Hydration Heroes
Introduction: Hydrated Skin = Happy Skin
When it comes to glowing skin, hydration isn’t optional -it’s essential. Australia’s climate can be unforgiving, from dry heat to harsh air-conditioning, leaving your complexion thirsty for relief. That’s why every Napoleon Perdis skincare product is designed to quench, protect and perfect your skin - creating the ultimate canvas for makeup that looks fresh all day.
Why Hydration Matters
Your skin barrier is your body’s natural shield. When it’s well-hydrated, it defends against dryness, dullness and irritation. But when it’s depleted, skin can lose elasticity and glow. Hydration helps to restore balance - boosting radiance, smoothing texture and ensuring your foundation glides on effortlessly.
At Napoleon Perdis, we blend Australian botanicals, antioxidants and advanced hydrators to keep your skin dewy, plump and confident, no matter the season.
Meet the Hydration Heroes
🥛 Hydrating Milk Cleanser & Lift Off Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm
Glowing skin starts with a clean canvas - but never a stripped one. The Hydrating Milk Cleanser melts away makeup and impurities while nourishing the skin with a comforting veil of hydration. Its milky texture soothes and softens, leaving your complexion refreshed, not tight. For a deeper, spa-like cleanse, the Lift Off Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm transforms from a rich balm to a silky oil, effortlessly dissolving long-wear makeup and sunscreen while preserving your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Together, they form the perfect double-cleanse ritual - gentle, effective, and deeply hydrating — setting the stage for skincare and makeup that glow from the first touch.
Best for: Dry, sensitive or dehydrated skin types looking for a simple, soothing solution.

Your Skincare Questions, Answered.
From ingredient breakdowns to makeup myths and skincare secrets, we’re here to give it to you straight — the Napoleon Perdis way. Whether you're a beauty beginner or a glam guru, let’s get you glowing.
Is Napoleon Perdis skincare cruelty-free and vegan?
All Napoleon Perdis skincare is cruelty-free. We do not test any of our makeup or skincare products on animals, and we are committed to ethical beauty practices. Many of our skincare products are also vegan because glamour should never come at the cost of kindness.
Why is skincare important?
Because great skin is always in. Skincare isn’t just self-care, it’s your skin’s foundation for glow, resilience and long-term radiance. Think of it as prepping your canvas: the smoother, healthier and more hydrated your skin, the better your makeup performs.
How do I Layer Skincare Products?
It’s all about layering like a pro: cleanse, tone (if you like), serum, eye cream, moisturiser, SPF. Lightweight to rich, so every product performs at its best.
How do I know my skin type?
Get close and personal with your skin. Oily? You’ll see shine, especially by midday. Dry? Expect tightness or flaking. Combination? A bit of both. Sensitive? Redness or reactivity. Trust your skin, it’s always giving you clues.
What’s the best skincare routine for my skin type?
There’s no one-size-fits-all, and that’s the beauty of it. Your skin deserves a personalised ritual. Whether you're dry, oily, or somewhere in between, we’ve crafted formulas to balance, nourish, and elevate. Cleanse, treat, hydrate, protect. Repeat.
Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day?
Absolutely. Think of SPF as your skin’s ultimate bodyguard, rain, shine, or cloud. Our daily formulas are weightless, protective, and designed to layer under makeup without fuss.
