Sample Sunday! Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex

Try saying that product name after a couple of glasses of vino! I’ve said before that I’m not really in the target age group for serums. I’m 23 so don’t really have anything in the way of wrinkles although my long sightedness (oh yeah, reading glasses at age 7. Beat that Granny!) has lead to a few fine lines under my eyes due to squinting. My acne prone younger sister swears by this stuff though. She claims that it calms down her skin and helps keep it under control and in fairness her skin has been looking a lot better recently. 

The serum is very thin and slippery so it spreads over the skin easily. It does add some moisture, this combined with my night cream have finally put an end to the flaky patches I developed during the winter. I have been having a little trouble with breakouts around my chin over the past few months and this doesn’t seem to have made them any better or worse. What I have noticed though is an overall erm.. ‘niceness’ to my skin. It looks that tiny bit more even, less tired. It’s really hard to put my finger on it. My under eye area is smoother too which was a surprise. 

This tiny sample has lasted me over three weeks which makes me feel a little better about the price. You can get 50ml for £51 or 30ml for £39 which is frankly a little bit mad even though I think it would take me months to reach the end of a bottle. I just can’t justify it at the moment even though I do think my skin has benefitted it. When my budget is looking a little better though I would seriously consider it x
