Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Review - Four weeks of use; Vichy NormaDerm

I have been wanting to try the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair for over a year, since I heard another blogger rave about how amazing a product it is.  I resisted purchasing it only because I don't often get around Lauder counters, but I wandered into the bay a few weeks ago and decided that was my  sign that it was time to give it a try.  I've now been using it for four weeks, and here's my review of the first four weeks.
Initially, for the first week or so, I didn't notice much of anything, despite the fact that I believe they see you'll see a difference right away.  Perhaps I just take a little longer to ripen.  After two weeks, I started to notice some great changes in my skin's texture.  My pores SERIOUSLY look smaller, no word of a lie.  There's only one problem: I'm also using these two products as part of my new routine.

Vichy Normaderm Triactiv Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care and NormalDerm Nuit Chrono-Active Anti-Imperfection Care.
I started using all of the products right around the same time, so who knows which one is responsible for what?  Or could it be the zinc I've been taking?  I'm no scientist, determining correlation and causality, all I know is that if something's working, I gonna keep doing it.  And this is working.  My forehead and the centre of my face look so much less congested, more radiant, smooth, and, like I said, my normally large pores are significantly smaller.
MY ROUTINE:
I wash my face with my Clean & Clear Finishes Pore Perfecting Cleanser (which could ALSO be responsible!), this is after removing makeup if I have some on, and then I tone with a Clear Clinical Toner (I got this from a dermatologist/spa that I went to a while ago).  Next I wait a tick, let all that goodness sink in, and apply the Advanced Night Repair (if it's night, obviously), and after another few minute wait, I apply the NormaDerm.  If it were morning, I'd use my Tea Tree Oil Toner from the Body Shop and the Triactiv lotion instead.  If you have combination-oily/acne-prone skin, this might work for you.  I realize it's a more expensive routine, but I'm the type of gal who alternates things pretty regularly, so I'll eventually go back to my 5% Benzoyl Peroxide gel at some point, this is just what's helping me out now.
