Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream

I bought the Avocado Pear night cream at the same time i purchased an Antipodes cleanser and face serum to use them altogether and see how they worked. For those lucky people out there with good skin that are looking for organic and natural products I would definitely recommend this, but it did not work for my skin :(

The night cream comes in a small jar for around $50 which is quite pricey, but you only need a small amount of product so im sure the jar would last ages. I hate the jar packaging though, as it is quite unhygienic to put your fingers into the jar to use it every time, spreading bacteria from your fingers onto the unused product in the jar. The cream itself smells amazing, but luckily the smell is not irritating. It leaves a scent on your face at night which I find quite nice.

The cream is quite heavy and thick, so only a small amount is needed on your face. I have drier skin and the product absorbs into my face well but leaves some very slight stickiness on my face. The product however, was a but too thick for my liking and when I woke up, my face felt almost blocked by all the product and I would get small bumps on my skin as a result.

I might give the product a try again in the future but as for now, I wont be reaching for it before bed.

This is really as good as it sounds. The consistency is thick and a little amount of this will spread well on your face and neck .This works so well with my night time skin routine and I wake up with hydrated and supple skin. It is well worth the price and a definite keeper.

I purchased a small 15ml tube of this as I wasn't sure how my oily skin would react, and it's been fine.

The consistency of this night cream is thick, but it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The nourishing properties of avocado oil, along with antioxidants Vitamin C, A, B1, B2, D, and E, and gorgeous scent of sandalwood and manuka is both soothing to the skin and senses.

It's very nourishing and would probably be great for those with dry skin.

A nice dark brown glass jar with green fauna on the label very appealing. Ticks all the boxes with natural ingredients. This is a nice light soft cream yet rich enough for dry skin, it leaves a light oil residue that soaks in after five minutes or so, its silky smooth and doesn't dry tacky at all. This is a very pale green and has a musty minty scent with a dash off marigold, to me faintly smells of hemlock, this is not the most pleasant fragrance, but the benefits of this night cream far out way the scent. I find this enough for a night cream that leaves my skin feeling instantly moisturised and lovely and hydrated in the morning. I don't have to apply much, a little amount the size of a large pea does the job. There is no stinging nor does my skin feel any irritation and I'm sure after exfoliating my skin especially looks forward to it. Moisture is meant to be drawn to your skin using this, and I'm pretty sure it does, it contains Manuka honey and I'm sure I'm getting the benefit of that. My skin feels lovely using this cream, I like to use it all year round this is nice and moisturising. This is a divine rich moisturiser. Definitely worth a try especially if your after something extra for dry skin.

I have only in the last year heard of and tried, some of the Antipodes range of products and WOW. The night cream is simply packaged (but to be honest with you I would rather not pay for expensive packaging and a lousy product). It is super easy to apply and does not leave a thick greasy film. It is fine and is absorbed within a very short while, leaving the skin feeling really soft. I has a light fragrance which has a natural smell not a heavily perfumed smell (almost like aromatherapy oil). It is definitely top of the range and I do love it but have to use it sparingly as it is rather pricey.

I loved this night cream. Thicker than a day cream and a lovely even consistency, easy to massage in. the initial smell was a bit odd, but that passes quickly & I am ready for my sleep with a hydrated face. Left my skin feeling wonderful.

I loved most of Antipodes products. I am currently using their Joyous Night Serum so wanted to being a bit matchy matchy with brands at the moment I decided to add their Avocado Pear Night Cream to my nightly routine as well. This night cream is really moisturizing but not super heavy and thick like I thought it could be, like some anti-aging night creams. This is definitely rich but it’s more hydrating and moisturizing than emollient. I love the list of natural ingredients in this product – shea butter, squalene extract, avocado oil, active 20+ Manuka honey, macadamia oil, calendula oil, coconut oil, vinanza grape seed extract and vitamin e. I don’t know why pear is in the name since there’s no pear extracts, ingredients or even a pear scent to it. There's no added fragrance just some essential oils of sandalwood, ylang ylang and patchouli. It does have a nice mild scent that's pleasant but I'd have to really sniff to notice anything. I like to apply this after I apply the Joyous facial oil. The duo is really moisturizing for dry skin and the skin is smooth and full of moisture the next day. There are claims to stimulate type 1 collagen production in human fibroblast skin cells by up to 92% according to Antipodes scientific lab tests. I don't know if the collagen production in my skin has increased that much or even half that much because I still have the same fine lines on my skin. But my skin does feel nourished from using this. I think it would be a bit too rich for my skin to use during summer but during winter with running a heater in my room during the evenings my skin can get pretty dry. This night cream doesn't fully absorb into my skin before bed even if wait awhile after applying Joyous to apply this and apply it a few hours before bed. But it doesn't feel really heavy or uncomfortable on my skin during winter, I do have a bit of an oily layer left on my face before I hit the sack but the next morning my skin is moisturized instead of feeling tight and dry. Also despite it not being fully absorbed into my skin I haven't broken out. I also think this night cream is suited to sensitive skin as I've used it after using peels and abrasive scrubs and it's soothed my skin and put the moisture back in. It's a bit on the richer side of but it feels nourishing. I would recommend this to those that have dry or more mature skin especially those that like natural and organic products. It is pricey but a little goes a long way so a jar will last you a really long time.
