Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion

I would love to know what's in this product!

Before using this product I was struggling with redness and a bit of dehydration. Now, my skin looks smooth, fresh and hydrated!

I've worked this into my skin routine along with my usual products and I do definitely think I see better results. I would definitely still follow it up with a moisturiser as the lotion provides a great hydration boost, but needs something to lock it all in.

One thing I did find is that if you are using this over the top of your regular serums, you have to use quite a lot. I opted to pat the serum into my face instead of wipe it on with a cotton pad to not risk wiping off any of my regular serums underneath. This did mean I had to use quite a lot to get even coverage, and the process of patting it into your skin does take a long time.

The absorption could be better as I did find it sat on my skin for quite a while. It has a slight sticky feel once it's dried and does also make your skin appear quite shiny. This was helped by following up with a moisturiser but if you opt not to, I would definitely make sure you put some powder over the top as the shine is quite severe.

Overall, I have really liked the hydration this has given my skin and it feels a lot more balanced and less prone to sensitivity. However, because of the price and the slight issues with the finish I wouldn't repurchase.

My favourite thing about this product is hands down the scent! It smells fruity without being overpowering and just smelt luxurious and fresh.

I liked this product and have enjoyed using it over the past week and a half. It's made my skin feel hydrated and energised, and I really liked the product. I used it as well as the moisturiser from the duo and loved the way my skin felt after using both of these products!

A little complaint I have about this product is the packaging. It comes in a simple but stylish red bottle, which I love the look of, but I feel like with a pump or really anything else at the top I would've enjoyed it a lot better. It has a hole at the top, which I find makes the product go everywhere and makes it just annoying to apply.

Still really liked this and will continue to use it!

So I recieved this product as part of a trial team (and am incredibly lucky!!!) and had to admit I was a bit baffled by how to use it. This my show my naivety when it comes to high end products but I spent far too long googling before seeing an instruction that I believe was on the base of the bottle, advising to spread it with hands or cloth. Asides from my blunder I really liked the smell, it is understated and refreshing with a faint pomegranate scent, but without leaving me smelling like product. A little goes a fairly long way and I was really surprised by how fresh my skin felt afterwards. I even used some on the rough patches on my triceps and was super pleased about how soft it felt.

It absorbs fairly quickly and has actually made me feel so happy with the glowing look that I've practically gone without foundation for the last two weeks. I'm also less concerned about this being 'overly moisturising' and leaving me with oily skin.

The only downside for me is the price - I don't know if I can justify the price tag.

It's a toner. Why have they called it a lotion?!! I can't get over it. I think it twice a day when I use it.

This is a watery liquid. It smells as delicious as the moisture gel creme. So fresh and fruity - but if fragrances bother you, don't worry, the smell doesn't linger too long once applied.

I used this after cleansing, as I am set it is a toner. (!) The instructions on the bottle say 'apply am/pm with a cotton pad or fingertips'. You need a cotton pad - the product comes out so quickly if you try with finger tips you'll end up with spillage. Hold a cotton pad firmly a top the bottle, and quickly tip it upside down and back again. Voila.

I found this lovely and cooling, and it removed that tight after cleansing feeling. My skin was left feeling fresh and rejuvenating.

What I dislike about the product - the plastic bottle is cheapening, especially when we're talking about an $82 toner. And that. The $82 price tag.

So, much like the Moisture Cream from the same range - I would recommend it - it does what it says, and it does it well. But would I use it again? Maybe. If someone bought it for me as a present!

This is an Asian "lotion", not a Western lotion/moisturiser, more like a hydrating toner. I apply it to my face after cleansing using my hands. It has a light, watery texture and leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated. There is a very slight tacky residue that disappears quickly. It has a fresh, fruity, artificial pomegranate scent.

This product is good for preparing the skin to absorb further moisture and can be layered for more effect.

I wouldn't purchase it myself as it's very expensive.

Thanks BR for sending me this product to review!

This product smells absolutely delicious. If nothing else, I am in love with the scent. I have to admit I was a little bit confused when I first opened it. I haven't seen lotions in this kind of form before - the consistency is more of a cleansing water or toner - so I had to look it up to find out how to apply it.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and have been applying it on a cotton pad all over my face and neck. My impression is that it has given me a great moisturised base (that's not sticky like other lotions), which is great to put my makeup over. I feel as though it has given me a great fresh look and I will definitely keep using it because I often feel bogged down or dull when I use other products.
