I have recently really been getting into my facial oils and serums for night time , I feel they are more effective than the average night cream and I can see them doing their job, which for me is very important. I am currently using three for different things for different purposes, so I thought a brief description of each and how they help me would be useful.
Firstly we have the iconic Advanced night repair from Estee lauder. I purchased the small size off ebay to give this a try as it had been so highly reviewed. I recommend getting a sample to try or doing what I did and get a small size on ebay to make sure it works for you before you splurge on the full size .
They claim "Skin looks smoother, younger, more radiant and healthy.
Exclusive Chronolux™ Technology helps reduce the appearance of past damage. Visible
signs of ageing look improved-specifically lines, uneven skintone and immediate hydration."
As I am 19 I don't worry to much about anti aging properties in my skincare just yet, but for me this product is a great all rounder after a night out and I want to get into bed quickly and not have to worry about layers upon layers of skin care I will just pop this onto a clean face. In the morning I know my skin will look repaired and a bit more hydrated as well as reduce the risk of developing any blemishes. This product doesn't offer me much moisture so in the winter months I would use alongside a moisturizer at night.
I don't notice that it dramatically improves my skin tone as I do have acne scars/ red marks from where spots have been, this is my main skin concern at the moment. I think with continued use over time it would help in the long run.
Overall a lovely serum but probably better suited to a different skin type and different needs.

Next is Trilogy's Rosehip oil, this little beauty I purchased of feelunique for £14.85. I bought this as I herd it was brilliant for acne scars and helping to fade them.
"Trilogy Rosehip oils powerful blend naturally contains nutrients your skin needs to achieve and maintain optimum health including 80% essential fatty acids (oleic, linoleic and linolenic), vitamin E and the antioxidant lycopene, all well known for their ability to promote skin repair and rejuvenation of skin cells."
Not only scars but stretch marks and wrinkles. I have to say once I have used this I can definitely see a difference in my skin in the morning, it looks bright , refreshed and red marks seem to have faded. Over time they have began to fade and my skin tone is getting clearer.
I have also been using this on an old piercing hole which is sealed up now and all i'm left with is a red dot so this has been helping reduce the redness and make it look as if it was never pierced , yay !
This serum is a lot more moisturizing than the advanced night repair and it works well for my oily combination skin, it just leaves me feeling soft and smooth in the morning.
The only thing that isn't too appealing about this product is the smell I know it may put some people off the product but to me I can get over it as it does such a wonderful job.
-----------------------------
Finally the Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate was the first facial oil I purchased and one of the best , I am certainly going to repurchase when this little roller ball costing me £20.00 runs out.
"The intense, aromatic blend of 100% pure plant oils in this rich, rebalancing night-time treat is suitable for all skin types. It helps to soften dry or mature skin and balance combination or oily skin."
I love the roller ball to distribute it evenly across your face it ensures all the product gets absorbed into your face rather than the palms of your hand where I usually apply the product onto in order to massage onto my face.
This oil gives me refreshed , rejuvenated skin in the morning it just looks a lot brighter and healthier and helps smooth out dry patches around my nose. This is another one I like to apply after a night out as I know I will look fresher in the morning after applying this , it just gives you an inner radiance.
I absolutely love every single Liz Earle product I've tried and this is just the same, the effect it has on my skin and the smell is amazing and well worth a try.
