Antipodes Divine Face Oil — Clinically Supported Collagen-Boosting Face Oil with Avocado & Rosehip
Fine lines, uneven tone, and the lingering marks of sun damage demand a formula with genuine bioactive potency — not superficial shine. Antipodes Divine Face Oil delivers a silky, fast-absorbing veil of cold-pressed avocado and rosehip oils that sinks effortlessly into skin, leaving a luminous, non-greasy finish. The result is visibly plumper, more even skin over time, with the quiet confidence that comes from a formula independently verified to stimulate Type I collagen synthesis by up to 51%.

Avocado oil's unique sterol and fatty acid profile has been independently shown in vitro to upregulate Type I collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblast cells by up to 51%, directly addressing structural loss that manifests as fine lines and sagging. Rosehip oil contributes trans-retinoic acid precursors (provitamin A) that support cellular turnover and pigmentation normalisation, while its naturally occurring Vitamin C analogs help inhibit melanin synthesis, fading age spots and post-inflammatory marks. The synergistic blend of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids reinforces the skin's lipid barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving resilience. Applied before moisturiser, the oil acts as a bioactive primer, enhancing nutrient delivery and locking subsequent hydration into the skin.
- Those seeking a clinically supported, natural alternative to synthetic retinol for anti-ageing and collagen support
- Skin with visible scarring, sun damage, or uneven tone requiring daily antioxidant and pigmentation correction
- Dry or mature skin types that benefit from a nourishing face oil worn alone or layered under moisturiser
