I normally love Antipodes and unfortunately I couldn't get this as a little tester so bought the big jar. I used it once all over my face. The texture is lovely, light and easily absorbed. The perfume is a little citrusy and not too overpowering. I was hoping to use this instead of my Drunk Elephant Vitamin C serum. But the next day my skin was all bumpy and itchy. I took a break and used just rosehip oil for a number of days. Just tried again just behind my ears and same result. I wanted to love it. But it wasnt for me.

Reviews
I was sent this to trial before it was released on the Antipodes website. I have now just repurchased it as my day cream. The silky texture, light fragrance as well as the way it beautifully sinks into the skin is lovely. I feel hydrated and my skin looks glowy throughout the day. In all fairness I do use a vitamin C serum and have since Nov 2021, so I cannot say my skin improvements in scarring, dullness and discolouration are all down to this product but I do enjoy using it daily and would recommend.
Tips: Layer up a vitamin C serum and hyaluronic acid underneath for ultimate hydration and brightening.
I liked this cream, I usually use a vitamin c so tried this. Not 100 percent sure it was as beneficial as a serum but it went on nicely & felt smooth. Used it underneath my moisturiser. Skin felt smooth after using.
I was really excited to try this as I was having issues with dull skin and noticed a few age spots appearing. I loved the packaging, the texture and especially the smell so was off to a good start. It was really nice to apply however I noticed my skin did not feel that hydrated, I did use it in conjunction with the serum which helped however when I ran out of the serum and used the cream alone I was not happy with how dry my skin felt and it looked dull. I continued to use the cream to see if any difference was made to my age spots and did not notice any difference. I would recommend it a friend to try as everyone's skin is different and it may work really well for someone else so do not be put off trying it...
Tips: Use alongside the serum
I like Antipodes - love some products and like others actually, so I thought I'd give this a try. And I like using products that contain Vitamin C.
I bought the 15ml tube which is probably enough for me. The tube is white with Antipodes branding. It has a screw top, simple to access and use. The product itself is a thick pale orange cream with an odd but not unpleasant scent. When applied after cleansing, it absorbs quite well and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. The product claim is that it will help address pigmentation, age spots and discoloration for glowing skin. It hasn't made any noticeable difference to my skin tone but the hydrating aspect does leave my skin looking healthy and feeling soft.
So for me, it's not the best product of this type, but it is a good product of this type. It is definitely worth a try but Antipodes have so many lovely serums and oils, that one of those would be my personal preference for spending my money.
