Oasis Beauty Rhino Repair Review

My upper arms tend to get dry and flakey and my normal lotions do a great job at keeping it at bay however I wanted to give Rhino Repair a go since the reviews were amazing. I bought the purple/white tube from Aromatherapy Extracts in Auckland CBD for $39.90 which is pricey but it tends to become trivial once you see the product working its magic.

It's a white semi thick cream that is easily massaged and absorbed into the skin without any film, residue or greasiness left behind. When I tested this out at the store, I didn't like the smell but I didn't pay too much attention to it because I didn't think it would be overpowering.

However I wasn't really prepared for the scent which in hindsight I could take in small doses but since I was applying it to my upper arms the scent rubbed off on my clothes and became too much. It smells like flat chocolate mixed with a faint hint of vanilla and most things vanilla turns my stomach.

The scent aside the product did wonders for my skin. The first week my upper arms remained moisturised until I washed off the cream and I could detect it was still flakey but by the 3rd week it was smooth with no sign of dry skin or flakiness.

I managed to use this for a month until the scent became too much so I passed it onto my cousin who at the time had extremely dry hands (i.e. ashy knuckles and cracked skin).

Within 2 weeks her hands were on the road to recovery and after 2 months they were almost as good as rejuvenated! I would recommend this product to others if they can get past the scent. Alternatively you could always request a sample from Oasis Beauty website or if you're in the area pop down to Aromatherapy Extracts and try it out.

Oasis's Rhino Repair is a staple in our house, as hubby and my kids have sensitive skin. I'm a big fan of Oasis products and I trust them to be safe for my family. This is one of our go-to products for when anyone needs gentle moisturising.

On the downside, I get very dry skin and I don't find this product moisturising enough to help my skin, instead always ending up using something heavier.

If you are looking for something you can trust that is packed with healing ingredients, this is a good choice, but it you need something to address seriously dry skin, I don't believe this is your best option.

I had used this product before for my eczema around my eyebrows and it cleared up over night. Is a nice gentle cream but it does have a strong smell. It didn’t work that well for the eczema around my eyes but they are quite bad but over all happy with the products results!!

I decided to try this product out because my son waa getting eczema under one of his arms and I had heard great things about this product.

I ordered a smaller tube, travel size (but bigger than a sample size) and this was enough. I found it easy to use and the texture was easily spreadable. It also had a nice gentle natural scent to it. I only used it for the purpose of trying to help my son's eczema. I felt like it did a pretty good job but was slightly disappointed with how long it took to clear the problem. We definitely noticed a difference though when we forgot to use it a couple of times.

For the size I feel like the price is a little steep for my personal budget and have found cheaper products that give me the same results so I wouldnt necessarily buy it again but definitely enjoyed using it.

I bought this product to help with a few persistent dry patches on my elbows, and to keep as a bite remedy. (Mosquitoes love me)

This cream does what it says - it is amazing at soothing cracked skin/bites/sunburn, and it really replenishes dry areas like elbows and knees.

I expected this to be more of a balm/paw paw ointment consistency - it's actually a lotion. It soaks in quite quickly, but I felt you needed quite a lot to feel like you'd "done the job".

The only downfall for me is the smell - it's kind of like chamomile tea gone bad. The smell lingers, when I first used it I remember thinking through the day "What's that smell" then remembering it was me!

I've been using the product up on my feet (I hate wasting products!) and they are in the great condition - but I won't buy it again, as for the price tag I want something I love not just like!

I read a lot of positive reviews about this cream and I had generally been happy with the Oasis products I had previously purchased so I had high hopes for this but sadly it didn't work wonders for me. I't a lovely cream and smells divine, thick but soaked into my skin so it didn't feel oily. Sadly it didn't improve my dry / eczema skin but it was definitely worth a try.

I actually won a tube of this from Oasis before I tried it myself, but that tube was destined for my brother and his family as their skincare needs were greater than mine at the time. I eventually got my hands on a sample to try (as we all know, Oasis samples are huge) and I'm kind of glad I didn't have the whole tube.

The tube is a practical, user-friendly design - probably more so than the sample pottle, but I'm not going to complain about the free, generous sample!

The product is white and has a herbal, powdery kind of scent which I don't find pleasant, and is one of the factors that puts me off using it.

It DOES work - I've tried it on abrasions, eczema, rough skin, kids hands...all sorts. But so do other things, and the scent and price of those other things suits me better.

I can see that this would be enough of a miracle product for some people that they could get past the scent...I'm not one of those people, unfortunately. Oasis make seriously amazing products, and I'm sure that this counts as one of them for many...it's just not my cup of tea :)

I was impressed with the long list of things that this cream claims to be able to soothe and treat, however after my first few uses I didn't really see that much of an improvement and in one case it got worse.

I'm a fan of those type of pot balms/salves for treatment of cracked skin, chapped lips and cuticle care but after falling for some other Oasis products and reading some glowing reviews I decided to give the Rhino Repair ago. It was quite an averagely sized tube for the price tag and honestly, I could purchase 3 tins of my regular balm for the price. After a week of using it I did see an improvement to my overall dryness on my feet, I suffer from eczema on my sole and it did help ease the itch and calm the inflammed area. However after a few weeks it stopped doing anything and in fact the dry flakes returned. I also tried it on my winter dry lips that had started to show signs of chapping around the cupid bow, it did ease the pain straight away and left them feeling slightly hydrated but it has made them even sorer the following day and I can not bear to put any more on me, perhaps I have an allergy to one of the ingredients that have my skin reacting this way but I think I will go back to what I know and trusts works.
