I find that the almond cream works really well at night, and if my skin is feeling dry, I mix in a little rosehip oil. It’s soothing, absorbs quickly and is a great produc tto use under make-up also. A wonderful all-roudner and a life saver for me!” - Roxane E.

3. Best anti-wrinkle moisturiser: Antipodes Avocado & Pear Night Cream


  • Bestselling moisturiser for hydrated, healthy skin
  • Scientifically shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles & stimulate collagen production
  • Full of nourishing plant oils & skin actives

Healthy skin tip:
Night creams have richer formulas. Day creams are lighter and designed to be worn under make up. After deeply nourished skin, or a healthy glow on no-make-up days? You can use night cream in the morning too.

“I have ‘mature’ skin and was given a small tube of this night cream. Within a week of applying every night, the wrinkles and lines are noticably less and my skin is looking younger. Well worth every cent of buying the pot of it.” - Philippa R.
