Formulation Deep Dive

Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex is engineered as a high-performance water-based repair serum designed to optimize nocturnal skin renewal. The carrier system utilizes a complex blend of humectants, including methyl gluceth-20, glycereth-26, and propanediol, alongside bifida ferment lysate to support barrier resilience and deep hydration. The active performance is driven by a synergistic combination of tripeptide-32 for cellular synchronization, sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) for multi-level moisture retention, and adansonia digitata seed extract (baobab seed) to provide antioxidant support. The formula is stabilized with a carbomer and xanthan gum network and utilizes a robust preservation system featuring phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, and disodium EDTA to ensure long-term microbial integrity.
