Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II Serum is consistently a very highly rated product and was on sale at bonton.com, so I decided to give it a shot. I originally purchased this product was because I had read from other reviewers that it was great for fading acne scars. I am still in my twenties so this product may be a miracle worker for women who are older, especially because it is more targeted for anti-aging as opposed to fading acne scars, but it unfortunately was not a holy grail for me...
Here's my detailed review of the product:
Pricing: $75
Excuse the water marks on the table... |
Lactobacillus Ferment...that's cool! |
Scent: It smells kind of like perfume an elderly woman might use. It is not unpleasant, but it is not pleasant either.
Pros:
- Brightening / makes your face look more radiant after application
Cons:
- Pricey
- Runs out quickly due to the small size
- Although it makes your face look more radiant after application, this result did not last for me on the next day
- Sticky and does not sink readily into the skin, it sort of sits on the top of the skin
- Effects not readily noticeable after multiple applications and consistent use
Overall Comments: I had such high expectations. However, I do not think this product is any better than cheaper serums such as the Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence (review to come) for that purpose. I also think MUAC's .30 retinol serum (review also to come) is better than this product for both acne scars and anti-aging and at a fraction of the price. Won't be repurchasing but would consider retrying when I get a little older.
Overall Rating: 3.5/5.0
