High-Performance Skincare, Made Simple
Skincare doesn't need to be complicated to be effective. This two-step ritual replaces the guesswork of multi-step routines with a streamlined system that delivers deep hydration, nourishment, and glow morning and night.
- Streamlined: Just 2 steps, AM + PM
- Effective: Targets dryness, pigmentation and fine lines
- Long-lasting: Hydration that holds for up to 72 hours
- Smart layering: Water + oil serums that work in synergy
- Skin-friendly: Designed for maturing, sensitive skin
- Local: Developed and made in NZ
/ FACE Ritual pairs a water-based serum with an oil-based serum to deliver high-performance actives in the most skin-absorbable way. Each layer is formulated to work in synergy, maximising results and minimising time spent.
Step 1: I WOKE UP LIKE THIS – Beyond-Hydration Perfecting Serum
A lightweight serum that tackles dehydration, dullness, and uneven tone with a multi-pronged formula of three molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Panthenol, and botanical extracts like Gotu Kola and Liquorice Root. Designed to hydrate, brighten, smoothe and soothe in one go.
Step 2: YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE – Supercharged Glow Drops
A golden oil serum powered by 15 nutrient-rich oils, CoQ10, and over 1% Bakuchiol - a natural retinol alternative. This step nourishes, locks in hydration, improves elasticity, and smooths fine lines for that unmistakable lit-from-within glow.
Use both morning and night after cleansing with ONE & DONE Dual-Action Cleansing Balm. Start with the water-based serum, then follow with the oil. Finish with sunscreen in the morning, and you're done.
We know that you're already doing it all. This is skincare that works smarter, so you can do less.

Customer Reviews
It does what it claims it will do!
I’m a 45 yr old female who purchased these for a few reasons.
1. The whole routine is only 2 products
2. Fine lines/wrinkles
3. Uneven skin tone & sun spots
After 2 weeks of using these 2 products I definitely noticed a difference. Skin is super hydrated and a noticeable improvement in skin tone. Products are really nice to apply and I just love the smell of You Are My Sunshine. I highly recommend giving these products a go, you won’t be disappointed.
This is my third time using both the “I woke up like this” and “you are my sunshine” serum duos. It never ceases to amaze me how effective and easy these serums make my morning and evening skincare routines for a busy mum like myself.
“I woke up like this” gives my thirst-quenching skin a punchy hydration boost, while “you are my sunshine” leaves my skin looking radiant and evens out my skin tone. As the colder months start, these have been the ultimate hydration and texture duo for my seasonal skin changes. Not only that, eliminating the need for moisturiser and eye creams makes my skincare routines routine and easy, which makes them perfect for anyone on the go—not just for mothers.
I highly recommend these two serum duos. They’re truly made with love and well thought out to make busy lives easier, without missing out benefits and quality of any product.
I have used Mater skin and hair care products for a year or more now. After trying the face ritual, I will never go back to other brands or skincare products. The I Woke up Like This serum is so light and silky on my skin. The You Are My Sunshine face oil is so hydrating and leaves my skin literally glowing. Fine lines have disappeared and my skin is so soft. I have tried other face serums and oils but the high quality, natural ingredients of Mater beauty products make these an absolute stand out.
Never ever have I been happier with a skin care product. Finally something that’s quick, easy AND actually works. I cannot remember a time my skin was better than now (I’m 42) and people started complementing me on my skin, (which never happened before.). Thank you MATER queen for creating this amazing line. Treat yourself people, any regret highly unlikely!
Omggggg. These two are a facial powerhouse!!!. I don't know what witchcraft this lady has done, but she has done IT. Ive employed a rigorous Korean Skincare routine for god knows how long, trying to attain the perfect balance for my skin, and these 2 little potions just blow whatever I've used in past out of the water. Thank. The. Heavens. My skin has never looked or felt better! (Not that my husband notices) The only other product you need is sunscreen. That's it.
