Dr Naomi Skin offers science-backed skincare that's effective

News.com.au26-05-2025
Have you ever tried a TikTok-viral beauty product and been incredibly disappointed with the results? It happens.
Yes, products aren't designed to work for everyone.
But also sometimes, viral beauty brands just aren't stacked up to what you expect them to be.
Dr Naomi Skin is different though.
Offering skincare solutions that are both fun and effective, the brand is founded by none other than cosmetic doctor Dr Naomi. The best selling products are known for its viral appeal, while also providing science-backed results.
And one product in particular has seen massive success thanks to social media.
Dr Naomi's sold over 25,000 units of Catfish – a blurring eye cream that's gone viral for its
Five-star rating shoppers and Aussie influencers like Martha Kalifatidis have named this a 'miracle' and 'magic' eye cream for its ability to make such a 'big difference' to getting rid of the appearance of fine lines under the eyes.

SKINCARE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BORING
'Skincare should be effective, but it doesn't have to be boring,' says Dr. Naomi.
'I wanted to create a line that combines the fun of beauty with the science of dermatology. The response from TikTok and our customers has been incredible – it's proof that when you pair great formulations with a little bit of humour, people take notice.'
But of course, having your products go TikTok viral is not all that's important to the successful founder.
Sure it's great for product sales she admits, but at the same time, Dr Naomi's goal is 'not to be a fad or the flavour of the month.
'We want to work with our customers over the long term and really look after their skin and protect it. I want our brand to stand the test of time, be super-dependable and to keep our customers happy and confident with their skin health through their life stages.'
WHAT DR NAOMI LOVES TO DO EVERYDAY
Dr Naomi has been deep in the beauty world for some time now.
'My interest in brightening topicals started at my first cosmetic job over 20 years ago … I saw how much pigmentation and skin issues impacted people's peace.'
And that's only translated into her finding new ways everyday to develop her successful skincare and beauty brand.
Since its launch in 2021, Dr Naomi Skin has offered a variety of moisturisers, cleansers, serums, and even LED face masks, with a focus on brightening the skin.
Having a genuine passion for beauty is one of those things that can really guarantee success.
She continues, 'I'm obsessed with the new in beauty/aesthetics, I always have been. My favourite weeks of every year are when I go to conferences where the latest innovations in beauty tech, information, ingredients and techniques are shared. Creating innovative beauty products/techniques or treatments doesn't feel like work for me. It is how I've chosen to live my whole working life.'
'MAKING PEOPLE FEEL HAPPY IN THEIR SKIN'
After spending all those years in the beauty space, it can be hard to decide on the moments that really stand out from the rest.
'For me it's not one moment. It's those times when we make an impact on a customer's life. Every time I get customers messages about how we transformed their skin, it makes my day. When customers send beautiful before and afters, I really feel it, it makes me feel so happy.'
She continues, 'This is what it's all about and why I chose to be in beauty/aesthetics all those decades ago. I just love making people feel happy in their skin.'
DR NAOMI'S TOP BEAUTY TIPS
Of course when you get the chance to ask a beauty expert anything, you have to find out their best tips and tricks. There's so much advice out there, it can be hard to knuckle down and decide on the absolute must-haves for your skin type.
According to Dr Naomi, thankfully there's just a few tips you need to achieve your best skin yet.
'So much is about being consistent', she says.
'Sunscreen, LED masking, at home peels like my product One Night Stand are also vital.'
Anything she doesn't recommend?
Dr Naomi shares, 'because we are a cosmeceutical brand, the one thing I see too regularly is people introducing active ingredients too quickly. They're so good for the skin, but people need to follow the directions and introduce them gradually.'
So when it comes to adding active ingredients like retinol and chemical exfoliants into your skincare routine, it's best to just take it slow.
OUR REVIEW OF DR NAOMI'S NEW AND TOP SELLING PRODUCTS
Catfish Blurring Eye Cream, from $89 at Dr Naomi
Tried and Tested by Philippa Tonkin, news.com.au checkout Shopping Writer
Catfish is one of Dr Naomi's best-selling products and is designed to target fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. The key ingredients of Hyaluronic Acid, Hexapeptide-8, Dr Naomi's brightening cocktail and Organic Kangaroo Paw Flower extract work together to brighten, smooth and plump the undereye area.
First things first, I'm 26 and crow's feet aren't at high of my list of concerns at the moment so I can't speak to how it works to target fine lines. But I do have quite puffy undereyes that also get fairly dark when my sleep isn't at its best. I've now been using the eye cream for around a month and have genuinely noticed a big difference. I'm so used to my puffy undereyes and can't believe how they look now.
If fine lines is important to you, though, and said, 'It's also the best performing eye cream for targeting the appearance of fine lines that I've used – and I've tried a lot.'

I've been looking for a new moisturiser to really nourish my skin now that the cold wintertime is here, and this new product release from Dr Naomi has truly been my skin's saviour.
Mr Exosome offers a thick, rich and super luxe texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, so it's great for both morning and night.
After consistently using this product for a few weeks, I noticed a big difference in my skin's texture and tone. My complexion looked brighter and more even, my dark spots and acne scars appeared less visible and overall my skin felt a lot more hydrated.
The powerful formula is packed with plant-based exosomes. The moisturiser also features things like glycerin, kangaroo paw flower extract, niacinamide, centella asiatic and green tea leaf extract which all work together to calm, hydrate and nourish the skin.
I'm a big fan of this formula -it's a total must-have for dry, winter skin.
Plump Fiction Anti-Ageing Moisturiser, $139 at Dr Naomi
Tried and Tested by Susannah Hardy, news.com.au checkout Partnerships Writer
Being in my mid-50s, I find my skin often looks dull, drawn, and just plain tired out. So I'm always looking for skincare to help brighten things up. I know ageing is part of life and there's not a lot we can do about it, but I still like my skin to look the best it can. So when I got the opportunity to try Dr Naomi's best-selling Plump Fiction Anti-Ageing Moisturiser, I was more than keen, let me tell you.
I tried this product morning and night, after cleansing over a few weeks and I have to say, I was delighted. Firstly, apart from the excellent name, I love the packaging. It comes with an easy-to-use pump style top that you simply press down to receive the perfect amount for both face and décolletage. You don't actually need a lot as it goes a long way.
The cream itself is incredibly rich in consistency, which is what I always look for in an anti-ageing product. My skin is generally dry and prone to redness, but I found Plump Fiction to be just so nourishing and soothing when applied. And it didn't just sit on the surface but was quickly absorbed and worked well as a base when applying make-up. It also has a pleasant scent, which I appreciated especially when wearing at night.
After applying Plump Fiction, my skin felt immediately soft, dewy and, well, plump, like the name suggests. It really felt like instant hydration for my face. Now, after a couple of weeks, my skin definitely looks more moisturised with none of the signs of dryness or flaking that sometimes happens as the weather cools. I usually feel quite self conscious about my ageing skin but after using Pump Fiction, it feels soft and more hydrated. It also looks brighter and a lot more vibrant – and at my age you can't ask for more than that.

Tourism Australia nabs Robert Irwin, Nigella Lawson for new international marketing campaign

Australia's tourism bosses have hired wildlife ambassador Robert Irwin and British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson to front a new multi-million-dollar campaign aimed at luring international travellers Down Under. Tourism Australia is set to launch a fresh wave of advertisements across five countries, backed by a $130 million investment that builds on its "Come and Say G'day" platform first rolled out in 2022. Loaded with "mates," "G'days", and a nod to Paul Hogan's infamous "throw a shrimp on the barbie" catchphrase, the $130 million campaign serves up a fresh spin on well-worn Aussie cliches — this time starring a global cast to reel in the tourists. The advertisements feature the animated mascot Ruby the Roo and are tailored to individual markets, a shift from the traditional one-size-fits-all approach. "Traditionally tourism campaigns have leveraged one famous face across every market," Tourism Australia managing director Phillipa Harrison said. "But for our latest campaign, Ruby will be joined by well-known talent from five different markets to showcase personal lasting memories of a holiday to Australia." Tourism Australia is no stranger to bold and sometimes divisive campaigns. From Paul Hogan's 1984 invitation to, "Slip an extra shrimp on the barbie" to Lara Bingle's infamous, "Where the bloody hell are you?", the agency has a long history of attention-grabbing efforts. Hogan helped sell Australia as the land of laid-back charm and Tourism Australia has been chasing that magic ever since. They've previously enlisted Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Delta Goodrem and poured millions into glossy global advertisements. The 2006 Bingle campaign was briefly banned in the UK for its language, but like the latest instalment, it showcased geographical icons like Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef. Professor Daniel Gschwind from the Griffith Institute for Tourism said campaigns packed with Aussie icons and big-name talent can still strike a chord. He said cliches like kangaroos, wide landscapes and even throwbacks to the "shrimp on the barbie" line can be powerful if they reflect what Australia genuinely offers. "They exist for a reason, people respond to them," he said. "Why not build on brand familiarity? Tourists want to see the Australia they imagine and if trusted celebrities can help tell that story, it can absolutely work." He said Paul Hogan's campaign was a game changer for Australian tourism. "There's a whole generation, mostly baby boomers, who still remember that ad and the humour of it. So yes, absolutely, why not lean into it and build on that familiarity? When the campaign launches in the United States visitors will see 21-year-old conservationist Robert Irwin hooning across sand dunes in South Australia's Lincoln National Park, before rescuing an American tourist whose phone has been stolen by an emu. Audiences in the United Kingdom will see television cook Nigella Lawson hosting a winery lunch in Western Australia's Margaret River, where a guest drops the line, "throw another shrimp on the barbie" — prompting an awkward pause before someone corrects him, "Mate, we actually call them prawns". Other localised advertisements feature Indian influencer Sara Tendulkar, Chinese actor and TV host Yosh Yu, and Japanese comedian Abareru-kun who are joined by Australian actor Thomas Weatherall. The campaign is being previewed for Australian audiences ahead of its international debut, with official launches staggered across key market starting in China this week, followed by India later in August, the US, UK, Japan and Germany in September and South Korea in November. The advertisements will run across TV, streaming platforms, YouTube, cinema, outdoor billboards and buses. The campaign comes as Tourism Research Australia data shows international tourism to Australia continues to recover from border closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 7.7 million trips to Australia in the year ending March 2025, an 11 per cent increase compared to the previous year. New Zealanders made up the bulk of visitors, followed by China, the United States, United Kingdom and India. Federal Tourism Minister Don Farrell said the number of international arrivals to Australia was expected to reach a record 10 million in 2026, growing to 11.8 million in 2029. "Tourism is the lifeblood of so many communities right around the country and creates hundreds of thousands of jobs," he said.

Kath and Kim star breaks down in tears during Logies message

Kath and Kim star Magda Szubanski brought the room to tears with a heartbreaking speech after being inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame. The 64-year-old beloved Aussie TV star — who is battling a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer known as mantle cell lymphoma — sent a message to her fellow actors in a video message played to the room. 'I do have a good excuse this time (for not coming to the Logies), normally I don't come because I can't be bothered getting out of my pyjamas. This time there really is a reason,' Szubanski said. 'I want to say first of all, let's get this out of the way, I have not been awarded this honour because I have the cancer, like I am getting this because of 40 years of hard work. 'The love and support that I have felt, like a tsunami, from the Australian public, it has been overwhelming and I have to tell you, it really helps. Szubanski broke down in tears as she thanked those around her for their support. 'I did not think I was going to cry,' she said. 'When I go online and look at those messages, every time, my heart lifts. And I feel that much stronger to deal with the cancer. 'So thank you for the love that you are pouring my way, I really feel it.'
