This deliciously concentrated beauty cocktail has been artfully crafted to provide corrective hydration directly to the deeper layers of dry, sensitive or prematurely aged skin.  Included is a concoction of anti-aging vitamins A, C and E to refine, firm and energise tired skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The generous dash of rosehip oil which is blended in assists to restore tired and sensitive complexions. The result a noticeably livelier, refined and naturally beautiful complexion.

My first impression of this was oh dear god it stinks, it has a very overpowering smell to it, but to be honest you don't notice it once it's rubbed all into your face, luckily!!

I got this as a trial product and am so glad I did, it is amazing for my dry skin it just sinks in. I do have to allow it a bit of time before I can moistirise.

I haven't noticed much difference in my fine lines but I have defiantly noticed a difference in my under eye discolouration, which no other product has helped with.

I have sensitive/dry skin and this product has not made me break out at all, I would defiantly recommend, and will be purchasing the bottle of this.

A definite pick-me-up for my skin

About this time last year I was having a bit of a hard time finding a skin care regimen that didn't cause itching or dry scaly skin, yet was intensive enough to improve the sun damage I have sustained over the years (the eighties was the worst time to be a teenager - we all baked ourselves in the sun :( ). After discovering this brand of skincare right here on Beauty Review, I am a real convert to this wonderful serum. It comes in a nice little pump pack which dispenses exactly the right amount of product down to the very last precious drop. A little goes a long way. When warmed up in your hands and pressed into your skin, it spreads easily and is quickly absorbed. Skin instantly feels moisturised without greasiness. The fragrance is a little assertive at first, but not unpleasant or overpowering. Most importantly, after faithful use morning and night for a few weeks my skin was noticeably less dry and sensitive. I have reduced my usage to once a day for the last few months and am still reaping the benefits. My skin is clear, comfortable and smooth. And all of this made in NZ and not tested on animals. Perfect.

The best serum ever..

Many Oasis products have quickly become some of my most adored, holy grail products. After reading fantastic recommendations on the forum for this serum, it was time to get me some!

As for some background, my skin can be dry/combination and quite reactive to some products, so I have to be quite careful what products and brands to use on my skin. Oasis seem to be made specifically for my skin, I love it.

The packaging is distinctive of most Oasis products, stylish yet simple. It comes in a small bottle with a pump, great for dispensing the right amount. I use this serum after cleansing my face at night, and then massage a small amount over my face, concentrating in the fine lines. It feels lovely on the skin and makes it feel hydrated and soft. The fragrance however, is not very pleasant for me, but I'm getting used to it.

I didn't have very high hopes for this to work in improving the dryness and fine lines, as I have tried other serums in the past and not really had any improvements. But, I have to say..wow, I just love this serum. My skin tone feels so much better and moisturised. I also feel its really helping to minimise the fine lines that were appearing..I didn't think that was possible, but I really think this serum does what it says. I will never be without this serum and so thankful I have this little gem! I can't recommend this product enough, five stars from me.

Tips: If you haven't tried oasis before, go ahead and order some samples. You will be impressed and want to go ahead to order the full size.

Moistening

This comes in a cute wee box it looks nice and natural and it is and also cruelty free, and inside is a dark brown glass bottle with a pump top, nice to squirt the right amount out and not contaminate the serum. This is a nice light amber coloured serum, it's like a oily liquid but not heavy it's very light. This has a light oily scent nearly a musty rose not to unpleasant but I'm glad it doesn't linger. I shake the bottle and do a couple of squirts and get it on my cleansed face pretty quickly otherwise my hands would slurp it all up. After a good rub in and I nearly do a wee massage, I leave it for five and then follow up with a cream, I use this at night and my face is nice and soft in the morning and is less greedy with my day moisturiser. This I've found does soak in and I'm not left tacky at all and I don't get my face stuck on my pillow over night or leave a greasy residue on my pillowcase. This serum just seems to give my skin that extra drink it's looking for and I don't get any stinging or irritation or tightening off my skin using this and that's even after exfoliating. Results are my skin is definitely smoother and softer and my moisture levels are better so a little less in the wrinkles. I do have dry skin and this does really help the moisture levels. The more I use this the more improvements I see in my skin. A little pricey but it does last and the results speak for themselves. So I'm more than happy to keep this in my face care routine.

Tips: Put a little bit more on and massage into your skin and let it soak, a little bit of luxury for your skin

I Need My Hot Toddy, It's an Oasis for Dry Skin!

Since I love Oasis' Apple a Day I had to try out more of Oasis Beauty's products, so when Oasis had their big sale, I jumped at the chance to grab a bargain and I'm glad I did. Being an oil based serum for dry skin, I really thought that it would be a bit greasy and take awhile to absorb into my skin. Omg, it hydrated and absorbed fairly quickly and didn't leave a greasy layer on my skin. It didn't break me out either, I've used this during autumn when my skin was a bit oily/combination and had no resulting breakouts, but I prefer to use this in winter as the spicy scent really hits the spot. I've been using it at night and the On the Rocks during the day but as the weather gets drier I will start using this during the day. I haven't seen the fine lines disappear using this but my skin has been soft and moisturized and it feels really hydrated but not greasy. The only con I can think of is that I need more than a pump to cover my face, neck and decolletege so if I use this twice a day with the size of the bottle I would have used up the bottle within a month and it's a bit pricey. The other con is that the bottle it comes in a clear which isn't the best of for active ingredients but that is solved by storing it in the box it came in. That being said I love that Oasis use airless pumps for their products because not only do the active ingredients stay preserved in airtight packaging but you get every last bit of product. I definitely will repurchase this when Oasis or another site has a fantastic sale or a good gift with purchase.

Tips: Best applied while your skin is damp from toner as it spreads better. I found Oasis serums work well with other brands of skincare but when paired with Oasis toner and moisturizer it seems to really compliment the other products. I found it compliments my Apple a Day and Beauty Sleep better than other brands of moisturizer. Store the bottle in the box to preserve the active ingredients. It can be a bit pricey considering the price and the size of the bottle so wait till Oasis or another site that sells Oasis products has a good sale or gift with purchase so you can grab a bargain. If you are unsure if this is for you, you can request three free samples so you can figure if it's for you, then whenever you order from the Oasis site you can request three samples with your order so you can plan your next Oasis purchase.

I had no idea about preserving the active ingredients with the box. I haven't tried tis out but your review makes me want it!

I often store my serums and skincare in my drawers so I started storing them in the box so they would be more sturdy when I opened and closed the drawer and like likely to tip over and spill out or roll further down.

I can't believe I didn't think of storing it in the box, duh! Thanks for that tip. I haven't purchased because of the clear bottle so it means I now can :) Hopefully they have a sale soon!

Hot hot hot Toddy!!

I got a wee sample of this which gave me about 5 applications. I love it! My skin was quite dry with the sudden cold snap and it cured it! I have a nice soft smooth face and I'm putting it down to this wonderful serum! It doesn't have much of a smell which I like, it's silky and goes on as an oil but absorbs quite quickly, leaving my skin soft and hydrated without any residue. I've been using it once a week before I go to bed and I feel that's all I need really. If I had more of it though I'd probably use it twice a week

The perfect serum

If you've got skin that needs improvement, look no further than Hot Toddy.

I've been using this for a couple of months now and am highly impressed with the results.

The product itself comes in a 15ml pump bottle dispenser. It doesn't seem like much but you only need 2 pumps each night to cover your entire face and neck area. I've had my bottle for about 2.5 months now and have almost finished it.

This serum is perfect in the sense that it doesn't leave a greasy residue and your skin feels so hydrated after use. I use this at night before bed, let it soak in for a few minutes, then follow with beauty sleep, and wake up with really soft skin. Such a great treat for tired dry skin. While it's not improved any wrinkles, my skin looks a lot fresher and younger with continued use. I will definitely repurchase this as it's so good.

The smell of the product is so hard to describe, Initially I thought it was kind of "grassy" but I still can't put my finger on it. Anyway it's a smell that I've really grown to love after thinking it was a bit weird to start with.

Lovely oil but not for me

When I got the Oasis goodie bag, you get one of EVERYTHING that they make. This was included obviously, and as I am a convert oil lover I couldn't wait to dig into it. I had mild success with the other two, so I was hoping for the same with this one.

Like the other two serums, this is also a golden color and it's quite lovely. I didn't notice any sort of smell to it personally, but I had gotten used to the smells of Oasis by then. I used 1-2 drops mixed in with my moisturizer, as it made both the oil and moisturizer go further. Unfortunately I didn't get to use all of my generous sample up, as it separated, something I didn't realize an oil could do.

I hate to say it, but my skin is 'young' and as this is targeted at people with older skin, it didn't really do anything for me. In saying that though, it didn't not doing anything for me either. I didn't break out, and my oil making skin slowed down a little bit on the production of the oils, so I guess that's a good thing too. I wouldn't purchase a full size of this, but maybe when my skin gets a bit older I can come back to it and love it.

Lovely product

This serum is lovely. It applies easily and only a couple of drops are needed to cover the entire face. I have only a sample size and have been using it for a week already. My skin is a little oily when it's first applied but it sinks in quickly, leaving my skin really nicely moisturised. By the morning, there's no greasy layer to wash off and my skin feels good. I feel like it is brightening my glow and I haven't had any reaction to it, which is a huge plus (happens with many good products too). I will use this one again.

Tips: Fine for sensitive skin.

Great serum apart from the smell

I purchased the full sized product last winter. A little goes a long way and it absorbs really well. Last winter this was my skins saviour, I was working outdoors on a daily basis in the cold wind and rain I had developed sore dry and sensitive skin. This re-hydrated my skin and protected it so well. After a week of using this serum my skin was glowing and felt amazing, a week prior it was sore and dry. I was really happy with this product and will continue to use it. The only downside is the smell, even though it is to be expected with natural products, I found the smell a little too organic. I would have enjoyed using it more if it had a more neutral smell.

Tips: I use this after cleansing and before moisturising. And not much product is needed. I found using too much just made my face feel over heavy and oily, so less is definitely best and keep it away from eyes.
