Between the endless TikTok hacks, beauty shelfies and 12-step routines that make getting ready feel like a part-time job, it’s no wonder more of us are looking for skincare that actually works and doesn’t require a chemistry degree or a second mortgage.

That’s where Indagare’s Illumino Youth Serum comes in, a hard-working face oil that’s quietly become a cult favourite among Aussie beauty lovers. And right now, it’s slashed by 28 per cent as part of a limited-time offer, meaning you can try it for yourself for just $49.

What makes this little bottle so special? It doesn’t just do one thing. It replaces your Vitamin C serum, hyaluronic acid, moisturiser, anti-ageing eye cream, and glow oil and somehow still smells like a luxury spa.

At the heart of the serum is Prickly Pear Seed Oil, often dubbed ‘liquid gold’ in skincare circles.

This desert-dwelling oil holds moisture like no one’s business, contains 150 per cent more Vitamin E than Argan Oil, and is packed with fatty acids, antioxidants and brightening compounds that make dull skin look awake and radiant.

It also has a comedogenic rating of zero, which means it won’t clog pores, even if your skin leans oily or sensitive.

Joining the ingredient lineup is Neroli Essential Oil, a gentle but powerful Vitamin C-rich extract that helps with collagen production, skin tone and cell renewal. Unlike synthetic Vitamin C serums that can sting or irritate, this version is soothing, antibacterial and naturally fragrant.

Together, the two ingredients create a lightweight, non-greasy serum that soaks in fast and leaves your face feeling fresh, plump and hydrated. Many shoppers say they noticed a visible difference in just a week.

One shopper said, “This amazing serum is fantastic for mature skin. It smoothes wrinkles and leaves my skin looking plump, glowing, and so soft. I’m on my third bottle!”

Four reasons to add it to your cart:

• It replaces five different products: No more layering. This serum simplifies everything.
• It’s 100 per cent natural: No synthetic nasties, no fake fragrances, no toxic fillers.
• It suits all skin types: From sensitive to oily, dry to mature, it works across the board.
• It’s Aussie-made and female-founded: Indagare is a local brand that prioritises ethics, effectiveness and simplicity.

Here’s who it’s for:

• Mature skin looking for glow and firming.
• Dry or dehydrated skin needs a hydration hit.
• Sensitive skin avoiding irritating ingredients.
• Combo or oily skin craving nourishment without congestion.
• Anyone who wants their skincare routine to take less than 60 seconds.

You’ll find the Illumino Youth Serum in the Mini Day & Night Face Oil Pack, currently down to $49.

It’s the perfect size to test it out, pack in your carry-on, or gift to someone who’s always complaining their skin looks ‘meh.’

Because when your skincare routine is this simple and this effective you’ve got more time to do literally anything else.
