I originally wanted the regular ANR but got the concentrate by accident. But I am SO GLAD that I got this instead. (I did end up getting the regular ANR as well but that's another review ^-^) This has replaced my prescription (Desonide) cream. I don't know what's in there and how it works, but it calms my easily irritated skin better than my RX.
How you're supposed to use this: Use it for 3 weeks (21 days) and then stop and use your regular serum. It's meant to be an "emergency" treatment. But you know what? I use it more than 21 days and it seems to be fine.
Packaging: Opaque plastic with a droplet for dispensing products.
Texture: Milky in color and very light. It absorbs really fast into the skin. Not sticky but I think most serums are like this.
Fragrance: It smells like acid. Reminds me of chemistry class. lol
Effectiveness: For some reason, it helps with calming down irritations despite the acidic smell. I use a water base moisturizer afterwards because it does have a tendency to dry out my skin if use on its own. I also slap on toner just for kicks. In terms of hydration...I don't see my skin looking any plumper but the fact that it replaces my Desonide cream, I will always buy this.
Price: $93 CAD for 1 oz. Disgusting isn't it? If you're hesitant between this and the regular ANR, buy this. It's much better. I have the regular ANR and it just doesn't work as well.

I've gotta give Estee Lauder skin care a try. I always hear raves about it!
You really should! I've always think of grandma when I see the brand but now I'm in love with their skin care range :)
