The Ten Best Face Serums in New Zealand - by Real Kiwis

13 January, 2018 - 08:37pm by - First Lady | 32 Comments

by BR Natalie

Serums.  If you're already using one, chances are you can't imagine life before it.  If you're not already on board, why not?!  If I had to guess I'd say...overwhelming choice! 

So here's a list of the 10 best serums to narrow down your options.  And it's not based on brands, editors or even the Beauty Crew's opinions.  As if!  We present New Zealand's Top Ten Serums as rated by shoppers that have bought them and used them - that's you!

Trilogy Very Gentle Calming Serum.  Rated: 4.8/5

They Say:  Soothe the weakened skin barrier and calm fragile or irritated skin with this gentle, first defence rescue serum.

You Say: SOS for your skin! It's a nice product to have if you suffer eczema or very sensitive skin and you sometimes can't use products, you could just use this alone as a gentle moisturiser. It comes in a 30ml bottle and as with the other [Trilogy] products a little goes a long way so it's good value and I am adding this to my skincare regime. It's a must have for me now!  Beauty Reviewer: JennyWren

Oasis Hot Toddy Serum.  Rated: 4.7/5

They Say:  This deliciously concentrated beauty cocktail has been artfully crafted to provide corrective hydration directly to the deeper layers of dry, sensitive or prematurely aged skin.

You Say:  This re-hydrated my skin and protected it so well. After a week of using this serum my skin was glowing and felt amazing, a week prior it was sore and dry. I was really happy with this product and will continue to use it.  Beauty Reviewer: Salem29

 

Antipodes Divine Face Oil.  Rated: 4.5/5

They Say:  Give a lift to tired, stressed and sun-damaged skin with this nutrient-rich face oil that helps to deliver antioxidants and essential nourishment for fresh, healthy skin.

You Say:  The best part is waking up with soft, smooth and hydrated skin! I personally used this as part of my night time skin care routine and absolutely loved it. One of those items that will be permanently on my repurchase list.  Beauty Reviewer: katenisbet

Oxygen Ultimate Botanical Serum.  Rated: 4.4/5

They Say:  Experience the revitalising and clarifying benefits of using a highly concentrated formula created created with local NZ hops, along with organic camellia and apricot oils.

You Say:  The serum itself has a really unusual consistency, it looks creamy, but feels fluffy - it's divine!  Since using this my skin is more supple, I have not had any breakouts, and it has a soft sort of radiance to it. This really is liquid gold!  Beauty Reviewer: SandieNZ

Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil.  Rated: 4.4/5

They Say:  For those who are time poor or can not fit a regular facial into the budget, this is the perfect product which combines the positive effects of an indulgent facial into your daily skincare regime.

You Say:  After a few days of regular use I noticed that my skin looked a lot brighter and healthier which is great at the moment as I am not the healthiest so anything is a bonus! I've also noticed that scars on my face are far less noticeable. My skin also feels a lot softer. I would absolutely recommend this oil and it is definitely worth the slightly higher price. Beauty Reviewer:  Justinet

Trilogy Very Gentle Restoring Oil.  Rated: 4.3/5

They Say:  Repair and protect sensitive skin with maqui berry, apricot, and sea buckthorn.

You Say: It's super gentle, leaving no irritation, and is calming for flushed, irritated skin, while really restoring winter-ravaged skin. The morning after using it my skin is lovely and soft and supple, and I have had no break outs with it. You only need a few drops to get maximum results - I can't recommend it enough!  Beauty Reviewer: KiwiLass

Trilogy Nutrient Plus Firming Serum.  Rated: 4.2/5

They Say:   Perfect everyday, or for special occasions, it's the ideal skin pick-me-up for a youthful look and feel.

You Say:   This is one of those crazy products that you stumble across, where you can see and feel the difference right away. It really sunk into my skin quite quickly and felt it start to tighten. I just couldn't get over how amazing it was.  Beauty Reviewer: Katya

Evolu Rosehip & Friends.  Rated: 4.2/5 

They Say:  This gentle facial oil is your skin’s daily infusion of radiance-renewing goodness, powered by a unique synergy of skin-friendly botanicals.

You Say:  All in all the price tag, the size of the bottle, the fact it is full of natural goodness and the way my skin glows when I use it is definitely a cause for recommendation, it's really lovely and feels a lot more luxurious that it's $29.99 selling price. Also it's an NZ brand, what more could you ask for!?  Beauty Reviewer:  LLL1985

Trilogy Age Proof CoQ10 Booster Oil.  Rated: 4.1/5

They Say:  Age Proof CoQ10 Booster Serum is an intense treatment formulated to deliver a glowing radiant complexion while reducing the signs of premature ageing. 

You Say:   This is an amazing product! I've never been one to spend this kind of money on one of the so many products that claim to improve wrinkles and fine lines but, it was given to me as a gift and I can not stop raving about it . It is expensive and not to mention tiny but such a treat. I received alot of compliments on my skin from work mates and I had to stop myself from carrying on so much about it because I was starting to sound like I held shares in the company.  Beauty Reviewer:  Nova 

Living Nature Radiance Night Oil.  Rated: 4.1/5

They Say:  With Rose Oil to naturally stimulate your skin's own collagen production, Organic Rosehip Oil to aid cell regeneration and repair damaged skin tissue.

You Say:  Its now been 1 month since using the Radiance oil both morning and night and I cant imagine living without this product. My fine lines have reduced immensely, each time I get scabs they heal quickly and the dryness around my nose has disappeared. I love how it gives my skin a glow without makeup and when I do apply foundation or makeup it doesn't crease under my eyes and I dont use as much foundation as I normally do because my skin is really good. Beauty Reviewer:  Lutece

Oh my goodness so much trilogy stuff! I still haven't found much about the brand I should! The serum I have just bought us one I tried first through BR!

15th October, 2022

Gosh and all those years ago I discovered Oxygen’s serum and loved it. I must get my hands on some more.

30th January, 2018

I've been using The Ordinary Advanced Retinoid 2% and Kmart's (yes! hella bargain) Vitamin C Face Oil (three whole dollars y'all). Though not technically serums, I use these products in the same way, at night after cleansing. My acne flared up recently and I wonder whether it is the retinoid? most online articles promote retinoids for acne so I am confused. It is probably just hormones.

29th January, 2018

Absolutely love the Oxygen serum!!! My latest fave is the Flawless Serum by Cosima - although re-reading that review on the Oxygen one reminds me how much I loved it!

28th January, 2018

Yes I love the trilogy serum! Very happy it made the list. I've heard great things about the linden leaves one but never tried it.

27th January, 2018

The Trilogy gentle calming serum really is very divine!

27th January, 2018

Would love to try something targeted to healing acne scars and regeneration! The linden leaves one sounds good

27th January, 2018

I have only tried the living nature one but not really long enough to review it well. I use serum on my forehead and around my eyes only really.

27th January, 2018

The Oxygen serum sounds really interesting. I think I need to go so some research and find out where to purchase it from.

I’m currently using a serum and oil from Drunk Elephant and while they are really lovely and my skin looks amazing the price tag makes me hesitant to buy them again.

25th January, 2018

I don't use a serum. My skin just does not like them.

25th January, 2018

I love serums. They saved my skin

25th January, 2018

I loved the Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil when I got chosen to trial it. I want to try the Antipodes Divine Face Oil as well as their other range of oils, I've heard great things about them.

25th January, 2018

I've only tried two and am using both at the moment and they didn't make the list. I have The Body Shop Oils of Life, (it's okay) and the Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Facial Serum which I love!

25th January, 2018

Loooove anything by Oasis!

25th January, 2018

Serums are my best friend I must admit there are quite a few on this list that I haven't tried Yet
