I love this product!! I use it twice a day and it works a small wonder for my skin. I have been using it for a couple of month now and my skin feels well moisturized, the small lines around my mounth and eyes have reduced significately. The texture is very smooth and smells nice. I have kind of a sensitive skin but never had problems using this product.
I can really recommend.

Hate to be the bad review here, but this has done nothing for my skin at all. I purchased this based solely on the reviews here but have yet to see any positive changes (although to be fair there have been no negative changes either, no breakouts or allergic reactions). My skin looks no different at all which is a disappointment. I have fine lines on my forehead and around my eyes, and I have seen no changes whatsoever despite using two drops of this religiously every day and night.I have used this for about 6 months and although I got it at the bargain price of $30, together with the matching eye serum which I have yet to try, I wouldn’t buy this again. I have given this plenty of time to exfoliate, smooth my skin or calm any redness but there has been no changes, much to my dismay. Packaging is nice, the glass dropper bottle is sturdy and I have dropped this on the floor quite a few times with no cracking of the bottle. Dropper dispenses the perfect amount, so no complaints there. On the plus side, this isn’t sticky at all, sinks into my skin really fast and smells quite pleasant.

EMAZING!!!! Bought that product as part of my "age panic". I also smoke and I think It really starts to show on my face. After only 2 weeks of use you can really see a huge difference. The skin tone gets even and it's texture smooth and clear. This product is very light, unlike many other anti-aging product, for women my age living in very sunny humid countries like me this is very important cos' the skin doesn't fill to oily and get pimples instead of the wrinkless. Very recommended!!!

I brought this stuff because at the retailer I work at, I can get it at a discount. After reading the rave reviews online, I made the purchase but wasn't really expecting anything. However, I've come to conclude that all those rave reviews were right; this stuff is amazing - my acne scars are almost gone, my skin tone looks more even and healthier, and people are telling me how great my skin looks - and I all kinds of skin problems!

I am most definitely am repurchasing this when I run out of my current supply.

Absolutely AMAZING serum!! This product does what all the others say that they do- deliver clearer, brighter, silkier skin without any irritation. My super sensitive skin didn't react (I am using the regular formula, although there is a sensitive version that I have not tried yet) and it was the only product that I could use- besides Cetaphyl cleanser- during chemotherapy that didn't burn. The results I got from this were almost instant and it keeps getting better! The only complaint I have is that if you don't tighten the cap really tight, the eyedropper in it gets sort of thick and clogged up -- so just make sure you keep it on tight and you won't be disappointed.

This is my HG product!! I use it twice a day (only two drops at a time) and it really works wonders for my skin. It helps reduce any redness and it's very moisturizing. The small lines round my eyes and mouth are completely gone. It smells really nice and its texture is great. Highly recommended.

This finally gave me makeup-optional skin. Period. Age spots, acne scars, active acne, and just looking tired--all bye-bye. Laugh lines--a lot softer. This is pretty wonderful. My skin starts to notice and bite back real fast when I have to use anything else. The number of preventive and corrective, natural and clinical technologies is impressive. Plus it absorbs fast, feels great, and imparts radiance right away.

It's no good under makeup, though. You definitely need at least one buffer layer.

an excellent product! brightens the skin and brings radiance almost immediately after applying!!! my skin looks healthy and glowing just like i've been sleeping a good 10hours straight! lancaster lab did a great job with combining all the anti-oxidants that skin needs and also can absorb. it;s oil free and and skin drinks it up in a matter of seconds! i took off 1 lippy because it;s pricey (86 euros) and i really believe a product like this should be worn by all women all time round!

I received a sample of this in the last test tube beauty kit. The sample lasted about 2 months so I was able to form a fair opinion on it. At first, I thought it was another one of those silly serums that promise the moon and don't deliver and figured I'd use it up anyway just because it was there. The name Lancaster relates to celebrity, Hollywood, and Nordstrom levels in my book and I knew I would not bother with this stuff after I used up the sample since it would probably cost a mint and a half. I even thought it was a bit gimmicky due to it being dubbed an elixir. Its packaging for a sample size is high end and reeks of expensiveness. The bottle is a fair sized glass peachy colored vial with an eye dropper tube. The formula itself is the same color as the vial and has a nice consistency about it. It is sort of a loose gel-like texture. I used it around my eyes every night for 2 months and it absorbed almost readily into the skin. I did not notice anything for about a month but then, true to its profile, the exfoliation process started about that time (you could see light peeling, but it is transient) and shortly after that the skin looked different. I mean that in a positive way. The skin was smoother, dewy looking and the whole orbital area was enhanced. It was actually a bit shocking to see that a serum could actually work like this! This elixir is a non-irritating product that is easy to apply and actually works to make a positive difference in the texture and look of the skin. It's got some trendy but healthy anti-oxidants in it (vitamins) and although low on the ingredient list, some retinyl palmitate, which ultimately converts to retinol when absorbed into the skin. These ingredients, among a few others in it, are dermal friendly and it's obvious through the results. I actually just ordered a full size $95 bottle of this stuff from an online company (got it for $76 at 20% off, too) and would never have guessed I'd have done that based on my initial reaction to the sample I received a couple of months ago! I am pretty financially broke these days but am sweating out the payment for this product because it actually delivers and I'm excited to incorporate it fully into my beauty regimen. I guess it's really just another anti-aging serum for sale...ho hum...but this one actually works! I like!

This is one of the few serums that has work for my dry and sensitive 57 year old skin. I only use it at night because using it twice daily is irritating for my type of skin. It has increased the clairity, luminosity, firmness, and decreased wrinkles. Expensive...yes.... but I have used others that are more and not seen the results. Will not go without.

I really, really wanted to love this stuff! After starting to use it once a day for a week I broke out, BAD(my skin is normally clear)... I kept up with it hoping that something else was making me breakout but it just kept getting worse so I stopped using it for a few weeks. My skin cleared up and I got brave and trid it again... next thing I know I am Super broken out again. I have learned my lesson and have sadly retired this product.

I SO wanted to love this serum... after reading all of these reviews and shelling out nearly $100 for it, I really expected to see some great results. But truthfully, I've been using it several weeks now and see NO especially amazing changes in my skin. There hasn't been anything negative... no breakouts, etc., so I will continue to use til I'm out. But won't repurchase. Sadly disappointed. :-( Update: well, I used this clear thru the bottle and when I discontinued use, I couldn't even tell the difference. Far too much money for no result.

I have tried a lot of skin care products in my day, but this is by far the absolute best. You want results, you will see them the first time you put this on your skin. I am 46 years old. My mother noticed a glow to my skin - she is in her 70s - and she insisted that I purchase her a bottle. It is expensive, but I have seen worse. I also like Hydropeptide serum, but it is around $40 more than Lancaster. I have experimented around for years and spent thousands on face creams that don't deliver. I refer to MU often to see what people have to say and it is confusing because not everyone has the same experience with a product.

Oh, I so wanted to love this serum. The SA at Nordstrom had me convinced that this would be my HG product and when I tried the sample tube of the delicate formula she gave me, I thought she was right...my skin really was glowing and smooth-looking for the first few days. I rushed out to purchase this $95 serum and wow, it just seemed almost like a different product from what I had sampled. Started breaking out in the worst way, worse than I ever have...thought maybe my skin was doing the "purge" thing, but no, it just kept getting worse. I am very sensitive to a lot of things so maybe it was the fragrance or the silicones...I just don't know, but it went back to Nordstrom and now my skin is getting back to normal. Now experimenting with IS Clinical Pro-Heal serum that most doctor offices/ med spas seem to be gushing about...so far, really good, but it has only been a few days...will wait awhile before reviewing.

I liked it very much. I switched to it a couple of years ago on a break from EL Advanced Night Repair (a staple) and I was not disappointed at all!

It's fresh, lightweight citrusy serum that - probably due to the hight level Vitamin C contained - was a little stinging on the skin when applied; reminded me of cellex-C. But nothing major, as it disappeared the minute after.
This serum is packed with anti-oxidants: polyphenol-rich Rosemary, cherry, green tea, green coffee and acerola, while an exclusive Complex containing fig, sugarmelon and pomegranate: All this should works to protect and fortify the skin and maintain ideal levels of moisturisation.
And in fact after one month skin was really smoother & less dull. Not that using Advance Night Repair it was not, but I mean this is probably a more technological product (while ANR, being still very good, was engineered some 25 years ago).
I like this serum, and I will most probably buy it again, when I will want to change my serum.

I bought the version for delicate skin together with Lancaster Differently day cream. I saw all those good reviews about this serum here on MUA before, but anyway -- I should have tried the sample first.
I am not impressed with this serum at all. It has a very runny, watery texture and doesn't seem of a special help. It doesn't help with moisturization, doesn't help with radiance or fine lines or overall look of the skin...Nothing.
It is maybe sufficient for someone in 20's but I am in middle 40's and I don't see anything worth mentioning in this serum. I have to say that my skin is in pretty good condition, it is not very dry etc., but anyway this performs very poor for me. I made a mistake when I bought it without trying the sample first.
Buying Lancaster skincare has always been a waste of money for me (so I don't know why did I buy it again -- yes, I am silly). I am a victim of their good promotion and I thought that they have probably improved the quality of their skincare in recent years, but everything seems the same like 10 years ago when I used to buy some of their products: their skincare have very unpleasant textures for me and weird, very unnatural, "chemical" feel on the skin. I also have a feel of a slightly inflamed skin when I use their skincare . :-(

I got to know this baby from a magazine with a list of products with cult following.

I bought the 50ml bottle in a delicate skin version and halfway through I noticed that my skin was firm, clear and smooth. It takes about a month to see results but the wait is so worth it. No peeling. And I am finding it hard to understand how this product can have this amazing effect without peeling your skin. I swear my skin has never been this luminous and ageless. Needless to say, this is a serum and you still need a moisturizer.

I am on my 4th bottle. Try and you'll see why this has a cult following.
