Nia Long's Skincare Secret: Advanced Night Repair Serum
Actress Nia Long has revealed her go-to product for achieving moisturized, glowing skin: Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Face Serum. She incorporates this iconic serum into her pre-makeup routine, finding it essential for preparing her skin for long hours on set.
“Beauty starts with confidence and honoring your authentic self,” stated Nia Long. When discussing her need to ensure makeup lasts and skin remains hydrated after extended periods on set, Nia's insights are highly valued. In a recent interview with The Cut, the Estée Lauder brand ambassador shared the one product that “kind of just works.”
Nia revealed her use of the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Face Serum, noting a unique application: “I know it says night repair but I actually use it during the day,” she shared. “I love this on set. I love this under my makeup. I love this under my Double Wear. And the reason is it creates a barrier between the skin and the makeup and it creates this hydration.”
The star further explained, “[Y]ou get to wear your makeup and foundation on all day. You don’t have to feel dry and you don’t feel like you have to like spray yourself down before you go from one meeting to the next, or one scene to the next.”
The Science Behind Advanced Night Repair
According to the brand, the Advanced Night Repair serum is formulated with key ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and peptides. These components work to deeply moisturize the skin and promote a firmer appearance.
The serum's effectiveness is further validated by its widespread acclaim. It has garnered over 4,600 5-star reviews on Amazon, with users praising its benefits:
- “My skin at this stage needs hydration, smoothness, and support for fine lines without feeling heavy or greasy. This serum absorbs beautifully and leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable almost immediately.”
- “The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy at all. With continued use, my skin looks more refreshed and radiant.”
- “I have been using for several years. [A] makeup consultant told me it was liquid gold and to use in the morning and at night-a little goes a long way.”
Another reviewer on Macy's described it as the "Best evening serum," noting, "I have been using this evening serum for years. One of the best. Leaves my skin smooth and reduces lines and wrinkles." Similarly, a long-time user shared, "[I] love using this serum. I've been using it for more than 20 years. My facial skin is smooth and wrinkle-free."
A fan highlighted its transformative effect under foundation: "I actually tried my foundation without this serum the first time, then did another application including this serum. I can honestly say it completely gives any foundation life! It truly transforms your skin into a glowy and youthful base to start with. Helps all products blend out seamlessly. It leaves your skin feeling moisturized for many days!"

Addressing Potential Skin Sensitivities
While the serum is widely praised, it's important to note that some users have reported sensitivities. One customer with sensitive skin experienced itching and red bumps after four days of use, suggesting it might not be suitable for everyone. Another user mentioned their face breaking out slightly after the first week, expressing a desire to continue trying it to see if it eventually works for them.
For individuals trying new skincare products, it is advisable to perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the product to your hand or wrist before applying it directly to your face to gauge your skin's reaction.
