This isn’t going to be a full review just yet. I figured I’d blog about it as I go!

I’ve never been a huge fan of Lauder, but when I heard they were having a free gift with a $35 purchase, I knew I’d have to give it a try. I chose the “skin prevention” gift that came with a foaming facial cleanser, facial exfoliating scrub, “Day Wear” moisturizer, a pink lipstick, and the Advanced Night Repair (left).

One of the first samples I decided to try was the highly rated Advanced Night Repair. Meant for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles as well as evening skin tone, this bad boy is normally $77.50 for a full bottle (whoa!).

Lauder describes the product as a the serum that “revolutionizes repair:”

Use this age-defying serum every day and help continuously repair the appearance of past damage caused by every major environmental assault. Exclusive Chronolux™ Technology synchronizes to skin’s needs to help support the optimal performance of its natural repair and protective processes. Now see younger, healthier looking skin today and tomorrow.

I’ve been using the product every night for the past 5 days, after cleansing and prior to moisturizer. So far, I have seen no difference in my skin’s appearance or texture. I don’t have many lines on my face to begin with, so I’m really looking to see how it will even out my skin tone. The summer has left me with a few sun spots here and there. 

Has anyone used this serum before? It has such great reviews on other product websites, surely my skin will see improvement within the next week or two, right?
