A daily hit of the most stupendously brilliant things to land on the beauty desk. This is survival of the fittest

There's a certain feeling of smugness in owning, and using, a skincare product that really works. Like Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair, which women the world over go C-R-A-Z-Y for. And when that product that you hold so dearly gets a revamp? Well, it's like all your Christmases have come at once.

Which is exactly what's happened, friends. This familiar hero has been reformulated to be even bigger and better than before, not that you or I thought it possible. The younger and fitter little sister of the one we've all come to love now contains a potent algae and yeast blend which work in conjunction with our body's own catabolysis (a purification process of the skin which removes dead cells that have built up over time). Very, very clever.

What's more, the new formula has been tested, externally, on 1,000 women. 83% of them saw an improvement in their complexion in just six weeks. So the proof's in the pudding, and just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Estée Lauder have come along and proved us all wrong. Well, thank you.
