Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate Review

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.

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 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.

I've never really bought into the idea of very expensive products. I thought it was a marketing ploy - a mid range serum repackaged to be high end. I might have been a bit hasty in my judgement.

This has a very cool dropper, you push the button at the top of the lid to dispense and suck up product. It's nice and gives and added bit of control to the amount you're dispensing - important given the cost per use!

I read the instructions (larger print please..those with more wrinkles generally have less than perfect eye sight!) and set about using this twice daily.

I was worried it was going to be very strong and cause irritation or stinging, but it felt lovely and soothing to apply. It feels luxurious to use, I don't know how else to explain it, it's not just knowing you're applying a high-end serum, there's just such a noticeable difference in the quality of the serum.

I've been using for around 3 weeks I think and WOW. It's what I imagine having botox would be like, without the needles and toxins! My crows feet and lip lines have noticeably reduced, my forehead looks plumper and younger and my whole face has an even, bright glow.

I really can't stress enough how good this is - it's definitely worth the price tag!

I am such a huge fan of this serum. It’s suitable for all ages and skin types, I use this on my clients before makeup application for extra radiance and hydration.

I have sensitive skin and haven’t experienced any irritation with this product. I have definitely noticed in my skins texture, radiance and fine lines. Love this product!

The packaging is super cool and clever. When you put the cap on, it automatically reloads the dropper with the perfect amount of product.

I received two samples of this (total 12ml of product) in the CBBBE. Light serum/watery consistency, slightly sticky on application but that goes away once it dries down. Lightly scented but don't know how to describe it, not offensive or overpowering.

Have been using this in my evening skincare routine for the last 2 weeks and my skin is looking great. Smoother, brighter, lit from within.

I've never tried luxury skincare before now due to the price. However I do have to say that the results are very good. I'm unsure as to whether I would purchase full size as it is still out of my price range, something I may consider in future.

Holy GUACAMOLE batman! This stuff is the stuff of legends. Goddesses bathe in this. Its glorious.

Love the dropper, but the serum.. YES! A little watery, but it applies so easily and spreads so nicely... like helloooo new skin? Its gorgeous.

Didnt notice a smell, didnt upset my skin, the price is carazay but im glad i got to try it. Its beautiful and im 100% going to buy it as a treat one day soon!

I didn't hate this product, but I didn't particularly like it.

My skin type is normal, and I did find this product to be quite strong and leave my skin feeling slightly tingly. The serum itself is very lightweight and absorbed into the skin quickly. Overall results after using an entire bottle: skin was softer, smoother and brighter. The packaging is really nice, the product feels luxurious to hold and the dropper works really well to deposit a perfect amount of product.

Overall takeaway: The price is very high, and I think there are better products on the market offering very similar results, for a lot less money.

I LOVE this stuff- it’s on the pricier side but it truely does make your skin feel amazing, it fixes the texture of my skin up and my make up applies better- and that’s not even what it’s meant to be used for. It helps stop pimples forming over night for me as well, I have repurchased and I will do again. My make up artist asked what I did for my skin to get my make up to apply so much better than before I used it- she was shocked.
