Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream

This night cream is utterly delicious! I received a 10ml size tube in a little gift pack as a gift (thank you BR secret santa!!) and I am totally converted.

The first thing that I notice as I squeeze it out of the little tube is the lovely scent, I can't really put my finger on the exact smell but it is fruity and quite natural.

I only need to apply a small amount to my face and it makes it feel so soft, smooth and pampered! It does not feel greasy or heavy at all and I feel reassured that it is a pretty natural and organic product! I will definitely be buying the full sized pot once my wee tube runs out.

I highly recommend this to all!

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 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.

A nice dark brown glass jar with green fauna on the label very appealing. Ticks all the boxes with natural ingredients. This is a nice light soft cream yet rich enough for dry skin, it leaves a light oil residue that soaks in after five minutes or so, its silky smooth and doesn't dry tacky at all. This is a very pale green and has a musty minty scent with a dash off marigold, to me faintly smells of hemlock, this is not the most pleasant fragrance, but the benefits of this night cream far out way the scent. I find this enough for a night cream that leaves my skin feeling instantly moisturised and lovely and hydrated in the morning. I don't have to apply much, a little amount the size of a large pea does the job. There is no stinging nor does my skin feel any irritation and I'm sure after exfoliating my skin especially looks forward to it. Moisture is meant to be drawn to your skin using this, and I'm pretty sure it does, it contains Manuka honey and I'm sure I'm getting the benefit of that. My skin feels lovely using this cream, I like to use it all year round this is nice and moisturising. This is a divine rich moisturiser. Definitely worth a try especially if your after something extra for dry skin.

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 love most things about the Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing night cream. It comes in a beautiful glass jar, my only gripe being I worry about bacteria immediately cascading through the product once I’ve dipped my fingers in it.

The cream itself is luscious and thick but absorbs nicely. It also smells gorgeous. I have combination skin so I apply what I need, where my skin needs it, and find the dryer patches absolutely lap it up.

I apply the Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing night cream at night after cleansing and applying serums, and really feel that it’s nourishing away as I sleep and my skin feels lovely the next morning.

I have only in the last year heard of and tried, some of the Antipodes range of products and WOW. The night cream is simply packaged (but to be honest with you I would rather not pay for expensive packaging and a lousy product). It is super easy to apply and does not leave a thick greasy film. It is fine and is absorbed within a very short while, leaving the skin feeling really soft. I has a light fragrance which has a natural smell not a heavily perfumed smell (almost like aromatherapy oil). It is definitely top of the range and I do love it but have to use it sparingly as it is rather pricey.

I was so hesitant to use this on my face once I purchased it and opened it, as the formula looked pretty heavy. I was so pleasantly surprised with the formula though!!! Once you apply to the skin, it absorbs within minutes, leaving your skin so soft and nourished, plus it smells good enough to eat....I prefer to use this in the winter as a day cream too, to provide that extra hydration, and I never have any issues with it being too heavy to go under makeup at all. This is now a staple in my day/night routine and will be here to stay!!

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 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.
