I’m done my bottle of Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C serum, so I think it’s time to review it.
I like vitamin C serums to be light and quickly absorbed into my skin so that I can move on to the next part of my skincare routine. This serum does deliver in having a water-like texture thanks to the hyaluronic acid-containing base. Hyaluronic acid is in so many skincare products (serums, moisturizers, etc.) that I often feel that it’s a waste to have a serum that’s just that. I like that this Antipodes serum will give me both vitamin C and the HA so that I can add a dose of moisture-loving ingredients before sealing them in with a moisturizer. It also has some bakuchiol in it. During the day, I top this with sunscreen and I’m finding that it’s the best to have a nice and short routine. What kind of vitamin C is in here? Well, it’s actually kakadu plum extract, which is supposed to be antioxidant-rich. This seems to be a hot ingredient in Australia and New Zealand, and you’re going to be seeing it more and more.
I did show this serum on reels a little while ago – it’s golden in colour which is nice but it gets covered up anyway. Yes, I love the little dose of glow – it makes my skin look light-reflective and healthy. But I would like this serum without it too.
Antipodes is a brand from New Zealand, and is also vegan!
