I have been using this every day since I got back from San Diego and before then I've used it on and off as well. I'm loving it!

First of all I must thank Pudoodles for recommending this to me in the first place as a good serum to make you look human in the morning after little sleep. Sadly, I've had those exact problems the last week as I dealt with jetlag and also catching up on work and EDS. When I got back I remembered about this little bottle and what Pudoodles said and I have been using it since then.

As I said, I have actually used this before in the mornings and thought it was quite good but nothing exceptional. It's not until I was really run down and my skin was showing it that using this serum really showed how good a product it really is - particularly around the eye area. The bottle is quite small (15ml) but you only need a little bit and, let's face it, you won't be using it everyday, just when you need it. It does seem to make my skin more radiant and rested in the mornings. It really does help with the undereye area as well. I didn't have bad dark circles this week (surprisingly) but the whole eye area was just looking very dull - almost grey and deflated, with veins more prominent that usually. The recovery concentrate certainly has helped to make the area look more alive.

As far as texture goes, this is a clear gel with a slight yellowy tinge to it. I only need one pump to do my whole face and it sinks in pretty much straight away. Apart from making my skin feel smoother, I don't feel anything else on the skin - it bascially disappears.

The only downside to this is that I've been complaining to people at work about how tired and run-down I feel and they just look at me and tell me that I must be exaggerating because I look really radiant and healthy Bad Grin

I have also started using BeneFit HighBeam again and also a new blush so that will also play a part in their comments I guess, but I am impressed with the Orlane serum. When I use this up my next Orlane purchase (I have always liked Orlane products....) will be the Anti-Fatigue Skin Recovery Serum. I would really like to see how the two compare. The Anti-Fatigue Skin Recovery Serum gets great reviews plus one of my friends, who has issues with spending $$ on skincare, continues to buy this. This is the only pricy product she buys and that has to say something! Razz

Yay, Mabsy! I am *so* glad you like it! I just love that I can throw it in my purse and if I am extra tired and have to spend the evening out, I can mix a bit with my foundation to help give my skin a boost! I am *so* with you re: the effect on the eye area..this stuff is just great for instant revitalization of that area...and it sure is a great jet-lag repair treatment! I've never tried the Anti-Fatigue recovery serum...I'll have to give that a try....Again, I'm so glad you liked it, Mabsy! Very Happy

Pudoodles - I'm having a bit of a problem weaning myself off this. My skin is looking really good at the moment and I think I might just continue to use this until I use it up Embarassed

I'll let you know how the Anti-Fatigue recovery serum is once I try it Wink

Sorry to revive an old thread but I was wondering if this product is still around? Has there been a name change? There is something called Anagenese 25+ Morning Recovery Concentrate, is that the same formulation?
