Cutisé: a brand whose name may sound cute but with products that are seriously good at boosting your skin’s appeal

By creammagazine, January 4, 2026

I grew up with a father who was a fruit vendor for most of my childhood and teen years. We had fresh vegetables for dinner and fruit for dessert every night. As an adult, I have sadly eaten less and less all that natural goodness, and I’m rather embarrassed about that. Instead, I’m big on the supplements, catching up on my vitamin intake with every capsule I pop into my mouth.

Vitamin C is the big one, but did you know that outside of diet, it’s virtually a prerequisite in your beauty regime? Australian cosmeceutical skincare brand Cutisé are certainly aware of the fact, hence they pack most of their beauty product with plenty of the necessary vitamin.

Cutisé realise that Vitamin C ought to be celebrated as skincare’s antioxidant gold standard – a frontline defence against ageing, pigmentation, and environmental damage, come rain or shine. But what if there was something even better?

Enter ‘astaxanthin’ – a next-generation antioxidant sourced from microalgae that works across all layers of the skin to defend against oxidative stress, and to preserve collagen and reduce the visible signs of ageing.

An Australian owned brand, Cutisé is among the first to harness astaxanthin’s full clinical potential, commencing with four key products. First up is their Omnigel Cleanser. Containing calendula oil, finely ground oatmeal, and papaya seed oil, there is goodness here from the get-go. Just a small drop works on dry skin, transforming into an oil and then foaming up when a little water is added. It’s science but in the comfort of your bathroom.

Once the foam is rinsed away with warm oil, it’s recommended to apply Cutisé’s Brightcare Day Serum, a lightweight serum that helps refine tone, enhance hydration and increase radiance. It really is like a toner, moisturiser and protector in one, and is so light you forget you have it on. The key ingredients here are niacinamide and panthenol which work together to smoothen and brighten the skin. Add to this delicious locally sourced Kakadu plum (also rich in Vitamin C) and you’re positively glowing.

I always like to take care of the under-eye area, and the third product in this must-have suite is Cutisé’s Complift Eye Gel which is easily smoothed on via its convex-tipped tube. I’m hooked on this pocket-sized product and bring it out a few times a day for an instant ‘eye lift’. Again, Vitamin C is featured as a key ingredient, along with brightness-inducing caffeine. Of course there is astaxanthin in the eye gel, too, which helps defend against oxidative stress and pollution.

At night, I like to end with the Assence Night Cream, designed to nourish, firm, and visibly smooth the skin while you sleep. Powered by hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) – a gentle and effective form of vitamin A – this magical product helps supports cell renewal and collagen production without irritation.

In sum, I’ve found all four Cutisé products easy to use and very effective in keeping skin looking light and feeling fresh. Five out of five, then.

Dental Boutique offer the perfect one-appointment treatment for whiter, brighter teeth

They say when you find a good dentist, stick to him or her, and don’t go shopping elsewhere. But I figure it’s always good to have a fresh professional take a look at your teeth. And so I made myself an appointment at Dental Boutique in Murray Street, Perth.

Reading up on their backstory, I knew I could trust them straight away. They have clinics in most capital cities and some outer-city towns, from Melbourne to Mornington Gold Coast to Auckland. I read that, nationwide, the dentists here have placed over 120,000 veneers, and completed 20,000 implants. So a simple check-up, clean, and teeth whitening procedure would be a walk in the park.

The clinic itself is pretty pristine – white, white, white – just like the shade I wanted my teeth to be closer to. And I was in great professional hands.

My dentist first took photographs of my teeth for a ‘before’ shot, and then after the procedure for comparison. Up front, I’ll say that I was rather impressed. My teeth did look whiter, and so long as kept away from the red wine and kept coffees to a minimum for the next few days after the procedure, my teeth stayed that nicer, lighter shade.

Dental Boutique in Perth offers an in-chair whitening treatment that feels like your more at home. Relaxed, these lovely people make you right from the get-go. They even ask what streaming channel you’d care to watch while having your procedure done. I picked Netflix – a classic episode of Schitt’s Creek. The only problem with that was that the show made me laugh in some scenes and I hoped that didn’t interrupt the dentist’s good work.

In-chair treatments utilise stronger bleaching gels than at-home kits, because the process is done in one sitting, literally. This allows for more dramatic results in a shorter period.

First up, the dentist will clean your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar build-up, ensuring the whitening gel can effectively penetrate the enamel. Then some protecting of the gums, lips and cheeks is need, guarding these with a rubber appliance and gauze to prevent irritation from the whitening gel.

The high-strength whitening gel is then applied to your teeth, followed by activation with a special laser / light that helps boost the whitening. Whitening gel often contains hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, so just be sure you’re aware of this if those big words aren’t something you like the sound of. I’m all for them.

This laser / light may be blue or LED, and the dentist will adjust the settings to ensure your comfort. Since I’ve recently had LED treatment on my face, I’m well used to this kind of light and am happy to have it on any part of my face any time (I’ve even invested in an LED face mask for at-home benefits, but I digress).

The whitening process only takes about an hour and I was pleasantly surprised that my teeth looked several shades brighter than when I came in. To maintain this, it’s recommended you use a quality whitening toothpaste such as HiSmile when brushing your teeth at home. Easy.

I can strongly recommend having a whitening treatment done at Dental Boutique, especially if you are a coffee drinker, red wine lover, smoker, or just someone who has been a bit lazy on the dental care front.

I feel more confidient, and content to smile more. Nice work!
