This feels so lovely on my skin, enriching but not at all oily. Perfect for dry, older skin.
Waiwai Facial Serum - Sensitive Skin
30ML, 50ML or 100ML
A lightweight botanical facial oil for sensitive, reactive or easily unsettled skin that needs calm, comfort and barrier support.
DETAILS:
Waiwai Facial Serum is a lightweight, nutrient-rich botanical facial oil created for sensitive, reactive or easily unsettled skin.
Waiwai is specially formulated for sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin, offering essential support for lasting comfort and calm. This gentle daily serum helps nourish the skin barrier, lock in moisture and restore lasting comfort without overwhelming delicate skin.
By supporting barrier repair and reducing inflammation, this lightweight serum helps to calm sensitivity at its source, delivering deep hydration and a smooth, radiant complexion.
Rich in essential fatty acids, omega oils, phytoceramides and botanical nutrients, Waiwai supports healthy skin function while leaving the complexion feeling softer, calmer and more resilient.
Use morning and night as the final nourishing step in your cleanse, mist and nourish ritual, or anytime your skin feels dry, tight, stressed, red-looking or prone to sensitivity.
Formulated without synthetic ingredients, preservatives or parabens.
Waiwai means “essential” — and for sensitive skin, that is exactly the point.
WHAT'S IT GOOD FOR:
Good for sensitive, reactive, dry, delicate or easily unsettled skin that needs gentle daily support.
Use when your skin feels dry, tight, stressed, red-looking, fragile or prone to sensitivity. Waiwai helps restore and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, reduce the appearance of redness and sensitivity, and lock in moisture for lasting comfort.
Best for skin that feels overwhelmed by harsh skincare and needs fewer aggressive steps, more nourishment and barrrier support
HOW TO USE
After cleansing and misting, apply 2–3 drops of Waiwai Facial Serum to clean, slightly damp skin.
Warm between fingertips, then gently press into the face, neck and décolletage using soft upward motions. Use morning and evening as part of your daily routine. In the morning, follow with sunscreen.
For best results, use with Tūī Oil Cleanser and Kakara Rose Essence Mist as part of a gentle cleanse, mist and nourish ritual.
Patch test before first use, especially if your skin is sensitive or reactive. Apply a small amount to a discreet area and wait 24 hours before using more broadly. Read our patch testing guide here: https://loveskin.co/blogs/loveskin-blog/the-importance-of-patch-testing

This serum is wonderful, I've used many others before and this one is one of the best. Doesn't leave your skin oily, just hydrates perfectly.

I love the way Loveskin makes my dry, elderly skin feel soft and smooth. People keep remarking on the fact that I look much younger than my age and I think the Waiwai serum contributes to that. (I never post photos of myself online)

Sensitive Skin - Waiwai Facial Serum
Store owner replied: Hi Katie! We're so glad the Waiwai Facial Serum has become a must-have in your routine—nothing better than happy, hydrated skin! 💖
It’s been a little bit of a transition (mentally) to break with how I was taught to look after my skin, and to move to an oil based approach - and I love it.
Jessica L. 5/5 Verified
A staple in my bathroom cabinet! I’ve been using Waiwai oil for many years now and I won’t change to anything else. Swear by it. Xx
Rachel F. 5/5 Verified
I have very sensitive mature skin. I just love using the waiwai oil as it’s very light & absorbs quickly. It is my favourite moisturiser after cleansing & toning, & it works well under foundation. 💗
Sheryl N. 5/5 Verified
I got the sensitive for my daughter to try. She is loving it.
Julia R. 5/5 Verified
I’ve always had problem skin. Even more so as I grew older. The Waiwai serum has been a life changing product for me for the past 4 years. It balances out my T-zone and hydrates my skin. And if gentleness had a scent, it would be this! Most days all I wear is the serum and a quality tinted moisturizer with spf. Loveskin is a consistent part of my morning and evening skincare routine.
Hana G. 5/5 Verified
Loveskin's Tui Cleanser has been a miracle solution for my troubled skin. By using it consistently my rosacea and sensitive skin has calmed down and stays hydrated. It is the best product I have ever used, and I have used many in my 53 years! Thank you Loveskin.
Trisha N. 5/5 Verified
It was when I was visiting my son in New Zealand a friend bought me some for Christmas. It is the only product I use now on my skin and everybody says how lovely my skin is. I have even bought some for a friend.
Susan D. 5/5 Verified
I had breakouts with whiteheads in my T zone area, especially the corners of my nose. The love skin product has worked well and helped rebuild the skins defense layers and my breakouts are improving. The areas of dark skin pigmentation on my face is also improving so I am extremely happy with this product. I have been using the product for nearly two months now and will continue to purchase this product as it works for me. The support service is also amazing loving the advice and feedback.
Michelle L. 5/5 Verified
I’ve shared the product details with many friends and they now purchase the products. I love everything about loveskin oils.
Anita P. 5/5 Verified
THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT. I purchased the Waiwai Facial Serum for Sensative Skin as recommended by Jo. This was suggested after Winter it might be nicer to try a lighter Serum. Thank you LOVESKIN this has been another gorgeous product. I absolutely love the Arohanui Serum for Dry/ Mature Skin but this lighter Waiwai Serum has also worked wonders . A lovely change for our Summer. I highly recommend both of these Serums. Merry Christmas Jo . Many thanks again for your fabulous products . Kind Regards, Jilly

It makes my face feel amazing!!
Tina R. 5/5 Verified
At 80+ my skin was drying out and I was looking for a skin care range that would put some elasticity back into my skin. Loveskin has been wonderful and my skin feels soft and nourished. I love the Waiwai that I purchased recently. It is so light. I brush a little powder over my nose, put on some lipstick and I'm done. I love the mature skin range and would recommend it to anyone with dry skin.
Leonie T. 5/5 Verified
This is my first time using a serum regularly and i am really loving it! I have sensitive skin and it can sometime be oily which is why i have never used serum as i assumed it would make it worse. This is not the case. My skin has never looked or felt better!
Jessica V. 5/5 Verified
I have been using the Waiwai serum for a little under a month and I have definitely noticed a positive difference with the darker patches of skin. I was nervous as I have very sensitive skin - other than aqueous cream or similar it is pretty much a no go. So I have gone down the natural route. This is working for me thus far and I am keen to try more of the sensitive range products down the line :)
Amber R. 5/5
Beautiful product thank you
Nikki K. 5/5 Verified
Waiwai facial serum is so lovely.....I got it because it's an anti perfume, anti irritation serum as I tend to get sensitive skin at times.

I have had bad skin at 55 from steroids for brain tumour this ia great the only thing that has worked
Tania M. 5/5 Verified
I bought this for my 16 year old son to try, he has redness, dryness and acne problem. After using for a week the transformation of his face the redness and dryness has reduced and the skin started the healing process of the acne scars. Thanks Jo for your advice of what products is good for my son.
Christy M. 5/5 Verified
This skin care has solved multiple skin problems! I use the WaiWai serum instead of the Tui Cleanser for cleansing, as my skin is very sensitive. It's reduced the shine on my forehead, nose and chin, and reduced the size of my pores. I've also noticed a visible difference in the overall texture; almost dewy. Incredibly happy and will continue using!
Sara T. 5/5 Verified
I just love the Loveskin Waimauku serum and cleanser. I was getting excema on my face, neck and around my eyes and was just finding my skin so dry. I had tried a range of moisturisers, including some really expensive brands, but Loveskin is the best. I am now onto my third bottle of the serum and have bought some for my mum. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Great for sensitive skin, and the smell and overall feel of the products are lovely.
Jessica P. 5/5
I love this product. I’ve been searching for something for my sensitive skin for a while now and this has been my saviour. I kept breaking out because my skin was constantly irritated. With this product it’s so soothing and the breakouts have stopped. It’s even helped my acne scars by replenishing and restoring the skin barrier.
