Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate Reviews

First impressions of the Lancome Genifique serum began favourably; the nicely weighted airless dropper bottle told me that care had been taken to preserve the concoction inside and further use will prove that this was for very good reason.

The serum has a cosmetically elegant formula, thin enough to sink into the skin quickly but thick enough to feel substantial upon application. There is no discernable scent upon use, although a quick sniff of the bottle brings about a light citrus note, quite pleasant and not at all irritating, even to my sensitive skin. The airless dropper was effective and consistent in dispensing the correct amount of product for use while leaving me secure in the fact that I was not overusing this pricey liquid.

Immediate application left my skin feeling supple, hydrated and graced with the healthy glass skin glow we all dream of - so much so that I was able to skip the glowy primer on days in which I used this before applying my makeup. I also discovered (thanks to Lilly Collins’ video for Vogue), that this mixes superbly into a heavier coverage foundation to give you a sheerer dewier look, which I took advantage of many times over these last few weeks.

The long term observations were that the condition of my skin felt improved, fine lines reduced and a general softness and plumpness arose that certainly was not naturally occurring (ask me about the amount of sleep handmaking 3 halloween costumes leaves you with). An added bonus was that my skin healed quickly from irritation (unrelated to this product) and kept hormonal flare ups majorly reduced.

Overall, I was highly impressed with this serum and was especially surprised with its ability to be a multitasking beauty product (with skincare benefits).

It comes in a luxurious packaging and bottle with dispenser is such an intelligent system where the product is automatically pulled in the dispenser when you open the lid and it is the right amount each time that is sufficient for your face.
The product has no harsh smell at all, it looks silvery and shiny and is so easy to apply on your skin. It takes a little while to absorb, I usually give it about a few minutes before I put moisturiser on top of this product. Your skin is instantly soft and supple after use and it feels moisturised. My skin definitely feels more luminous and brighter, I have been using this every night for about 2 weeks now, although my pigmentation and dark spots are still the same, but my overall skin radiance is so much better. I would definitely recommend this product and would buy this product myself to continue getting it's benefit.

I am testing the Lancome Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate as part of the Trial Team. Unfortunately, I was only able to test this serum for 7 days when writing this review, thus I was unable to see the full extent of the anti-aging properties of this serum.

This serum came in a glass bottle with a dropper to dispense the product. The dropper was very easy to use, did not drip at all when I take it out of the bottle. I only needed to press the button on top of the dropper slightly to dispense enough product for my face and neck.

The serum has very light and subtle fragrance. It's texture was gel like and quite runny. My skin absorbed it very quickly, I cannot smell the fragrance once I finished applying the serum on my face.

My face feels slightly moisturised and smoother immediately after applying the serum. I like that this serum does not make my skin feel sticky as some serum does.

I have dry and sensitive skin. I am happy that this did not cause a reaction to my skin.

Due to the lightweight texture of this serum, I would recommend this serum to both dry and oily skin types

I was lucky enough to be selected as part of the trial team for the Lancome Genifique serum. I had high expectations for this serum as i have used quite a few Lancome products and have loved all of them. This serum did not disappoint. It comes in a very sleek black and clear bottle with a silver dropper, which automatically refills when you take the lid off, bravo Lancome! The serum spreads really well and soaks into the skin almost instantly, leaving the skin feeling smooth and soft. A little definitely goes a long way. I have been using this product morning and night and have notice my skin is definitely more radiant and i am also starting to notice the skin near my eyes is more firmer. The smell is subtle and not overpowering which I appreciate as my skin can be quite sensitive. a great product from a great company, highly recommend

I was super, super excited to trial this product. I have been interested by Lancôme’s Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Serum for ages, but haven’t committed to taking the plunge, mainly due to the hefty price tag and not knowing how it would suit my skin. So believe me when I say I was super stoked to be apart of this trial team.

The product itself is absolutely beautiful. You can tell it’s a high end brand due to the beautiful glass bottle and precise dropper applicator that comes inbuilt into the lid. The black and silver aesthetic is right up my alley and I don’t think I have owned such a beautiful bottle of skincare.

The product itself didn’t have the most clear set instructions on the box, it just stated to apply twice a day, before other skincare. It didn’t go into wether you were to use a couple of drops or more but after the first time dispensing the dropper, it shoots out the whole dropper so I have been using that quantity morning and night. The dropper refills itself automatically once the lid has been reattached, ready for the next application.

The product has such great slip over the skin, I could tell it contained a silicone right away as I could disperse the dropper all around my face and neck with no quick absorption. I don’t mind silicones in skincare but it can be a dealbreaker for others. After I have applied the serum it dries down to an invisible finish within a minute and I’m ready for my next skincare step. I didn’t experience any flaking or balling after layering my skincare over this serum. I used the same skincare routine I had been using before incorporating the serum and didn’t add anything else so to give myself the best chance of noticing any visual results.

And now for the magic. I could notice the difference in my skin after only a few days. I have been consistent with my applications and my skin has a luminosity that it didn’t have before. I know the benefits of pro and prebiotics for your insides and it just makes sense that they would have the same amazing benefits externally on the skin. I feel like this serum is getting me closer to achieving that “glass skin” look. This serum has been around for years but it has been reformulated. It now contains 30 million prebiotics and probiotic fractions in every dropper.

I have already purchased my own bottle for when this one is empty as Lancôme has just introduced a reward system on their website

A real thirst quencher for my dull and dehydrated skin, I may even call it as a Genie in a bottle!
The Lancôme Genifique serum comes in a nice packaging and the two-toned glass bottle is very pretty.
The dropper is smartly engineered to ensure the easy access of the product.
The serum smells great and feels luxurious to use. It does get a bit sticky initially but gets absorbed as you massage it into your skin.
Make sure you're using gentle strokes in a circular manner.
It has evened out minor fine lines on my forehead and eyes.
Definitely, brought some brightness and reduced the appearance of previous scars on my face.
Can be used as a skin care product before bed or in the morning or as a prep for the skin before applying make-up.
I would definitely recommend this serum to anyone looking for a hydrating anti-aging product. Suits best for combination or dry skin. Evens out the scars and aging pigmentation.

First of all, thank you Beautyheaven for this trial opportunity.

The trial product Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate comes in a 30ml glass bottle. I have used an older version of Lancôme youth activating concentrate many years ago, and I must say the new bottle design is impressive. While it just looks like a normal dropper bottle, it in facts draws more serum when you twist to close the cap. Very clever. Apart from that, it has the Lancôme signature luxurious design.

To use, I apply a pea-sized drop of the Lancôme serum on my face after washing and toning, once in the morning and once in the evening. Even though the serum contains denatured alcohol, the serum doesn't dry out of skin too much. It gets absorbed into my skin very quickly and it doesn't interfere with other moisturizers or sunscreens applied afterwards.

I have patch-tested this Lancôme serum when I first received it from Beautyheaven. Once I know it doesn't cause any irritation on my skin, I started using it twice daily as per instructed. I do notice that my skin has stayed consistently clear. While I still had a couple of hormonal pimples, they were fairly small and seemed to recover and fade faster than normal when I use this Lancôme serum.

Overall I enjoy using Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate. I will look out for future value packs and gift with purchases, as this is a nice product, just a little out of my price range.

I hardly ever reach for serums from well known brands as I think they are pricey and the results they give are comparable with the cheaper options. However, every now and then it is good to check your stands and I when I saw an invitation to try out the new version of the Genifique serum I thought I would give it a go. The packaging and the product looks very luxurious ( no wonder, it is $105 for 30 ml!). The bottle is black and made of glass, it has a very hygienic dropper that distributes the right amount of product to cover the face ( I add one more for my neck too). The formula is rather runny, smells subtle, not very offensive and the smells disappears after a while. Absorbs well. Doesn't leave a sticky film either. In my case, it works well with my skincare, I also have no problems applying foundations over it. I use it both night and day. At night I like pairing it with some AHA night cream as it adds hydration. In the morning the skin looks extra radiant and clear. It feels plump and soft. I am nicely surprised. I thought it would be a flop, but I actually enjoy using this serum. In the morning it boosts moisture again and makes my skin look less tired. Worth trying. Great for a present too.

This serum comes in a black box with a picture of the serum on the packaging. I do find the print on the box to be a bit disorganised as it does not have what the product does in English at the top part of the box. This is not really an issue but the product box packaging could certainly be improved.

The serum itself looks impressive and I love the ombre colouring of the product with the silver top. The product is in a dripper/dropper design which is great as you get the perfect amount of serum each time. You press on the top after twisting the lid off and the serum is dispensed. Only one pump of serum is needed. This is the perfect pea sized amount of serum to apply to your face and neck. The product feels luxurious and very light on the skin. It does make my skin look glowy and radiant. My skin looks smoother and brighter. The serum does not feel uncomfortable or sticky on the skin.

The serum smooths out my skin for a brighter and more radiant complexion. My fine lines also look better as the serum smooths them in or fills them out. I am very happy with my youthful bright skin thanks to this serum. Overall I highly recommend for a glowy and radiant complexion.
