Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate Review

I have been lucky enough to be sent this to review! I love the packaging it's very smart and different! The applicator that dispenses the exact right amount is awesome, and the wee push button is cool. The smell isnt the best its not bad just not descript. I can't really place it, I almost think pva glue. The texture is nice, and the instructions to use helpful. It drys out on your face quickly to soak in so that's a bonus. I have quite dry skin and I wad worried it would make me break out but it didn't so I was super suprised about that. Im not sure I saw a dramatic change in my skin in the 10 or so days ive had it but will keep using to see how I get on.

Lancome know beauty, and their products are always a delight to have in my bathroom cabinet.

The dropper applicator delivers the perfect amount of serum for your face and throat, but I liked to add a little more to more problematic areas - between the brows, lines starting to form at top lip, and laugh lines on cheeks. This serum definitely feels like it is delivering on it's promise. My skin feels and looks plumper, smoothing the fine lines and delivering a bit of relief from dry patches that appear every now and then. It sinks into the skin quickly and doesn't leave the skin tacky at all.

A little bit of luxury that is especially lovely to apply at the end of the day.

I have been using Lancôme Genifique for a couple of weeks now, twice a day and I love it!

The bottle comes with a dropper which disburses the right amount of product, which is very hygienic - no fingers in the jar.

The product feels quite oily to start with, but as soon as you massage into face/neck it absorbs pretty quickly, leaving no residue and has minimal scent.

I feel my face is responding well to this product and love how it leaves my skin feeling. I haven’t yet seen an obvious reduction in fine lines - I probably need to use it for a little bit longer.

What can I say- love at first sight ...or use I should say. I love this serum. It’s so light and easy to use.

The bottle is perfectly weird - when you screw the lid on the dropper goes down so when you next open it the dropper is already filled with serum- no need to pump the air out to suck up the serum- I had never seen this before so was quite mind blown. It’s so simple but so handy! Perfectly measured each time and so easy to use.

The serum is very light and thin. One dropper worth smoothed easily over my entire face - I did use a second dose for my neck and décolletage which resulted in a bit of excess which I put over my hands after and I can say the back of my hands are looking very clear and soft. After applying this to my face - it looks like you have just had a facial- smooth, clear, bright and incredibly soft but not greasy. It just soaks in so easily and makes your skin look beautiful. When they use the words luminous and radiant in the description rest assured this is what you get.

There is no strong scent which I like as some of these higher end serums just smell like perfume.

Being sooo amazed by this serum I went and bought the matching day and night cream and have to say I think it’s a winning combination. Only a couple of days in to the whole combination but I’m loving it so far.

The packaging on this product was beautiful it definitely held the sense of a quality product.

The serum was easy to dispense with a dropper getting the amount needed perfectly every time

The serum went on smoothly and left my skin silky smooth and ready for a moisturizer to lock in the goodness. I would definitely purchase this product and can see it definitely is well worth the price tag.

This was such an awesome trial to be a part of. I’ve wanted to try Lancôme for a while now and I wasn’t disappointed!

The bottle is beautiful quality and the way you twist the lid to load the serum in to the dropper is great. I have to admit the amount it gave felt slightly to much to me but I rolled with it!

The serum itself feels silky and glides on beautifully. It isn’t scented which I like. It absorbed really quickly in to my skin and left no residue or sticky feel, it feels really lovely and luxurious.

The routine of applying this felt really self indulgent and my skin was nice and glowy afterwards. The whole procedure of using this was lovely.

So the important part! The results! I definitely noticed a difference in skin tone. The serum absolutely reduced my red areas and I love it for that alone. Overall my skin feels softer and I can’t wait to continue using this to see if it smooths out some fine lines.

I love this serum, I will absolutely use the bottle up and at this stage intend to rebuy!!

Wow what an amazing trial to be on. Thanks so much BR! I have been using the youth activating concentrate both morning and night for nearly 3 weeks. I love the packaging, very classy looking and a nice sturdy bottle. 

To use you push down on the lid which draws the concentrate into the dropper. A little bit definitely goes a long way, i use just under half a dropper full for my face and neck. It has an ok scent but not my favourite. I like how you can see how much is left, I still have over half a bottle which is pretty great considering it is only 30ml and I use twice daily.

I apply after cleansing to a dry face, it absorbs into my skin so fast and doesn't leave it feeling sticky at all. My skin feels super soft and my foundation glides on beautifully. I've also noticed I don't get any oil on my t zone like I usually do and i've had no dry patches since using this which is incredible.

I have sensitive skin and get no irritation or redness at all from this. It hasn't caused any breakouts either.

After a few weeks of use my skin is noticeably smoother and clear. It looks plump and the fine lines on my forehead and around my eyes have definitely softened. I have had people comment on how nice my skin looks which is a fantastic compliment.

I am excited to see how my skin looks with continued use. I am very happy with the results so far. Would I purchase this myself?  Hmmmm if I saw it on sale I definitely would but for me it is just a little bit expensive for my budget. Thanks so much BR for making me a part of this amazing trial!

Love this product and everything about it! The applicator dispenses the perfect amount for each use and It creates the good base for day cream and then makeup application. Its lightly fragrant, and not overpowering, I felt l noticed results almosr immediately ,hydrated feel to skin and over the the weeks l have used it and have noticed noticed an improvement in skin texture and evenness , especially around eye area where l have fine lines I feel it will go a long way as dispenser gives perfect amount ! Thanks so much l am really happy to be on this trail

Much like the eye cream I'd all but given up on serums, only applying them because you 'should' not because I saw a visible difference. Lancome Advanced Genefique Youth Activating Concentrate did the unimaginable - it made a visible difference.

The packaging is a sleek and chic black to grey glass bottle with a silver cap. The cap twists off and at the same time sucks up the amount of serum required, and you simply push down on the lid's button to disperse the serum into your hands. From there you pat and sweep the serum over your face, then distribute any extra (of which I had extra as I have quite a small face) to your neck/decolletage.

I found the serum to be non-sticky, to sink in quickly, and I wasn't bothered by its slightly chemical scent. It did not irritate my skin.

When I noticed the biggest difference was first thing in the morning. I'd look in the mirror after a terrible night's sleep (thank you perimenopause/life stress) and my skin would be glowing. Radiant, even. My skin feels smoother, it looks healthier. I swear I've even seen some rapid changes to my deep seated acne scarring.

This serum is by no means affordable, BUT I would sooner shell out for a bottle of this knowing it works than spend the equivalent on four bottles of serum and fancy moisturisers that do nothing at all. 100% would recommend and repurchase.
