An "Okay" Night Treatment
I've been using this on and off for fifteen years, and my opinion at this point is that it doesn't work nearly as well as it promises. It claims to be "advanced" because of the increased silicone content over the original version. Another reason for the "advanced" name is that it contains a larger amount of antioxidants, along with nature's moisture magnet, hyaluronic acid. When I do use this, ...read moreI use it consistently. Yes, my skin is softened, but there is no "dramatic reduction in the major signs of visible aging, day after day, month after month," as Estèe Lauder promises. I'm stunned at the price of this, especially with the lack of results.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 8 people said helpful

Doesn't do what it claims.
Product claims [taken from the Estee Lauder website]: "AWARD WINNER: "Editor's Choice" 2008 Golf For Women Beauty Award, GOLF FOR WOMEN, May/June 2008" PRODUCT DETAILS: "This anti-aging serum helps repair the appearance of past damage and protect your skin's future. Think of it as "insurance" for younger, healthier-looking skin, today and tomorrow. Repairs pa...read morest damage. Helps skin repair its appearance from daily environmental damage to recover a younger look. Heightens skin's natural repair response-critical for its well-being. Soothes daily irritation and builds a rich reserve of anti-oxidants and lipids. Protects skin's future. Neutralizes up to 90% of environmentally generated free radicals before they can affect skin's appearance. Studies show it is this environmental damage-not time-that can cause 80% of the visible signs of aging. Hydrates for skin health. Delivers high levels of long-proven hyaluronic acid, nature's "moisture magnet." Locks in moisture to create the ideal environment for healthy skin. So effective. So advanced. It's patented." HOW TO USE "Apply every PM on clean skin. Follow with your moisturizer. Use 4-5 drops. Smooth in gently all over face and throat. Not for use in immediate eye area." FORMULA FACTS "Dermatologist-tested, Ophthalmologist-tested, Fragrance-free, Non-acnegenic". ================================= REVIEW: I received this product free as part of the cosmetics settlement as well and was excited to try the expensive anti-aging product b/c even though I'm only 23, I am starting to see some fine lines on my forehead and want to keep my skin in good condition. So does it live up to it's lofty claims? Repairs past damage? Doesn't seem to do anything about irritation one way or the other. If anything, results are minimal. Protects skin's future? A tough claim to truly prove, but IME it doesn't seem to do anything with regards to this statement. Hydrates for skin health? Finally, something I can test at home! Unfortunately, the answer is NO, it doesn't really do anything in terms of hydrating. I tried the product by itself and also under moisturizer and moisturizer by itself, and the repair serum didn't seem to make any difference as to how hydrated my skin was. Fortunately, the product did not cause breakouts (however, I am on Accutane). The smell is a little odd. Not a product worth buying, IMO, but since it doesn't seem to be hurting my skin, I'll use it up and hope it's doing something useful that I can't see!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 17 people said helpful

Don't see what the hype is about
I don't really see what the hype is about when it comes to this product. I've tried it for 2 weeks straight and have seen no improvement in my skin, in fair I see absolutely nothing... I don't care for the applicator it get's clogged and nasty easily and has a terrible smell... very industrial which is not something I want on my skin. It did not make me break out, but I woke up with my skin feeling as dry as ever and no improvement.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Good beneficial skin product
It has good ingredients, I like the dropper applicator--you only need a couple of drops, it does not cause acne or irritate my sensitive skin. It seems to have softened up a deep wrinkle of mine after about a couple of weeks of use and is beneficial for my skin. You can get an equally good serum that is less expensive, but it is one of the products I really like at Lauder gift time or as a bonus sample.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 6 people said helpful

Miracle in a Bottle
Some people are writing reviews that confuse the heck out of me. I use this treatment a couple times a week in the morning in lieu of my facial oil. What I have found is short of amazing. My skin is softer, more smooth, and more moisturized after using this treatment. It definitely shows why it costs as much as it does. I love what it has done for my middle-aged facial skin. Love it. Absolutely lo...read moreve it. And the comment about its foul smell? Totally confusing to me. I am extremely sensitive to smells and this treatment has absolutely no smell whatsoever. Maybe people have gotten a bad batch? I don't know. All I know is I am extremely happy with the product I am using. I saw results after the first use. No joke.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great Face Repair
I really love this night repair because I saw big results in the condition of my skin. My dry and uneven skin tone went away and my face felt fresher and cleaner. This is great for moisturizing each night and keeping your face looking great.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

totally worth the $$
you wont beleive the diff in your skin unless you try this. it seems less impressive in its little understated brown bottle than something in a slick scientific tube or futuristic pakage, but the product is incredible. i saw tiny lines disapear on my own skin and a huge turnaround in 2 of my girlfriends. it lasts a long time too, for the little size, b/c you only need a drop or two. reccommend!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 13 people said helpful

I'm a little scared....
Beacause I think this is actually improving my skin. I have to be honest, I hate the price, but I've noticed that ever since I started using this that my skin has started to look and feel better. Its been a slow process but its noticiable. Its softer in the morning, my makeup actually looks better throughout the day, and I'm starting to think I might have to get addicted to Estee Lauder products.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful

In love with this stuff
I'm not a fan of eye cream -- they're always too rich and give me milia. This eye serum, though, is everything. Lightweight, fast-absorbing and a little goes a long way. It hydrates and plumps up to erase fine lines and gets rid of crepey skin.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Wanted to love it but...
It didn't live up to the ads. Did nothing for my skin. I used almost the whole bottle but nothing to show for it. Threw away the rest.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful
