A god-send for my pigmentation

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.

Antipodes Apostle Skin Brightening & Tone ...

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 missed you Maree, hope you are all good. The range is pretty pricey, a little does go a long way though. :]

I'd love to try it Kim but the price makes me gulp - maybe it's too much if the product isn't fabulous. I love the Antipodes products I've tried so far tho...

Fruity and brightening

I love the packaging. It's in a glass bottle and feels super luxurious. It feels very fruity and delicious - good enough to eat!

The product is a pinky viscous liquid and your skin feels a little tingly - but a good kind. It feels quite sticky on the skin and doesn't absorb quite as well, but it feels quite moisturising on its own and since I have oily/combo skin, I don't always need to follow up with moisturiser. I feel that it plumps up my skin and makes it look brighter, and held with lightening up red spots and hyper pigmentation. Overall though, I would use it again but would like to try and find other products to see if they give better results.

Skin Brightening serum

I loved the scent of this product and it was easy to use. You can feel the product slightly exfoliating as your skin slightly tingles. I did find my skin felt really sticky after application and didn't absorb quickly like most serums and oils but after a few weeks continued use it did help brighten my skins appearance and even out my skin tone. I was really impressed with the bottle although other reviewers thought differently. I find the bottle gave the product a luxurious feel. I would proberly not purchase again as it was quite expensive and I would prefer to pay extra for a product t less sticky, but definitely the best natural product I have used for skin brightening.

Tips: Don't use to much and apply moisturizer quickly after

Antipodes Apostle Serum

I am always drawn to product that claim to brighten and correct skin tone. The product is housed in a glass bottle with a dropper.The colour is brownish and slightly viscous.It is immediately absorbed into the skin leaving no residue, it smells of all natural good for your skin ingredients. I still do need to moisturise after using this.It has helped to reduce the redness on my cheeks, and heal my blemish prone skin.The product is full of natural ingredients and doesn't have any nasties.I would definitely continue to buy this New Zealand beauty as it it truly has helped my skin look much healthier.

Tips: If you have dry skin like me,I would recommend a good moisturser after applying this,I normally use the Trilogy Night Cream

Delicious Skin Brightening Serum

This serum smells amazing!! I was very pleasantly surprised when I cracked open the bottle and the gorgeous fruity smell was released! It is packaged in a glass bottle with a dropper inside so it is very easy to get the product out and control the amount you are using, something I think is important especially when it's a more expensive product. I apply 3-4 drops after cleansing and before moisturising each night, it absorbs into the skin very quickly and doesn't leave any residue behind. My skin definitely has more of a glow since I have been using this serum regularly and I can see a different in the tone and brightness of my complexion. I love that it is a natural product, something I am always drawn to when choosing a new skincare product and it's made in New Zealand! It is on the expensive side however for me it has been worth it.

Great Product

This was a good product and had started even out my skin tone as it is very uneven but unfortunately the bottle fell on the bathroom floor and broke and I haven't bought another as it is quite pricey. Overall I found this to be a very good product that made my skin look brighter and more evenly toned without making it oily.

Tips: Make sure you keep the bottle in a safe place as it is made of glass and can break.

An Expensive Disappointment

I purchased the Antipodes Apostle Skin Brightening & Tone Correcting Serum on recommendation from a friend. I was so excited to try out this product after reading all the hype, and especially because my fair skin suffers from red patches quite frequently.

Sadly, however, this serum did nothing! In fact, each time after using it I felt my skin lost a lot of it's natural glow, becoming much duller and LESS bright and dewy! I'm not sure if it was just the way my skin decided to react, but this product certainly did not live up to my hopes and expectations.

The product itself is gorgeous, however, coming in a lovely little glass bottle with a dropper. It smells fantastic, too, and I love the principals behind Antipodes with their focus on natural, organic ingredients as well as scientific backing. A little of this serum goes a long way, so one bottle of this product would last you quite a while, too.

I have now switched to their Divine Face Oil and am hoping that I see better results from this! Fingers crossed.

The Divine Oil didn't do anything either! So bit of a bummer all round :(

Ohhh - I didn't notice a difference with my skin tone either, so as horrible as it sounds, I'm glad to see that someone else didn't have the desired results from it. Hopefully the Divine Face Oil helped?

I went through over five bottles before I quit using this serum. I liked the scent and the ingredients but like you for me it was an expensive disappointment.

In two minds.

It smells amazing!!! its Kiwi made, its actually really nice. I have noticed a slight difference in my skin tone and disscolouration, BUT not in the 5 days it states on the box. More like 2 weeks of using it twice a day. It soaks into my skin so quick and is really easy to apply. however i did find that it dries my face up quite a bit so use Ananda toner to add the moisture back. I really do like Aposlte as a extra boost for my skin, but i will come back if I start seeing more results of brightning and toning.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this one! I didn't notice a difference in my skin when I used it, which was such a shame! The smell was so beautiful though! Haven't tried out their toner yet, but I'm so keen to!

You're lucky it worked for you I used this for over 6 months twice daily and went through over 4 bottles and didn't see results. I do like this brand but this product didn't do anything for me.

Not sure this does much!

It was a good hit of moisture, but after using a bottle up I didn't notice any particular brightening. It didn't hurt my skin, but I think my face is just used to more active ingredients.

It has a watery gel-like formula with a reddish colour that soaks into the skin well, leaving a slight tacky feeling.

Tips: Put your moisturiser on straight away while this is still damp on your skin for a good hit of moisture.

@tannygirl (not sure if you'll see this) I think "natural" brands are generally really good at moisturisers and oils/serums -- usually they're very nourishing. But in terms of getting rid of pigmentation, more "active ingredients are better, eg AHAs.

I went through a least 4 bottles & applied this twice daily for over six months & it didn't brighten my skin or even lighten my light tan colored freckles. In the end I was disappointed I burned so much $$$ on this product. I like this brand though.
