Skincare NZ | Serums, Moisturisers & SPF | Zilion NZ
Shop Skincare Online in NZ
Good skin rarely comes from one miracle product. It comes from a simple routine done well: a cleanser that suits your skin, a targeted serum, a moisturiser and, every morning, sunscreen. Our skincare collection brings together more than 420 products to build that routine, from vitamin A and vitamin C serums to gentle cleansers, acid toners, eye creams, masks, SPF and body care.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of every brand in the collection, including Medik8, Aspect, Skintruth, Minimalist, Brillare, Nude Kiwi, Arbre, HIDEHERE, Skinnies, Apraise, Natural Look and Baxter of California. You will find everyday sizes alongside professional salon sizes and sets.
About Our Skincare Collection
The collection covers both cosmeceutical and everyday skincare. Medik8 and Aspect are known for active ingredients such as retinal and lactic acid, while Minimalist and Brillare focus on clearly labelled actives like niacinamide, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and AHA/BHA blends. Skintruth offers cleansers, toners, serums and moisturisers alongside professional massage creams and gels, and Nude Kiwi is formulated and made in New Zealand.
Skincare works best when it is matched to your skin type and used consistently. Start with the basics, add one active at a time, and give each new product a few weeks before you judge it. If you have a skin condition or are pregnant, check with your GP or pharmacist before using strong actives such as retinoids.

Benefits of a Consistent Skincare Routine
- Cleaner, calmer skin. A cleanser matched to your skin removes oil and sunscreen without leaving it tight.
- Better hydration. Moisturisers and hyaluronic acid help skin hold water, so it looks plumper and feels more comfortable.
- Smoother texture. Gentle acids and retinal encourage a smoother, more even-looking surface over time.
- Brighter tone. Vitamin C and niacinamide help skin look more radiant and even.
- Protection every day. Daily SPF is one of the most effective ways to protect skin from sun damage, which matters under New Zealand's strong UV.
- Fewer surprises. A stable routine makes it easier to see what works and what irritates your skin.
Skincare Buying Guide
Know your skin type. Oily skin shines by midday and suits gel cleansers and light moisturisers. Dry skin feels tight and suits cream cleansers and richer moisturisers. Combination skin is oily in the T-zone and normal or dry elsewhere. Sensitive skin reacts easily and does best with short ingredient lists and gentle formulas.
Build the basics first. Cleanser, moisturiser and SPF come before anything else. Once those are working, add a serum for your main concern.
Choose one active at a time. Vitamin C in the morning, retinal at night and acids a few times a week is a common pattern. Introduce each slowly so you can see how your skin responds.
Start low with retinoids. Medik8 Crystal Retinal comes in increasing strengths from 1 upwards, so you can begin gently and step up. Always pair retinoids and acids with daily sunscreen.
Patch test new products. Apply a small amount to your jawline or inner arm for a day or two before using a new product on your whole face.
Think about gifts and value. Skincare Gift Sets are an easy way to try a routine, and larger professional sizes give better value for regular users.

Skincare FAQs
What is a basic skincare routine?
Cleanse, apply a serum if you use one, moisturise, and finish with sunscreen in the morning. At night, cleanse, use your treatment serum and moisturise.
What order should I apply skincare in?
Generally from thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, moisturiser, then sunscreen in the morning.
How do I know my skin type?
Oily skin looks shiny by midday, dry skin feels tight, combination skin is oily in the T-zone only, and sensitive skin reacts easily to new products.
What is the best cleanser for oily skin?
A gel or foaming cleanser such as Skintruth Sebum Control Gel Cleanser or Aspect Purastat 5 Cleanser suits oily skin.
What is the best cleanser for dry skin?
A milky or cream cleanser, such as Nude Kiwi Cleansing Milk, cleans without stripping.
Do I need a toner?
Not always, but toners can help. A BHA toner such as Skintruth Clarify suits oily skin, while a cream toner such as Skintruth Calm Cream Toner suits drier skin.
What does a serum do?
Serums deliver concentrated active ingredients for a specific concern, such as dullness, uneven tone, dehydration or fine lines.
What is retinal?
Retinal, or retinaldehyde, is a form of vitamin A. Medik8 Crystal Retinal serums use encapsulated retinaldehyde in increasing strengths.
Which Medik8 Crystal Retinal should I start with?
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 or 3 suits beginners. The higher numbers are stronger and are for skin already used to retinoids.
Can I use retinal every night?
Start two or three nights a week and build up as your skin adjusts. Always use sunscreen during the day.
What does vitamin C serum do?
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps skin look brighter and more even. Arbre Vitamin C Serum and Skintruth Vitamin C Youth-Shield Serum are examples.
Should I use vitamin C in the morning or at night?
Most people use vitamin C in the morning, under sunscreen, for its antioxidant benefits.
What does niacinamide do?
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, helps refine the look of pores, balance oil and even skin tone. Brillare 10% Niacinamide Face Serum is a popular choice.
What does hyaluronic acid do?
Hyaluronic acid helps skin hold moisture, so it looks plumper and feels more hydrated. It suits all skin types.
What are AHAs and BHAs?
AHAs such as glycolic and lactic acid exfoliate the skin's surface, and BHAs such as salicylic acid work inside pores. Minimalist AHA BHA 10% Face Exfoliator combines both.
How often should I exfoliate?
One to three times a week suits most skin. Over-exfoliating can cause redness and sensitivity.
Can I use retinal and acids together?
It is best to use them on different nights to avoid irritation, and to introduce each one slowly.
What moisturiser suits oily skin?
A lightweight, oil-free or gel moisturiser such as Baxter of California Oil Free Moisturiser, Skintruth Shine Control Moisturiser or Minimalist Ceramides.
What moisturiser suits dry or mature skin?
Richer creams such as Aspect Super Moisturising Complex or Skintruth HydroLock Moisturiser suit dry and mature skin.
Do I need sunscreen every day?
Yes. Daily SPF helps protect skin from UV damage, and New Zealand's UV levels are high, even on cloudy days.
Which sunscreen should I choose?
Choose a broad-spectrum SPF30 or SPF50+ you will happily wear every day. Skinnies Conquer SPF50+ and Brillare Age Revival SPF50 are good options.
How much sunscreen should I use?
Use enough to cover your face, neck and ears evenly, and reapply every two hours outdoors or after swimming.
Do I need an eye cream?
It is optional, but the eye area is delicate and many people like a dedicated product. Skintruth Niacinamide Bright Eye Cream is one of our best sellers.
What is a sleeping mask?
A sleeping mask is a leave-on overnight treatment that adds hydration while you sleep. HIDEHERE makes a Collagen Sleeping Mask.
What is Skintruth HydraCollagen Microcurrent Gel?
It is a conductive gel designed for microcurrent treatments that also delivers hydration. It is our best-selling skincare product.
What are Skintruth massage creams for?
Skintruth DermaFlow Facial Massage Cream and Rich Body Massage Cream are professional-size creams for facial and body massage.
What is Aspect Purastat 5 Cleanser?
It is a gentle foaming cleanser with lactic acid that cleanses and lightly exfoliates, removing makeup, oil and pollutants.
Is Nude Kiwi made in New Zealand?
Yes. Nude Kiwi products are formulated and made in New Zealand, according to the brand's product information.
What is Minimalist skincare?
Minimalist offers clearly labelled actives, such as AHA BHA exfoliants, alpha arbutin and ceramide moisturisers, with the percentage on the label.
What is Brillare skincare?
Brillare offers serums, face washes, moisturisers and sunscreens, including 10% Niacinamide, 10% Vitamin C and 2% Hyaluronic Acid serums.
What skincare suits sensitive skin?
Choose gentle, fragrance-light formulas and avoid strong acids or high-strength retinoids at first. Patch test new products before full use.
What skincare suits acne-prone skin?
A gentle cleanser, a BHA or niacinamide product and an oil-free moisturiser are a good start. See a GP or dermatologist for persistent acne.
Is there skincare for men?
Yes. Baxter of California makes face washes, moisturisers, toners and eye complexes for men, and most skincare works for any skin.
Can I use skincare while pregnant?
Some ingredients, such as retinoids, are not recommended during pregnancy. Check with your GP or midwife before using strong actives.
How long until I see results?
Give a new product four to eight weeks. Skin renews gradually, so consistency matters more than quick fixes.
Should I patch test?
Yes. Apply a small amount to your jawline or inner arm for a day or two before using a new product on your face.
How should I store skincare?
Keep products closed, away from heat and direct sunlight. Vitamin C serums in particular keep better in a cool, dark place.
Do you sell skincare gift sets?
Yes. See Skincare Gift Sets for ready-made routines and gifts.
