Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream

I love antipodes products, such nice ingredients and really helps your skin. I decided to try out the night cream from them. I love the packaging of this item, reminds me of nature. There is a lot of product (60mL) and it lasts a really long time. I really liked this night cream, it is not too heavy. It makes your skin feel so soft and moisturised. Its super easy to rub in and a little bit goes a long way.

I got this as a mini set at Farmers because Antipodes is pricey, so I wanted to try before I committed to anything bigger.

And boy, was I NOT disappointed! My skin type is combination sensitive, so I have to be quite careful in my choice of products. I need something moisturising enough, but not too heavy. Often products leave me feeling greasy or like I need to moisturise again, but this totally ticked all my boxes. The cream rubbed in easily, leaving my skin feel wonderful and smooth. In the morning my skin still felt great. I'll definitely be investing in a full-sized version of this!

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 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.

I have recently purchased this product to use at night time, as my current product wasn't quite moisturising enough for me. This product fits the bill perfectly. Firstly, it smells just amazing, a natural pear scent that does not smell fake at all. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly into my face. I purchased the mini duo set to try this out firstly, so having it in a tube is very convenient. My skin is definitely getting that extra moisture that it needed, as it tends to be combination, and dry in a lot of places. I think it is an expensive product, so worth trying the trial set first to see if you like it and if it will work for you.

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.

This cream comes in a white tube with the Antipodes name in their brand print. It simply unscrews and opens for the product to be squeezed out. The full size comes in a pot that looks equally simple to access and use.

The product is a thin white cream that didn’t inspire me initially, especially as the scent is quite odd and very strong when the tube is first opened. I got used to this over time though.

It applies easily onto the sin and absorbs quickly, leaving a soft and plump sensation behind it.

It contains Avocado Oil, Manuka Honey, and Calendula Oil, which are all lovely ingredients and explain why it leaves such a nice feel on the skin.

I’ve been using it after the serum in the evenings before bed, and my skin feels nice and soft. The longer I use it the more I like it. It is a perfect complement to the protein–rich night serum.

It is $51 for the 60 ml pot, which is a fair price for a good night cream. I love it and would purchase it again.

I do highly recommend it to others to try.

I have recently finished a jar of this, and you know what? I have absolutely no idea where it came from. I definitely didn't purchase it... now it's driving me nuts trying to remember.

This cream smells divine (very herbal), it the perfect silky spreading consistency, and yet feels nice and heavy, which in a night cream I always equate with quality. It sinks in, and leaves the skin with a nice glow.

It is a bit small volume-wise for the price, but you don't actually need much per application. And the size of the lovely little glass bottle makes it convenient for travel. I actually soaked the label off mine, and now use it to store coconut oil (I keep the big jar in the fridge, and this smaller container in the bathroom, just in case it goes off, then I'm only throwing away a smaller amount!).

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.
