Lancome vs Estee Lauder Serums

[MandyLoomy]

I'm trying to decide between the serums that Lancome and Estee Lauder for both an overall face serum plus a targeted eye serum that compliments the 1st. What I am looking for, overall, is a reduction in fine wrinkles under my eyes, the beginning of crows feet, some deeper forehead wrinkles, brightening of under my eyes, pore reduction and plumper skin...whew, that was a lot. I'm leaning towards the Lancome HCF Serum then adding, when I can afford it, the genefique eye repair. But I do have oily skin, so if lancome dries me out, my skin will overproduce even more oil to compensate. Any suggestions for just a straight brightening serum to use in the morning would be helpful as well. Thanks! oh, and don't get me started on when to use each and in what order lol

Have tried many brands, but always keep the Estee Lauder "Advanced Night Repair" in full stock.  Nothing like the Night Repair serum.  The serum has really helped me through the years!

I can only speak for the Estee Lauder products. But I always keep both EL's Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi Recovery Complex and the Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix Synchronized Multi Recovery Complex on hand. I've been using both for years. I also use varying other products, including RX Tazorac for acne, scars & sun damage. & SPF everyday. 

But I love these 2 EL products bc of their consistency & performance. Plus, they go on sale fairly regularly at either sephora, ulta or Macy's and I have even found sealed bottles @ Marshalls/TJ Maxx. 

I have oily-combo, mature, sensitive skin & love how these formulas are light yet provide some hydration, absorb quickly sans sticky residue & play well with other brands. 

In summer, I will use these on their own before bed, but in winter, I apply a hydrating serum 1st, then a light moisturizer after to seal everything in.

For an event, I make sure to avoid junk food, drink plenty of h20, apply these 2 serums, then sleep at least 8hrs & i wake up plump & radiant the next day!
