Antipodes Hosanna H2O Intensive Skin-Plumping Serum 30ml

I have been using Hosanna H2O Intensive Skin-Plumping Serum since I discovered it 7 or 8 years ago. I use it morning and night and still love it very very much. This serum is very light weight, it hydrates without clogging my skin. I used to have oily acne prone skin. I’ve tried many products from cheap to expensive brands until I met Hosanna H2O. When my skin is hydrated, it stops producing excess oil which clog my pores and caused acnes. Now my face pH is adjusted by the serum and I won’t look elsewhere for other serum again. My daily routine is a few drops of Hosanna (for hydration) and Worship (for aging) serums before my moisturiser. Both serums have floral fragrance, it’s beautiful to start or finish the day. It’s fast to absorb and won’t leave your face ... MoreI have been using Hosanna H2O Intensive Skin-Plumping Serum since I discovered it 7 or 8 years ago.

Antipodes Serums are fabulous as is this one.

My skin loves it and I use it morning and night as a first layer before I moisturise. It dries quickly, too, when applied which means I can add my moisturiser pretty quickly afterwards. I've tried all the Antipodes serums and each one is very active and effective.Thanks Antipodes. I'm a total fan because of your fabulous sustainability packaging AND your beautiful, effective products. Love, love, love!

Great product

I have been using ultra-hydrating products as my skin is dry, and I am delighted with the results. I love the texture and smell of the cream; it leaves my skin smooth, plumed and hydrated throughout all day. My husband also loves it. I will repurchase it. Thank you Antipodes!

HG serum for me

Hosanna is easily my HG serum. I'm now on my 7th bottle. This easily sinks into my skin, making it feel smoother, softer, and plumper. Amazing after exfoliating, and my go to when my skin gets dehydrated. I typically use it at night before my moisturizer or the Antipodes Divine face oil. This will always be a part of my routine!It also smells incredible. Not aggressive, just fresh and pretty and natural.

Hosanna in Excelsis!

I've never used a serum before, this came as a freebie. I wouldn't normally reach for a "skin plumping" product either, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the results. My skin is visibly smoother, more supple, and brighter. I definitely think my skin looks fresher somehow! It's also a really nice part of your skincare routine between cleansing and moisturising, it feels luxurious, and you only need 3 drops to get really nice coverage. It smells good too!

On the fence.

This is a somewhat watery serum that you can pad onto your face. I find about four drops. That’s the trick unless you are also doing your neck. Rise down quickly not really add anything as far as moisture, but it does make the skin feel a little bit more firm. You definitely need a moisturizer over top of this. My final analysis would be this is a nice product to add to your repertoire if you have the cash to splash around, but I do not find it a necessity. If you are very oily or acne prone, this would be definitely be a good replacement for a moisturizer.

Tried the mini, bought the full size

This product review was left on the full-sized version: I have dehydrated, yet oily, skin so I struggle finding products that work/make much difference. I already use a good hyaluronic acid serum for hydration so I like that this serum uses other hydrating ingredients so I'm not just doubling up. I mix this with my HA serum morning and evening and I do think it makes my skin look more nourished. It comes out of the bottle a brown colour but goes on completely invisible. Sinks in well and quickly and doesn't leave any sticky residue so it works well when layering other products on top. I think this is going to be a regular purchase item

Very hydrating

I find the serum very hydrating, and not at all irritating for my sensitive skin. However my skin doesn't feel plumped up after using it. (My dehydration is a side effect of anti-convulsant and antidepressant medication that I've been taking for many years.)I'm yet to find anything that can overcome dehydration as severe as mine. This works well, although I wouldn't call it miraculous.The smell is pleasant but not overpowering or artificial.(I don't mean to be critical, but the terms you have used for Skin Types aren't entirely correct. *Sensitivity is not a skin "type", it's a skin "condition". People can experience skin sensitivity in addition to their skin being dry, oily, etc, but not everyone with oily or dry skin also experiences sensitivity.*Acne is also ... MoreI find the serum very hydrating, and not at all irritating for my sensitive skin.

It commonly occurs when skin is oily, usually when we're teenagers. Hormonal acne however isn't related to oil, it's brought on by hormonal imbalances due to PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) and/or Menopause/Peri-Menopause during which skin can be oily, dry, etc. People with oily skin may never suffer from/experience acne.*Teenage skin is simply is the skin you have when you're a teenager. Skin at this age is often oily, although not every teenager has the same skin type, hence the need for the use of the term "Skin Type". Teenage is not a skin "type" or a skin "condition", it is an age group, eg, 20s, 40s, teens.My skin is dry and very sensitive, and very dehydrated. (Dehydration is also a condition where your skin is in need of water. This can result from a damaged barrier/acid mantle, not drinking enough water, smoking, consumption of too many diuretics, eg, coffee, alcohol, exposure to too much air conditioning or taking certain medications. It's often confused with dryness, however dryness the skin type is where your skin doesn't produce enough oil.)

Wonderful hydrating set, highly recommend!

Before purchase, I was a bit hesitant about the Ananda mist in this set, but I am so glad that I decided to just go for it, since the mist turned out to be one my most favourite skincare products of all time! It smells absolutely divine and I keep spraying my face with it periodically even during the day, for an additional hydration boost. Hosanna serum is very hydrating and gentle to use even around the eyes. Baptise gel with its subtle rose scent is the most unique face gel I have ever tried! The texture initially feels thicker than expected from a gel, but it sinks in beautifully and gives my face a gorgeous, non-greasy glow. I think that this whole set will become a staple in my skincare routine! LOVE IT!
