Road Test 

It’s not just the eye area which shows the first signs of ageing; your eyes also reflect how good your diet is, if you’ve been partying too hard, or if you’ve been missing sleep, perhaps due to travelling. That, in addition to having somewhat of an obsession with eye creams, has lead me on a long road to finding an ideal product to tackle both tired eyes, and the signs of ageing including crows feet, dark circles and hollowness. During lockdown I revisited the Antipodes skin care brand, which hails from New Zealand. Founded by Elizabeth Barbalich, who has a background in science, Antipodes is a premium skincare brand focussed on native New Zealand ingredients along with being vegan and certified organic. It’s a brand which has been around for some 15 years, winning multiple awards and earning a cult following around the world, among them supermodels including Elle Macpherson and Cara Delevingne. Although I’ve tried some of its products before, its Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream was new to me. A luxuriously light eye cream, it’s designed to soothe puffy and tired eyes, while also cooling, calming and boosting hydration levels. The results promised? A firmer, smoother, and revitalised eye area. This formula of this delicious eye cream contains ultra-rich concentrations of Vitamin C from New Zealand kiwi fruit seed to brighten and hydrate, along with carrot seed oil and aloe gel, to soothe inflammation and redness, and deeply hydrating, collagen boosting avocado oil. This is an eye cream you can use day and night; simply apply a small amount of the cream to cleansed skin, patting it gently into the area around the eyes using your fingertips. Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream delivers an instant moisture surge, which makes your eye area look smoother and brighter, and over time with use it definitely eases the telltale signs of ageing. And what’s not to love about that?
