Free sample of their face wash (for males). I have been using an older version of their body wash as soap irritates my skin. It was better than the regular body washes I have been using. The blurb on the web site says:
Proven to tackle spots, blackheads and excessive oils within 48 hours.
Contains micro pearls
CONTAINS marine plant extract
Skin feels refreshed
NB no expiry date given on the web site so the date above is bogus, sorry.
I've used this. It's OK. It is very coarse. I will get a free sample ;P
I recommend Benzac products for acne by the way.
By the looks of it, this Oxy brand also sells benzyl peroxide products. I might give them a go if the price is right. Not a fan of their spot balm.
Thumbs up for a free sample.
But when it comes to spending your money:
Oxy = Mentholatum Australasia Pty Ltd = Rohto Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. of Osaka, JAPAN

Patriotism sucks.
cmon much of the food we eat and the goods and services we buy are either manufactured overseas or use foreign ingredients or materials or whose companies/sellers/manufacturers are wholly or part overseas owned.
not even good old dick smith foods is really completely aussie:
http://www.crikey.com.au/2012/05/09/dick-smith%E2%80%99s-foo…
So because some of the foods and products we buy may be manufactured overseas we shouldn't at all care for manufacturing here in Australia?
Even if you buying made in Australia from local and imported at least you supporting some jobs here.
Not sure why tommy got negged so much. He is only pointing out who owns the company.
even if food or produuts are manufactured locally, so much of everthing on the market is owned or part owned by multinational corporations so the profit goes overseas. not saying it's right or wrong.
But we still get some jobs here. The companies also have to pay taxes and such.
It puts a little back in Australia. Better the product made here with some local ingredients then say China.
glad you picked up one particular country, China.
please do NOT buy anything manufactured in China by Chinese. Enjoy your better life with "the product made here". i am sure you can live very well in the bushland.
Ah the usual response.
If there is no Aussie alternate and I need the product then I will buy the Chinese product.
I'm not sure whats your problem. All I said we should just try to buy products made here in Australia. I'm a bad man because I enjoy my part Aussie made/full Aussie products? I want jobs here?
I assume my comment offended/hurt you in some way?
funny how ppl are always saying something about "made in china" in a negative way.. if no body is buying they wouldn't be selling would they?? if ppl don't like stuff made in china, why don't they go home and chuck everything they own that is made in china? what will be left in their house? no furniture, no pots n pans, no cutlery, no whitegoods/ appliances. no clothes/shoes/bags/linen. If i do that I'd be left with only my Italian boots & leather jacket!! and I won't be able to write this message cos my computer & phone are also made in china!
As an Ozbargainer I buy wherever I can get the best price, don't care where it comes from.
What choice do we have when buying things like whitegoods/shoes/clothing and technology?
I would call my self a ozbargainer and I rather have quality over low price.
@ Macgyver - Agree with you 100% mate. Although I'm not a real Aussie, I do care for the future of the country I chose to call home. We shouldn't rely on "China" too much - cheap stuffs contribute to land wastes!
If manufacturers want my money they have to bring jobs back home - ie OZ.
I'd say you're more Aussie then some that were born here.
These items once were manufactured here. My parents still had a 1970's Whirlpool refrigerator that they only recently disposed of earlier this year. I couldn't believe seeing the 'Made in Australia' on the back panel. It was eerie.. you just don't see that any-more on those items. Similarly an orbital sander they had in the garage, sewing machine… the list goes on.
Nowadays everything is sourced from all corners of the globe. That's not necessarily a good or bad thing. However, it is where the profits of the companies that manufacture and sell these things go. Some have mentioned 'jobs' above but also equally important is where a company pays its taxes and invests its profits. If here in Australia, then that is redistributed (by the government) back into our own country. Why does that matter? Well when you're older, retired and wanting to use your superannuation funds and access healthcare - how will it be funded?
I got a drill thats made in Australia.
Don't think a Chinese drill would last this long.
why the neg
If everyone thought like you we'd be paying more for everything.
for those who wish for an Australian alternative, there is also Sanctum. Australian owned & operated. Certified Organic. they have mens range, as well as women & baby range. you can shop online and prices seem reasonable.

Please tell me the sample is the same size as the picture… lol
Please update the description.. It also comes with OXY Anti Spot Balm.. It says this after you register your details..
Ordered, when I receive it, i'll leave my review.
by the time you receive it, you will be a year older and forget, besides no one will read it… lol
never got one great!!
thanks!
real men don't wash faces!!!
YEAH we exfoliate!
with steel wool of course
Do real men even know the word exfoliate? What happen to a good ol' scrub?
wet-n-dry for me!
Seriously though. I get a standard amount of ingrowns, pimples etc. Almost always when I shave with a blade more than once a week. If I use this OXY stuff even once a week, my face is squeaky clean & the problems go. One tube (?) of this stuff lasts me 6 months easily. Found it at Priceline when I was buying my shaving gel.
More than happy to pay for this product, but there's nothing like a freebie :D
I seem to have misplaced my irony emoticon.
- fogot a lot of people here were not even born when "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche", which started the meme, was published. It is humour. I feel so old. +1 on the sorbelene for skin.
I would think most people got the joke… If not, maybe I'm too old too!
Some of these products are made from sharks, I'm sure sharks are manlier than soap.
If you can't use soap, have you tried Sorbolene? Dr Karl swears by it.
pg98
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=RwrscJRxs0sC&pg=PA98&lpg…
It's great stuff!
Who is Dr Karl? It feels like i'm reading a sponsored article by sorbolene.
I think his someone I've herd on the radio, otherwise his in the tv show Neighbours.
I'm an average bloke, and I'll use 'soap' until death! All that lady's scented body-wash crap drives me mental. I don't know how men (boys) can use them. I feel horrible & slimey after using it, and they're just-plain-weird to use anyway. What, you lather-up with a loofah (spelling?). Ah jaysus.
Every couple of months, soap would finally catch-up with me, and start giving me cracking elbows, weird (crazy sore) blisters on my hands etc. ~5 years ago, I got onto that Natural Selections Sorbolene 'soap'… And I'll never use anything else. Cupboard's full of stock, and I cannot fault it!
I find everytime I use an actual "facewash" product it rapes my skin, honestly just going to stick to soap from now on.
The facewash products you have tried in the past have probably been too strong, with active ingredients that probably do not agree with your skin.
Most Oxy products tend to be Benzyl Peroxide based, which is too harsh for my skin. Not sure if this particular one is though.
Wonder what sample size it is? Will it be the small packets you find attached ot the magazines? Or more like the small bottles like the last shampoo promotion?
i like the design of that website :)
Looks like all my personalities will be getting one.
What does OXY stand for?
probably short for Oxygen
damn internet dropouts, have me repeating posts

and call them to find out what they do with the information we provide them when asking for the sample that we don't get.
What happened when you called?
i would say they are closed now.. I will call tomorrow.
Cool. Would be good to know what they say.
Makes me wonder how many samples they even had. Dreadful.
lol just got that email also :(
Ditto, took them long enough to tell us too.
Got the same email.
You'd think a company would be happy to gain exposure with their sample offer.
They gained exposure alright. Bad kind. My pimples will be going without OXY from now on!
PR fail
yup same email here!

Hey, i can count.
Turds.
Bought themselves the WORST kind of PR, and it cost them nothing.
LOL
Companies definitely need to make sure that they have the samples before they offer them.
PR fail! I am 100% the target market for this sort of product and will now never ever buy it. Good work OXY!
ha
HA! Revoking my "+" brings it down to 199…… and they still have my details. OXY 1 - Me 0.
just what i needed! >.<
