Is the Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Borabit Ampoule a dupe for the other night repair serum?

There are many pretenders to the throne, but for me, there is only one Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum. It is now eye-wateringly expensive, and it receives mixed reviews, but I am one who is still loyal to it after all this years. Naturally therefore, when I came across rumblings of a possible more affordable Estee Lauder ANR “dupe”, I was interested.

But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to plonk down the cash for it, since it was something like RM80 or so. So, I asked the sales assistant for a sample to try and she very generously gave me samples of 3 different products – sneaky woman! 😛
