Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate Review

I noticed a huge difference after using this serum. My skin felt smoother and looked hydrated and luminous with an more even tone. The serum felt a little sticky first but that disappeared immediately. I really like the bottle and application dropper. I will definitely continue to use it.

The great experience all starts with the bottle - what a beautiful elegant shape and colour that you're happy to have left out in the bathroom. The 'button' on the top was a neat way to draw and release liquid from the stem. So from a classy, chic experience perspective, top marks. Most importantly, it did the job and a little went a long way. It was easy to apply and absorbed quickly before I applied my moisturiser. My skin has not felt dry at all which is something I can experience at this time of year. I highly recommend this product - going to be a 2021 favourite.

I'm going to start with the only potential negative, which is the cost. This is definitely an investment in skin care, it's not one to pick up on a whim that's for sure - I'd recommend trying a sample first. Chances are you'll be wowed enough to buy it!

I am ticking along in years and coming up to December was feeling a little fed up about my lines and wrinkles. A recent birthday only compounded the grumpiness about my ageing face. So thanks BR, this came at the right time!

The bottle and packaging are pure class, what else would you expect from Lancome?

I've been using this twice a day after cleansing. I've been applying as I would my usual serum when my skin is ever so slightly damp - it seems to help the serum absorb faster and spread easier, without sitting on the skin.

I experience no untoward sensations upon application, but I can feel the product, if that makes sense.

I like to wait around 3-5 minutes before applying my usual moisturiser, just to ensure this is probably absorbed.

After several weeks of use my skin looks and feels remarkably better than before. The texture is more even, less crepey and saggy. Tighter, without being tight. It's plumped up my fine lines and I believe my deeper wrinkles are at the beginning of looking improved.

My skin feels incredibly soft and supple, I don't feel like the dry old crone of just a few weeks ago.

This isn't exactly botox in a jar - but nor did I expect it to be. But as serums go, this is the best I've tried and I honestly don't think it can be surpassed. I will continue use while I put some money aside to replenish when this bottle is empty!

This serum is one of the best I've tried (and I've tried many across all price points). Before trying this my favourite was Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair but this surpasses that in every aspect. Lightweight and easily absorbed it leaves your skin feeling refreshed. It leaves no oily residue or lingering fragrance. It's great under makeup and doesn't affect my sensitive skin at all. Yes it's at the high end of price points but well worth it. My skin feels more plumped and youthful - something everyone aspires to in a skin product

I was extremely fortunate to be selected to trial the Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate and I am so excited to share this review! This is more than a serum - its an experience. The bottle hints at the magic within by resembling a magic potion with a very unique, yet very functional dispenser inside the lid. You simply open the bottle and the dropper loads with the perfect amount of serum. Push the button at the top of the lid and the dropper empties the contents. Simple as even for a ditsy blonde like me! The serum itself is a cloudy liquid which spreads easily on to the face and absorbs quickly. I always found one dropper load was enough to do my entire face, except for my eyes. Because I was lucky enough to also get the eye serum I didn't use this in my eye area. The results are truly magic. My skin hasn't been this soft for years and my fine lines have definitely reduced in visibility. After just over 2 weeks of usage, twice a day, I have noticed such a difference I think I will never live without it in my bathroom again. Yes it is pricey at around $120 a 30 ml bottle but honey you are so worth it!

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 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.

First off, I loved the packaging, the easy twist self-filling eye dropper and the sleek silver to ombré bottle. The scent was very mild and pleasant. The serum was quite fluid and I found I needed 2 drops rather than the one as it just wasn't enough.

The cap was a little tricky as the bottom silver band wasn't stuck fast to the bottle and I didn't realise the cap needed to 'click' into place to close properly. It didn't matter as the seal was good enough that I didn't lose any of the product when I stored it on its side in a draw.

I used this product daily since receiving it for review (2.5 weeks) and I can't say I have seen any results even though it claims results can be seen as early as 7 days.

Regardless, I enjoy the pamper pseudo spa experience and its a little bit of luxury for my tired end-of-day face and makes my skin feel great. I am hanging in there for results.

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 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.
