As a brief bit of background information, Estee Lauder (the brand) was officially launched by Estee and Joseph Lauder in 1946. The business started with four core products and has since grown into one of the most iconic beauty brands in the world. One of the most loved skincare staples from the brand is Advanced Night Repair, which was launched in 1982. The formula, technology and ingredients were ground-breaking – making it an industry first in the world of skincare.

So what about this ‘little brown bottle’ that is so special? Well, it has been reformulated many times over the years – each time, seeing the formula improved dramatically. And the current version, the Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, is the most advanced one yet. Packed with skin-loving technology, such as the brand’s patented ‘Chronolux Power Signal Technology’, it works overnight to kick-start the skin’s natural repair process.

The product is also packed with hyaluronic acid, which keeps the skin well-hydrated. Another great thing about Advanced Night Repair is that it continues to work overnight and into the following day after application. It provides a high level of protection from free-radical damage, like the effects of pollution and blue light.

The texture of the product is a thick liquid. It’s not watery so it won’t slide off of skin or hands. It’s just the perfect consistency to cling to and soak into the skin. 

How I Use Advanced Night Repair

The serum is pretty straightforward to use. I simply slather it onto cleansed, slightly damp skin. I leave skin slightly damp because the hyaluronic ingredient will pack in any moisture left on the skin for an extra shot of glow. Moreover, I used the product every night during my trial period to reap the best benefits. I always followed it with a light night cream. Most night creams tend to be quite heavy. But because this product is quite thick in itself, I don’t think it would work well with a super heavy-duty product. Using a thicker night cream on top also runs the risk of overloading the skin. And that can lead to breakouts and an overproduction of sebum (the stuff that makes your skin oily!).

So, did it live up to my expectations? ­I tried Advanced Night Repair for the recommended three weeks. And I must admit I did see a difference in that time. The area that looks most improved is my undereye area. Although I didn’t apply the product specifically to my eye area, it disperses once it’s on the skin, to nourish the areas that need it most. My skin feels softer, looks more glowy and overall less lacklustre. I’m impressed!

Key ingredients

Below are the key ingredients in Revive Skincare Moisturizing Renewal Hydrogel:

• 4D Hyaluronic Acid: It hydrates and retains water for smooth skin. Moreover, Hyaluronic Acid also has the effect of stimulating collagen production, from which your skin will always be young and plump.
• Isononyl Isononanoate: It has the effect of retaining water, maintaining the smoothness of the skin.
• Natural extracts: In this serum, there are more than 10 different types of natural extracts (Tea tree, Lupinus Albus, Aloe Barbadensis, ..) They effectively brighten the skin and limit inflammatory acne.

My Review of Revive Skincare Moisturizing Renewal Hydrogel

I use Revive Skincare Moisturizing Renewal Hydrogel twice a day, right after washing my face. This is recommended because the nature of Hyaluronic Acid is to draw moisture from humid to dry environments. If you apply it while the skin is still moist, it will maximize its benefits. Each time I use it, I use about 2 pumps for the face and 2 drops for the neck. I also like using this serum before applying a sheet mask to boost moisture. I make sure to be consistent with my skincare products. Revive Moisturizing Renewal Cream during the day and the Revive Perfectif Night Even Skin Tone Cream at night work very well with this serum.

When I apply Revive Skincare Moisturizing Renewal Hydrogel to the skin, I feel an immediate refreshing and soothing sensation. The blue particles quickly dissolve and leave a light fragrance. Since I started using this serum, my skin maintains its moisture very well. This serum absorbs into the skin very quickly, leaving no stickiness.

After over 4 weeks of use, I feel my skin always looks supple and feels comfortable. When I put on makeup, my foundation also adheres better to my skin. I noticed that my skin has become more vibrant even though I often stay up late (an easy cause of dull skin).
