Antipodes is an award winning, celebrity acclaimed brand from New Zealand that uses the highest quality organic ingredients in its skincare and makeup. I have fallen in love with the Antipodes organic skincare collection since day one.
Use of Vinanza Grape and other power antioxidants in Antipodes Skincare Collection
Antipodes have been the pioneer in using Vinanza Grape to super charge their anti-ageing skincare. This ingredient has been clinically proven (backed up by two independent organisations in New Zealand) to reduce the signs of premature ageing.
Antipodes Grapeseed Butter Cleanser
This balm cleanser is suitable for all skin types but I felt it was amazing for my dry/sensitive skin. It contains a beautiful blend of cacao butter, olive and harakeke oils to nourish the skin. My skin was let super soft and hydrated after cleansing. The use of Vinanza grape helps repair the free radical damage that can lead to premature ageing. It uses lavender and blue chamomile to help calm and cleanse sensitive skin while the hibiscus bloom gently exfoliates. All the ingredients are 100% from natural origin.
I have tried this cleanser as both a first cleanse and second cleanse. It works brilliantly to remove all impurities, make up, dust and grime however I felt my skin would benefit more if I used this as second cleanse. This would give my skin a chance to benefit from all the lush ingredients this cleanser had to offer. I apply a little on my face, rub it in and then remove with a damp flannel. It leaves my skin soft, clean and ready for all the other skincare products in my routine to follow.
RRP £24.99 for 75g.
Blessing Anti-Pollution Light Face Serum
This is a very pleasant serum that comes packaged in a dropper bottle. Its such a treat to use because its a white jasmine scented serum and I love the scent of jasmine.This serum claims to be perfect for urban life and it offers protection from city pollution where poor air quality can stress out the skin and cause premature ageing such as dark spots and uneven skin tone. It contains marshmallow bloom, liquorice root, Vinanza grape, Asian ginger, kiwi seed oil and avocado oils. Together these ingredients provide a barrier against pollution, target micro-pigmentation, neutralise free radical damage, provide nutrients and strengthen skin.
I loved using this serum in the mornings after my toner. Its a super light face oil that absorbs really quickly into the skin leaving my skin feeling soft and supple. I feel, with constant use it brighten my skin tone leaving me with radiant skin. I have pigmentation due to health reasons which cant be tackled with skincare so I thought its unfair to judge this serum based on that as it made no difference to it.
RRP £34.99 for 30ml and £12.49 for 10ml.
Worship Skin Defence Antioxidant Serum
This organic skin booster features super fruits blessed with highest concentrations of anti-ageing antioxidants such as boysenberry, black currant and kiwifruit plus their trademark Vinanza Grape. It also contains coffee cherry and açai for a daily shot of youth to the skin!
It’s suitable to most skin types, especially oily. I have very dry skin and this was so lovely to use. The natural blend of ingredients defend skin cells against the oxidative stress that can lead to skin’s early ageing. It also helps to combat free radical damage.
If you need a shot of antioxidants for your skin, then you need this serum in your routine. I use this in mornings followed by a moisturiser. It smells heavenly and has a thick texture but absorbs beautifully into the skin.
My skin feels hydrated and plump after using this serum. Any inflammation that I have is reduced and my skin looks radiant.
RRP £34.99 for 30ml.
Divine Face Oil Avocado Oil & Rosehip
This oil claims to lift tired and stressed skin with its nutrient rich ingredients that help to deliver antioxidants and nourishment for healthy skin. It contains avocado oil that boosts collagen and reduces appearance of lines, age spots and scars. The Rosehip oil contains high levels of Vitamin A, C and essential fatty acids that provide nourishment and reduces the appearance of scars and wrinkles. It also contains Macadamia nut oil and Jojoba oil with a lovely scent of sweet orange, jasmine and ylang-ylang.
This oil comes in a dropper bottle and it’s suitable for all skin types especially dry and combination.
Having used this face oil for the last few months, it’s fair to say this oil is truly divine. It’s worked wonders for my dry skin. A little goes a long way so I use a few drops just before my moisturiser and let this oil do it’s work. It leaves my skin so nourished, hydrated, plump and baby soft. I don’t use many face oils in my routine but this is one I would never be without. It doesn’t take long to absorb and it’s so calming for my irritated skin. I sometimes mix a drop in with my moisturiser for a light antioxidant boost.
RRP £22.99.
Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream
This cream is the winner of the Natural Health International Beauty Awards In 2015. It contains Shea butter, Manuka honey, avocado oil, macadamia nut, Rosehip oil and Vinanza grape. It’s intensively hydrating but super light to use. It’s perfect for using under make up too as it absorbs beautifully.
This gorgeous moisturiser is perfect for all skin types. It leaves my dry skin fresh, hydrated and nourished. The cream contains no nasties as with all other products in the Antipodes organic skincare collection and it doesn’t irritate my sensitive, eczema prone skin. So if you are after a light moisturiser that gives your skin a shot of amazing natural ingredients then this is for you!
RRP £29.99 for 60g.
