The price!!

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.

Gorgeous

Awesome product, gives skin a glow. I wish the price was reasonable! Hence my reason for trying other brands but coming back to Lancôme over last 25 years.

My "Go To" Lancome product

I started using this after I received a trial size pack years ago, and I just won't go without it now - under moisturiser (day and night) and my skin feels a million dollars.

Worth every cent!

This is a brilliant serum - over the months I’ve been using it in my routine I’ve noticed a dramatic increase in skin tone and brightness, reduced pore sizes and scars have become less noticeable. Definitely a must try if you haven’t already!

Tips: Cleanse, tone, the apply serum - leave to dry for a minute or so before applying moisturiser.

So good under moisturizers

I also got a trial size of this product and it is legit amazing. I used it under my foundation and found my skin stayed hydrated and soft all day. But as much as I love it, I just can't afford it right now. It is expensive!

Wearing my best face :-)

I was very privileged and thankful to be given the amazing opportunity to review Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate. Thank you very much BR :-)

The black boxed packaging is opulent and elegant. It has the Lancome signature small rose on the lid of the box. Once you open the lid of the box there are written instructions and a visual on the inside to show how to use the serum applicator. The packaging makes you feel like you are in for a high quality, luxurious experience.

Inside the box is an elegant, sturdy glass bottle that is cleverly ombre from black to white and has a steel like cap. The cap has the Lancome signature small rose on top.

To use, simply twist the silver cap open to reveal a glass, self-loading dropper. There is no guess work on the correct portion to use, as it dispenses the right amount every time I use it.

I apply Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate after cleansing in the morning as a day serum and in the evening as a night serum. My face looks very forward to this routine as well.

After cleansing and applying Lancome Genifique - Eye Light Pearl, I then apply Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate. Simply unscrew the lid of Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate and press on top of the dropper to dispense the serum into your hand. With your free hand dip your fingers in to the product and dot onto your forehead, nose, chin and both cheeks. Gently rub into your skin.

Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate serum is lightweight, easily absorbs into your skin and leaves no residue.

My experience has only been for a short time but the benefits it has consistently given my skin during this time has already made me a huge fan. At the time of writing my review today, I have been using Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate twice a day for just over 2 weeks. This wonderful serum has 100% smoothed out my complexion and my skin feels supple. My skin is looking the best that it has in a very long time. It is like a pre-skin care booster shot that takes your entire routine to the next level.

I know I have already mentioned it but I do love how my entire face feels smoother and less textured. This is an easy product to use and incorporate into a daily routine. Hydrating goodness.

I love Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate and will continue to use.

Lancome Genifique youth concentrate rocks!

Genefique youth activating concentrate is the first serum I have tried due to cost. Now I m a big fan of serums! Being able to try it by reviewing has been a real bonus for me as my skin was dull and grainy due to ill health over past year. So the first thing I noticed was a softness and cooling calming effect which helped my slight redness, my skin smoothed out and looked brighter and luminous which has given me a real boost to my confidence. It has a lovely non sticky, easy to apply consistency and you definitely need to apply only one dropper full to cover the face, neck and the any left over on the decolletage, any other left over goes on the back of my hands. The serum soaks in quickly so you can apply a good quality facial sunscreen and or moisturizer with spf so no time is wasted waiting for drying. Straight away your skin feels hydrated, smooth and perked up. I've had no reactions to this serum and my skin can be sensitive to some facial products so its a good quality gentle product. Although its a luxury item price wise I do feel its worth the $$ and you could possibly just use it at night or morning to make it last longer. I have endorsed this product to friends already as an investment in your skin with the added benefit of extra confidence. Now I can see why this product has a holy grail reputation and would save up to buy it. I don't have a large variety of good quality products but I do believe in targeting a hanful of excellent products that give me the results I'm looking for.

Tips: Put the serum in the palm of your hand, spread over palms quickly without rubbing in, then start at the top of you face from forehead down over cheeks, then center of face, across above mouth and chin, down neck and leftover if any on decolletage. Its really easy to apply. Enjoy!

Lancome love

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.

Tips: Apply twice daily to cleansed skin.

Still on the fence

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.

Tips: Make sure that the cap clicks when you screw it back on, this ensures the correct dose goes into the dropper.

Lovely product

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.

Tips: Let it dry before you put on your moisturiser as there is a fair amount of product in the dispenser.
