Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Energy Gel Emulsion

To start off, my skin is relatively (imo) normal and only really occasionally has the dry patch or two. So, those two patches are my current pests. I'm happy to say that after using this for two weeks in conjunction with the Lotion Fresh Moist, it has actually disappeared! I have also noticed that my skin POSSIBLY may be more 'bouncy' and soft (especially right after application!!) from using this (and the lotion) morning and night for the past two weeks... I really enjoyed using this! I loved the light water gel creme texture of this product. Prior to this, I preferred using another similar product that was also similar in consistency. I was actually afraid that I'd have trouble writing the review but... truthfully, I loved everything about it! Although I can only really confidently tell you that it definitely does one of the three claims, I did also love the super fruity scent, texture and the pretty quick absorption. If you were only using the water gel creme, you'd probably be ok and don't have to wait probably half a minute before using the next step. That was probably the only concern, although I thought it was something they said (fast absorping) but, actually no so, just something to be aware of. The product is easy to use and smells amazing. I loved it. this product may not be suitable for people who don't enjoy heavy scents in their skincare. Although, I found the scent to be light but at the same time it is most definitely there when applying the product.

I use this product as a night mask - very light on the skin but very moisturising; my face feels smoother and soft the following morning. I have not experienced skin breakouts upon using the product. I noticed my face looked youthful and glowing upon using this product for a few days. I wish the packaging came with a mini scoop for hygienic purposes but overall this product is amazing and I highly recommend it.

This gorgeous pomegranate cream leaves a plumping revitalised look once used.

The consistency is souflet like that melts away into the skin. The packaging is gorgeous and very generous in size.

Most likely apealing to younger women who like a dewy and glowy natural look.

Has a high end feel with a high end price. At around $112 per jar. Sold at most high end beauty department stores.

I do however love this product on my skin!!

This was a really nice moisturiser, which I used as a day cream. The consistency is what you would expect from a moisturiser that isn’t too thick, but thick enough to be easy to apply and have a good amount of substance to it. I have very oily-combination skin, so I’m always nervous when using new moisturisers, however I found this hydrating throughout the day and that it was quite effective at keeping my oiliness at bay. I haven’t had the chance to see long-term effects yet, however I find that on days when I use this product my skin is more hydrated and looks more radiant. It has a very slight (but pleasant) pomegranate scent which is really nice and not at all overpowering. The jar format probably isn’t my favourite for a daily moisturiser, and the packaging is quite large and takes up quite a lot of counter space, so while its quite pretty I would probably prefer a tube or pump packaging. Apart from my small packaging niggle, I really enjoy this moisturiser and would definitely recommend!

This definately delivers on the hydration, I have been using for nearly two weeks now every second day and my skin has been feeling well hydrated and looks plumper after using this gel creme. I do like it however one thing I really do not like is the sticky/tacky feeling it leaves on my face! Fortunately this seems to soak in and go away with time and an hour or two later it isn't too bad. The packaging is so nice! Love that. Nice fragrance and a little will go a long way. It definately made my skin look fresh and glowing after applying which I liked but I had to stop using it twice a day as it states AM/PM as I did have a mild reaction to this where it made my skin feel abit hot/burning after using. I cannot use it every day for this reason so would steer clear of this if you have any skin sensitivity issues.

This is a thick yet lightweight moisturiser. It doesn't feel really heavy and it absorbs into your skin nicely. It's not the best to wear underneath makeup though because it kind of balls up when you try use a sponge over top. Either I need to let it absorb into my skin for longer (I don't really have time for that in the morning) or I should use something other than a sponge (I prefer sponges and don't really want to change my makeup routine however). If you dont wear makeup it would be okay though, but I'll probably just wear it at night and use a different moisturiser in the morning, as it does hydrate my oily skin nicely. It does have a very nice smell, not overpowering at all. I guess a pomegranate scent?? The jar it comes in is really nice though, and the lid is weighted and not cheap feeling at all. I think the product is definitely refreshing and does give a slight energising feeling for sure! I have oily skin that is also dehydrated and I get break outs. The product didn't break me out, it didnt make my skin any oilier than other products but it didn't make it less oily either. I will get my mum to try it next, as it might be more appropriate for more mature skin. The price is over $100 on farmers so for my skin type I would not buy it again, but I imagine for people with dry and dull skin it would be an absolute lifesaver!

My skin is generally awful. It breaks out at the mere whiff of a scented product and don't get me started on "heavy" products.

I was naturally quite hesitant to try these products, but I was pleasantly surprised. They both smell amazing, the pomegranate smells delicious, without being overpowering, in both the lotion and the moisturiser.

The moisturiser was quite thick and heavy, but you can definitely feel the gel aspect. It didn't clog any pores at all which I was worried about and went on smoothly. A little bit goes a long way with the moisturiser and especially in conjunction with the lotion, you can get away with only using a small blob about the size of ten cents. It is very fresh and you can almost feel the moisture it is bringing to your face.

Because the moisturiser is so thick, I only used at night before bed and that worked really well for me. The next day I face was fresher and less oily during the day so it is a win.

The packaging is very elegant and nice and bright which I like. The moisturiser noticeably brightened my face, and I love the idea of giving my face a nutritious blast of energy!

Using these products made me feel really special and pampered, like I was using fancy products from a spa, so I would definitely purchase again given the chance.

Just as a bit of background on my skin type, I vary between normal/combination/oily depending on a number of factors. I'm 25 years old, but still prone to the occasional breakout. This product is meant to offer lightweight hydration which sounds ideal for someone with my skin type, as anything too rich could make my skin feel super oily.

I was a bit confused prior to receiving this product because I wasn't sure what it actually was! Turns out this "Nutritious Radiant Energy Gel Emulsion" is just a fancy way of saying lightweight moisturiser that can be used morning and night. Straight out of the postage bag, I loved the packaging. It's a heavy feeling red plastic pot with a silver lid that certainly looks expensive. And it should look expensive since it's $112 for 50mls of this product!

Now on to the actual product… The first thing I noticed when I took off the lid is the smell. I can’t think of anything to compare the scent to, but it definitely smells luxurious. The consistency of the moisturiser is lightweight yet creamy at the same time. When I rubbed it into my face I found I needed to be quite generous with how much I applied, otherwise it wouldn’t spread to all the places I wanted it to go. It did absorb quickly into the skin and didn’t leave any residue behind. My skin looked like it had a slight glow/sheen to it after I was done. It also felt perfectly moisturised all day and I wasn’t left feeling too oily or heavy. I didn’t experience any breakouts because of this product, in fact if anything I’ve had less breakouts since using it.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed using this product and I’ve liked the effect it’s had on my skin, however I still find it difficult to recommend it for two reasons. Firstly, it costs $112 per pot which is a bit pricey to recommend to a lot of my friends and family who wouldn’t normally spend that much on skincare. And secondly, I’ve been using this product for about three weeks and I’ve used up around half the pot with twice daily use. If I continue this trend, the pot will likely be empty in another six weeks. This may mean if you buy and like this product you’d have to fork out $112 every six weeks to continue using it.

So if you have oily/combination skin, you’re looking for a lightweight/absorbent moisturiser, and price is of no concern to you, I would certainly recommend giving this product a try. Personally I probably won’t buy this again, as although I found it to be good, I can’t justify spending that amount of money on a moisturiser at this point in my life.

I was very lucky to be picked by BR to review this product. Boy was i one happy girl when this arrived.. This is the first high end skin care i have ever tried and it didn't disappoint. The packaging is very simple, red tub with silver writing and lid. On the back of the bottle it tells you to " Apply AM and PM". I always washed my makeup off then applied the lotion first then this creme. This defiantly kept my skin hydrated, its quite a thick consistency. This left my face looking like it had a glow if i didn't wear foundation. My skin in winter can get really flaky and dry, i found this creme and the lotion really helped and my foundation went on smoother because of it! If you have dry skin i highly recommend buying this.
