So yes my money was spent on Estée Lauder makeup and mums was my skin care ! Bless her . But I can say my skin is beautiful and looks amazing for my age. However my younger family was treated exactly the same so everyone thinks we have genes to keep us young ! How wrong are they. But I look back at 69 , and my skin looks amazing thank you Estée Lauder, will I change my skin care absolutely not ! Will I change my primer , foundation , concealer not a chance ! I love all my products and yes I have new back ups in case anytime I can’t rebut . Buts it’s a big tank you to my mother a big thank you to Estée Lauder , and it gives me love for my ski; , so yes !

Hi doctor Anne. I used this product since January and one time I used this with Antipodes avocado pear night cream and I had terrible alergy. Which as far as I know, I never have any alergy. But when I use them separately I have no problem at all. I believe they have some ingredients that will make chemical reactions when combined

While I of course can't say for sure, I don't think that is likely. Skincare products are usually formulated in a way that they don't react easily so they are more stable.

My mother was on Estee Lauder's skincare and had great skin. She was 74 when she died and did not have wrinkles. It worked for her. My grandmother also used this product and died at age 84, she also did not have any wrinkles. I am curious if you have reviewed Lancome's serum (Genifique) which would be a competing product. If so, how do you feel that Lancome's Genifique Serum competes and compares with Estee Lauder's Night Repair Serum? I'd love to see you review these two for a couple of weeks or months - and see which one you recommend based on trying them both on either side of your face.

Hey. I’ve started using this serum. My skin started feeling fresh and soft. But there are increased number of acne. I am not sure if it is purging or breakout? How can i be sure

The serum does not contain ingredients that encourage purging. Best way is to stop and see if the breakouts disappear - a lot of things can cause breakouts, so it might be just a coincidence, but of course it might be that your skin doesn´t agree with the serum.

While there is no harm in using it (other than the price point), I would make sure that I have the basics in place before, like regular sunscreen (yes, even for melanated skin), hydration, a good cleansing routine and maybe, if you feel like you are aging prematurely, a retinoid. If you already have that, then maybe this one is a good addition.

It depends what else you are using. On it's own it probably won't be enough to quench dryness, you'll need an occlusive moisturizer (and a gentle cleanser) as well. And 15 days isn't that long to see results, 4-6 weeks is a better time frame.

You can use that one around the eye area, but as I never tried the eye version I can´t tell you exactly how they differ from each other. You do however not need a separate eye product if you don´t want to - the only time I think it is important to consider that is if you want to use a retinoid.

Hi! I’m a little bit late in watching the video. But I’m wondering if you would recommend this to a 22 year old considering the ingredients and since it’s promoted as anti aging? Thank you in advance!

[@DoctorAnne]

It is a lovely soothing and hydrating serum, but a very pricey one, so i can‘t give it a recommendation for everyone. It depends on what you are looking for: If it is anti aging (as in prevention at your age) I don‘t think it is necessary. If you are my age and use all the heavy hitters for antiaging and want a little something-something (and have the budget!) then yes, I recommend it. But (no offense) at the age of 22 you probably have other investment priorities than a serum.

Well, if you ask me you need sunscreen every day, no matter if or if not you use this serum. Yes, you could use it after dermarolling. And I like the pixi Vitamin C serum, but you need to make sure to use it up quickly as it oxidizes within six to eight weeks.
