Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl Review

This product is a multi tasker for the eyes - I was a bit skeptical about the claims of better looking lashes as well as an illuminated, smoother eye area.

The applicator is very cool but a bit hard to describe - it makes the application intuitive and easy. You just sort of roll this around your eye area, following the contours, and be sure to get it on your lash line and lashes too. I did poke myself in the eye a couple of times to start but soon found my rhythm.

It feels instantly cooling on the eye area, a delight on these hot evenings and a refreshing wake up call in the mornings. I didnt find it tacky or sticky, as with traditional lash serums / eye serums, it's a very smooth, light formula.

It definitely works to depuff eye bags immediately, you look much brighter in the eye area minutes after use, than minutes before use!

Over this trial period I think my eyes look brighter and less dark. I've been using this with the Advanced Genifique serum so its hard to say which has had the most impact on fine lines around my eyes, but I will say my smile lines and crows feet do look greatly improved.

My lashes have been a revelation. This doesn't make any claims about lash growth, instead I think its more of a lash conditioner. My lashes look and feel thicker and stronger, even on non-mascara days.

All up, its a great multi tasker for those wanting a lash boost and a general improvement to the eye contour.

My Christmas came early this year and the lovely ladies at Beauty Review gave me the opportunity to review the Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl serum! The serum comes in an amazing bottle that has a massaging applicator in the lid of the bottle that allows you to get the serum everywhere you need it to go around your eye contour and on your lashes easy peezy. I love love love the results of using this for just over 2 weeks, once a day. Fine lines are finer, bags have been unpacked and don't exist at all now! My eyes look younger and my lashes look stronger, its like Lancome found the fountain of youth and bottled it. Its not the cheapest eye serum on the market at around $130 for 20 ml but its worth every cent!

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.

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 love this eye treatment. The applicator is lovely to use and has a cooling effect when the serum is applied. I have noticed a visible difference to the dark circles under my eyes and my eyes are less puffy. The serum is light and silky. I am sure the wrinkles around my eyes have softened and reduced. I will continue to buy this serum.

I really loved this product. The massaging applicator tool was amazing as it not only allowed me to reach all the areas easily, but did not cause any drag around the eye. The gel like consistency felt light and soothing on my skin and absorbed well, not affecting my eye makeup. Since using this product my bags, dark circles and puffiness have reduced. I can see improvement in my eye contour and my lines are less visible. My eye area feels more hydrated and supple, my lashes, more conditioned. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

I had entirely given up on eye creams. The claims made did nothing to help the fine lines, the dark under eyes, the puffiness, let alone the increasing hooded nature of the 40+ skin around my eyes. Lancome's Advanced Genefique Light-Pearl Eye Serum has changed my mind.

The packaging of this product is a chic silver/grey ombre glass (I think?) bottle, with a simple twist to open cap with a metal rounded tip that you use to apply the serum. It's very cooling and glides mostly nicely along the eye contour. (My only gripe is that sometimes it tugs the skin if there's too little serum on it, which isn't ideal).

The efficacy of this serum is mind-blowing. Dare I say, eye-opening? I truly didn't have great expectations, but what I've seen is a definite lifting of my hooded eyes, and my lower lids (which tend to great puffiness, especially in the morning) are far sleeker. No sleep? You wouldn't know it! I've also seen an improvement in my dark circles and fine lines. As for lashes? It still feels too early to tell, but they don't seem as sparse as usual, and after applying mascara they look prettier and more fanned out.

All in all I would 100% recommend this serum. Yes, it's not the cheapest, but it's a heck of a lot more affordable than an eyelid lift.

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!

Such an amazing trial to be a part of, thanks BR! The eye and lash concentrate comes in a sturdy glass bottle with attractive packaging.  It is only 20ml but you only use a tiny amount so it lasts for ages. I have been using it morning and night for nearly 3 weeks.

It has an applicator wand with a metal ball shape on the end. You simply dip it in the bottle, wipe off the excess and massage it into the eye area using the wand. It feels lovely and cooling. I don't really love the scent of this, it smells a bit chemical to me. I have sensitive skin so after I smelled it I was a bit worried it was going to cause irritation, thankfully it doesn't and I have never had a tingle at all.

I have noticed a reduction in puffiness and my eye bags have diminished. I've been using it along my lash line but not seen any growth yet however I have not had any lash fallout lately so they are obviously getting stronger which is great.

I have really loved using this and look forward to applying it as it feels luxurious and pampering. I don't think this is something I would buy for myself as it is a bit too expensive for my budget. I look forward to seeing more results with continued use.
