Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl Review

This is a fantastic product, I feel very lucky to try it!

The bottle is just as classy as the face serum and the applicator is very different to anything I've seen before.

I have quite puffy, dark eye surrounds. A mix of age and long hours I think! This is one of those products that works both straightaway and builds up long term benefits. I found after use in the morning my eyes were lighter and brighter and just felt less tired.

Over the course of this trial I think my overall texture with regards to lines and wrinkles has improved massively.

My lashes do look a bit thicker than before I think, but for me this is a real winner as an eye serum.

I adore this eye serum. Just thought I'd open with that statement :)

The packaging is smart and clean, with easy to follow instructions on the flap of the box once opened. I was really pleased to see those instructions, as I think they helped in the overall experience, and probably help to deliver the results that are promised.

The applicator wand is innovative in design, helping apply the serum sparingly and not in a sudden blob. The instructions of how to apply the serum are clear, both in print and picture making the application simple. The serum itself is slick, but thick enough that it doesn't threaten to run where it shouldn't. It is immediately soothing and feels very luxurious. The light-diffusing properties within it makes you feel younger from the first application. I love that!

The amount of product is generous. I'm not quite sure if I see many improvements to my eye contour as I think it needs longer of a trial period to be sure, but I love it regardless. This is a product I will definitely be putting on my keeper shelf.

I'm in my mid 40's so with my eye area, fine lines, circles and just general appearance of my skin are concerns. I'm very lucky in that I haven't yet got too many deep wrinkles but definitely find lines and just in need of 'brightening' generally are attributes I look for when looking at eye serums/products.

This eye serum is beautiful. The Génifique Eye Light Pearl is a really unique product from others I've tried. The wand is amazing. Takes a little getting used to as it's very flexible to work with the contours of your eyes - but once you get the hang of it, it's fantastic. It gets product in the places needed. Love it!

Another very Luxe looking glass bottle. I do love Lancôme packaging! To use, open the bottle, swirl off excess product and simply apply to the under eye area, a sweep across the upper lash line, and brow bone area, and then continue massaging under the eye with the applicator.

The wand is very cooling and soothing on the eye area as it massages the serum in, applying the product in all the right places. It is a really light serum, and absorbs quickly. Over the past few weeks, there hasn't been really dramatic results, but definitely some subtle changes. I have found fine lines are softer, and the dark circles (which mine aren't terrible) certainly appear lighter. I feel my eyes look a little less aged looking (like blurring), and the skin around my eyes softer. It definitely softens the eye and makes ever. Make up applies easier around the eye area, gliding over, and not caking in the fine lines.

My lashes - hard to tell their change, but if this serum is like other lash serums it takes 6-8 weeks to see those kind of changes, so I'm reserving judgement, but I did feel these past few days they looked fuller/thicker.

Again, a pricey product, but with the help of the lovely wand, you don't tend to waste too much product, so it will last a long time. I feel it delivers on it's claims, and is worth every penny. And, if the lashes look nourished and fall out less, then its potentially a 2-in-1 product, which makes the price more appealing too as it's a real saving, considering how much lash serums cost!

I can't fault the product. It's lovely on the eye area. Definitely softens the wrinkles and fine lines. Dark circles are definitely lighter. Lashes look healthy. I think this product needs longer use to really reap the benefits it offers. I don't get 'bags' as such, but the cooling wand is sure to be a hit with anyone that has 'bags' issues.

If you can afford it and love an 'all-rounder' eye 'serum then this one is lovely and one I'll likely re-purchase, though I think this bottle will last quite a long time.

Thank you again BR for a fabulous opportunity to Trial beautiful products.... Lancôme is now a must have in my routine, and so glad I was on this trial. I head into Christmas with a glow

I was beyond excited to trial this little number and it didn't disappoint at all. I have been using this both morning and night and have noticed the skin around my eyes a lot brighter, before it looked quite dull and tired. So now I don't look like I've had an all nighter! I wouldn't say that the dreaded wrinkles have disappeared but I don't think that miracle exists in a bottle. It is super easy to use and the applicator makes it feel like a mini eye massager. I did find it took a bit longer to absorb into my skin but once it had my skin felt amazing. It smells nice and not over powering. I highly recommend this product.

Firstly I would like to thank BR for this amazing trial, I'm deeply grateful :-)

Initial impression of this silver glass bottle is opulence. The serum is a milky colour and slightly creamy. The lid has a metal tear drop applicator designed to massage the serum around your eyes and lash line.

Designed to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, depuff eyebags and reduce dark circles as well as beautify lashes.

I used this morning and night for approximately 3 weeks and found that the lines around my eyes appear less noticable and believe the massaging pearl has also helped with this. I feel that over a longer period of time this could improve more.

I don't have puffy eyes so cannot vouch for that and my dark circles unfortunately will never go due to genetics. As for my lashes they will need more time to notice any difference and will add to this review if I notice any change.

The skin around my eyes are kept hydrated/moisturized while using this serum as well as using a moisturizer on top. This will not be in everyone's budget however it is worth a try.

It is Such a pretty bottle you want it on display!! Looks lovely. It’s easy to open, and has a pearl drop which you use to apply the product around your eye area. I found it a little tricky at first with the applicator but once you know how much product you need and using it a few times it becomes easier. It’s nice and cooling and like a wee massage when you apply it. You only need a very small amount. It absorbs nicely into your skin with no sticky residue, My eye area skin feels smoother and brighter.

I was so excited to try this product as I’ve never tried an eye serum before. I was a little nervous that it wouldn’t sit well under makeup and or eye cream. I had no need to worry I wore my normal eye cream over the top every day and just the serum at night and applied to my lashes. I couldn’t notice any bunching or separating of my concealer over the top so it’s definitely makeup safe. The best thing about this serum is how much it de puffs the under eye. I’ve had several comments over the past few weeks on how “rested I look “. I normally wait a few minutes for it to sink in before applying my eye cream and it’s completely invisible. If you don’t have dry under eyes you could probably get away with just using this. I also have sensitive eyes and they weren’t bothered by this formula at all, even when it’s applied to the lashes. I have noticed my lashes look slightly longer but I’ve also been applying this to my brows and I’ve definitely noticed that the tail of my brows is longer (woohoo). I don’t love the applicator as I can’t tell how much serum I’m using and I feel like it is dragging when I apply it. The bottle however is beautiful and feels and looks very luxurious . I will definitely purchase this product again as I’ve not found anything else that gives me these results.

Lancome's eye & lash concentrate is packaged in a black and silver, luxurious-looking box, with the distinctive, silver Lancome flower on top.

Open up the box, and the product itself comes in a nifty-looking bottle, which is a matte silver with a shiny silver lid. The bottle is mostly silver, but with a little black lettering and blackish/silver base. It's a stunner. All in all, this product has been packaged beautifully, but I would expect nothing less from Lancome.

I was excited about using this product as I do suffer from dark rings under my eyes and a little puffiness or eye bags (who doesn't suffer from that kind of stuff at the age of 45?). Its fragrance is subtle - it doesn't really have much of a smell, which is good when you have to apply something near your eyes. I personally don't care for eye serums that have too much of a smell. So it ticked that box straight away.

To apply it, you just sweep the tip of the applicator gently back and forth around your eye contours, as has been shown on the box. Then - again using the flexible applicator - massage the product into your skin. There's no need to get messy fingers: by using the applicator itself to massage it in, you avoid the need to get it all over your fingers. Another excellent design by Lancome.

But, now for the drum roll please... the WOW factor for me through using this concentrate is definitely the fact that my under-eye area in particular feels INCREDIBLE. I feel it targets the puffiness issue incredibly well. I have been using it every day for the past few weeks, and it certainly makes a difference to the appearance and feel of my under-eye area. What eye bags? I'm honestly now asking myself that very question! Wow. I really love this product. It makes such a difference to the way my skin feels around the eye area, and it even makes me feel less tired whenever I apply it! How a product can achieve that is beyond me, but that's the effect it has on me. It contains probiotic fractions in it, so perhaps that really helps it to work so effectively, I don't know. I'm not a scientist. All I can tell you is that my under-eye area LOVES this product! My lashes too feel silkier yet also somewhat stronger, so that's a bonus as well. What a great little number from Lancome!

Depuffing brilliance in a silver-shaded bottle. It's a big thumbs up from me. Five kisses.

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.

Thanks for allowing me to try this Lancome Glenifique Light Pearl Eye Serum, I was keen to give this a go because l am 21 again times 3 ! and so very happy to make my skin look better, perhaps turn back the clock on my skin My skin did show fine lines, dullness and uneven texture , but now is so much happier , and that makes me happier having that little lift. I loved the luxury of the glass bottle and applicator is lovely to use lovely to use , making it easy to get to all sensitive eye areas . Thanks so much for letting me try this wonderful product!
