Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate Review

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.

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!!

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.

It was wonderful to get the opportunity to try this product. I love Lancome.

This product comes in a very classy black and silver box. Inside is a lovely bottle, black with white writing and a silver top. It looks very sleek and space-age. It has a screw top that opens to reveal a dropper. You press the top and the dropper releases the product.

The product is a cloudy gel-like substance, and when applied it is pleasantly thick and soft. It has a smell I'm not so keen on. To my senses it has a bit of a chemical undertone.

I have been using the product twice daily after cleansing. It leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh. The product claims that it targets the visible signs of fatigue to help restore skin's luminosity while you sleep, for youthful, radiant complexion.My skin does look even and fresh in the morning and has improved, but as yet youthful and radiant might be a stretch. I'm impressed with this product though, it is very good. Would I use it again? yes but it is outside my budget unfortunately. For anyone else, if you get the chance to try it then I do recommend it.

I will update when I have finished the bottle.

I was really pleased to be invited to test this concentrate. It comes in a glass bottle so don't drop it on your tiles. Has a very faint pleasant smell. The dropper has the correct amount for you to put onto your palm and then transfer to you face. I massaged it into my skin and made sure to cover the whole face and under the chin. It is actually a lot and covered my face very well. I let it dry before I put on my moisturiser as it takes a moment to soak into your skin. I have been using morning and night. My skin is looking really good and is very soft. I would use this product again as there is a lot of serum in the bottle and my skin soaks it up.

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.

So, the price gets me every time when I see this in my vanity, and it never ceases to amaze me that they can charge this much. It feels nice, sure, but I haven't noticed any major changes in my skin, I use other serums and moisturizers that do the same thing for way less. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this.

I consider myself a late bloomer when it comes to skincare, especially if it is more than just wash/moisturise, so I was super excited to trial the Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate. Being closer to 40 than anything else it is definitely time to start being proactive about skincare and this product sounded like what I needed. Firstly the presentation - beautiful! From the box to the bottle, it is all presented in an elegant way. The bottle itself is not just nice to look at but it also has a self measuring dropper. Basically when you screw the dropper/lid back in place it re-loads with its next dose - this means that every time you use it you have the perfect amount to use. This system has worked 99% of the time, it didn't re-load one time but possibly i hadn't quite clicked the lid into place. My only negative comment on the bottle would be that because of the coloring I wonder how easy it will be to tell when the product is running low. The concentrate itself is silky smooth to apply and absorbs nicely into the skin. For the first 10-12 days I applied it as directly, morning and night, and I definitely noticed a difference in my skin - it looked younger but I can't pinpoint exactly what the change was, maybe fresher, more "plump". However I then noticed that my skin was starting to feel almost oily, like it couldn't absorb the product properly. So I dropped down to night time only for a few days and my skin seemed to even out again. After nearly 3 weeks of using it, I haven't noticed any more changes to my skin - but from reading the directions I really feel like you need to use the whole bottle before making a final decision.
