Antipodes Diem Vitamin C Pigment-Correcting Water-Cream
Oooh, please can we have a lifetime supply of this delicious new natural ‘Pigment-Correcting Water Cream’? Loaded with vitamin C-rich kakadu plum, it promises radiant skin and it absolutely delivers. Think back-lit, 1000 watt light bulb bright!
It’s unashamedly described as ‘anti-ageing’ because, as the years go by, our complexions seem to sprout pigmentation – age spots are most noticeable but skin tone tends to look uneven, faintly blotchily discoloured and often lacklustre. The culprit is melanin – the stuff that gives you a tan – which accumulates so stealthily that you hardly notice the changes until they’re bothersomely obvious.
Diem, as it’s called, contains Melanostatine™ 5, a natural origin peptide that has been shown to help prevent melanin synthesis. As well as super brightening kakadu plum, it features hyaluronic acid to deliver an intense shot of hydration plus bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol, to help skin suppleness.
As you would expect from this long-established New Zealand brand – one of the original pioneers of clean, green beauty – its sustainability cred is impeccable. Certified vegan, packing in kerbside-recyclable glass, FSC approved cardboard and – wow! fact here – a unique biodegradable seal that plastic-free.
After three weeks of using this every morning (straight on a clean face), we’re impressed and delighted. We think you will be too.
