Estēe Lauder Anti-Aging Wake Up Balm VS Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer By Victoria Beckham

Revitalizing Supreme+

Global Anti-Aging Wake Up Balm

I am all about glow, radiance, brightening, firming, toning, and anti-aging in my skincare. So if one product claims to have it all, it's my kind of product!


I mostly use it in the mornings, because it instantly wakes my skin up, but it can be used PM as well.


There is some robust science behind this balm, according to Estee Lauder, the balm includes plant stem cell extract and exclusive RevitaKey™ Technology—with radiance-boosting optics.

Truth be told, this balm significantly improves skin's visible firmness, density, and elasticity, and dramatically reduces the look of lines and wrinkles.

It just makes the skin glow, no highlighter needed. I personally love this effect, like a really great, intense workout that gave me that healthy glow.

The balm is perfect if your skin needs a boost if it lacks moisture, tone, radiance. It will «fill all the gaps.»



Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer By Victoria Beckham Beauty


Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer was developed with Professor Augustinus Bader's patented TFC8® technology, combined with moisturizing agents and nutrient-rich microalgae extract.


It's a rich, but not a too rich moisturizer. It's perfect for priming, as it soaks right into the skin, leaving a beautiful subtle glow behind.

I feel like it evened up the tone, smoothed, softened, and hydrated my skin. I can definitely see more radiance.


It contains all clean ingredients like Micro Algae Extract, Black Tea Ferment, Optical Powders.

I was very impressed by the packaging, I worked in a printing business for a bit, and I can tell that VB did a fantastic job, even the instruction flyer feels and looks luxurious.


I can't say much about the anti-aging effect, as I am using Estēe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum day and night.


But overall, I liked the product, I feel like it's working well for me, and it gives me so much glow and radiance, that I haven't used By Terry CC serum once in the past 3 weeks. It comes in two sizes 30 ml and 50 ml.


I've been using both products for a little over five months, and these are my thoughts if I have to compare them:



Both products are very similar, they will hydrate your skin and make it glow.

Estee Lauder Wake-up Balm is a hydrating balm, it's great for summer, it's lightweight, it absorbs fast, it makes your skin radiant, and makes you glow without a highlighter. Maybe if you are in your mid-20s, you might feel like it plumps up your skin, but unfortunately, I haven't experienced that.


VB's Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer, the consistency is richer than the Balm from EL. VB packaging is out of this world, it is more luxurious, for sure.


It made my skin softer, more hydrated, and more radiant. I still can't really comment on any anti-aging effect, because I can't really feel anything but hydration and radiance.

The only big minus is that I can't layer any other products if I use VB priming moisturizer.

I can't use any serum underneath or SPF on top; if I mix it with any other product, it will just peel off. (see the pic)


I have read tons of reviews, and no one mentioned that before, so apparently, it's just me. I can't use it now, as the sun is so bright that I won't dare to leave the house without SPF. I tried to wait 15-20 minutes before layering SPF, but it didn't help. So, I am saving it for colder months.
