ESTEE LAUDER: NUTRITIOUS MICRO-ALGAE

Estée Lauder's latest range; Nutritious Micro-Algae, comes in the form of 4 brand new products, all of which have been crafted to get rid of any of the impurities on your skin caused by pollution and the stresses of everyday life! 

Within the range, each product features the Triple Algae blend, which has been cold-processed and specially cultivated to preserve those key nutrients within them:

  • Chlorella - An emerald green, freshwater micro-algae rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.
  • Spirulina - A blue-green micro-algae loaded with protein and vitamins including phytonutrients.
  • Laminaria Saccharina - A brown macro-algae rich in chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and polyphenols.

All of the products contain the signature scent of Micro-Algae which is a garden-fresh interpretation of leafy green vitality!

PORE PURIFYING CLEANSING JELLY

I applied the Purifying Cleansing Jelly in the morning as my first skincare product to allow the cleanser to clear any dirt that my skin may have picked up overnight, and I also applied the cleanser at nighttime.

My skin felt much smoother and cleaner, and the few problematic pores I have around my nose, appeared reduced! I also liked how the product lathered into a light foam, and found the cleanser to have a nice subtle scent! 

You can purchase the Pore Purifying Cleansing Jelly here.

 

PORE MINIMISING SHAKE TONIC

I used the Pore Minimising Shake Tonic after using the Purifying Cleansing Jelly, and poured the Shake Tonic onto a clean cotton pad, which I then swept across my face. Out of the range, I found this to be my favourite due to how instant the results were.

My face appeared dewy and had a radiant, fresh faced look, whilst looking healthier! Out of the range, the Shake Tonic is the only one I found that had a slight 'clinical' scent which was slightly off-putting, but regardless of the scent, the product certainly did it's job by minimising my pores.

You can purchase the Pore Minimising Shake Tonic here.

PORE MINIMISING HYDRA LOTION

I applied the Pore Minimising Hydra Lotion both in the morning and night, but found it was more effective on my skin first thing in the morning.

I liked how soft and smooth my skin felt afterwards, and I found out of the range that the Hydra Lotion was one that absorbed into my skin the easiest, and quickest!

You can purchase the Pore Minimising Hydra Lotion here.

PORE PURIFYING CLEANSING BAR

The Pore Purifying Cleanser Bar has a 10 step process which takes place in Japan that takes over 60 days to complete.

A refreshing and unique cleanser, in the sense that I haven't had tried one out in the form of a 'soap bar' before!

I didn't notice much change with this product, however it did leave my skin with a clean and fresh scent!

Overall, I found the range to deliver results and is a range that has instant results! For more information on the range, click here. Also, be sure to check out my review on the world-renowned Synchronized Recovery Complex II!

ESTEE LAUDER; SYNCHRONIZED RECOVERY COMPLEX II

I have always found Estée Lauder to be the 'Crème de la crème' when it comes to their skincare, so you can only imagine how elated I was to have received a bundle of their products! The bundle I had received were all part of the 'Advanced Night Repair' range, which features many products which help to combat any wrinkles that you may have, and helps to keep your skin looking hydrated and radiant. Perhaps some of you may think it's a little premature for me to be thinking about wrinkles and anti-ageing, but I have always said that prevention is better than curing!

In this post I shall be reviewing the Synchronized Recovery Complex II, so be sure to check back in a few weeks for more reviews of the 'Advanced Night Repair' range!

The Synchronized Recovery Complex II is a serum, and is; 

  • Oil-free
  • Dermatologist-tested
  • Ophthalmologist-tested
  • Won't clog up your pores
  • & is fragrance free!

I applied this after I had cleansed my skin at nighttime, and what I like about this, is how easy it is to apply! There is a pipette in which the serum comes in, and I applied a drop of the serum onto each fingertip on one hand, rubbed my fingertips together and then massaged the serum onto my face.

My skin has been rather dry lately, and I've been putting it down to the cold weather, and perhaps I haven't been moisturising enough as I should be.. But what I have found with this serum, is that is adds some moisture back into my skin, and helped to combat my dryness issues! My skin felt smoother afterwards, and appeared brighter and overall, a lot healthier! I also found that although the results weren't instant, if you stick to the routine and apply this nightly for a whole week, I noticed a difference after 8-9 nights of continuous usage.

You can purchase the Synchronized Recovery Complex II here, and don't forget to come back soon for more product reviews from the 'Advanced Night Repair range'!
