Natio

The creme to foundation is excellent , however the container is rubbish. It has the mirror in the wrong place and the hinge is pathetic and always break well before the product is near full use making it very messy to use.

Great texture and absorbency – Only been using this for about 2 weeks but I like the texture and absorbency of the cream. I have never noticed a fish smell whatsoever like I’ve read in the reviews but it does have like a clay fragrance. So far so good.

Terrible design – It's quite good value and works OK but every time I try to undo the top to fill it, water spills everywhere. Terrible design. So bad that I simply won't use it.

Such a great gradual tanner! – I actually love this tan/moisturiser! There is no hideous fake tan smell, only cinnamon and citrus, which surprisingly I love! It dries fast! like… Read more

that fast I can go straight to bed without feeling sticky! The colour is gradual and never very dark, but it’s a great natural colour. Also great inbetween weekly tans! As a moisturiser it’s beautiful! My skin drinks it in and feels soft when I’m using this!

up. I chose Natio after trying the tester for the smoothing face oil and loving it, however I didn’t get that product as it was sold out.

I am exceedly happy about the effects these products have had on my skin however, I have one major complaint that I’ll discuss below.

The products I’ve been using are listed here. I’m not reviewing them independently because I only use them in conjunction with each other. The combined effect is notably positive on my skin.

Renew roll-on eye serum

Ageless avanced firming serum

Renew line and wrinkle day cream & night cream (separate products)

Ageless rosehip oil cold-pressed

The eye serum roll on is easy to apply but takes a while to soak in compared to the face serum which definitely feels like it’s firming my face. The day and night creams are lovely. The day cream works well under make up.

My first time using facial oil. Compared to the smoothing oil that I tested, the rosehip seems lighter and I apply it mornings (just one squirt) as well as more liberally at night. It makes my skin glow. If I was skipping my night routine I think I would still apply a couple of drops of this. It needs a few minutes to soak in but I still feel it in my skin when I wake up.

Even though I only have one complaint about this range, I feel it’s quite major. I have a sensory processing disorder so I can be quite sensitive to products. The essential oils and fragrances in these products burn my eyes and leave me tears. I’m getting better at applying them. The eye serum is free of these so I apply it first. The facial serum is the biggest culprit and I have to apply it very carefully to keep it far away from my eyes and then not touch my eyes. Because I wear glasses, the “fumes” get concentrated and trapped behind my lenses. I will try the Renew serum next time to see if it better for me.

However, I love the effect of the serum, enough to persevere anyway. I used to use a tinted moisturiser and that was my whole routine. I didn’t see the value in applying three separate products to the same skin. I really feel the serum tightens my skin before I apply the moisturiser. I also feel the oil at the end seals in the moisture and adds a glow.

Price wise, I feel Natio is good value. I paid full price at a pharmacy. I got the Ageless serum because it was $7 less than the Renew serum but I couldn’t tell what the difference was. Now because the “fumes” irritate me I wish I’d paid the extra but i still don’t know what I’d be getting for it.

The reason I got a mix of Ageless and Renew was mostly due to availability. I got the eye cream for the roll on applicator but it takes ages to soak in, maybe a finger squirt would have been better. I like the softness of the skin around my eyes as it’s very delicate but I notice no difference to shadows.

Overall, I will never go back to occasionally applying moisturiser. I’m sold on having the full routine and I am very satisfied with this brand Natio and love the products.

Perfect high protection sunscreen – This is a really good sunscreen and my favourite everyday sun protection. It comes in a plastic tube with a flip top lid that you can’t misplace. The… Read more

lotion itself is almost scentless, fluid but not watery and applies easily with your fingers in broad strokes.

Although labelled as a moisturiser to be used over clean skin, I use this as a sunscreen and the last step over my face mist, facial oil, and moisturiser. I like that it does not feel greasy, and just sinks in and disappears. I use this all over my face, and - depending on what I’m wearing - on the exposed bits like back of neck, shoulders and chest. And as far as I can tell, this doesn’t stain my clothes like some other sunscreens.

At an rrp of $19.95 for 100 ml, it is very good value and a regular repeat purchase for me.

Really good all round moisturiser – really good moisturiser as it soaks in fast and doesn't leave skin looking or feeling greasy, smells good and protects against sun. Would prefer the SPF 50 for higher sun protection.

One of my staples – This is a lightly scented basic toner that I use everyday. The bottles are a decent 250 ml which I decant into a smaller spray bottle to use as a… Read more

face mist. It is also available in a smaller 200 ml spray bottle. As it is a basic toner, I often use it as a carrier for water soluble serums like hyaluronic acid to add more “actives”.

I also like that it is Australian made, uses natural plant-based ingredients, is priced reasonably at about $15 and can often be found on special at 20-25% off.

Great hand cream with sun protection – I love this. It's non-greasy, has a subtle but nice scent, and most importantly has SPF, which is not very common with hand creams. I find that I… Read more

reach for this at work once a day, and it keeps my hands moisturised the whole day. Very reasonably priced too. Recommended.

I loooove this face moisturiser. I have really sensitive skin & I’m 60+ years young. This moisturiser is easy to apply, soaks in to your skin & leaves my face feeling silky & soft.
