Antipodes - Purity Glass Skin Facial Polish - 75ml

The Purity Glass Skin Facial Polish by Antipodes draws on one of the best-known skincare ideals of Korean beauty culture. Glass Skin describes skin that is especially smooth, even and plump with moisture, reflecting light almost like glass. The focus is not superficial shine, but rather a smooth, well-cared-for skin surface, intensive hydration and a healthy skin barrier.

• Product type: creamy exfoliating cleanser and facial polish
• Skin types: all skin types; ideal for dull, rough, uneven or dehydrated skin
• Glass-skin effect: smooths and refines the skin's surface - for a fresh, plump and naturally radiant complexion
• Double exfoliation: jojoba and rosehip particles polish directly, while Lime Caviar AHA supports gentle refinement of the skin's texture
• Moisture: glycerin, hyaluronic acid and Mānuka honey help bind moisture and prevent a dry feeling on the skin
• Cleansing: mild surfactants and kaolin remove excess sebum, dead skin cells and daily buildup
• Key actives: Lime Caviar AHA, jojoba esters, rosehip, hyaluronic acid, Mānuka honey, Kōwhai and evening primrose oil
• Quality: cruelty-free, made in New Zealand; vegetarian and not vegan due to the Mānuka honey it contains

The creamy cleanser combines two forms of exfoliation. Biodegradable jojoba esters and finely ground rosehip seeds polish away loose, dull skin cells as you cleanse. At the same time, Australian Lime Caviar provides naturally occurring AHAs that gently refine the skin's surface further. Rough areas appear smoother, the complexion more even and light can reflect more beautifully from a more uniform surface.

But the second half of the formula is crucial to the Glass Skin concept: glycerin, plant-based hyaluronic acid and New Zealand Mānuka honey support moisture retention, while rosehip, evening primrose and jojoba oils keep the skin supple. Purity therefore leaves no dry or tight feeling, but soft, fresh and supple skin, ideally prepared for subsequent moisturising care.

Mild cleansing surfactants create a creamy lather with water; kaolin absorbs excess sebum and buildup. This creates a product between cleanser and facial polish – for all skin types and especially interesting for dull-looking, rough or uneven skin texture and dehydration.
