Oasis Beauty Apple a Day SPF25 Review

I love this moisturiser. I bought one of their 'not quite right' batches, but the only thing off about it is the smell. It doesn't smell that great but it still works like a charm.

It is a thick, yellow coloured cream and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated all day long. It is rather expensive but it lasts for ages. The packaging is a cute tube with a pump on the top. One pump is the perfect amount for a daily application, and it has lasted me about a months so far without a major dent in the tube.

I'll start with the bad, that is that this product is expensive and I'm not entirely convinced it's worth the price tag. But onto the good... it's organic and NZ made which makes me automatically love it and justifies some of the price tag. It's also beautiful smelling and has other advantages such as being SPF25. Would be my top choice based on its properties, but not on its price comparatively.

Initially I was disappointed when I received my bottle - $39.90 for 50ml I thought, what a rip off BUT It's lasted me for around 3 months so I'm very happy with that. I apply this in the morning before makeup and use 2 to 2 1/2 squirts for my full face and neck. It dries to a fairly matte finish and is not at all greasy. Also - big thumbs up, it contains organic ingredients.

I've got to say there may have been something wrong with my batch as I cannot for the life of me pick up the apple scent AT ALL. However, due to the good value of the product and the all great effects I can't complain. My skin has taken a turn for the better since discovering Oasis products. I can't say this has improved my wrinkles but honestly I wasn't expecting it to. I'm more impressed with the all overall improvement in hydration and texture.

Big winner in my opinion is the vacuum pump - it's gets almost to the last drop out of the bottle without having to scrounge around trying to get at it with a cotton bud or furiously tapping it against the palm of your hand.

My first ever Oasis product so I was soooo excited to let it loose on my skin. For the small size and big price it better be something magical. I was not to be disappointed. I love the little pump feature always so handy so not to waste any of the liquid gold which is needed paying this much for it. The design of the bottle is so basic and boring but I can look past that luckily. For me I would give a brand more oomph and oh la la power. You are always drawn to pretty things in life and this just doesn't wow me at all.

Despite the fact that it's not eye candy it does wonders. I don't dig the smell really but smooth it on my face using just pea size dots on each cheek and my forehead. That is maximizing the product at it's best. It's very rich and creamy and rubs in easily enough. I find that it works great as a primer. I know it's not for that but it works great. It's thick enough to fill in any imperfections and hollows giving me a flawless base for my foundation....bonus! My skin is dry and red at the best of times so will drink in any sort of hydration I give it and this is no exception. It drank in all that moisture and left it feeling so full and supple.

I bring you forward 5 weeks and hello rejuvenated skin! The fine laugh lines around my eyes are smoother and my face looks better than it has in years! I am a slave to this Oasis Beauty Apple a Day cream for life if this is what I can expect. I love even more that I can moisturize and protect my skin from the sun in one go. Score! I am their new number one groupie.

I use this every morning. It doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy at all-absorbs quickly. Find that I need to supplement it with some oil during winter when my skins feels drier.

I purchased the Oasis goodie bag which came with a generous sized sample of apple a day. The scent is lovely, a very subtle apple with the signature Oasis clay/play dough scent in the background. Often with moisturizer I find it sits on top of my skin for 10 minutes before finally being absorbed. This leaves me rocking a mega shiny face if I am going to be makeup free for the day. Not so with this one, my skin absolutely drinks it in. I love the fact that it has an spf 25 as I forget to add sunscreen in the colder months to my morning routine. Having an SPF built into the moisturizer is a must for me being that I work on a farm. I am slightly stingy with this product, in that I will apply whatever cheap non spf moisturizer I have on hand to my neck, (which is perpetually white and never seems to be touched by the sun), in winter, and only apply this moisturizer to my face. If money allows I will repurchase this when I run out of moisturizer, although this is slightly more than I would normally spend.

After reading great reviews on BR and getting my butt outside running/walking daily I decided it was time to absolutely make sure I'm putting an SPF on my face daily and this was the product I knew I had to try. In the past I've had bad experience with SPF moisturisers feeling too heavy and leaving an oily residue but this doesn't have that at all! it absorbs perfectly into my skin really quickly leaving it feeling moisturised and fresh. It has a beautiful light apple scent that isn't overpowering or fake smelling and fades quickly on the skin. The packaging is great, simple yet pretty looking in a sensible, sturdy pump bottle that is easy to control. I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with this one!

I can get super dry skin so I'm on a big (and expensive) hunt to find my perfect moisturiser!!

Oasis Apple a Day moisturiser is so refreshing. It has a gorgeous scent and a simple but stylish bottle.

When I first used it, it felt quite thick on my hands so I was worried that it would feel heavy on my skin but after I applied it just felt beautiful! If you love a moisturiser to feel light and hydrating then this is for you.

It is a great base for your day to day makeup. As it was not oily on my skin, I felt as though it didn't interfere with my makeup but sunk straight into my skin and hydrated me up (If that makes sense - hehe).

I would use it again as a day to day moisturiser and I'm still loving it at the moment.

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 received this product as a large sample in the Oasis goodie bag. I am not on the market for this product as I prefer to use a BB cream if I'm organised enough to wash my face and moisturise in the morning, but if I was I'd be purchasing. The product went on really smoothly and my skin lapped it up without feeling greasy. Even an hour or two later my skin feels smoother than with other moisturisers. I have sensitive combination skin so it's a difficult balance finding a moisturiser, but this one manages to be hydrating without being too rich and causing breakouts. I love the fact it's SPF as it's so important to protect our skin in NZ.

As for the skin brightening properties... I don't feel I've used this consistently enough to comment on that. Although now I think about it my face hasn't looked this clear in a long time. Maybe I need to rethink my decision not to purchase...
