Did you know that ESTÉE LAUDER Night Serum with raved reviews has an alter ego with more beneficial and less harmful ingredients?

How did I find it out? Well, some years in the beauty industry, many youtube skincare reviews and articles, and this amazing tool Skinskool allows you to find skincare dupes, holy grails alternatives with a cheaper price tag and clean beauty solution.

While searching for the dupe on Skinskool for Estee Lauder ANR Serum I found the following results: LINK.

There is a huge hype for ESTÉE LAUDER – ADVANCED NIGHT REPAIR SYNCHRONIZED MULTI-RECOVERY COMPLEX especially in the Asian market. And there are complete lovers of this magic serum all over the globe.

PROS :

• Estée Lauder’s serum has been tested and proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Chronolux™ Power Signal Technology – serum reduces the look of multiple signs of aging
• 8-hour anti-oxidant power
• 72-hour hydration
• Oil-free texture

• After one bottle use, 89% of women agreed that skin looks firmer
• Free of parabens, phthalates, sulfites, sulfates and mineral oil

CONS

• Price – very high-end products and price varies between $75 – $200 depending on location and currency
• Not free of BHT, Tetrasodium Edta, Disodium Edta, Triethanolamine, Red 4 (Ci 14700)
• People sensitive to fermented ingredients in skincare should be wary of an allergic reaction

But what I cannot understand is that people don’t read the labels, don’t inquire about the ingredients, and as a result what they put on their face, body and what actually is absorbed into the bloodstream. There are some dodgy ingredients in this magic serum. However, they are at the end of the ingredients list what means that the product contain just the trace amount of them.

On the contrary MISSHA TIME REVOLUTION NIGHT REPAIR SCIENCE ACTIVATOR BORABIT AMPOULE might be a cleaner alternative to Estee Lauder Night Serum. It also has anti-aging properties with the ability to brighten and smoothen your skin while sleeping.
