin, and when it gets dry it loses that glow and brightness. Before trying this product I really felt like my skin looked and felt awful and that it was missing some real good natural nourishment.

I read so many reviews before choosing Hot Toddy.

Hot Toddy with just one application in the morning completely turned around my skin's moisture, texture and brightness. My skin is smoother, softer and has a lovely dewy glow to it every day. I take my makeup off at the end of the day and I still have a healthy glow.

The moisture benefits of this serum are immediate, but the long term conditioning of my skin was clearly evident after 2-3 months.

Wrinkles had softened. Complexion was clear. I also noticed sun spots and scarring had faded also. Another reason I'm probably more confident with my skin condition thanks to this product!

Unlike other serums, this one has a luxurious richness to it, that makes your skin feel immediately hydrated and soft. It's a powerhouse of ingredients. Smells really lovely too - but quite a strong scent compared to other oils I'd tried.

Having clearer skin, and softened wrinkles thanks to the serum has meant I have the confidence to go without makeup on occasions and dial back my makeup to a light BB cream most days.

It really is liquid gold (it looks like liquid gold too!). A little goes a long way and it lasts, despite the tiny bottle (I was a little disappointed first time buying, when I saw the size of the bottle!). It lasts an incredibly long time (on par with other rosehip serums - but this formula is thicker, so you use less!).

Used daily, I get about 3 months from the bottle, a little less if I'm using at night as well. I can't be without it now - it's my holy grail face oil/serum.

I was pleasantly surprised with the result I’ve seen using this tiny tube of gold.

I have dry skin which recently with the change of the weather has become super dry and unpleasantly tight.

My skin is reaping the rewards with using this serum morning and night. My skin is visibly more plump, fine lines are less noticeable, and my skin is feeling more hydrated, and lasting through out the day.

The scent can be a little off putting at first being a very natural smell, however over time it’s grown on me.

If your skin is like mine I would mostly definitely recommend giving this a try, you won’t be disappointed!

My favourite part of my nightly routine involves Hot Toddy, a silk robe, my man (cat), a book or my laptop and a cup of chamomile tea, it makes me feel somewhat luxurious while in actual fact I'm livin' that student life. The scent of Hot Toddy reminds me of something warm and comforting, it is subtle enough that it isn't too overpowering but strong enough that it lingers on the skin until I fall asleep. The serum is a beautiful translucent orange colour with a somewhat thickish oil consistency that glides easily onto my skin and absorbs quickly leaving it feeling hydrated and plump with a beautiful glow which lasts until the next morning. While fine lines and wrinkles aren't an issue for me yet (thank you skin fairies), I do feel since using this serum I've seen a very noticeable improvement in the moisture balance and texture of my skin with less congested pores. I'm really into simple packaging for products so I find the tiny pump bottle administers the perfect amount of serum while being aesthetically pleasing in design, it fits in perfectly on my vanity with my other daily use items and other Oasis Beauty goodies.
