Estee Lauder’s #1 Repair Serum worldwide made it into my bathroom about a month ago. Does is live up to the hype?
I caved into the peer pressure, and decided to splurge and get the repair serum. The best thing about shopping in places like the Bay, is that their beauty regularly has crazy gift sets that make buying one crazily expensive product [like the serum], extremely worth it. Yay for samples and freebies!
Advanced Night Repair Serum
The Packaging
Extremely easy to use. It’s an eye dropper style, which allows for exact application, and no excess product is wasted. I typically drop 3 or 4 drops on my fingers, and then smooth onto my face. But, I’m going to try the way described on the Estee Lauder website:
1. Apply a drop to each finger tip on one hand
2. Touch finger tips of each hand together
3. Massage serum over face and neck starting at the center, outward.
The Product
This claims to fight all the key signs of ageing for all skin types. There is lots that this product tackles:
– Aging
– Dryness
– Lines and Wrinkles
– Dullness
As I am now 25, and pretty much it’s all downhill after that, I am definitely interested in prevention. Is it sad that I’m noticing how much my lifestyle affects my body now? Oh, for the days of glorious, untamed youth.
The serum is thin, so it applies quite nicely. A few drops definitely goes a long way, so I’m not so upset over the cost. I noticed an instant difference the morning after my first application – my skin was so smooth! I fell off the band wagon a little once I took my trip, but now am back to using it every night before bed.
It doesn’t have any strong scents, and dries upon application quickly enough that you have time to apply it all over your face without it pulling on your skin. I do love that it is oil-free as well.
The Verdict
I would definitely by this product again. It should last a good while, it doesn’t even look like I’ve made a dent in the bottle. I even got an extra sample of this and gave it to my mom to try – She loves it! I am now on the hunt for another night moisturiser, since I’m not a fan of just using the serum on it’s own. This is something I definitely recommend!
Estee Lauder Extras
So this gift set was composed of: Eyeshadow quad in Envious Orchid (similar), Sumptuous Bold black mascara, two lipsticks, the Revitalizing Supreme creme, the Advanced Night Repair eye creme, and the Modern Muse lotion.
I’m extremely excited to start using the cremes more often, I wanted to use up some of my older stuff first. I love the lipsticks though! They’re the one things I use on a regular basis. They’re smooth and last quite a while. I’ll do swatches at a later date, and full reviews of the cremes when I have used them longer.
