When BlogHer gave me the chance to review the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair, I couldn’t say yes fast enough. Here’s why:
I am a loyal Estée Lauder makeup customer and have been for many years. I love their mascaras, lipsticks, eye shadows, you name it. I really love them. When it comes to foundation? I can’t live without my Estée Lauder Double Light Wear. It’s the perfect combination of hydrating and smoothing. Its light, matches my complexion and makes me feel evened out, if only in one little corner of my life.
If that weren’t enough of an incentive, you know I am one tired mama who doesn’t get enough sleep. All the women in my fair-skinned Polish family have noticeable fine lines around the eyes, myself included. Lastly, as much as I would want to, I could not manage a daytime skin care regimen. I have too much to squeeze into the daytime hours as it is. But the night-time hours? They were wide open. I have been hesitant to try many face creams or tonics because my skin is sensitive and prone to breaking out, but this was simply too tempting to pass up.
Estée Lauder reports that Advanced Night Repair’s technology helps continuously repair the appearance of damage to your skin by stress, sun exposure and other environmental factors. It’s designed to offer protection to your skin and increase hydration. My results? Overwhelmingly positive.
I followed the instructions, which included applying several drops of the serum every night, after I washed my face and before I went to bed.
I loved the feel of the concentrate. It’s as light as water. Maybe lighter. You can squeeze a couple of drops onto your fingertips and cover most of your face and neck easily.
My worst fears? Unfounded. I didn’t break out at all. Not a pore was clogged during my trial. The night repair made my skin feel firmer almost immediately upon application, without any dryness or tightness that can come with more harsh, alcohol-based cleansers or toners.
There were a couple of nights that I fell asleep settling down one of my kids and stumbled into bed, not realizing I had not applied my night repair. I could immediately notice the difference upon waking up. Most noticeably, more puffiness around my eyes than when I used Advanced Night Repair. My fine lines? I don’t look like I’ve had a face lift, but I can see a difference. At $47.50 per ounce it’s not exactly inexpensive, but that bottle goes a long way in more ways than one.
Applying the Advanced Night Repair to my face at night made me feel a little better about myself. It was something I could do for me at the end of each day. Knowing that I was taking better care of my skin made me feel good. I took a little longer separating out my lashes with my mascara wand and spent just a minute longer making sure the shadow on my lids was just so.
Looks like I have a new skin care product to love. I think you will love it too. But don’t just take my word for it!
