Skin Velvet – Re-Texturizing Antioxidant Serum Concentrate

Customers rate us 4.9/5 based on 104 reviews.

Midlife brings its own quiet shift in the skin — a dimming of radiance, fine lines that settle in a little more visibly, a complexion that asks for something more concentrated than a daily cream can offer.

Skin Velvet is where it all began for us: Niki Newd's founding antioxidant serum for skin, a rich, full-bodied oil concentrate crafted from vitamin E, pre-retinol, Coenzyme Q10, carotenoids, and flavonoids, gathered from Nordic and Arctic botanicals and refined over months of testing until nothing but the essential remained.

Free of a single preservative, filler, or added fragrance, it helps skin feel replenished, plumped, and enveloped, and cushioned, and look luminous, smoother, and visibly renewed — by day, by night, and is gentle enough for the eye area itself. It has, in time, become something of a ritual in aftercare — reached for whenever skin has been recently treated and calls for a little more comfort, a little more care.

Freshness, we believe, is the truest form of anti-ageing. Freshly blended in small batches, packed fresh, and on its way to you.

Feel it. Hear it. Fresh.

Skin feel

Rich, lavish, and full-bodied, with a satiny, velvet-soft glide that settles into the skin as a soft, luminous veil rather than a shine. Because the formula holds no water, fillers, or additives, only a small amount is needed — one to three pumps is enough for the whole face, concentrated on the areas that feel driest. If this feels more generous than serums you're used to, give your skin a few applications to adjust; richness like this is a sign of what's actually in the bottle, not what's missing from it.

Aroma

Green and grassy at first touch, opening into the warm, toasted character of avocado oil as it mingles with the deep, earthy note of camelina. It's an aroma that divides opinion the way fresh coriander does — most find it captivating, a few find its natural honesty unfamiliar. We happen to love it. Not added, not designed. What you smell is what nourishes you.

Coenzyme Q10

A compound the body produces naturally and uses for cellular energy. Well-documented for its antioxidant role in skin and studied for its association with a smoother look and improved skin elasticity.

Alpha-Tocopherol

The form of vitamin E most readily used by the skin, well-documented for shielding skin's proteins, including collagen, from everyday oxidative stress.

Omega 3 Fatty Acid

Known for its softening, comforting effect on the look of stressed or freshly treated skin, and studied for its role in supporting skin's resilience against everyday environmental exposure.

Gamma-Tocopherol

A distinct antioxidant form of vitamin E, known for its role in supporting long-term formula and skin-surface stability.

Beta-Carotene (Pre-Retinol)

A natural precursor to vitamin A, partly converted and stored in skin as retinyl esters — a gentler route to vitamin A than direct retinol. Studied for its role in supporting collagen formation and a smoother, more even-toned appearance.

Omega 7 Fatty Acid

A rarer fatty acid known for its moisturising properties and studied for its association with a more even skin tone.

Flavonoids

Including isorhamnetin and quercetin, studied for their role in helping protect the skin's natural collagen from environmental degradation, and contributing further antioxidant depth to the formula.

Omega 6 Fatty Acid

Known for its role in supporting the skin's natural barrier and studied for its association with a softer, more comfortable feel.

Gamma-Tocotrienol

A structurally different form of vitamin E from the tocopherols found in the formula's other oils, studied for particularly strong antioxidant activity.

Omega 9 Fatty Acid

Studied for enhancing the absorption of other nutrients in the formula and known for its softening effect on the look and feel of skin.

Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA)

A distinctive form of omega-6 fatty acid concentrated in blackcurrant seed oil, well-documented for its role in supporting the skin's lipid barrier and helping skin feel more comfortable, particularly for reactive or easily unsettled skin.

Mixed Tocopherols

A blend of alpha-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol, rounding out the formula's vitamin E profile with yet another naturally occurring combination.

Phytosterols

Studied for their role in supporting collagen formation and helping protect skin from the visible effects of UV exposure over time — present across the formula's oils, notably camelina and olive-family plant oils.

Carotenoids

Including lutein and zeaxanthin — the compounds behind camelina oil's golden colour, also present in blackcurrant seed oil — known for helping protect skin's cell structures from everyday oxidative stress.

No fillers, additives, added fragrances, essential oils, preservatives or alcohol.

Morning and evening

Warm one to three pumps between your palms and press gently into cleansed skin, concentrating on drier areas. Alternatively, blend with your favourite Niki Newd® cream or balm to create an intensively nourishing cocktail. Works beautifully around the eyes too.

How much to use

Because this serum contains no fillers, water, or additives, a little goes a long way. One to three pumps is all you need — concentrated nourishment with nothing wasted.

How long it lasts

Used morning and evening with one to three pumps each time, a 10ml bottle typically lasts around 1 to 1.5 months when used on its own. Blended into your Niki Newd® cream or balm rather than worn alone, a little goes even further — closer to 2 to 3 months. Exact duration will vary depending on bottle size, your skin type, and how much you use each time.

Best before

Fresh skincare works differently from preserved formulas. To enjoy the full potency of the oils, use within 6 months of manufacture. No preservatives means no compromises on efficacy — which is why we blend fresh in small batches.

Why Your Skin Will Thank You

Benefits

Real ingredients. Real nourishment.

Skin Velvet is Niki Newd's original antioxidant serum for skin — a concentrate built entirely from cold-pressed and CO2-extracted plant oils, with no water, fillers, or synthetic stand-ins. Every drop carries the nutrient density of the whole ingredient, not an extracted fraction of it.

Softer to the touch, quieter to the eye

Vitamin E, pre-retinol, and Coenzyme Q10 work alongside a full spectrum of Omega fatty acids to help skin look more radiant and feel replenished, while helping calm the look of skin that feels stressed, tight, or freshly treated.

One concentrate, endless ways to use it

Warm between your hands and press into cleansed skin morning and evening, or blend a drop into your Niki Newd cream or balm for an intensively nourishing cocktail. Gentle enough to use around the delicate eye area, and rich enough to stand entirely on its own.

Niki Newd Skin Velvet antioxidant face and eye serum for smoother, more radiant and visibly renewed-looking skin.

FAQs

Because there's no water in the formula — what you're feeling is the concentration of whole plant oils, not added richness. The texture settles into skin as a soft, luminous veil rather than a shine, and because there's nothing diluting it, only a small amount is needed: one to three pumps for the whole face, concentrated wherever skin feels driest. If it feels more generous than the serums you're used to, give your skin a few applications to adjust — richness like this is a sign of what's actually in the bottle, not what's missing from it.

Skin Velvet is designed to make skin feel deeply replenished and to help wrinkles look softer while restoring a smoother, firmer and more radiant appearance.

The first difference is sensory. The full-bodied oil concentrate leaves skin feeling supple, plumped and enveloped, with a soft luminous finish rather than a dry or tight after-feel. Only a small amount is needed because the formula contains no water or fillers.
With regular use, Skin Velvet is intended to support a smoother, more even-looking texture and a complexion that appears better nourished and more radiant. These are cosmetic outcomes rather than a promise to remove wrinkles or reverse biological ageing. The formula's anti-age value comes from consistent topical care and a broad antioxidant and lipid profile used day after day.

Antioxidants help protect the skin from free radicals generated by UV exposure, pollution and other everyday environmental stressors. The oxidative stress they cause is one of the processes associated with premature skin ageing and a gradual loss of radiance, firmness and vitality.

Used daily, an antioxidant serum provides the skin with antioxidants that help neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

What makes Skin Velvet distinctive is the breadth of its antioxidant profile. Different natural forms of vitamin E, CoQ10, carotenoids and flavonoids work alongside one another, creating a wide spectrum of antioxidant support rather than relying on a single active.

At the same time, the formula is rich in nourishing plant lipids and omega fatty acids that help keep the skin soft, supple and well conditioned.

Look for a well-formulated combination of antioxidants and supportive lipids rather than assuming one fashionable ingredient can do everything.

Different antioxidants work in different chemical environments, and skin also depends on lipids to maintain comfort and barrier quality. For ageing skin, a useful serum can therefore combine antioxidant compounds with fatty acids and emollient lipids instead of treating antioxidant care as a single-ingredient exercise.

Skin Velvet combines Coenzyme Q10, beta-carotene, several naturally occurring forms of vitamin E, carotenoids and flavonoids with omega-3, -6, -7 and -9 fatty acids. That diversity is one of the formula's defining features. It does not mean more ingredients automatically equal better results; rather, each oil was selected to contribute a different part of the serum's overall lipid and antioxidant profile.

Green and grassy at first, opening into warm, toasted avocado mingling with the earthy note of camelina — and it comes entirely from the oils themselves, not an added fragrance. It's the kind of scent that divides opinion the way fresh coriander does: most people find it captivating, a few find its natural honesty unfamiliar at first. We think it's worth knowing this upfront rather than being surprised by it, since what you're smelling is a direct reflection of what's actually in the bottle.

CO-FOUNDER'S  note

Skin Velvet was our very first formula, and I've never wanted to change it. We set out to create a gentle, pre-retinol vitamin A formula — one many with couperose-prone skin have told us they find comforting. The result is a velvety, full-bodied oil packed with the most complete blend of antioxidants and nourishing actives we've ever bottled.

We spent months sourcing the ingredients. Even our avocado oil was chosen with extreme care from a specific temperate region known for yielding naturally higher levels of Coenzyme Q10 — because for us, sustainability is just the baseline; origin and efficacy are what matter.

Its distinct, natural scent can divide opinion, much like coriander. But to me, it smells exactly like the richness and quality of its ingredients. It's a product I feel deeply tender about, especially after hearing how many people it has helped through difficult skin moments and recovery seasons.

If you are new to Skin Velvet, simply warm a drop between your hands morning and night, and press it into cleansed skin. On days when you need extra care, blend it into a Niki Newd cream or balm for an even richer ritual. All these years later, it remains one of my absolute favourites.
