Hi!
Recently I received a sample of the Estee Lauder cream complimentary after buying their foundation. The product itself is alright, but it didn’t wow me.
1) Price: It’s exorbitant! You’ll have to fork out $90 for 1.7 oz.
2) Packaging: such a dull package.
I have to dip into the jar with my fingers, which is unsanitary and non-tight.
All beneficial ingredients will become worthless in about 30 days.
3) The texture is thick and oily.
Moreover, I won’t say that it goes far.
4) The smell is nice and spring-like. It reminds me of lilac flowers.
However, I don’t appreciate fragrances in creams, so it’s a pass for me here too.
5) The feel: My skin feels alright when I have it on. The cream doesn’t crease or leave any oily film as opposed to the Estee Lauder DayWear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme SPF 15.
But it clogs the pores on my nose a little bit.
I have particularly sensitive skin to oily and greasy creams, so it doesn’t really suit me. Also, it’s too heavy for summer, because my skin sweats with it.
6) SPF 15 is nothing. It won’t protect you from the sun rays in summer.
Plus, this cream is not suitable for night use due to SPF. By the way, I applied it overnight for experiment sake. In the morning I woke up with heavy breakouts.
So, be ready to shell out another $90 for a night cream to add up to your daily skincare regimen!
7) Ingredients:

There is a plethora of natural surfactants and emulsifying agents that probably ensure this lifting effect.
There are also a few moisturizers, antioxidants and Algae Extracts.
It also has a few fragrances, but there is nothing really harmful in the list.
The ingredients are fine, but they are not worth $90 for sure.
You can find the same mixture of alcohols, antioxidants, polymers and glycerine in, for instance, Andalou or Clinique creams as well.
The Claims:
Now you can have it all: the lifted look, the firmer feeling and the radiance that reflects how beautiful you are.
Resilience Lift for day is powered by our exclusive Photo-Activated Lift Complex. Immediately, skin looks more radiantly alive. As you use it, facial contours appear more sculpted and defined. Lines and wrinkles look more smoothed out and lifted away. You'll see a remarkably younger, revitalized look.
The Normal/Combination skin creme is silky, refreshing. The Dry Skin cream is richly nourishing.
Use it with Resilience Lift Night for a 24-hour lift system.
Sounds too good to be true, right?
Cons:
Too thick and greasy formula that gives an uncomfortable oily film on my skin
SPF is nothing
The packaging is unsanitary and the product expires too quickly
Clogs my pores a little bit
Suitable for day only
Breaks the budget
Pros:
Therefore I give it only 3 stars and don’t recommend it. You better drop this money on a new pair of shoes 
Thank you guys for reading my review.
