Estée Lauder: Advanced Night Repair & Revitalizing Supreme, The Efficient Anti-Aging Duo

This spring I tested the star duo of Estee Lauder

during two months : Advanced Night Repair Serum and Revitalizing Supreme, the ultimate global anti-aging creme of Estée Lauder. I was looking for a firming anti-aging cream, particularly nourishing (but not greasy) to boost my combination skin which is extremely dehydrated, sensitive and dull at the end of winter (gray beige tone, lol). I needed a real effective care that brightens my poor skin. Very demanding the girl! I’m like nude-nude (no make-up) complexion and that means a beautiful skin well groomed! And beautiful skin means daily cares.

After the first week of use, I noticed a slight improvement: my features were smoothed. The following weeks, my skin became brighter and relaxed (good hydration) and sanitized (with less redness). Great for the mood! Yet throughout the test period, I have been lax in my beauty routine, limiting myself to a minimum. For cons, I daily appied these two products in synergy every day at least once a day. Some evenings, I only put the serum which is really great (!). It lasts long.

Great first experience with Estee Lauder products : I really enjoyed the ease of use, textures and flavors. And quickly, the effects are visible (so important to keep the motivation!). But don’t expect that beauty products as good as they are, can erase wrinkles and fight alone against sagging. I believe more in the lifestyle, daily treatment (with cosmetics of course, cares and massages), genetics and happiness (yes!), to prevent or improve wrinkles and sagging … nothing new (I know I’m repeating myself, lol)!

Chanel,”Hydramax + Active”: Facial Cream

Last spring, I tested the famous active moisture gel cream Hydramax + Active de Chanel. A light silky smooth texture melts in skin like a voile. Discrete and uplifting nice smell, in an elegant jar. Epicurean and hedonistic, I was captivated. What asking for more? Moisturizing! Skin comfort. Applying the gel-cream, I felt on my skin an incredible freshness. But after few hours, my skin was thirsty and tugged. Another bad thing, totally personal, I had a small allergy: mini red spots. My skin is very sensitive. So I asked for the opinions of my user friends. Mo is an early twenties years old lovely baby face, with an oily skin and she is a smoker: “This moisturizing really works on me, I can see the difference when I use it. And it lasts”. Tatiana, also a twenty years old pretty face, agreed with Mo. But Noemie, her older sister, an early thirties replied: “I tried this cream and there was not any effect on me. No particular super moisturizing effect on my skin!”.

Conclusion: could we say that Hydramax + Active is really efficient with very young skin (less than 25 years old)? Reactive skins might watch.
