Antipodes Baptise H20 Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel

I was recommended this moisturiser after I had an Antipodes facial to tackle hydration. I loved this so much in Summer as it is light enough to not make me feel overly sweaty under spf, and it is great layered up in Winter with vitamin C serum. The rose scent is light but lovely, and this sinks in so well. The hyaluronic acid in this is great and the almost gel texture makes it sink in super well into the skin.

This is one of my favourite hydrating products. It's a light weight pale pink gel rather than a cream, and has a delicious rose scent. It's very smooth, and it seems to lock the moisture into my skin - that will be the hyaluronic acid working it's magic. It's hydrating without being oily, and leaves no residue once it has absorbed into the skin. I absolutely love it in summer (or during a hot flush for us slightly older ladies) just for the cooling effect of the gel. I slather it on at night and leave it to do it's thing.

I have learned recently that I really enjoy rose scented creams and this is rose scented I find rose scented creams to be calming and luxurious. The viscosity of this is not creamy it is a gel which it is supposed to be and light pink. Light weight absorbed easily and comes in a little pot like others in the line. I would prefer not a pot though as the idea of dipping fingers in could lead to bacteria even on clean hands. This gel is soothing and anti inflammatory due to the honey and harakeke plant. You could try this on mild skin irritations such as a bit of sun burn and and dermatitis or very dry skin it absorbs easily and did not leave a heavy greasy feeling. This cream promotes healing repair by gently increasing exfoliation and I have recently seen some great skin care creams with the main addition of the hibiscus flower so I think with long term use this may undo some signs of aging. I was tempted to keep re applying this though as it is light weight so you may go through it fast. This might be good for sensitive skin. My only grovel here is it is not cheap and I would prefer to go for something that targets my wrinkles too so it depends on your targets as far as skin care goes but its a nice product.

This hydrogel is so light and easy to apply. Smells nice and feels like you have nothing on, yet so hydrating.

This is a lightweight gel formulation with a gorgeous light rose scent, it’s very hydrating and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin (personally this is their most gentle cream I’ve tried - I’ve used their Avocado Pear, Vanilla Pod, Rejoice, and Culture face creams too) I would say it’s suited to all skin types particularly combination skin as it’s a lightweight gel with no greasiness. I think this was one of their more affordable creams at around $30 from Chemist Warehouse, regardless I don’t wear it everyday it’s more of a luxury treat for me - it’s sounds strange but I mostly use their products for the sensory experience, they really do smell, feel and look amazing.

I absolutely love this product. It’s been a game changer in my skin care routine. I apply it both morning and night and it has left me with such hydrated soft skin after using it for a few weeks as part of my regime. My skin looks more bright and youthful too. As someone who suffered from acne, this didn’t make me break out nor did it make me oily! I’d totally recommend this.

This lightweight gel cream is surprisingly hydrating and works really well on my oily /combination skin. It leaves it feeling plump and soft. I actually stopped using a hyaluronic acid serum while using this moisturiser as I just didn’t need it. If you have really dry skin then you may not find this product alone gives you enough hydration. This really reminds me of the Moisture Surge moisturiser by Clinique but of course half the price. It comes in the typical Antipodes glass jar . There is a slight fragrance but it’s very subtle and because it sinks into the skin quite quickly the smell dissipates almost instantly. You only need a small amount so should last quite a while. I will definitely be buying this moisturiser again and have continued to use it ever since I first tried it.

I definitely have dehydrated skin. I usually use Neutrogena water gel cream, and this Antipodes product has similar effects. When applied to slightly damp skin it helps plump and refresh things, leaving a slightly dewy finish and fresh feeling. The scent is delicious but not over powering. I usually avoid fragrance in skincare but the Antipodes scents don’t seem to irritate me.

I was lucky enough to win a jar of this last year and I’ve fallen in love with it. It’s so hydrating and the gel consistency feels really lovely on my skin. I especially like this after being in the sun and water all day, adds the hydration back into my skin. Will definitely re purchase this product.
