I'm on my second bottle of this and it really does make my skin look refreshed and healthy. The first bottle lasted at least 6 months so while its expensive I feel it's definitely worth the money. Can't see myself moving on to anything else :)

I have been using this serum for a while and I have to say that although I don't use it as an anti aging serum (I'm 22 so it's not a massive concern of mine just yet) it works amazingly at making my skin look more even and less red.
Although I dont suffer from breakouts often, when I do, I'm always left with red dots on my skin from where the spot has been. I find that this serum can pretty much get rid of that red spot overnight. It's absolutely brilliant and I've recommended it to my friend who suffers from acne and she loves it too!
Yes, its expensive but lasts absolutely ages. I'd say maybe 12 months as you only need a tiny bit.

I'm fairly fortunate not have have too many lines at my grand old age (I started getting acne when I was about 10 so have had a strict skin care routine for about 20 years. Start moisturising young is a good tip!) However I do have noticeable lines on my forehead and frown lines. Or rather I did have!

I was given a free sample of this serum just before my 32nd birthday and over the past month or so I've been using this nightly. Within a week of adding this to my skin care routine there was a marked difference in my appearance. It's like my face has been ironed!

I've been using Boots No7 Perfect & Protect for a couple of years. It's good stuff but I've found that I get through a £23 tube a month. With this Advance Night Repair serum a little goes a long way. The sample I was given was 5ml, I'm not even half way though this after a couple of months of using this. In fact I actually bought a large bottle of this today knowing that it'll last longer than the Perfect & Protect. It retails at about £58 per bottle but this will last 6 months at the very least.

This little bottle of magic saved my skin when I needed it most.

PROS:
-Actually works! I saw results after using only a third of the bottle and so did everyone else I knew who noticed my skin
-Skin glows
-A little goes a long way
-Awesome dropper so you don't waste product
-Doesn't feel greasy or oily
-Moisturizing
-Feels so comfy on skin
-WORTH THE MONEY
-Made my skin less sensitive, didn't make me break out
-Not harsh
-No harsh smell either
-Has years of research and proven results
-Internationally trusted brand

CONS:
-Expensive (but worth it b/c it actually has results)

Will repurchase again and again

I have been using this for about 2 months now and can not believe the difference in my skin so many people have told me how much better my skin looks, i got my best friend and mom to start using it as well and they also love it, i've tried so many serums but this one REALLY works finally ive found one that actually delivers, it's really worth the money! i asked the sales girl if i could use it during the day and she said it works the best at night while your body is at rest but you can apply with a brush in the morning over your makeup and it gives a pretty dewy look, so i tried it and it really does!

This is a must serum to me! This makes my skin looks young and dewy, I use this morning and night along with skii facial treatment essence and clear lotion, I don't like my moisturizer, I'm just finishing Timezones I've got, will be trying Lamer gel moisturizing cream or skii signature cream after..

I've got the sample and it works wonders, I've been using this for a week and I already saw results, I wake up and my skin looks more even, it reduced some spots I had on the cheeks and solved some dehydrated areas I had on my nose.
Unfortunately it's really pricey but it's a really amazing product.

Every time I try this, I break out. No, really. EVERY time. I got a nice sample of this several times and I always had to throw it away. Instant break outs. Doesn't mean it's a bad product, mind. It just means it's incompatible with my skin. :(

I bought a full size of this product, because my mom swears by the stuff. So, I shelled out the dough and religiously applied it to my skin pre-moisturizer 2x a day until the bottle was empty. I have combo skin that breaks out sometimes, and my biggest issue is loss of radiance and a dullness in texture(bigger pores, etc). After using this faithfully for over a month, I noticed no real difference in my skin - perhaps it was a little smoother, but not enough to justify the price tag. The plus is that this serum is very gentle and non-irritating, but I did not have the results my mother did, and I will not repurchase.

When I first incorporated this into my skin care regiment, it did no wonders. I washed my face at night and place this over it and went to sleep, after 2 weeks no results. So I decided to put moisturizer over it because the directions said "apply serum before moisturizing." Once I applied the moisturizer on it did wonders, I had acne that was forming on my chin, which disappeared the next day. It really evens out the skin tone and it diminishes my large pores.

The first 2 weeks into using this product, nothing visibly changes. my skin texture, tone, suppleness all remain pretty much the same. though later i decided to give it a longer time for my skin to adjust, it does appear slightly clearer and smoother and upon application skin feels soft and hydrated. One thing that i really liked is if you wear this before your foundation, it allows your foundation to sit better and more flawless. will i repurchase again? most likely yes until i find a better product.

This product is truly 5 lipsticks. It works wonders on my skin. It fades away scars caused by acne 10x faster than any other product I have tried specifically aimed at them. It hydrates and plumps up my skin so in the mornings, when I wake up my skin looks refreshed and vibrant. It helps even out my skin tone and I always get compliments on my skin whenever I use this product. It reduces the size of my huge pores too. Amazing serum and worth the price tag it comes with. Results from using this product are almost immediate... it's not one of those serums that takes months and months of religious use to notice slight changes!

Oh me, oh my ... what a difference this has made. The skin under my eyes had been sinking and crepey for a few years and I've tried everything under the sun to try to 'plump' it up. This (with the matching eye cream) made a huge difference after a few days and after a month I am absolutely amazed! My skin is soft and supple and amazing. Expensive, but I don't think I can live without this!

This product is pricey but amazing. I don't have really bad skin just a bit of redness and congestion on my chin but this syrum is amazing for that. It's also really hydrating and makes my skin feel amazing. I love it for travelling also!

WOW... this product wins 'Best skincare product of the year' awards and I can see why. Me, my mum, my sister and my aunty all swear by this. Before using this my sister in particular had horrible acne scars and now her skin is perfect (and she puts it all down to this bottle).

For me it has faded all my blemishes and discolouration - I wake up with a natural glow. I'm 22 and have only just started using this (after my sister and Mum raved about it) and i will never look back! I have sensitive skin usually but this doesn't irritate. It's quite expensive but worth every penny. This stuff is amazing! So grateful to have found it.. I do alot of acting and modelling where my skin has to be perfect. I have gone through horrible acne in my life and it left me with skin that wasn't clear. Thanks to this, my skin is getting better by the day. I haven't been using it long but I know that if i keep using it every night my skin will be just a perfect as my sisters. Yay :))

wow okay, where to start! I've only been using this serum for 4 days.. but wow... I have very sensitive skin, acne problems, extremely dry patches and oily skin.. terribly congested and highly sensitive for any skin care product. I haven't found anything that works with my skin.. until this!

I saw an ad. on tv, making me curious, so i started to look for reviews here on on the EL site.. WOW it has been around for so long, how could i not know about this "miracle in a bottle"!

yes it's expensive, but it so pays off. I was fortunate I could buy it duty free from a flight back from miami. 1.7 oz was $67.

After I woke up from the first night use: Immediate results! Unbelieeeevable.. skin was glowing, beaming like it was so happy I used it. The lines under my eyes (caused by dehydration) were basically gone. Red spots from old acne scarring were faded, and my pimple which was comming thru: ALMOST GONE! it truly is a miracle in a bottle, for me that is...

my HG, can't live without it anymore!! True Love!!

I've only had this serum for one day so I'm not going to give it 5 lippies quite yet, BUT so far I really like it. I have very dry, sensitive skin but this morning it felt so soft and smooth. It definitely seems to help unclog pores.

I really hope this will continue to work. Will update soon.

soooo expensive... but worth it. I have a nasty habit of squeezing the *expletive* out of my face. I am not pimply at all, just a very picky person. I just can't help myself when I see a dirty pore. I am heading somewhere with this...lol. Anyhow, as much as I try to refrain from this, when I do give in to my habit... this product is my saviour. There are some nights I will squeeze and not use the advanced night repair and some nights I squeeze and do use it and the difference the next morning is INCREDIBLE!! If I don't use it the places where I've squeezed are still red and obvious. If I use the advanced night repair, there is no trace of last nights activities...mwahahaha... i love it. And of course there's all the softness and other beautification it gives you if you just apply it... for whatever. But I have proof that it really does help skin REPAIR...like its sposed to :)

Now, having just entered my 30s, my skin is as it was when I was 18 - still combination to oily, clear minus my perpetual blackhead issue. But I recognize that while I'm fortunate to have good skin, I shouldn't overlook preventative products to help me along the way, so as to ensure, as best I can, that I keep it that way.




This is a great product in terms of softening - my skin looks so good in the morning when I apply this, which is nightly. I'm hoping it's doing its preventative thing (which we never really know until we get there, do we?) But the fact that my skin feels so velvety smooth and soft will keep me buying this (expensive) product again and again.




An Estee Lauder rep actually gave me another idea for this product. Take a drop of it and mix it in with your foundation (for her, it was Double Wear; for me, it's NARS Sheer Glow or Neutrogena Healthy Skin) and buff it into the skin using a kabuki brush. I personally just use my fingers - I use less this way. At first, I thought, with my already oily skin, won't adding a serum make it even more oily throughout the day? But I've since learned not to be afraid of certain oils, as using them (like jojoba) has actually improved the condition of my skin... so serum, especially one as delightful as this, couldn't hurt. I LOVE the results. My skin is comfortable all day, the makeup looks airbrushed and even, natural and luminous.




This retails for $93 CDN for the 50ml, $65+ (if I remember correctly) for the 30ml.
