Is Estée Lauder worth the money??

I’ve just finished serum and moisturiser!! Not sure if there’s a cheaper brand which is as good. Thoughts please?

The Byoma hydrating serum is nice, currently using that and Embryolisse cream.

Their moisturiser is the only one I’ve been able to use without problems for years. Bit galling that none of the cheaper brands have ever suited me so well.

I've dipped into EL over the years but having had a mini facial with them earlier this year I have changed to EL for my eye cream, moisturiser and serum. It's made my skin look much better and given it more of a glow. Yes it is spendy, but I find I use much less so it's cost effective. I also use the EL eye make-up remover because again it's the only one that doesn't leave a film on my eyes or irritate the skin around the eye.

I've just come back from Greece and took EL minis which were a godsend. I haven't got the dry skin that comes from planes, air conditioning and late nights!

Agree 100%. I use the Byoma and it’s excellent. Also contains no nasty chemicals/hormone disrupters. I tried the EL serum and found it just dried my skin out, made no difference at all. Couldn’t understand the hype at all.

Had a look last night and the gift sets are out for Christmas. I don’t know if one of those would make it a bit cheaper for you? I’ve already asked DH if he will buy me a particular one Smile

Why don’t you try from QVC? They do several beauty brands at discounted prices , but the best thing is that it can all be returned for full cash back within 60 days if you find that you have a reaction to it or just don’t like it .

I prefer Elemis but it’s hard to answer really as we all have different skin. So what works for me EL or anything else may not work for you. I do love their mascara though and the night serum. But have found much better other facial products elsewhere

Revolution serum is exactly the same as Advanced Night Repair, I can't tell any difference at all, brilliant stuff.

I buy Estee Lauder eye pencils as they don't irritate my eyes and the watery glow primer is fantastic.
