First of all I have to say that I have never, ever yet been disappointed by any of the products that I have tried & reviewed by & for OZ Naturals. And this serum is no exception. I did receive this product for free for an honest review, and my reviews are always honest in my opinion of whether or not I like or dislike a product. I honestly love OZ Naturals, and they are my Holy Grail skincare line of products.
As I have recently become a Cosmetician & Beauty Advisor, I am fully aware of the benefits of retinol and of both the positive & negative effects it can have on the skin. I have the perk of trying many brands & their products that contain retinol, and honestly, I have found them to be too strong for my skin, and I do not have sensitive skin at all. This Oz Naturals Retinol Serum is very gentle on my skin, and I suffered no redness, no dryness, nor any tightness with the exception of the tightening and firming of the skin that it is supposed to do. Absolutely no irritations at all, no stinging or peeling skin like I had experienced with other brands before I started using this serum from OZ.
I have been using this serum for about 4 weeks now, pretty much on a daily basis, and I am totally impressed with the results thus far. My fine lines around my eyes have noticeably faded away & the skin has seemed to be a bit firmer. I have not experienced any breakouts at all, which I used to at least on a monthly basis, and my face seems to be glowing a bit more, even though we are now in the drying winter months. My oily T-zone has not appeared to be as shiny nor as oily either, which has made me quite happy. Actually, my entire face and neck feel so much softer & silkier since I started using this serum, which is why I will continue to use it faithfully.
Again, one of the most important features of OZ Naturals' products to me is the fact that they are animal cruelty free. This rates as Number 1 when I purchase & consume a product.

I've been lucky enough to have to both try & to review the new Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Anti-Aging Moisturizer, & have been using it daily since late November 2015. This product will not be available until this February 2016, so I have been very fortunate to have received it in advance. I recommend that it be picked up in the new trial size if you want to smooth your fine lines & wrinkles, and protect your skin's surface, especially now that we have entered the winter season. This product does all of this & more, and also has a light clean smelling scent. It's also very fast in its absorption, & is also oil free.
However, to be perfectly honest, it didn't "wow" me at all, & I didn't see where it visibly reduced any dark spots or under eye circles at all, which I was hoping it would help with. It is a great moisturizer though, clearing up my recent dry patches on my face.

I have yet to become disappointed with any of the products that I have used by OZ Naturals - they are top-notch in my books! And this facials mask did not disappoint either. I love the fact that you can use this product daily; however I will probably use it 2-3 times per week instead, unless I happen to find the winter season to be harsher on my skin.
I started by thoroughly cleansing my face, then followed by some exfoliation. I applied the mask & left it on for about 20 minutes, as my skin was quite dry at the time, so I wanted to see how it would fare. And I loved it!! I really love the gel texture of it when it comes out of the tube, & the fact that it does not feel tight on my skin at all; it was very lightweight, not heavy feeling like other masks. There is a slight scent, but that has never been a concern of mine. When I rinsed it off, I couldn't believe how soft my skin felt afterwards! It was like silk! I felt like the mask's ingredients really did penetrate my skin & pores. I'm guessing that it's the aloe vera juice base that is the key to this, and where my skin does tend to be acne prone from time to time, I noticed that this mask does help with also healing & relieving those flare-ups. The rosehip oil also helps with this, as well as helping to smooth my fine lines that are starting to appear on my face.
This mask is definitely going to be a welcome addition to my skin care routine, compliments of OZ Naturals. I received this product in exchange for an honest review from OZ Naturals, and this review is my take on the wonderful product.

First of all, before I forget, I received this product in exchange for an honest review from OZ Naturals, and, as always, am not at all disappointed with any of their products!
When I first received this toner, I had just finished using/trying another toner that had left my skin with some bad breakouts around my nose & chin area, so I was a little nervous in trying this product until my complexion cleared up first. I think I only waited about 3 days or so, as I was quite anxious to try this one. And am very happy that I did, as the toner seemed to work much better straight away. I love that OZ's products are 100% natural & am sure that's why their products seem to work so much better than some others that I've tried.
The first day that I used the Ocean Mineral Tonic, I was at our family cottage on the beach, so how appropriate was that, lol? The scent reminded me of the ocean immediately, although the scent does only last a few seconds before it's gone. But the main element of my curiousity was the fact that this toner is a spray, something I have never heard of nor used before. I like this idea much more than the conventional bottle as I find it easier to control how much product I am using. I also love that I can spritz on this toner throughout the day when I need it, but this is when I also wish there was a "travel size" bottle of it so that I do not have to carry around the full size in my purse or makeup back. I also use this toner sometimes when I get out of the shower as an all-over body toner before I apply my moisturizer, just to add a little extra kick to my dry legs after shaving.
I am also happy to say that I can see where this toner works perfectly with my other OZ Naturals products. I use the toner after I cleanse my face with the Vitamin C cleanser & before I apply my Vitamin C serum & my Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer. And so far, no further breakouts have occurred since I have started using this tonic. I even received a compliment from a new colleague at work that I don't even look my age. so we must be doing something right!

First of all, I thought I was getting the OZ Naturals Body Souffle, which is also what my order confirmation from Amazon said that I was getting, as well as my code that was given to me from OZ Naturals, but what I received when I opened my package was the Sweet Almond & Macadamia Nut Body Butter instead. No big deal, because I absolutely fell in love with this moisturizer as soon as I opened it & applied it to my skin! I really liked how silky & soft my skin felt immediately after putting it on, and it felt great on my really dry legs. I use it after each time I do shave my legs & I can't believe how my skin just drinks it in, even my feet. I wish I had discovered this product during the winter months, but I can used it during the summer months & I loved the slight shine that it also has. It was great for my summer look, especially after a day at the beach where the salt wreaked a little havoc on my dry legs!
I haven't used this product on my face, however, mainly for the fact that I have an oily T-zone and the rest of my face is normal; plus the fact that I do not want to have a shiny face. I do love it on the rest of me though, and I like that it is not heavily scented at all. Do give it a few moments to absorb on your hands, though, as it is a little slippery afterwards.
Overall, I do love this Body Butter, and will continue to use it in the future!

I have been absolutely enjoying this retinol moisturizer since I received it just over 3 months ago. I have been using this product in conjunction with the Vitamin C serum & my skin is absorbing the moisturizer immediately. So far I have not experienced any redness nor dryness on my skin, which can happen with retinol products.
My skin feels great & I really like the fact that I do not need to squeeze out a lot of product, as a little goes a long way - I can see where this tube will last for quite a while. There is also no scent to this moisturizer either, so again, I have not experienced any sensitivities.
I also must say that I love OZ Naturals & am so very happy to have stumbled upon them. The very fact that OZ is cruelty free is a big deal with me and a primary reason why I will continue to use their products.

I've been really liking this serum a great deal since I received & started using it a few weeks ago. I have a few products from OZ Naturals now & enjoy all of them, but so far, this is one of my favourites. I've been using this serum more so at bedtime with my favourite eye cream. I've been, very carefully, lightly dabbing this around my eye area, then spreading out to the remainder of my face, then once it dries & settles in, I add my overnight eye cream. What a difference that I have been noticing! When I wake in the morning, my eyes feel so plump (in a good way) & moisturized, & I am starting to see a bit of a difference with my recently developing crow's feet. So I'm thinking that this serum is now one of my Holy Grail items!! I do use this, as well, with my Vitamin C serum, as I also find the 2 products work great with each other - I don't pat the Vitamin C serum around my eyes though; I use this one instead.

I have received this product free in exchange for an honest review. However, it would not have mattered if I hadn't received this product for free, as I am honestly using, enjoying, & loving ALL of the Oz Naturals products that I have been reviewing thus far!
I was curious to try this cleanser, as I have been using its counterpart, the Vitamin C Serum for a few months now. I find that these 2 products definitely compliment each other. I have used many facial cleansers over the years but had never known, nor heard of, an anti aging facial cleanser before. I do use this cleanser with my Clarisonic system, and I honestly find that it does cleanse my skin thoroughly, and is not harsh nor drying at all. I am a fan of gel cleansers, so I was very happy to see that this was also one, and it lathers up nicely. There is a slight scent to it, but is very light & rather "clean" smelling; definitely not over-bearing at all. Also, you do not need to squeeze out very much of it, so I am guessing that my tube will last for some time, even when using it twice a day.
I have also noticed how it is helping with my monthly hormonal breakouts - yes, at 46 yrs of age, I do still get them, but not nearly as bad or for as long. My freckles have also faded a bit, which is great news for this fair-skinned girl who has yet to embrace them!
The other reason I am so impressed with OZ Naturals is the fact that they are CRUELTY FREE! I am all about that these days, which is why I will continue to use this, and the other products that I currently have. Also the fact that OZ is organic; 72% in the case of this Vitamin C cleanser, so there is no alcohol or other additives to irritate the skin. So far, I do have to say that the OZ Naturals skincare line is the best I've used; they are definitely my favourite!
