Antipodes Apostle Skin Brightening Serum (30 ml)

I grew up in the era of “tan is best” and using baby oil or coconut oil as my sunbathing aid of choice (!!!) I am always conscious of having dark sun-spots on my face. I should say that I have, for the past 20 years, been an advocate for daily facial sunblock to prevent lines and spots so hopefully I won’t damage my skin any further. I diligently applied the brightening serum morning and night (it smells nice and as it spreads easily you only need a few drops) and have to admit, that after about a month of doing this, the dark shaded area on my forehead had indeed lightened! This was particularly impressive because 3 sessions of IPL that I’d had on it the year before hadn’t really done anything to shift that. Now, 2 months later, I can barely even find the dark ... MoreI grew up in the era of “tan is best” and using baby oil or coconut oil as my sunbathing aid of choice (!!!)

Now, 2 months later, I can barely even find the dark shadow up there! I was so skeptical that these were "natural" and didn’t have any harsh chemicals so would be too weak to work but I’m very pleased to admit I was wrong. The wee bottle lasted for ages so turned out being VERY good value. I highly recommend this.

Good results

Power packed, hard hitting ingredients busy at work to clear skin of any dark spots and imperfections. Really works. However, you need to be consistent. Keep using it regularly and try to resist the temptation to switch to other products and the first results will follow. What makes this particular range appealing though, is that unlike some other concoctions out there with strong active ingredients, you have no adverse reaction from this one. It’s almost as if the skin recognises the recipe and works in synergy with the ingredients to heal and repair itself over time.I’d strongly recommend it for good results.

I've almost finished my 2nd

I've almost finished my 2nd bottle of ASSR Serum. As it dries, a nice tightening effect of the skin is felt. The sun pigmentation spots appear to be fading which is why I have bought a 3rd bottle. I am in my 8th decade and had not thought to find much benefit but there seems to be some, so I will continue.The Antipodes Joyous Protein-rich Night Replenishment Serum, which is a blend of seed oils, used over the top of the Renew Serum makes a great water-retentive seal for skin plumpness. I use it during the day too.
