I was excited to try this serum, I really enjoy the results I have had in the past. I decided to try Antipodes as it is a New Zealand made brand and is ethical. The serum comes in a 30 ml glass bottle with an eye dropper for ease of application. It has a nice label, pale in colour with black writing stating the all important information that you need to know.
I followed the suggestion to apply liberally to face, neck and decollatage morning and evening. I followed this routine morning and evening but unfortunately by the time I had finished the bottle I had not noticed any difference in my skin tone, no brightening or no less of a dull look .
The serum itself is one of Antipodes water based serums. This is the first time I have ever used a water based serum and I did enjoy using it. It absorbed really well and left absolutely no residue. It is an unusual colour, it has an ingredient from pinot noir grapes so it is sort of a murky pale reddish colour, hard to describe. Despite the colour it smells pleasent.
There is a lot to like about this serum, but for me it just didnt live up to its said purpose.
I have gone through a couple of bottles of this, and as a person that gets pink marks after spots, it has been such a help. This has meant that I can wear less foundation and concealer, as there is less to cover-up. I also think that it speeds up the healing from spots I have picked at too (sorry, not sorry). It has a light almost fruity smell to it that does not bother my sensitive skin. I would recommend this to people who enjoy natural skincare products, and it's a bonus that it is cruelty free and New Zealand made.
Tips: It is quite liquidy, so make you just pop a small amount on the back of your hand. You can always put more on if you need, but a little goes a long way.
