NUDE Advanced Cellular Renewal Moisturiser Hurrah and hooray to the two winners of the NUDE Advanced Cellular Renewal Moisturiser, who are: Viktoria (Twitter @EternalLife_) and Yasminec9, both of whom should have received an email from me by now! If they haven’t, it means I have forgotten, so please do feel free to leave a comment to remind me! (Brain like sieve.)

I have been testing away with my own sample of the Advanced Cellular and can report that it is indeed very lovely. Rich but not greasy, it targets signs of ageing such as elasticity and fine lines, so it’s probably more suited to people in their late twenties onwards rather than younger skin – at £78 you don’t want to be slathering this on until you need to! I have been using it alongside the NUDE Serum and my skin has looked plump and fresh. I like having a matchy-matchy serum and moisturiser, but it’s not entirely necessary. There are benefits to using skincare from the same brand and range, though, and one of those, I think,  is that they have often been formulated specifically to work together. If you go off on a tangent, you may find yourself using a serum that counteracts the effects of the cream that you follow it with, or you might be giving your skin mixed signals. I suppose it all depends which products you mix and match with and how au fait you are with the various active ingredients.  Anyway, something to be said, there, in favour of matching serums! How do you feel about serums in general?

    I actually got two samples of the NUDE moisturiser and serum and I was going to start using it this week but I guess I’ll give it a miss now because I’m in my early 20′s! Btw I got hold of a sample of creme de la mer moisturiser and I’ve been trying it for two weeks! I’m going to write up a review on it soon but I wanted to know what you think of it, I saw you mentioned it in one of your Holiday/Christmas/expensive things video! xx

      @BaB oh it’s gorgeous though, so I’d totally use the samples!! C de la M cream is slightly too rich for my skin, but I have a full review coming soon from someone with suitable skin! xx

  • Sue

    I’m not sure layering stuff over a serum makes a lot of sense, and wonder if I’m wasting my pennies bothering? Am I diluting the serum’s effect, and how can a new layer have much effect on the skin, since it’s already slathered in serum? It doesn’t stop me appling a new layer of gunk, but I do wonder… anyway, if it was either/or, it would have to be serum, definitely. I do think, on balance, a serum is more efficacious, and possibly, depending on product, is fine on its own xxx

    • Ruth

      I must do some proper research into serums, actually. I understand how a lot of them work, but I’m sure that there are quite a few duds out there!

  • Becca

    Oh Ruth, please do include your U.S readers this time! I about DIED when I found out the Nude Skincare giveaway was open to UK only. Love Nude Skincare! And LOVE your blog!!

  • Daisy

    Ruth, there is also a gel version of the la Mer cream. It’s perfect for combination skin!:)

  • Ayax

    Hi Ruth. I actually decided that I’m going to use serum once I’ll turn 30, and that’s what I did. I started using the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum, but with a different cream..(JEANNE PIAUBERT- skin saver chrono-which is amazing, I have been using it for the past 7 years). Do you think they counteract each other? :(

    • Ruth

      @Ayax I was more thinking about things like, for example, soothing serums followed by a resurfacing/exfoliating moisturiser or vice versa, or people who might use two very strong products together. Equally, some creams after an exfoliating serum that needs to work at a certain pH might raise the overall pH to a point where the serum becomes ineffective.. I was speaking in quite general terms because I’m no scientist, so I wouldn’t be able to tell you about specific products, I’m afraid! It was more ‘thinking aloud’ about the general dilemma! What do EL suggest to use after ANR? I can’t remember… Must dig out my ANR, it’s good stuff if I remember rightly?! xx

  • Ayax

    Yes, it’s nice. I hope it’s doing something in preventing aging. After all, this is the reason of using serum in the first place, right? :)
