I had the 10ml bottle of this, which must have lasted me about 3 months-ish. I always love the Antipodes packaging, its so gorgeous and screams nature. I have been into rosehip oils for a wee while, so I was excited to try the rosehip & avocado oil, best of both worlds! It feels lovely and silky and a small amount goes a loooong way - about 4 drops would do my face, neck and decolletage.
It is a little bit too oily for me to wear in the morning, it just doesn't absorb quickly enough for me to wear it under makeup as I'm getting ready for the day. But it is a-ma-zing when I apply it at night. It's no big deal if I go to bed with a shiny face, and by the time I wake up my skin feels gorgeously soft and nourished.
I have also used this at night underneath a nourishing mask - works wonders to just infuse even more goodness into the skin!
I love using facial oils. I find them so good for my skin just to boost any effects of my moisturiser. I haven't had particularly good luck with face products from Antipodes in the past as they are often too rich for my skin and cause me to break out but I still thought I would give this one a go.
I have this in the 10ml small tester size. It is in a dark glass bottle with a black stopper. I suppose the dark bottle is so that light doesn't get in to damage the natural products inside. I think Antipodes really had the packaging of their products well organised and I always think they look very classy and nice.
The first thing that struck me when using this product is how green it is! Initially I wasn't a fan but to be honest as you smooth this on your skin you can't tell it has any colour to it at all. It is an oil in consistency and is see through. It has a natural smell to it but I can't really distinguish anything in particular. I find as I rub this in it feels somewhat dry rather than particularly slippery or greasy on the skin. I like this as I don't want to feel like I'm rubbing cooking oil on my face. On me this sinks in really fast, but seems to leave a tacky feeling which is still there in the morning. I have been using this at night and don't think it would be particularly good for morning application as it doesn't leave a good canvas for anything else to sit nicely on top. This makes my skin look lovely and plump and moisturised. I don't think this has done anything fantastic to my skin long term but it definitely ticks all the boxes for moisturisation. Plus it didn't break me out at all which has to be great.
I still have a lot of serums and oils to be used up at this point but this one certainly is great so if you can get your hands on it I would definitely recommend it.
