Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate Review

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.

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

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!

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.

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'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.

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!
