Antipodes Divine Face Oil Rosehip & Avocado Oil

I've bought this a number of times to use in conjunction with the other Antipodes products I was using. What attracted me to this was that avocado oil has lutein which offers a bit of natural protection against UV rays and being the sunscreen nut that I am decided to try this under my spf moisturizer to give my skin a little extra protection and a nice boost. While I wouldn't have been able to tell if the collagen production of my skin increased this lovely bright yellow oil did leave it soft and smooth and hydrated. I found that this was slightly heavier than some other oils like Trilogy's Antioxidant+ and rosehip oil and plain jojoba oil, and it did take longer to absorb and on occasion my face was a bit greasy but I didn't get breakouts from it. I found it perfect when the weather got a bit drier and it soaked in beautifully. I would definitely repurchase in the future.

So happy right now that Antipodes has created such a perfect, incredible product! Holy grail doesn't begin to describe this wonderful oil. I started using it almost a week ago, after trying the Antipodes Apostle serum which did nothing for my skin. WHAT a turn around! Within a few days my normally red, sensitive skin was smooth, soft, and glowing. I am now completely hooked on this oil, and can't wait to purchase the full-size product once I finish using up my sample.

The glass dropped bottle it comes in is super handy for application, three drops is all you need! As usual the Antipodes range comes in gorgeous packaging, and smells absolutely beautiful. The scent of this oil is quite sweet and herbal. I also love the natural, organic ingredients, and that this is supporting a NZ company. So great.

The oil itself is a pale yellow colour, quite fast absorbing, and feels great between cleansing and moisturising.

I always have a facial oil in my bathroom cupboard to use at night under my night cream. I purchased this one originally for my BF but it made his skin worse. So I gave it a go. I'm usually 100% fine with any Rosehip oils, but this one seemed to make my skin more sensitive and itchy. I'm unsure if it was the avocado oil in it or maybe just too potent for my skin? I'm sure for most people it works great, but my skin is uber sensitive so possibly doesnt react well. It did help with dryer areas of skin though, so possibly best to use it sparingly of you have sensitive skin.

I adore this product after sampling in its mini size. It's nourishing, I feel like my skin is being looked after. I'm glowing ,it's easily absorbed and not greasy, and the fragrance is beautiful. So I want to purchase the large bottle

I have just finished up a bottle of this oil. A 30ml face oil lasts me about two months. I probably tend to use more product than I need to but thats just how I roll!

This oil is packaged like pretty much any other face oil, it's in a glass jar (this one is tinited which I think helps to stop the oil detoriating so fast),and also with a dropper so you can get just a small amount out. I haven't used too many antipodes products before, and actually I'm thinking this may be my first product from the brand. I love that this is a more natural brand and also from New Zealand.

This oil is a beautiful amber colour. It stinks though, to me anyway. My sister didn't mind the smell but I never really got used to it the whole time I was using it. I have no idea what the scent is, but it is very strong. I forgive it though because this is so hydrating for my dry skin. It just soaks in and makes my skin feel so good. I personally like to use 6 drops, sometimes on a super dry day I might add another couple too. I use it at night before night cream but I've also used it before applying makeup and it works great for me like that too.

I do have a few oils in my stash but I think I'd most likely buy this again. I've actually started another oil and while I love that it doesn't have a scent, I miss the nourishing effect of this oil.

After using (and loving) Trilogy Rosehip oil for a long time, one of the Antipodes sales reps at the Wellington airport convinced me that this oil was the next step up. She was not kidding. This stuff feels so luxurious to apply and it absorbs really well. The results are quite noticeable, it makes my skin soft plump and hydrated.

I got this wee bottle of gloriousness in last years Beautiful Christmas advent calendar, and it's still going strong (probably because I have other oils as well to be fair) - I know Mum adored it as well and has gotten through hers!

The Antipodes Avocado & Rosehip Divine Face Oil comes in the brand-typical brown glass packaging, with a green and cream label. It looks like what it is - natural, quality, and not cheap (although not super expensive, but it's up there). I have a 10ml bottle of this oil, which is dispensed through a 'dropper' housed in the screw cap.

This smells gorgeous. It's a little softer and nuttier than straight rosehip, with a lovely silky feel to the oil. my fave way to use this is on scars and scratches, where it softens skin and aids in healing. I'm pretty sure Mum used hers on her face - oil doesn't love my face though so I tend not to cover my face in it.

If you're looking for an alternative to straight rosehip oil from a quality Kiwi company then you'll love this!

Previously I read so many good reviews of this product but now that I've tried it, all i can say is wow. This Divine Face Oil by Antipodes has evened out my skin tone and is very nourishing and works amazingly in healing up my blemishes and sun damaged skin. Using this daily, my skin has drastically improved with this. Would definitely recommend this

I was super lucky to have won a couple of Anitpodes products at a Makeup meetup last year (MakeupObsessives - FB). Skincare was one thing I lacked in . . . until I got this!!

This oil is absouletly amazing!! Usually I would stay well away from oil products as I have oily/ combo skin and the thought of adding oil to my already oily skin just didn't sound appealing to me. But, I had seen that another oily beast like myself and a fave youtuber say that oil is actually good for oily skin, I was like huh??! how??!

So when I saw that this was an oil, I had to give it a go.

The oil felt so light and non-greasy. And I loved the smell of it, it smelt fresh to me with ylang ylang, sweet orange and jasmine.

It applied to skin well and using circular motions to work the oil into the skin, it absorbed nicely. I used it day and night and my skin would feel so hydrated.

It was great to be able to use only a small amount and feel like I was hydrated enough, where with some face moistursiers I would apply several times til I was happy that my skin was hydrated enough.

I also suffered from acne scarring and I had found that by using this, my scarring was slowly fading.

I never had any breakouts so another huge bonus and reason I will re-puchase this product again.

This is the third oil I have tried on my face and I think it's my favourite so far. I initially bought a mini sized bottle of this to try it out and I've since gone out and bought it again in the full size.

I use 3-4 drops on my face morning and night after cleansing and before moisturising. I've found it gives my combination skin a good moisture boost. I tend more towards dry patches at this time of the year, especially after a big weekend, but I feel like this has been a great balancer for me.

This is a little heavier than some of the other oils that I have tried, but I have found that it just means I don't need to use quite as much at a time. Even after a morning application I find that I'm good to go for applying makeup over the top of it after waiting a short time until after breakfast.

Results-wise, I would rate this about the same as the Trilogy oil I used before it. This one wins on account of having an asbolutely delicious fragrance of ylang ylang, sweet orange and jasmine. The scent doesn't linger for long but I'm a sucker for anything that smells amazing and does the job well.

I will happily buy this again.
