Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Energy Gel Emulsion

I have not had much experience with Estee Lauder, but was excited to try some more products - especially skin care products.

This product is a generous size, and will last a long time. A little goes a long way so I am sure I will still be using this product for a while longer.

The consistency of the gel is quite thick, so you don't need a lot. When I first started with this product I used too much and my skin felt a little weighed down. It has a nice citrus smell which helps in creating a luxurious experience when using this gel.

This gel has helped in hydrating my skin. However I have noticed some minor breakouts at an unusual rate. This could be related to this product, or could just be a coincidence. I would definitely recommend this product for someone with dry skin, as this heavy duty product with boost that soothing hydration.

I have been pleasantly surprised but wouldn't rush to purchase this myself.

The packaging for this product is quite nice, and you get a decent amount for the price. The texture is quite thick, but it applies so nicely to the skin. The scent is very fresh, and it definitely leaves the skin feeling hydrated.

I personally found that it made my makeup go very oily quite quickly after applying it, so I tended to just use it before bed and used a different moisturiser before makeup.

I definitely found an improvement in my skin after using this, and it really felt a lot more hydrated. It's a shame that it has been discontinued, as I would most definitely recommend this product.

I was really pleased to get to review the Nutritious Radiant Energy Water Gel Creme. My skin is dry so I'm always looking for ways to combat that.

The consistency, like the names says, is a combination of a cream and a gel, I really enjoy using this product, it instantly feels hydrating and feels like you're giving your skin a bit of a treat. After a big night out (and having to wash my face with motel shampoo) my skin was feeling tight and dehydrated, this instantly picked my skin up and made me feel alive again! It wears well underneath foundation, gives the skin a nice base and isnt greasy at all. The effects are quite long-lasting, I can apply this at night and not feel super dry in the morning.

The packaging is quite luxe looking as to be expected from Estee, the cream has a slight sort of citrus scent which I enjoyed and didnt find to be irritating at all either. It is priced a bit higher than what I would usually buy, and after 2 weeks I have used about a third of the product.

I think what I really loved the most about this product was that it looks exactly how it's described. Gel emulsion. It's super lightweight in terms of consistency - it truly does feel like what you'd imagine a gel emulsion to be. It smells so nice, like a faint, fruity, slightly artificial, fresh, pomegranate scent, but not the nauseating, overly-fake kind. And it sinks SO well into the skin! Once it dries down it's not sticky or goopy, your skin just feels smooth and hydrated.

The packaging itself is quite a sturdy plastic casing which looks deceptively like glass. I love how the lid is reflective and acts as a compact mirror, so if you're ever using this on the go and forget your hand mirror then this can double up as one. It's a screw-on lid which I don't particularly like, only because of the ease of access - I would rather have had it just pop off. Onto the inside, upon unscrewing the lid, you'll open to find a flat-top cover with a kind of tongue flap (HA). I actually really like this as it's definitely more hygienic and you can basically use the underside of the lid as a spatula.

In terms of what it proclaims to do, I'm not sure how much it detoxified my skin. Generally, my skin looked about the same after nearly 2 weeks of use, except sadly I did manage to get a smattering of closed comedones around the top of my brows and left temple, and random milia popping up especially around the sides of nostrils. Nothing hella major, but enough to be bummed about since my skin (using my usual skincare routine) is relatively acne-free. Other than those areas, the rest of my face stayed pretty much clear, and smooth - though I did notice my forehead get quite oily by the end of the day.

Overall, would I use it again? Yes. But I'd probably incorporate my other usual skincare products too. Would I go out to actually re-purchase this? It's a no from me. Only because it's ridiculously expensive, and there are plenty more products out there that are infinitely cheaper and effective.

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!
