I purchased this serum mainly for ABOVE my eyes, not under them. I really want to prevent my hooded lids from dropping too much but I did mainly notice this product working under my eyes. It really tightened my skin up! I tried to pull my bottom lid way from my eye to apply my eyeliner and it would barely budge!! I was pleasantly suprised since I was only using the product for a week.
I found the applicator rather annoying. You have to wipe off some product and then if you don't have enough, it pulls on your skin a little. Because of this, I kept getting TOO much product and some would dry on my skin which I could feel later. I wasn't too impressed by that. Instead, I use the applicator to put some product on my fingers and tap it into my skin. This works heaps better for me.
I will continue to battle my drooping eyelids and repurchase this product.
I was very privileged and thankful to be given the amazing opportunity to review Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl. Thank you very much BR :-)
Lets start with the packaging. The black boxed packaging has the Lancome signature small rose on it and also a silver tear drop/pearl on the front of the box. The packaging makes you feel you are in for a high quality, luxurious experience. On the boxed packaging there is also clear written instructions along with a visual on how to apply Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl.
Once the box is opened there is an elegant, sturdy glass bottle that is silver in colour with a steel like cap. The cap has the Lancome signature small rose on top.
To use, simply twist the silver cap open to reveal the magical 360 degree eye massage applicator. The applicator swivels to the contour of your eye, so is very flexible when using. It is like a magical wand.
I apply Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl after cleansing in the morning and the evening. Be patient when applying as it doesn't absorb instantly.
Before applying, I swirl the light pearl applicator around the neck of the bottle to remove any excess serum before applying. A little truly goes a long way. Then with the light pearl applicator simply sweep back and forth around the eye contour and massaging with small circular movements. You will work out very quickly a routine of application that will suit just you. - wide arcing motions, circular motions both big and small and don't forget to go across your upper lash line as well.
The tear shaped bead that massages the serum on and around your eye area is very cooling and relaxing. My skin feels instantly energised. The serum is fragrance free and has a light- medium weight gel consistency. I have sensitive eyes and the Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl has not caused myself any irritation in the way of dryness or itching.
I can't stress enough how wonderful the cooling sensation is upon applying. At the time of writing my review today, I have been using Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl twice a day for just over 2 weeks and have already noticed some small differences. My eye area appears firm and brighter - I don't look as tired and my eye area is definitely well hydrated.
I love this product and will continue to use.
