Jenna Lyons has revealed the Estée Lauder skincare product she says has made her complexion look 'bouncier and firmer', and her candid bathroom review has put the luxury beauty launch firmly in the celebrity skincare spotlight.
The fashion entrepreneur and former Real Housewives of New York City star recently shared her enthusiasm for Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Recovery Treatment Essence, describing it as a new addition to her routine that she 'really loves'.
Lyons' endorsement is particularly notable because she already uses the brand's famous Advanced Night Repair Serum. Rather than replacing the cult product, she says the new essence is designed to work alongside it, making the combination an especially appealing proposition for beauty shoppers already invested in the range.
But beyond the celebrity seal of approval, what exactly is making the new essence such a talking point?
The Essence Made Her Skin 'Bouncier and Firmer'
Speaking from her bathroom in a video shared as part of her partnership with Estée Lauder, Lyons introduced the product with a typically playful approach.
'I recently partnered with Estée Lauder because they have a new product that I really love,' she said.
She admitted the product's full name, Advanced Night Repair Recovery Treatment Essence, is 'a mouthful', but quickly explained why she believes it is worth knowing about.
'This beauty has more than five hundred peptides,' Lyons said. 'And peptides are a real thing. They actually do work.'
The essence uses Estée Lauder's Bio Exosome Technology, which the brand describes as part of its approach to supporting the skin's appearance and resilience. Lyons explained the concept in much simpler terms, describing exosomes as containing 'little micro messengers' that give the skin precise direction to initiate cellular repair.
'I need someone to give my skin direction,' she joked.
The technology and ingredient list are central to the product's appeal. Estée Lauder says the formula contains more than 500 peptides, as well as hyaluronic acid and Tripeptide 32, with the essence designed to hydrate and support the appearance of firmer, more resilient skin.
However, the most striking result in Lyons' endorsement is her own description of the effect. She says the product has left her skin looking 'bouncier and firmer', giving shoppers a clear reason for her enthusiasm.
Why the Celebrity Skincare Buy Is Creating Buzz
The essence's biggest selling point may be that it is not positioned as an isolated new product. Lyons says she already relies on Advanced Night Repair Serum and believes adding the essence enhances that established step in her routine.
'What I love about this new product is that it makes the Advanced Night Repair serum, which I already use, and I'm sure a lot of you do, too, penetrate two point four times deeper,' she said.
'That's where we need it. We need it to get in there.'
The 2.4-times figure is an important part of the product's appeal, but it should be understood as a claim about the product rather than as evidence that every user will experience the same result.
That distinction matters as celebrity skincare becomes increasingly influential. Shoppers are not simply buying an essence; they are being sold a combination of luxury branding, high tech skincare language, familiar products and the personal testimony of a recognisable public figure.
The Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair name already carries considerable recognition, while the new essence adds buzzwords such as peptides and Bio Exosome Technology to the routine.
Lyons also created a sense of urgency around the launch, telling viewers that the product was initially available only through the Sephora app before becoming widely available the following day.
Ultimately, the attraction is a mixture of science-led marketing and celebrity recommendation, but Lyons' own verdict remains the simplest selling point.
For a beauty audience looking for hydrated, plumper-looking and firmer skin, she says she can 'really see the difference'. And that personal stamp of approval could be precisely what turns Estée Lauder's latest skincare launch from another luxury beauty product into the next celebrity-backed buy to watch.
