I received a deluxe sample of this with the Oasis goodie bag. This moisturizer smells gorgeous, sort of like lemon myrtle. It is quite thick yet seems to be absorbed by the skin almost instantly. It didn't leave my skin looking shiny like some moisturizers can. I did find that I had to use more than other moisturizers as this seemed to soak into the skin before I had a chance to spread it around. My skin also felt like it hadn't had quite enough moisture after application, it didn't look dry, it just had the slight feeling of tightness. I imagine this would be a great product for people with super oily skins as its so quickly absorbed and quite a light formulation in terms of its ability to add moisture to the skin. Unfortunately for my skin type (combination normal/dry) it didn't do the job and left me feeling like I needed to re-moisturize. Because of this I wont be repurchasing.

Purchased as part of a $25 mystery bundle on their website. Not a fan of the scent, sunscreen and something else. I don't know what. I always screw my face up a little when I apply it. Formula feels slightly greasy. Still less greasy then their Spf Primer and Spf sunscreen which I am not a fan off.
No white cast, just make sure to rub it all in. Have noticed I haven't had any breakouts while using this recently. Which I do have to say is a pretty cool benefit for an spf.
Despite this, it's still not something I would repurchase. I have another spf moisturizer I prefer. This product has also been recently discontinued.
KnockOut comes in a pump bottle for oily skin which I am quite bad in in my t-zone so thought that it would be ideal. However, I found that it had a real matt film on my skin which I found grainy in a way. Yes it did minimise shine like it said it would do but I found it a bit extreme so maybe my skin wasn't as oily as I thought.
I really didn't enjoy the smell of the product on my skin. It had a too strong tea tree smell and it really lingered. Wouldn't be too bad if it was a more pleasant smell I guess.
I think I will let my son try this. He is not oily but does get a lot of teenage breakouts which it says will minimise.
Tips: No SPF so would be good to use some so scarring is minimised if you have pimples.
I picked this up in the Oasis flash sale for just $5! Such a great deal. It comes in a tube with a flip top lid which I love. The black packagaing really appeals to me.
It has quite a strong scent.....smells like lemons crossed with sunscreen to me. Consistency is quite thick, I definitely like something a bit lighter during the day. When I applied it to my face I felt like I was applying a mask.....I could feel it sitting on top of my skin. In this hot weather I feel like it made me sweat and I mowed the lawns oneday and when I took my sunnies off I had white around them where I was sweaty lol not a good look.
My skin felt terrible and instead of helping any breakouts it clogged my skin and broke me out. So unfortunately this is a big no from me. I'm glad I only paid $5 for this.
This is one of those products I initially hated, but grew to like. With my oily skin I normally go for more lightweight moisturisers that don't feel heavy on my face. The Knock Out moisturiser was thick and creamy, and smelt like essential oils so was pretty different to what I would normally choose.
When I applied it, I found that you really have to rub it in, the product didn't absorb easily. It left my skin feeling deeply moisturised, but it also felt very heavy on my face, almost like wearing a mask.
It was a product that I didn't want to keep using but I decided to try it over the week and I'm glad I did. Eventually I got used to the heaviness of the moisturiser which was leaving my skin feeling very soft, although I wouldn't say it reduced oily shine, and didn't see any effect it had on breakouts.
I probably wouldn't purchase this, but I would recommend this for anyone wanting a heavy-duty moisturiser.
Tips: If you're not sure if this product is for you, keep using it, your opinion may change.
