Sadly it didn't do much for me, 20 Jun. 2015

I'm sorry to say that this highly-touted, award-winning serum failed to impress me. Sorry because we all like to believe in a miracle cure, and sorry because I wasted a fair amount of cash. I started using this product at night, topping it with a night cream as per recommendation on the box. Because, by its nature, a serum is a carrier (i.e. it prepares the skin for the active cream that follows) it is difficult to evaluate its effectiveness in isolation. The only way is to compare results between the combo of the serum plus cream, versus the cream alone.

Since I had not noticed any quantifiable results after two months of regular use, I carried out an experiment: I applied serum plus cream to one side of my face, and cream alone to the other. After two weeks of nightly use and comparisons, I could not see any difference between the two (which suggests to me that the serum was not doing much).

This is an expensive yet good fragrance free serum for all skin types, although it's not one of the very best serums out there, neither is it night specific. This does contain helpful antioxidants, repairing agents, tripeptides and a friendly type of bacteria known as lactobacillus. But Lactobacillus ferment has no current research proving its merit for topical application to the skin, but it may have an anti-inflammatory function.All that said, this is a very good hydrating formulation certainly worth considering, and can be used day and night, on its own or under your moisturiser or night cream. I like the light silky serum texture. Estee Lauder do other more expensive skin serums in their growing line of products, but they are on the whole, no better than this product and formulation.

I have used this product for around 10 years with great results. I used this bottle and it has made my skin come out in angry spots. After two weeks I stopped using it and the spots improved within 48 hrs and went within 3-4 days. Coincidence??!!
