I think I’m going to stick to my usual Ponds moisturizer with drops of pure Rose hip seed oil mixed in. Rose hip seed oil is a source of natural retinol , and has a less irritating ‘exfoliating’ effect than chemically produced retinol. So for the price, this expensive night cream was not a ‘ go’ for me.
The brown-coloured, apothecary-style bottle with gold design looked like royalty on my humble bedside table standing tall among, used-up cotton pads and multiple lens cases. That’s why the story of why Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair is important in the larger picture. It might be too steep for a baby boomer, but for millennials and Gen Z, it’s on it’s way to becoming a cult favourite as it takes care of a multitude of Estee Lauder makeup skincare problems in one go. And much as you try, there is no product like it in the market – no dupe, no ‘mee-too’, no combination of the same ingredients. That’s a steep amount to pay for serum and to top it off, a serum was a ‘non-essential’ in the Indian handbook of beauty, till a few years back. Between a moisturiser, a hesitant face mask, and the occasional retinol, a serum isn’t exactly attracting Indian women.

Other tasks include helping the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin , making the product spread nicely over the skin , and attracting water into the skin. A little helper ingredient that gives the formula a good slip and helps to solubilize other ingredients. Italso has binding, softening and moisturizing properties.
Dimethicone also provides a significant amount of emollience and coverage to the skin without feeling heavy. Tried Estée Lauder’s advanced night repair for the first time. Cleansed first with Ponds cold cream, then applied the night repair serum, genifique then my usual night cream. Very soon afterwards my face felt as if it was irritated and burning. My skin stopped burning but still feels a bit irritated. I’m suspecting the retinol, as retinol most certainly can be irritating I have read.
