  • Long-wearing foundation performance
  • Transformative anti-aging serum results
  • Elegant, polished product finishes
  • Hydrating, comforting moisturizers
  • Occasionally heavy cream textures
  • Fragrance intensity divides users

  • Outdated, polarizing brand image

Estée Lauder earns strong reviews for performance, with Double Wear foundation praised for long-lasting, natural-looking coverage and Advanced Night Repair delivering smoother, more hydrated skin; however, several reviews cite heavy or thick textures in certain creams and concerns about animal testing and dated image. Overall, the brand works—especially for makeup longevity and anti‑aging benefits—while fragrance reformulations and occasional heaviness hold it back.

  • The first time I put on this serum I noticed how smooth it went on. Once I applied it there was no visible film left behind. It had a fresh light scent. And applying a little went a long way. It had full coverage.

  • Estée Lauder is a well-established brand known for its high-quality skincare and makeup products. The brand consistently delivers reliable performance, combining elegant packaging with effective formulas. Many of its products are long-lasting and suitable for different skin types, offering both coverage and comfort. The textures feel luxurious, and the finishes are usually natural yet polished. While the price point is on the higher side, the quality often justifies the investment. From foundations to serums, Estée Lauder maintains a strong reputation for innovation and consistency. Overall, it is a trusted choice for those seeking dependable and refined beauty products.

  • This Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation is truly impressive and lives up to its name. It provides excellent coverage that evens out skin tone while still looking natural and smooth. The formula feels lightweight on the skin, yet it effectively hides imperfections and lasts all day without needing frequent touch-ups. It holds up well even in heat and humidity, making it a reliable choice for long days or special occasions. The finish is matte but not dry, which works perfectly for combination or oily skin. Overall, it’s a dependable foundation that delivers consistent, high-quality results every time.

  • I’ve been wearing the AERIN Wisteria Eau de Parfum for a few days, and it’s quickly becoming a favorite. Blooming wisteria scent is very dominant and strong, it is paired nicely with notes of sweet honeysuckle and soft musk. It reminds me of blooming gardens, and I love how elegant it feels. I usually spritz it in the morning, and the scent lingers for hours. It’s the kind of fragrance that feels perfect for spring and summer- bright, feminine, and uplifting.

  • Estée Lauder is one of those brands that consistently delivers for me. It feels classic, polished, and dependable in a way that not many brands do anymore. Their Double Wear foundation is my forever go-to. I’ve tested countless foundations, and I always circle back to it. The staying power is unmatched, the coverage is reliable, and it makes me feel confident knowing my makeup will look the same at the end of the day as it did when I applied it. That kind of consistency is rare. Beyond foundation, the brand as a whole feels elevated and thoughtfully formulated. The packaging is timeless, the performance is dependable, and the products feel designed for real life, long days, events, and everything in between. For me, Estée Lauder represents quality and longevity. It’s a brand I trust and one I keep repurchasing.

  • Estee Lauder has really damaged the perfume industry. They are notorious for purchasing other companies and then ruining the brand after the buyout. They have ruined the Kilian perfume. They have deleted great fragrances, and watered down others. They have corporatized women's perfume and ruined the industry. Awful.

  • I went to an event featuring Estée Lauder as a sponsor. I received a sample of their night cream and honestly it was a hard no for me. It was formulated for mature skin and I’m more acne prone. The moisturizer was too thick and fragranced for my skin. I ended up just using it as a hand cream until the sample was done.

  • I’m not a big fan of vanilla scents to be honest because I usually find them super overpowering and overwhelming but this perfume has a very nice and subtle sweetness to it. It gives off very nice toasty vibe that really feels like summer or a beach day. I was pleased surprised with this fragrance and also at how long lasting it is. It doesn’t feel overly sweet and I would describe it as a fresh scent with a warm, summery subtle sweetness. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a warm, sweet scent that doesn’t overwhelm your senses!

  • I’m all about texture when it comes to skincare and I love this smooth gel cream. It absorbs really well, and leaves a silky finish. The delicate skin under my eyes are instantly refreshed and hydrated. I’m not sure that this product made much difference in my dark circles, but it did make my eyes look less tired.

  • The Advanced Night Repair Eye Lift and Sculpt is a great eye serum for those with undereye circles, bags, and fine lines/wrinkles around the eye area. It is also hydrating so you don't need to add a cream after.

  • This eye cream is rich and nourishing — great for dry under-eyes, especially overnight. I noticed some firmness and brightness over time, but it may be too heavy for oily skin or those who prefer lightweight textures. There are more affordable alternatives that give similar hydration and smoothing effects.

  • I wake up with plump, smoother skin every time I use this serum. It absorbs quickly and feels lightweight, not sticky at all. Over time, I noticed my skin tone looked more even and refreshed. 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

  • Lovely brand with extremely high quality products! I love everything from them and I have a great bit of skincare! My entire nighttime routine is Estée Lauder, and my skin feels so good and soft! Never greasy or blemished!

  • I have super dry skin that often feels tight, flaky, and uncomfortable. I’ve tried so many creams from different brands, but nothing ever gave me lasting results. This Estée Lauder cream is the only one that truly works for me. It feels rich but not heavy, and my skin drinks it in quickly. After using it daily, my face stays soft, smooth, and comfortable all day long—no more dry patches or irritation. I also love that it doesn’t clog pores or feel greasy. If you struggle with very dry skin, this cream is absolutely worth trying. It’s been a lifesaver.

  • I've been using the Estée Lauder Micro Essence and Revitalizing Cream for the past few months. The Micro Essence is a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum that instantly hydrates my skin. It contains a blend of botanical extracts that help to strengthen the skin's barrier and improve radiance. The Revitalizing Cream is the perfect companion, providing deep, long-lasting moisture. It leaves my skin feeling soft, supple, and rejuvenated. However, one con is that the Revitalizing Cream can sometimes feel quite thick and sticky, especially during warmer weather. It does require a bit more effort to blend in compared to lighter moisturizers. Overall, I still recommend this dynamic duo from Estée Lauder for anyone looking to revitalize and revive their skin

  • I use the Estée Lauder advanced night repair serum. It is a well known product and very popular and I can see why! I’m about to run out of it :( it’s a lovely serum to put on as part of your night time routine. It’s soothing, hydrating and plumping. 100% recommend, I love this product

  • Their iconic double wear foundation is in my professional makeup kit. The staying power of that is crazy. Some clients who use double wear are impossible to persuade to go to something different. In the times of dewy foundations and sheer glass skin this opaque and matte foundation still has its cult following. Skin care products are just ok I guess. I tried a few but I prefer the makeup line here. I had some lipsticks which I really liked. Mascara was also good.

  • I'm testing at the moment all these products I've bought, and I have to admit that my skin had a beautiful glow up! it's softer, smoother, there are less red spots. Great.

  • I love this anti-aging cream. It feels hydrating on the skin. I use it on my face, neck, and chest every morning and night. Totally worth the price!
