Antipodes are one of my favourite natural and organic skincare brands, and if you're looking to treat yourself to something new this payday, here are a few suggestions to add to your skincare basket.
My love for this New Zealand brand has been one that's grown ever stronger over the years, and if you haven't tried anything from them before, I urge you to have a leisurely read through my previous features and reviews for all things Antipodes related - you'll find a bunch here to start you off in the right direction. With such a vast range of skincare and body care available, Antipodes still manages to surprise me and the products below are mostly new-to-me, which I've been testing out over the past couple of weeks.
Usually at this time of the year, I'll still be reaching for the hydrating mists in my skincare routine, but thanks to this absolutely balmy warmer weather we've been having lately, my skin has been asking for something much more balancing instead. In steps Antipodes Resurrect Clarifying Toner; one of the best toners that I've tried for oily and combination skin types. Not only does it feel instantly wonderfully refreshing when you spritz it on, but it does a fantastic job of balancing oily skin which results in pores looking more refined and clearer. It also helps other products absorb better into the skin afterwards and can be used morning and night.
Oh, how I adore this eye cream! It's become one of my most frequently recommended products ever, and if I see anyone looking for a new eye cream to try out, I always suggest this one without fail. Packed full of Avocado Oil, Vitamin E, Vinanza Grape, Borage Oil and Kiwi Seed Oil, this eye cream has a beautifully rich and silky texture, yet somehow manages to feel light at the same time and is easily absorbed into the skin. It's ultra-nourishing and hydrating, but never seems to overload the delicate undereye area either. Perfect in every way - I'll always have a jar of this in my skincare cabinet.
Antipodes Halo Skin-Brightening Mud Mask* (75g, £26.99, link)
One of the newer products from Antipodes, the Halo Skin-Brightening Mud Mask was only released last year and quickly became very popular online. I've been dying to try it out for such a long time and I'm pleased to say that it really does live up to all of the hype. This mask is what I would call a true multi-tasker because it delivers so many benefits for the skin, and is fantastic if you're after a quick fix before a special occasion or night out. With a base of Kaolin Clay and Volcanic New Zealand Mud, Halo will brighten and tighten your complexion in a mere 15 minutes - it's a must try!
Antipodes Joyous Protein-Rich Night Replenish Serum* (30ml, £36.99, link)
If you're looking to jumpstart your evening skincare routine, one of the easiest ways to start seeing noticeable results is with a high-quality night serum and Joyous ticks all of the right boxes for what my skin needs right now. This intensive treatment serum contains an expert blend of natural active ingredients to eradicate signs of dryness and dehydration, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and help repair any damage from free radicals. Key ingredients include Himalayan Goji Berry which contains 19 amino acids to replenish the skin deep down; Red Raspberry Seed Oil and New Zealand Blackcurrant, both offering rich sources of essential fats such as Gamma-Linolenic Acid, and Kiwi Seed Oil to further nourish and hydrate.
Joyous has a gorgeous, natural berry-rich scent that I find very relaxing and spa-like, and it layers well underneath moisturisers and facial oils. I believe most skin types will enjoy this, especially if your complexion needs a moisturising boost and if the first signs of ageing are a concern to you, this will help to keep them at bay for a little longer.
Do you have any favourites from Antipodes?

ReplyDeleteKindest, Antipodes.
They are great! My pleasure :)
DeleteAntipodes Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream is very interesting to me. I am in the eternal search for the perfect organic cream and is always ready for the new. Kiwi in the composition of the divine smell, is not it?
ReplyDelete//Regards Karen, student
Absolutely, you need to try it Karen!
DeleteI was impressed with this brand they sent me a few products but they seemed so greenwashed you would assume the natural ingredient on the packaging is the star ingredient but when you look at the INCI list its really low down on the list and other more synthetic ingredients are higher
ReplyDeleteAndrew James - theskincaresaviour.com
Which product are you referring to Andy? I agree that sometimes one of the star ingredients are further down the INCI that I'd like to see, but I haven't seen many synthetic ingredients near the top as most of their formulas are 95-100% natural. They're not a brand that I would view as being greenwashed to be honest as their accreditations are pretty solid, but curious to hear your thoughts?
DeleteI absolutely love the eye cream too, it's not greasy at all and my eye area always looks so much better when I use it. I really like the sound of the toner, so I may try that next! xx
ReplyDeleteThe Eye Cream is a winner isn't it?! I think you'd love the toner! xx
