Choosing the right moisturiser starts with understanding what your skin is asking for.


If your skin is dehydrated, it needs water - ingredients that help attract and hold moisture for a fresh, plump feel. If your skin is dry, it needs lipids - nourishing oils, butters and ceramides that help soften, comfort and support the skin barrier.


Some skin needs one more than the other, while many complexions need both. Here’s how to find your perfect Antipodes moisturiser, from weightless water-based hydration to rich overnight nourishment.

Baptise Hyaluronic H₂o Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel


Best for: Dehydrated, oily or combination skin


Our lightest moisturiser, Baptise Hyaluronic H₂O Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel delivers a refreshing burst of water-based hydration in a cooling gel texture. Plant hyaluronic acid helps attract moisture to the skin, while New Zealand mamaku black fern supports a fresh, dewy-looking complexion.


Choose Baptise if your skin feels thirsty or tight but doesn't need richness.

Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream


Best for: Lightweight overnight hydration


Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream is our lightest night cream, ideal for skin that wants overnight care without a heavy feel.


The silky water-cream texture combines Kalibiome AGE Probiotic with plant hyaluronic acid to help smooth, hydrate and refresh the look of skin by morning. It's a beautiful choice for those who find traditional night creams too rich.

Jasmine Flower Menopause Facial Cream


Best for: Hydrating comfort during perimenopause


During menopause, skin can experience changes in moisture levels, texture and comfort. Jasmine Flower Menopause Facial Cream is designed to help address these concerns with a cushiony, comforting cream texture.


Featuring jasmine flower peptides and soothing organic oat extract, it helps leave skin feeling soft, supple and replenished. Choose Jasmine Flower if your skin needs more comfort than a water cream but still prefers a lighter feel than a rich night cream.

Lime Caviar Collagen-rich Firming Cream


Best for: Lightweight nourishment and firming support


Lime Caviar Collagen-Rich Firming Cream offers a silky cream texture that bridges hydration and nourishment.


Australian lime caviar, rich in naturally occurring AHAs, helps promote a smoother, brighter-looking complexion, while nourishing botanicals leave skin feeling supple and replenished. It's an ideal choice for those seeking everyday moisturisation alongside visible firming and radiance benefits.

Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream


Best for: Daily nourishment


A long-time Antipodes favourite, Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream provides comforting daily nourishment for normal to dry skin.


Mānuka honey and rosehip oil help maintain moisture, while antioxidant-rich Vinanza Grape help support healthy-looking skin. The creamy texture leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and cared for throughout the day.


Choose Vanilla Pod if your skin prefers a more nourishing moisturiser that still feels beautifully wearable during the day.

Avocado Pear Collagen-Boosting Night Cream


Best for: Rich overnight nourishment


Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream is our richest traditional moisturiser, designed to cocoon skin in nourishment while you sleep.


Nutrient-rich avocado oil and manuka honey provide lasting comfort for dry, mature or moisture-depleted skin. It's the perfect choice when your skin needs a richer, replenishing overnight ritual.

Supernatural SPF50+ Ceramide Silk Facial Sunscreen


Best for: Sealing in moisture and protecting skin


While not a traditional moisturiser, Supernatural SPF50+ Ceramide Silk Facial Sunscreen is an essential final step in your daytime skincare routine.


Apply it over a lighter moisturiser such as Baptise H₂O Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel to first infuse skin with water-based hydration, then help seal that moisture into the skin with nourishing lipids and barrier-supporting ceramides. At the same time, broad-spectrum SPF50+ protection helps defend against the visible effects of daily UV exposure.


The silky cream texture leaves skin feeling comfortable, cushioned and protected throughout the day.
