Going above and beyond!
This serum gives my face the glow I need — it's a MUST HAVE! Most significantly, I would like to commend one of your supervisors, Vanessa with EID: 71297.

I have always been a loyal customer of Estée Lauder and have recommended your products to many clients at my spa because of the trust I have in your brand.

esteelauder.comI love the advanced night repair serum, but noticed that when I looked at my concern areas technically this product in the Estee line up was considered a better fit (i.e. dark spots, tone, etc.). I read reviews too to ensure other sensitive faced users didn't have issues and felt like I didn't see issues. However, this does not give me skin the same bounce back I feel after the advanced night serum and my skin almost feels raw the next morning because of the sensitivity. Going back to my advanced night serum.

Not the same formula as before

esteelauder.com/They must have changed the formula for this product as I used it in the past with good results and the last bottle I bought gave me an allergic reaction. My eyes burned and my face starting itching 5-10 minutes after I put it on.
Bait and switch

esteelauder.comOriginal listing said duo of 1.7 oz bottles. They relisted it as 1.0 fl oz which you can see since I'm now the 'first' review. I used my 20% off promo and it seemed like a really good deal until I received the smaller bottles. Contacted customer service and they said the only thing they could do is return my item. I would lose my 20% off coupon. No offer for credit or discount for the trouble. You can even see in the receipt that they don't bother to list the size of the duo even though all the other products sizes are listed.Obviously they either deliberately or accidentally listed the incorrect size on webpage and relisted it. I also only received 2 samples instead of 3 even though I spent over $300. Take screenshots of the original listings!

Miss the former

esteelauder.comThis is runny and not as refining as the previous product you replaced. The former made my face feel smooth and had a wonderful texture. Miss the other and agree with others who wish you would bring back the other formula.
