Review: Esteé Lauder Advanced Night Repair.

Estee Lauder, Advanced Night Repair, serum, Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, gh0stparties

This is probably one of the most expensive skincare items I own, although I do usually always use high-end products on my skin. I had been thinking about buying this for a while before my boyfriend bought me it as a present (no, he doesn't usually buy me things like this and yes, I was as shocked as you) and I've been using it for the last few months and thought it was about time to give you a proper review. 

ANR is a well known and well-loved serum aimed at anti-ageing and improving the overall appearance of skin. It's won countless awards and is loved by many. I don't have the best skin, it can look dull and feel slightly rough and I have blemishes and scarring on my cheeks and chin and as well as the obvious anti-ageing properties, I was also drawn to the promises of protecting against environmental factors. 

I tend to slap this on at night, before moisturising. Serums deliver a higher concentration of ingredients to the skin, but it's important to always finish with moisturiser. 
Over time, my skin looks a lot healthier and clearer and I find that blemish scars fade quicker. I can't prove that this has been what has helped my skin, but I do know that when I apply this at night, my skin looks and feels so much better in the morning. 

As soon as I feel a spot coming or my skin is looking a bit dull and tired, I apply this at night and wake up looking and feeling a lot better. 
It's a bit pricey but you have to splash out for quality! 

What are your thoughts on ANR?

  4. I agree with you that it leaves skin looking so much better in the morning. I've been using ANR for a long time now (I seek out the sample bottles from everyone else's FGWPs as I don't want to spend all that money and half my friends don't think they need to use it yet. The eye cream that sisters this product is also excellent!

    Great review :)

  5. I actually took the plunge and bought this serum in town this morning after hearing so many good reviews! My skin sounds like yours- blemish prone and often dull looking. Glad you have seen beneficial results from it, i am only hoping i can say the same and that it wont break me out further!

  6. I picked up a tester of this as it is quite pricey. I definitely noticed a difference. Think I'll be saving up my pennies for this one :)

  7. I have a good sample size of this, i tend to use it now and again but have not really noticed any benefits, maybe i should use it more often to get the best out of it, but i don't think i could bring myself to buying the size. amazing present though!

  13. Great Post :) I've been dithering about putting this on my wishlist for the next few years because I was unsure about it doing anything but reading this, it sounds worth the investment.
    I think you wrote how you'd love to be one of those old ladies who had used this for years and looked fabulous (if it wasn't you that wrote that then just pretend you didn't read the first part of the sentence!) and I'd really love that too! All those awards can't have been for nothing

  18. This is a holy grail product for me! I used to suffer from acne and this has helped so much, especially with all the scarring that was left behind. I use this every night without fail and I'll keep repurchasing it!

  22. I just got a sample of this a few days ago and so far I'm impressed! The immediate result is impressive, the texture, the smell: so far so good! Everyone seem to love this product, I guess it really is "that" good.

  23. I was going to get this until I found the Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum which I adore! It has very similar properties to the ANR, boosts radiance and is great for any blemish scars and dark spots! You should give it a go!!

    Please check out my blog, I'm new :)

  25. Yikes! I don't think i could ever justify 40 quid on one piece of skincare. I'd feel guilty haha! I guess if it lasts for ages though it could be worth it! How much of it do you use each time?

  27. I've been on the hunt for great skincare items because I'm starting to fear for when I'm older! But even with such great reviews, I don't know if I could justify this kind of purchase!

  28. Can you be using anti aging products at 21? I'm always looking for products with anti aging properties, but recently I was adviced not to use them until my mid twenties.. I really don't know :/

  32. I do love using this product but am being really careful with my trial size bottle cause I dread the day I might need to splash out on the full size.. definitely a product I'll use more of in a couple of years though xo

  33. I absolutely love ANR! I don't use it daily because of the price, and I alternate it with another serum. It really makes my skin feel good the next day and I look so much brighter!

  34. i just cannot afford to spend that kind of money on 1 product xx
