Advanced Night Repair Fun Facts.

Since mentioning the launch of Estee Lauder's latest addition to their Advanced Night Repair line up with the Synchronized Recovery Complex, I have had a lot of questions.

In searching for many of the answers I did not have on my own, Estee Lauder helped me answer them all. Thank you to EL! While sending over some answers, they also sent me some great fun facts about this product, which makes the evolution of the entire line and the little brown bottle even more fascinating to me. 

This world-renowned and highly coveted little brown bottle of Advanced Night Repair (ANR) is a
product that can boast many firsts:

  • FIRST REPAIR PRODUCT:

The launch of Night Repair created the night time "Repair" skin care category in 1982. The original patent was purchased for $10.

  • FIRST SERUM CREATED:

A light-weight product such as this "serum" was not typical for its time.

  • FIRST TO USE A BROWN BOTTLE:

The bottle was designed to look similar to the shape of old-fashioned pharmacy bottles to reinforce the product's serious skin care sentiment. The brown bottle coloring was used to help protect ingredients from light.

  • FIRST TO USE HYALURONIC ACID:

Mrs. Estée Lauder was a pioneer with the use of this ingredient. The Estée Lauder brand was the first to discover the ingredient's benefits and was also the only beauty company that could afford to purchase it at that time.

More Fun Facts:

In one year, Estée Lauder sold 1,629,199 bottles of ANR serum globally. This equals approximately:

  • 4,464 bottles per day
  • 186 bottles per hour
  • 3 bottles per minute

Someone, somewhere around the world is always buying one of the Advanced Night Repair line of
products. If sales of Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Eye Recovery Complex, Advanced Night
Repair Concentrate Recovery Boosting Treatment, and Advanced Night Repair Whitening Recovery
Complex are added to the number of bottles of ANR serum sold each year, the total number of ANR
products sold each year climbs to a massive 3,006,095 million products!

This equals approximately:

  • 8,236 bottles per day
  • 343 bottles per hour
  • 5.7 bottles every minute!

How fun! Make you want to buy now even more, doesn't it?

AmorePacific Moisture Bound Tinted Moisturizer.

Do you lighten up your makeup routine in the warm weather months? I do. I know I have mentioned it before and how I need to move from a full on foundation makeup to using a tinted moisturizer for the summer. Often though, I still find that I need to layer on the Tinted Moisturizer over my regular daily moisturizer. This is not the point, right? I have found a few Tinted Moisturizers that can stand alone and hold up to my skins' hydration needs. Though, I do not think any have worked quite as well as this new one from AmorePacific has done.

You see, AmorePacific is first and foremost a skin care company. Being so, I would say this Moisture Bound Tinted Moisturizer is more of a light-weight but heavy hydrating moisturizer, with a tint to it. Just what I have been looking for.

The formula is unique, yes. It hydrates the skin, protects it from the sun with an SPF of 15, it improves the health of skin, and it also provides a beautiful sheer color to the skin - in an instant. It is oil-free and contains moisture-rich bamboo sap along with 6 year old Korean Red Ginseng that work hard to make skin look as fabulous as it can beneath the tint.

There are just four shades to select from, and my pale yet faux-tanned skin has been using Deep, believe it or not. I err to say that all of the colors apply much lighter than they appear to be. When ordering, I suggest ordering a shade darker than you think you need.

I really think that once you try Moisture Bound Tinted Moisturizer, it will change the way you feel about the ordinary run of Tinted Moisturizers on the market today. This is available right now only at Neiman Marcus for $70. It is pricey, but well worth it for very dry and thirsty skin.

This is Estee's most advanced formula yet.
