Oasis Beauty Berry Tonic Review

I cannot get over the delicious smell of this tonic! Once sprayed from the clean, simple bottle you are met with the fragrant scent of berries. (I tend to spray it onto my face 3 to 4 times) The tonic is light and refreshing on my skin and effective in getting rid of the last of my make up. I have been experiencing less break outs since using Berry Brightening Tonic but have also been using Oasis Beauty's knock Out moisturiser alongside this tonic and their Straight Up Serum a few times a week. I haven't really noticed a difference in my pore size and I don't think it brightens my skin but I its till a great product.

I use this toner as part of my every day skincare routine and I'm happy that I now have two toners that work for my sensitive skin after years of trial and error.

I must say the toner has a berry scent that I hate; it took me about a week's worth of application until I was used to it.  It's not unpleasant it's just not the kind of berry scent I like.

I love how it leaves my skin feeling clean and ready for moisturiser. I wouldn't say it leaves my skin feeling soft but definitely firm (not tight).  As I'm getting older I don't break out too often (unless it's product related) so I can't comment too much on whether it keeps my break outs under control.

If there is one thing I've noticed about this product it's the brightening effect.  I've been using this product for about 3 months and I have noticed how much brighter my skin appears. Now I'm not saying I'm a ball of light haha but when I look in the mirror my face appears to have a healthy natural glow.

The one thing I hate about this product it's the packaging - this is the first toner I've seen with a spray nozzle.  I prefer to use cotton pads to apply my toner but using it this way for this toner just wastes so much product.  I'm not too keen on spraying it on my face either but I've been moving towards applying it this way - still some wastage but not as much as the cotton pads.

If you're in the Auckland area Aromatherapy Extracts (Downtown) stocks the full range or you can order online from Oasis.

This product is so lovely. It really lives up to it's berry name, as the smell of berries smacks you in the face as soon as you put it on a soft cotton pad! It's really divine, and it's probably the nicest smelling toner I've ever tried!

The product itself is clear and feels like water. It isn't sticky, which is awesome if you spill it or get it on your fingers. I tip my bottle onto a cotton pad several times, enough to get it wet through but not dripping. I swipe it over my face, and then repeat with the same cotton pad. It just feels like water, but smells like delicious berries and makes my sweet tooth crazy.

My face feels great afterwards. The product takes a while to soak in, but it's not worth worrying about because it goes away. I don't think it firms, but it doesn't make my skin tight either, and it is a perfect before product that preps your face for moisturizer.

As this is the only toner I've tried and liked, I would definitely consider repurchasing!

I've never really used a toner, only when I've had facials and such has it been on my face so I thought I'd give this a go. It smells divine! The berry scent really does make it all that much nicer to use. It doesn't burn or sting my blemishes after a good wash which I have always struggled with. I didn't really see any brightening to my skin but then I wasn't looking for the difference either. A really good toner in my books :D

I tried this product together with their cream cleanser and I’m really not sure about this toner, it’s ok and does its job all right, but nothing phenomenal. I think I just expected to be blown away since the price is so high, but I understand it’s because it’s all natural and when they first came out with this we didn’t have this many options for clean beauty, but we have lots of natural products on the market now that are more affordable and do the same job.

I jumped right in the deep end with this one and after cleansing my face I proceeded to apply this to my face and neck on dry cotton pads... oops. I had a massive reaction after doing this and ended up having to wash my face over and over again with ice cold water and use an ice pack... eek, I looked like I had a bad acid peel. But... And I say this excitedly... after waiting a week and reading on Oasis website (how helpful are they) that you can apply using a dampened cloth or cotton pad... So I gathered up some courage and spot tested using the pre-moistened test... YAY, no reaction! So with this under my belt I continued to use and graduated to using less water and more product and I have to say my skin loves it... less spots, better skin tone and softness.

I love how you can just dab it on to a pimple and it speeds up healing. The scent is light and fruity as you would expect from the name... but it is quite subtle and not at all overpowering. The packaging is quite basic but efficient... and I Love the fact that this is a Local company with great ethic and customer support. Would have rated it higher but for the initial (due to my lapse in judgement) reaction.

Unfortunately this tonic was a no-go for me. The first time I applied it, I was really impressed by the beautiful berry scent (I'm a sucker for nice smelling toners!) and loved how it didn't make my skin feel tight immediately after. Unfortunately however, my skin reacts to one of the ingredients in this tonic, so soon after applying I had red, angry looking smear marks all over my face where I had swept my cotton pad. I didn't have any pain, just a slightly uncomfortable warmth and a tomato face. I tried again on a separate occasion with a wet cotton pad and still had some redness. In the end I have added my sample to the remnants of my witch hazel in a spray mist bottle to water down the product but still have some of that lovely scent. This has had the best result, but I still only use it at night so I don't have to worry about concealing any redness that may occur in the day. I don't typically have sensitive skin, and cant really see myself spending $33 on a full size product, only to have to water it down for every use. Love Oasis products, but this one just didn't work for me.

Oh man I so wanted to love this but I had the worst reaction to it & that's saying something. I have normal to slightly oily skin that is not sensitive & I barely ever have reactions or rashes from things so I was very surprised when this made my face feel like it was on fire. At firstly it smelt just heavenly & I couldn't wait to try it out. I dosed my cotton pad & applied, it felt sooo beautiful and fresh but 3 mins later I was burning up. I thought it might have been some kind of reaction between this & a the moisturiser that I then used, but I had the same thing happen the next time round. So because of this I can't really recommend it - or if I do I say proceed with caution. Sorry guys :(
