A beauty item dubbed a ‘godsend’ and voted best on the market, has been flying off the shelves because it hydrates, refreshes and plumps skin while you sleep, shoppers say.
New Zealand brand Kotia has been praised for its award-winning Regenerating Night Cream, with many fans declaring it’s a permanent part of their bedtime skincare routine as they notice their face ‘glowing’ after using the product before bed.
What makes the face cream special is its hero ingredient: deer milk.
According to science, deer milk boasts an impressive number of antioxidants, nutrients and anti-inflammatory agents such as vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin E and vitamin D3 – all of which have been shown to help protect the skin and prevent lines and wrinkles.
The skincare ingredient was discovered by chance in Aotearoa after Dianne, one of the milkers working with the deer, noticed her hands were becoming smoother, softer and more youthful – despite years of hard farm work wreaking havoc on her skin.
The formula has been clinically proven to boost skin elasticity by up to 93 per cent and increase skin firmness by up to 82 per cent, with shoppers reporting seeing a noticeable reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and signs of ageing.
The dermatology-tested moisturiser sinks quickly into the skin, helping the surface layers retain hydration throughout the night.
The night cream contains skin-loving ingredients such as antioxidants, amino acids and avocado oil rich in vitamins A, B, C and D that ‘works tirelessly’ while you sleep to rejuvenate and renew the appearance of your skin.
The scientifically proven lotion is so popular that it was voted the best night cream in NZ’s Verve Beauty Awards of 2019.
Hailed as ‘beautifully nourishing’ and ‘truly luscious’, the $75 best-seller has become a must-have for thousands of beauty fans.
Fans of the product insist the ‘affordable’ formula feels ‘luxurious’ without the ‘luxury price tag’ – as it ‘melts’ into their skin almost instantly.
Others reveal how they are waking up with a ‘glowing’ complexion and ‘feeling fabulous’ after regularly using the ‘goodness in a bottle’.
‘Simply put this is a godsend,’ one happy shopper shared.
‘As I have aged my skin has become more sensitive and dry – and no one wants to look like a dinosaur before their time. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this product left my skin feeling soft, hydrated, refreshed and renewed in the morning and ready to face whatever the day brings,’ another raved.
‘I reckon this product adds to the whole night time experience, therefore improving my sleep. A lovely light cream that doesn’t feel sticky and hydrates beautifully. People have commented on my glow when I wake up,’ a third shared.
‘How cool is it that this anti-ageing night cream does all the work while you sleep? This night cream feels like such a treat. I actually look forward to my bedtime skincare routine now, and my skin drinks it up. In the morning my skin looks refreshed and feels so soft and smooth,’ one added.

One shopper, aged 67, said she began receiving ‘unexpected compliments’ after using the night cream religiously every night before bedtime.
‘At 67, I never expected anyone would comment on the “quality” of my skin, but that’s exactly what happened three weeks after using Kotia nightly. If you’re looking for something super hydrating, then I highly recommend giving this a go,’ she said.
Many revealed they can’t live without the lotion, with one shopper saying: ‘I’m on my fourth jar. I wake to incredibly soft, smooth skin after using it every evening.’
And several fans couldn’t agree more after the ‘truly luscious’ formula helped transform their nighttime routine, delivering a youthful, glowing complexion.
‘Worth the hype,’ one shared.
‘This will forever be my go-to. It never fails and is 100 per cent worth the money,’ another revealed.
‘My nightly essential for a radiant complexion; this cream leaves my skin plump and oh-so-supple. On to my third tub,’ one added.

Known for its science-backed skincare range, the brand’s farms employ a safe, harmonious and regulated milking process designed to ensure the animals are in a stress-free environment.
‘Our milking process is designed to be quick, gentle, and efficient, typically lasting just 90 seconds – significantly less than that for cows,’ Kotia said on its website.
‘We’ve observed that hinds respond more positively to female handlers, and whenever possible, we employ female milk hands to further ensure a calm and gentle process.
‘Our hinds produce an abundance of milk, ensuring that there’s always more than enough for their fawns even after milking.’
The hinds and fawns live in the farm’s best paddocks, enjoying a nutrient-rich diet that helps keep them healthy and thriving.
