Oasis Beauty Knock Out SPF 25 Review

I stumbled across this brand by pure accident, and WOW I am so glad I took a chance and tried it. After really struggling with oily skin this year, I was on the hunt for some oil reducing mattifying majical facial moisturizer. Well I found it!! I really do feel this has helped reduce my excess oil, and as soon as you apply the moisturizer you can feel the difference. It's so quickly and easily absorbed, and the tea tree smell is very refreshing. The texture is that of a light lotion, and comes in tube form with a flip to open lid. My face is not shiny anymore, and this does help with makeup longevity. Bonus points for being made from natural ingredients, New Zealand made, and having an SPF.

I really, really, really like this spf moisturizer. It's light and gives me good spf protection but doesn't make my face feel greasy for using an spf, it's non-whitening and I can apply makeup over it fine. Now the thing I love about Oasis Beauty is that a lot of overseas brands have good spf moisturizers and sunscreens but they haven't formulated it to New Zealand and Australian standards. And we need our spf to hold up better here down under because have the strongest UV rays of anywhere in the world. So I have stuck to this brand because I knew I could rely on getting the proper amount of spf. Also no flash back in photos despite having a physical spf.

I've also recently found out that this doesn't irritate skin that has had an allergic reaction to another product and has an irritating, painful and itchy rash all over it. I had an allergic reaction to some eye patches and had burning and bumps all over my eye area and cheeks and down my face. I had to stop using most of my skincare products, simplify my routine and use a few products that wouldn't irritate my sensitized skin. Luckily, and I was very fortunate to have on hand an oil cleanser, a cream cleanser, a toner, some aloe vera gel and a non-spf moisturizer that didn't irritate my skin. But I didn't have a spare spf moisturizer that I could use just for that, so I kept using this and it actually didn't irritate my rash and I was able to keep using this the whole time. Which thank goodness I had, because I cannot go a day without spf!

Now for the downsides, this does have a physical sunscreen so while you can apply makeup on top of this if you use a foundation brush I find it will pill, although it does pill less than the Apple a Day (but the Apple a Day has a higher spf). And if it gets around your eyes it will sting. Also compared to some spf moisturizers out there this is pricier. Nevertheless, I will continue to buy this and use it because I think it is worth it.

Oasis beauty NZ is just the best and being NZ brand makes me proud of our beauty brands.

I like the bottles coming with a pump applicator and the cream has a off yellow colour and a thick consistency which blends out and has a matte feel on the skin. leaving a fresh feelin moisturized skin but not oily or shiney looking. I love it. Works really well with my skin. When putting bb cream on or foundation you don't always have to use a primer I find this cream works fine without it. with the spf added it's pleasantly surprising that this cream isn't sticky shiney or has any flashback.

I needed to try incorporate day cream into my skincare routine, and have loved Oasis products in the past. I thought the oily skin version of this cream would be perfect for me as that would suit my skin type.

I can't believe how much I love this product! The scent is fresh, natural, and on the herbal side. The cream is thick, but you only need one pump for your whole face (more if you want the full effects of the sunscreen). It takes a little time to fully rub into your face, but that's natural with a product that has SPF.

I have found that if I use too much then my face does turn a bit oily towards the end of the day, but using a little less clears that right up. One of my favourite things about Oasis is that the bottles look tiny, but last for months. Hooray!

I absolutely love oasis beauty- I recommend it to everyone. The price tag is a bit high but I suppose when it's all natural and clean it's worth it. I have tried all their moisturizers and this one is one of my faves. It doesn't feel greasy after applying it and soaks in straight away! The only problem I have with their moisturizers is that I find I really pull on my skin when rubbing it in. I find my skin goes redder than usual when applying the moisturizers. That might just be me though. Overall it's a great brand and product and I cannot recommend them enough!

This moisturizer is pretty good, it 'dried' into my skin quickly and left my skin feeling lovely and smooth. I didn't need very much product to cover my whole face which is a plus as it has a high price!

Only downside i found is the smell! I can't quite put my finger on it but it was quite funky! And because it was on my face I kept getting wiffs of it.. I know others on the reviews have said it was nice so maybe it was just my one or my personal taste!

Other than that I liked the product! and I applied it before my makeup and it was a great primer :)

I have been committing the worst beauty crime... not wearing sunscreen on my face. I tried many times in the past only to have greasy, slimy, pore clogging, heavy SPF, not allowing my makeup to set Issues... Well those days are gone baby!!

Welcome to my newest skincare consummate. So this SPF doesn't clog my pores, is super lightweight... absolutely no grease or shine!! It smells nice and fresh and best of all I know I am protected from all those harsh rays.

I even don't mind reapplying it (so much so I actually applied it before I went to bed by mistake... oh well no sunburn lol).

I did find it doesn't spread as easily as I had expected but it does a great job.

Sits well under makeup and doesn't effect application or longevity that I have noticed

I will be re-purchasing this when I run out (well before hand as I have not missed a day since I bought it over a month ago)

Another fantastic moisturiser from the Oasis girls. Love the pump applicator keeping the product fresh. Also love the natural base of this product and no animal testing involved in the production. Smell is of lemongrass yum!

This is the only product that has ever educed the oil slick. I can now cut out using oil blotting papers. Also makes an amazing primer under makeup. Could do with being a little richer, but would be fine for younger skins not my 30 year old skin. I mix this up with Apple a day, it does seem to take awhile to sink in compared to Apple a day.

I got this along with some of their other products in their clearance sale, it’s a shame the skincare line is being discontinued. This is best-suited for oily, young skin probably not sensitive as it has fragrant oils lemongrass and tea-tree which do give it a noticeable scent that could potentially be an irritant. The consistency is on the thicker side and does have a slight white-cast possibly because it’s non-nano zinc used in this formulation (the healthy family original sunscreen and the primer use nano zinc which in my opinion is lighter feeling and less noticeable white-cast)

I love Oasis. They do some beautiful products and so many people LOVE this moisturiser, but it just didn't wow me.

As with all Oasis products, I love the smell. They smell like you are actually smelling the active ingredients, instead of those insipid scentless man-made chemical concoctions. I also love the way all Oasis day creams have SPF. I have long wondered how any day cream in NZ ever sells WITHOUT SPF.

However... I find this a little whitening to my skin initially. Maybe it just doesn't sit well with my toner (Evolu spritz), but it doesn't rub in well and ten minutes late my skin still feels a little... well, like I have product on it. However, maybe this is just because it has a physical blocker sunscreen in it?

Having said all this, I have combination skin, rather than constant problems with acne, so I'm less concerned about the antibacterial properties of this moisturiser, which sound amazing for oilier skin than mine.

Was I enamored with this product for my combination skin? No. Do I think you should give it a go if you have oily skin and don't usually wear sunscreen? Yes, you should.
