Review: 5 Women Tried Asia’s #1 Anti-Ageing Serum and They Now Understand Why It Has Such a Cult Following

Here are their authentic reviews after using it for at least one week

Asia’s number one serum just got an upgrade, and it’s an important one. While we already know that Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair is a hardworking anti-ageing serum that boosts skin repair while you sleep, keeping your complexion well-hydrated, radiant, supple and youthful, its improved 2020 version, the New Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, not only delivers a new youth generating power to keep the signs of ageing at bay, but also promises to work even faster – 25 per cent faster, says the brand, than before1.

In fact, results can be seen with just one dropper of the new serum as it’s enriched with enhanced skin-loving properties with its new 72-hour hydration promise and 8-hour antioxidant protection to keep skin strong and looking radiant and plump4.

The secret is a new skin discovery, a “youth generating molecule”. The molecule is essential to how fast and how well your skin repairs itself every night. Estée Lauder uses its exclusive Chronolux™ Power Signal Technology to stimulate the molecule, improving communication between skin cells so they work faster and harder in skin repair: creating fresh new cells2 and encouraging collagen production3.

What you get is smoother, more hydrated and radiant skin.

We got five women to test the New Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex for a week, and here’s what they said:

Review: 5 Women Tried Asia’s #1 Anti-Ageing Serum and They Now Understand Why It Has Such a Cult Following
Tester #1: Sheryl Ho, 23, student

Skin concerns: Redness and pigmentation, along with dryness and skin sensitivity

The review: “I exercise five to six times a week, so I need a product that keeps up with my active lifestyle. I’ve never used Advanced Night Repair before, but I thought the bottle looked luxurious.

The texture is great. It feels like a thick concentrated serum, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling sticky after. My skin instantly felt more hydrated and looked radiant and plump with each use. Plus, it was suitable for my dry and sensitive skin and I didn’t have to worry about any redness showing because it kept my skin soothed and supple.”

Verdict: “I will definitely be using the serum for at least a month, in order to really reap the benefits of the product! I would recommend it to my friends who are looking to start ageing prevention early, as the product is suitable for all skin types. I especially like that it worked well on my sensitive skin.”

Skin concerns: Dehydrated, dry and sensitive skin that gets easily irritated by the environment (dust, pollutants, grime etc) and mask-wear. Also starting to see pigmentation, and fine lines on the forehead and around the mouth.

Review: “I would call myself a second-generation user of Advanced Night Repair. When I was younger, I used to see the bottle on my mum’s dresser, and one day, out of curiosity, I put some on my face. It’s been years since my little experiment but it was nice to get reacquainted with it, and to see its skin repair power for myself and why my mum was such a fan of it.

I was out extremely late one night – I only got home at 6am and that morning was the first time I’d tried the New Advanced Night Repair.

And it saved my skin. In the past, my skin would flare up and look extremely parched, but not that time. More importantly, the serum kept my skin calm – it didn’t cause it to act up even during my time of the month, when my skin is at its most sensitive.”

Verdict: “An overnight skin-saver that not only keeps my sensitive skin calm and well-hydrated, but also works as a great supplement to my skincare routine.”

Skin concerns: “Maskne” – bumps and clogged pores, fine lines around the eyes from habitual pre-bedtime rubbing, and early sagging at the cheeks due to ageing.

Review: “My current lifestyle is ‘unhealthy’, especially in this WFH situation – no exercise, not enough water and too much junk food. The healthiest thing for me is clocking in eight hours of sleep every day.

I haven’t used this serum before, but I’ve heard good stuff about it. Someone I know swears by it and says it made a huge difference to her skin. I expected the serum to be thick, but its gel texture didn’t feel heavy on my skin at all. Instantly, I noticed that my skin felt hydrated – my skin had been more dehydrated than usual over the past few days, so I could practically hear my skin thanking me for the serum as it lapped it up. I could see that the dehydrated patches on my cheeks looked instantly plumped, even before I applied my usual moisturiser.

I couldn’t judge its line-reducing abilities as my skin is still, thankfully, line-free. But I did observe that my skin was glowing in the mornings. In fact, for some of the nights, I applied it only to my cheeks and the area looked more radiant when I woke up.”

Verdict: “The night serum is a powerful hydrator and radiance enhancer. For the two weeks that I was testing it, my skin stayed hydrated all through the night and in the mornings, my complexion was noticeably glowier and more plumped up than usual.”

Skin concerns: Oily and dry skin, coupled with pigmentation. Also tends to get breakouts during the “time of the month”.

Review: “My life is busy and hectic, and even though I sleep well, drink lots of water, have regular facials and laser treatments, I still think my face needs more TLC. The New Advanced Night Repair serum has a slightly richer texture, which I didn’t mind as I found that it instantly absorbs into the skin and leaves it feeling soft and supple.

The overall result was exactly what my skin needed. Because of my combination skin type, this serum was able to help keep the drier areas sufficiently hydrated, yet it didn’t feel too heavy on the oilier areas.

I had initially started using the New Advanced Night Repair at night, but as I started seeing an overall improvement in my skin texture by day four, I began incorporating it into my daytime routine too. And I’m glad I did, because I love the way my skin feels every morning.”

Verdict: “It improves skin texture for a smooth and supple complexion.”

Skin concerns: Dehydrated skin with fine lines and some sagging. And while her skin is reasonably healthy, she still worries about the lack of hydration, onset of more and deeper lines, sagging, and pigmentation.

Review: “I’ve been working from home for months now, and unless it’s very hot, I usually work without air-conditioning. This means I want a skincare product that won’t make my skin feel tacky with the heat and humidity.

When trying the New Advanced Night Repair, I found that using a whole dropper (the recommended amount) at one go was a little too much for my face, which is on the small side. So, I decided to split the amount in half, applying it in two batches, waiting a minute in between for the serum to fully absorb into my skin. And I felt like my skin benefited more from this method. Right away, it looked brighter and more hydrated.

Over the week, I noticed that my skin was visibly smoother – pores appeared smaller and a small zit subsided faster and left no tell-tale mark behind. My skin is also less red. In the mornings, my complexion looks much healthier – brighter, glowy and more awake.

I like that it plays well with my second serum (the New Advanced Night Repair goes first), helping my skin reap even more benefits, like hydration and healing. Plus, the texture isn’t heavy or oily, which is perfect for my non-air-con WFH environment.”

Verdict: “It helps skin get and look healthier, which in the long run, will help with the signs of ageing.”

It is also available via the Estée Lauder Concierge Service, and these stores: Sephora, Metro, Robinsons, Lazada, Tangs, BHG, Isetan, Takashimaya D.S and OG. $130 (30ml), $175 (50ml) and $224 (75ml).
