Love Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum? Check Out These 6 Alternatives

We love The Body Shop for all their products. They're clean, vegan, come in 90% recycled packaging, and always get the job done. So no wonder their overnight serum also makes the list. The most obvious difference between ANR and the overnight serum is that the overnight serum comes with vitamin E—an active ingredient, which you don't find in ANR. However, it still claims to do similar things when it comes to hydration and adding plumpness to the skin. It makes the skin look fresher, more radiant, and rested, exactly like ANR. The biggest plus? It comes with a much lower price tag. 

When it comes to a drugstore alternative, we'd suggest the Lakme Radiance serum, which by its name itself claims to do what ANR promises (and delivers on). Retailing at a humble INR 299 for 15 ml, the Lakme radiance serum is great for uneven skin tone, boosting hydration and radiance, and helping the skin stay moisturised. It also comes with 99% niacinamide, which is perfect for folks with hyper dry and sensitive skin. 

Lancome is a high-end option, which we're suggesting only if Estee Lauder doesn't suit you, but you still love the formula. The Lancome genifique advanced youth serum is made after 15 years of research, which we think is pretty great. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, is packed with hyaluronic acid, and vitamin CG, which improves skin tone day by day. You can also add a drop or so in your foundation for a more dewy look, as well as add a drop or two on your lips for a plump, hydrated look. 

We're big fans of Nykaa's in-house products, including their serums, which come in 10 different variants, all catering to different kinds of skincare concerns. The closest, and budget-friendly alternative we found to ANR was the overnight potion that is infused with good things, such as renews skin cell renewal, tightens pores, and provides deep nourishment.  It is made with anti-oxidants like ANR and 100% natural botanical extracts while also being super lightweight. 

Infused with saffron, liquorice, and sandalwood, Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Thailam beauty fluid is literally a miraculous fluid packed into a bottle. It claims to aid with skin brightening, pigmentation and wrinkle removal in just four weeks! If you're someone who likes to use products that are natural and Ayurvedic in nature, then don't think twice before using this as an alternative. Though on the pricier side, this Instagram-famous product is worth every buck, while a little goes a long way. 

Personally, I am a huge fan of anything that COSRX does. Their snail range is spectacular and does exactly what it claims to do. Similarly, their hyaluronic acid 3 serum, is an alternative to ANR solely because Hyaluronic acid too is a major ingredient in ANR. In addition to that, The COSRX serum also helps with skin barrier, plumps, protects, and insures better skin texture. The texture is lightweight that easily absorbs into the skin, and also has ceramides that are perfect for dry, dull, and rough skin.
