Impressive and fast improvement

I don't usually write reviews, but I felt this product deserves one. I've never been someone who had significant skin problems, until earlier this year. I started using a line of skincare products (different brand) that promised intense hydration for my skin, however unfortunately they completely cl...

Doesn't work well. Choose Advanced Repair instead

I already finish a whole bottle of this serum and doesn't work on my face. I'm a fan of Night Advanced Repair, which makes my skin feel great and lump after every night. Then I decided to try this one once time instead because I wanted to reduce dark spots on my skin. But it did not work, so I just ...

I love the advanced night repair serum, but noticed that when I looked at my concern areas technically this product in the Estee line up was considered a better fit (i.e. dark spots, tone, etc.). I read reviews too to ensure other sensitive faced users didn't have issues and felt like I didn't see issues. However, this does not give me skin the same bounce back I feel after the advanced night serum and my skin almost feels raw the next morning because of the sensitivity. Going back to my advanced night serum.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Original listing said duo of 1.7 oz bottles. They relisted it as 1.0 fl oz which you can see since I'm now the 'first' review. I used my 20% off promo and it seemed like a really good deal until I received the smaller bottles. Contacted customer service and they said the only thing they could do is return my item. I would lose my 20% off coupon. No offer for credit or discount for the trouble. You can even see in the receipt that they don't bother to list the size of the duo even though all the other products sizes are listed.Obviously they either deliberately or accidentally listed the incorrect size on webpage and relisted it. I also only received 2 samples instead of 3 even though I spent over $300. Take screenshots of the original listings!

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
