Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate Reviews

I was so incredibly excited to try Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate!

I have used this serum morning and night after cleansing, and found that I have not had to use moisturiser after use.
My skin has never felt so perfectly smooth, and I have tried A LOT of facial products. Most leave my skin either feeling incredibly greasy, or desperate for more moisture.
This serum never made my skin feel greasy, even after a full day of wearing a mask at work. And it stayed perfectly smooth all day long!

My only fault with this product, is that my skin didn't look visibly different after using this product. I only noticed the difference in how it felt. It didn't give my skin a bright even-toned appearance, however it did take away any dry patches that may have been usually visible.

I am still completely in love with this product, and will absolutely purchase it in the future. I definitely believe it is a miracle for my skin that in time may be the best product for it, especially after wearing a mask every day.

The bottle for this product is amazing and I’ve not seen one so well designed before. It not only looks sleek and classy, but it is functional. There is a dropper built into the lid which releases the perfect volume of serum when you press the top of it, and then it automatically refills itself when you screw it back onto the bottle. This is a great design because it is so hygienic and minimises waste of the serum, yet the bottle still looks luxurious.

The serum itself is milky and light in consistency. It has a light scent that I can’t really explain but I honestly don’t really notice it when I am using the product. The dropper dispenses the perfect amount which is only a couple of millilitres and this is enough to cover the face and neck. The serum is quite quickly absorbed by the skin and you can continue with your face routine. It sits perfectly under my usual moisturiser and any makeup that I choose to apply. Although I really been wearing any foundation lately and have felt super confident without it now that I have been using this serum as my skin looks amazing.

I’ve been using this serum twice a day for about 3 weeks now and have noticed positive improvements in my skin. This product has given my skin a healthy glow and it looks brighter with more even tone. I am hopeful that the anti-aging effects work well as a preventative as well as I would love to keep my skin looking as young as I can for as long as I can. I am keen to continue using this product and observe the results over a longer period of time. This product does come with a high price tag, but the results were very promising so if you can afford it, I would recommend you do consider this product.

The Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate comes packaged in a black ombre glass bottle which looks very luxe. The design of the serum bottle is innovative – it has a self-loading applicator which means all I need to do is press the button on top of the lid to dispense the perfect amount of product for use on my face, neck and décolletage each time. For me, the applicator is great; it is easy to use, hygienic and it allows me to get the desired amount of product out without any waste.

The serum is very lightweight and has a gel-like texture. Once applied to my skin, it absorbs very easily. Initially, the serum does feel a little sticky on the skin, however given the serum absorbs so quickly, I am able to follow with a moisturiser which then leaves my skin feeling more comfortable. The serum never left my skin feeling oily, and I did not experience any breakouts which is great as I have oily-combination skin which can sometimes be difficult to manage. I did not find the serum to have a strong fragrance.

While using the serum over the last few weeks both morning and night, I have been very impressed with the results. My skin feels smoother and softer; I have definitely noticed a change in the texture of my skin, particularly on my cheeks and forehead. My skin visibly looks brighter and my complexion looks more even-toned. I had family members comment that my skin was looking radiant – that’s a great compliment! I am looking forward to continue using the product to see how my skin continues to respond to the serum, particularly the longer-term effects on my fine lines. I will continue using this serum and I would absolutely recommend it.

Having used the previous version of Advanced Genifique, I almost disregarded this trial team invite. But after careful reading, I eagerly accepted because this is an updated formula and having familiarity with the previous one, I felt that made me particularly well suited to test drive this latest formula.

I actually had the previous version in my beauty cupboard so I pulled it out for a side by side comparison and they are virtually identical - the only exception being that on the current formula they have omitted the trademark Lancome rose, otherwise it is identically in every way.

I also revisited the contents of the bottle, applying previous formula to one side of my face and current formula to the other side. They both absorb really well and are a great first step (post cleansing and toning, of course) to my day OR night skincare routine (directions are to apply twice daily).

I like the easy to use dispenser that premeasures the serum for me, delivering the ideal dose. It’s also very mild in the fragrance, which is not always the case with Lancome. I find their skincare products are usually quite fragrant, which I personally enjoy most of the time, but it can be a problem for others.

I found the most obvious benefit I saw during this trial was in the creases (smile lines) by my eyes. Short term benefit is hydration, which greatly reduces the appearance of these creases, but long term use will yield more significant results. It’s worth noting too that the new formula provided better, faster results than the previous formula.

I think the real appeal to this serum is ease of use. With the clever packaging and comfortable wear, this is an easy serum to stick with, which is really where you see the benefit - consistency.

I used the Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate for about four weeks as part of the trial team. The packaging is just gorgeous with this product. It comes in a lovely glass bottle with a dropper to dispense the product. The dropper dispenses the perfect amount of product to apply to your face. The serum is a light, clear colour and was easy to spread over the face. It soaked into the skin well after massaging it around the face. It leaves the skin with a moisturised but not heavy feeling. I used my normal skin care routine after applying the serum. I noticed that my forehead lines are not as prominent, which is a fantastic result after a 4 week period. It sat well under all my skincare products and makeup. I really loved trialing this product and would most likely rebuy in the future.

I trialled this as apart of the trial team. At a glance the box looks like a luxurious product came my way . The bottle is divine and the dropper is impressive I could adjust how much serum I wanted to apply to my face; it’s like injecting a good amount of glow to my skin, I felt an instant amount radiance altered my complexion. The consistency was nice and not sticky at all. Whilst I was trialling this product, I sadly did have a set back of pimples appearing on my chin so I changed the option of applying from am to pm only using the product at night due to my skin getting a bit oily whilst using the product. I used the product by working mainly in the areas of improving and targeting my fine lines and working on my skin texture aiming for smoother skin. I liked that the product bottle packs a punch of this serum , the bottle is also very versatile and the serum was easily implemented into my skincare routine.

I was able to trial this product for a number of weeks and was really impressed.
The packaging is the normal Lancome style so it looks quite sleek and appealing. The bottle is impressive and is a black ombre glass that looks very luxe, but the best part of all is the silver cap that not only looks amazing, but as you screw the lid on, it has an automatic feature that draws the perfect amount of serum into the dropper for me to use.
The serum is light on the skin and absorbs really well, it seemed to be fine for my normally sensitive skin too. With so many benefits this really is a great product to have and I definitely noticed healthier skin after using for a few weeks. My skin was less dull and my tone was more even and brighter, so I am looking forward to seeing the results after using it for longer.

The packaging consists of sturdy elegant glass- a black, white and silver colour scheme complete with a silver plastic dropper. I like its’ innovative packaging which I haven’t seen before, where you twist the top to load the dropper with product and open at the same time (instead of taking the lid off then squeezing the topper to extract the product). I like the idea that the product is loaded with the cap still on to minimise exposure to air and potential contamination by having the bottle open too long. You simply press the top to dispense the already loaded product. It feels expensive to use and for the ($105) price tag I am very lucky to have trialled it for BeautyHeaven.

I found that even with the lightest touch on the button, the product dispenses very quickly and in a large amount so not much is needed. I recommend 1-2 drops. It has a milky gel like texture and It smooths on the skin very easily. Its’ smell is not particularly pleasant (sort of reminds me of hand sanitiser) but this is not a major issue for me. I would have preferred no fragrance added as I have sensitive skin and try to avoid fragrance where I can, however this hasn’t irritated my skin as of yet.

Even though it smoothes on easily and evaporates quickly (thanks to the denatured alcohol) I did feel that it become sticky on my face quickly after it had absorbed. I found this a bit unpleasant. Nevertheless with moisturiser applied on top it becomes less noticeable as it finishes sinking in slowly. It did not leave a dryness or oily film even after a long day.

I’m a virgin when it comes to Lancome products and I’m very happy with the results. I have noticed a smoothness, softness and plumpness to my skin after using this serum for the last few weeks and have also noticed it brightening my complexion whilst smoothing out fine lines. I’m looking forward to seeing further results with my skin with continued usage however I probably won’t repurchase for a long time due to the price tag.

I am in awe with the new and improved formulation of the Lancome Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Serum!

The serum is housed in a very luxe glass bottle with a unique dropper-like dispenser, which allows for 2 drops at the press of the button on the end of the applicator. Two drops is sufficient to apply to my entire face and down my neck.

The serum is quite milky in colour and lightweight in consistency, so it makes it so easy to apply to the skin. The serum absorbs very quickly into the skin, so there’s no need to wait long for the skin to dry before applying moisturiser. The scent is thankfully not overpowering, however, it is subtle and dissipates very quickly as the serum absorbs into the skin.

I incorporate this serum in my daily AM and PM skincare routine (after applying toner/essence and before applying moisturiser) and my skin looks nourished, well hydrated and feels so soft and supple! My very fine lines are beginning to blur, so it’s just a matter on continual use to maintain this new youthful look! I love how my skin looks and feels after using this serum and would recommend this product if your skin is in need to rewind the clock!
