You've never glowed like this before: the $75 golden face mask that's about to go viral
Antipodes has done it again. The cult Kiwi skincare brand is back with a shimmering, skin-loving showstopper that's set to replace every sheet mask in your bathroom drawer. The Aura Gold Mānuka Honey Radiance Mask isn't just skincare, it's a weekly golden ritual. And it really is gold. Launching nationally on June 2nd, this decadent vitamin C-powered treatment is already generating buzz from beauty editors and skincare sleuths alike. At $75 for 75ml, it's worth the price tag, as it might just be the one that finally delivers that elusive 'glow from within' look without a facialist on speed dial. So what makes this creamy mask a contender for cult status? What's inside the gold For starters, Aura Gold is powered by export-grade New Zealand mānuka honey, ethically sourced from Grafter's Honey, a sustainable bee farm literally next door to Antipodes' founder Elizabeth Barbalich. Combined with Kakadu plum (which boasts one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C in nature), this mask is a glow-up in a tube. You'll also find plant-based hyaluronic acid to plump, ceramides to support your skin barrier, and gentle lime caviar AHAs that exfoliate and boost collagen production. Skin that feels fresh, hydrated, and noticeably more radiant. Oh, and did we mention the texture? It's buttery, velvety, and golden, like applying a very fancy custard to your face. In the best way. But does it actually work? According to a four-week in-vivo trial, 98 per cent of users agreed it felt luxurious, and 87 per cent said their skin looked visibly more radiant. Those are the kind of numbers that usually come with high-end spa treatments, not an at-home mask. It's also housed in recyclable aluminium packaging with FSC-certified outer packaging, so your skin and the planet both get a little love. Why you'll be seeing this all over your feed Aura Gold fits right into the soft life trend that's dominating your TikTok 'For You' page, think less hustle, more pampering, slow beauty rituals, and skincare that feels indulgent and intelligent. It's the kind of product you pull out on a Sunday night when your skin needs a reset and your brain needs a break. It gives expensive without the spa bill. And while it may look pretty on your vanity (and it does), this mask backs up the aesthetic with science-led ingredients and visible results. Whether you're treating yourself, hunting for the perfect gift, or replacing your go-to sheet mask stash with something smarter and more sustainable, Aura Gold might just become your next skincare non-negotiable.
