Lancôme Advanced Genifique Anti-Aging Face Serum Review and How to Use

[@kymberliethefreespiritedone]

I've been using Génifique for around 10yrs. It's great and a little goes a long long way! I have good skin and this keeps it maintained as I age...

[@sherrihowe5631]

Thank you for your review. I have used this product for 10 years at least- never any problem using this product. I am 64 years old. I have normal to dry skin.

[@sheenacarol265]

I always get compliments on my skin and looking younger than my counterparts at 56 yrs old.❤

[@sarahleasure9132]

I love this product! I don’t notice any dryness in my skin at all. It has transformed my skin and made it look so much better! I am 34 years old and was starting to get fine lines and it has done wonders for those as well. Hands down the best product I have tried and I have tried many products. This is literally the only thing that made me see this big of a difference in my lines. Just my personal opinion though. And to be fair I have only been using this for about a month. Maybe my opinion will change with long term use as some of the ingredients are known to cause dry skin over time.

[@darleneborden53]

Same. I love this product. I have been using this for about a year and a half and saw almost instant results when I first trued it from a sample. I'm 43 and often get compliments on my skin, but have gotten even more since using this. People who know me have even commented on how my skin glows more now and i really think its from this.

[@sabrinashelton1997]

What moisturizer do you use over it?

[@alaiaadam5767]

*I agree a 100 % ! Nothing beats this one ☝🏻 QUEEN 👸🏻 of all anti aging products. I use bottle once a year and it has me covered for a coming year.* *31 year old, been using since I was 23*

[@ayushiagrawal9992]

Couldn’t agree more with this review. I used a complimentary sample , my skin is dry and it caused breakage in my skin and I could see dullness in my skin tone.

[@magdavallarino110]

I love Genefique, has done great to my skin

[@diamonddiaries9052]

You look amazing today ! Youthful and bright

[@Ellie-es4ms]

I use this product , it’s nice only in colder weather. In summer, it’s so hot and I avoid serum all together. I have used the Estée Lauder serum, they have fragrance which is not pleasant, specially the new version of advanced night repair, like terrible cheap perfumes. The only product I love from Estée Lauder is the anti oxidant day wear and it has smell of fresh cucumber.

[@lovebeauty7713]

L'ancome now has a Genifique Sensitive with no alcohol in it. Could you do a review on it too, please?

[@NOBSBeauty]

Oooh I didn't realize that- going to have to check it out- I saw they have some on sale at Macy's today so I'll have to see if that is one of them!

[@marynall7280]

I did not want to like this product, because as you said it is expensive. Alas, I do. I only use it during the day, but it has made such a difference in my 63 year old skin. I have purchased the Isintree to try and hope it will be as good. If I use my other skincare with it, I do not notice it being drying. Hope the dupe works but if not I will continue to purchase.

[@nativedoll3557]

I have the Lancôme advanced Génifique youth activating concentrate is this the same product it looks the same

[@barbaramelady110]

HI! Would YOU do review of Lancome RENERGIE cream and serum,ty xo

[@classyconversationswithrho344]

I did order it but seeing a lot of negative reviews. I tried to cancel my order but it shipped. Thank you

[@NOBSBeauty]

Maybe it will work out well for you, keep me posted. Sometimes you never know until you try it.

[@classyconversationswithrho344]

I totally agree with your review. Why spend more when you can get a better product, for a better price. As I said before I did a lot of research. Every dermatologist agrees, with your review. They say the same thing about the alcohol and the fragrance. As well the cost. Thank you

[@bluvaldes504]

Thanks! I didn't realize this serum had so many anti-sensitive skin ingredients. I had to get a straight opinion like yours because I always thought that Lancome would be better working because where it is sold( high end stores) and from France. And always thought Foreign and expensive skincare lines where the bomb, especially because most people don't know that Loreal is owned by Lancome.

[@pamelahartman4952]

Actually, Lancome is owned by L'Oreal

[@tomjones2157]

I brought the largest size bottle and I did not see any improvements in over 4 months. I thought my skin looked slightly worse. I didn't realise it has alcohol

[@nativedoll3557]

I use this product and like it and noticed a difference first week but as with most products I start every other day to see how my skin does and that works best with this product my skin is normal to dry and still have no issues with this product i was pleasantly surprised I’ve always thought the more expensive a product is it’s usually filled with stuff that either irritating or not worth the hype but for me it’s ok but I do use the Estée Lauder advanced night repair and with stick to that once this is gone but overall it was ok and ty for review I agree with everything you mentioned

[@memorialspiritualchristian1097]

TIP: The bottle is designed to automatically load when you close it then reopen it the dome raises, pulling product into the dropper. You then squeeze out the pre measured amount.

[@ITSMRLADY]

Just found your channel and I have to say I love how well spoken you are, and well informed. Also loved the camera movement, it made the video very relaxing to watch lol.

[@NOBSBeauty]

Oh so glad you found me here and thank you for your kind comments- made my day! 😃

[@autmun42]

HSN is having a massive sale on Lancome

[@renar3618]

I just got this product and have not used it yet. I'm going to take close-up pics of my face before I begin, and compare in a week. I just turned 64. I'm told I look younger, but I think my facial skin looks dull and old.

[@vero4leon]

There’s a video comparing real and fake bottles .. and this one looks like it’s not authentic.. hope this helps

[@Blueberry1776]

You look amazing! Glowing skin!

[@pascalhumbert97]

Yeah i don't love EtOH in high concentration in skincare, but it's quite important in chemical sunscreens in particular, not so much physical ones. It helps evenly disperse high molecular weight filters through whatever vehicle it's in, LRP made their formulation so well, and the alcohol's 6th on the INCI list x

[@vuyelwampala7556]

Your skin looks amazing.

[@dianeriv5838]

I slmost purchased this and glad I did not. I don’t want alcohol on my skin, defeats them purpose. Please tell me which Kay beauty serums you mentioned that are better. I need an anti aging serum.

[@NOBSBeauty]

A great alternative to this is the Neogen Real Ferment Micro Serum. If you don't mind fragrance the Lumene Valo Glow Boost Essence or Vitamin C Serum is also a good alternative.

[@LidianaCazola]

I can’t use it , it dries my sling around my eyes and it burned too so I dont like it at all

[@NOBSBeauty]

I think the alcohol it in also stung my eyes a bit as well- my eyes are pretty sensitive.

[@bmackenzie2740]

My mom gave me a bunch of samples of this and I used this twice daily from June to September. I didn’t really see any benefits, I feel like some days it dried my skin out if I had already used some acids or retinols and some days it did burn a little bit. For me it’s not something I’d go buy but I was always curious about it

[@NOBSBeauty]

I know they have a sensitive skin version, that one has a bit less alcohol and looks like it has less fragrance. Next time I might have to check that one out, but for sensitive skin this version can make skin feel drier and more sensitive. It's a bummer, if they eliminated the alcohol all together this could be a much better product.

[@bmackenzie2740]

No BS Beauty I completely agree. I feel like if I’m going to get a product with the bifidus (I’m sure I’m spelling it wrong) in it I’m going to buy from missha. I’ve had a couple products from that brand and it didn’t burn or dry out my skin plus the price. I just can’t see paying what Lancôme asks when missha has pretty much the same thing for a fourth of the cost

[@EstherNathalie190]

Hello miss,i Just love that you say it at it realy is.Thanks have a nice weekend.

[@Estonian4life]

wasn't there a comparison with this and a loreal serum having EXACTLY the same ingredient list?

[@shauntelowe2]

They came out with a sensitive version. Have you tried that one? What are your thoughts on the sensitive? Thank you for the review ❤

[@hefeienterprises5925]

the question is, does it WORK? how to measure this... and if what products do you recommend that should accomplish the same things at a lower price... this stuff is way to expensive for what it is... new to your channel.

[@NOBSBeauty]

So glad you found me here! This product uses Bifida Ferment (a type of yeast extract) to hydrate, soothe, and brighten skin. A lot of people have good luck with it while many find it to be drying due to the high amount of denatured alcohol this contains. I have a few alternatives that, in my opinion, are both better for skin and more affordable. Those that are worth checking out include: The Abib Jericho Rose Bifida Firming Drop Serum (great for dry skin) The Manyo Bifida Ferment Biome Complex Ampoule (great for dry and oily skin) The Numbuzin No. 3 Skin Softening Serum (great for oily skin) The Isntree Real Bifida Ferment Ampoule (great for dry skin) And if you don't mind denatured alcohol the L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Concentrated Serum, which I would say is geared towards drier skin types. I'll have to do a Dupes/Alternatives video for this product because it is so expensive and there are so many wonderful alternatives!

[@el705]

i respect your opinion, and yes, Lauder's is wayyyy better. But the Genefique claims some special procesing for their bifidus that regulates the microbiome. I am not a huge Lancome user, but I do like this product. I am glad you said the alcohol's effects are lessened with the added hydrating ingredients in the serum. The alcohol evaporates quickly, anyway.

I had the same issue it dried and irritated my face due to the alcohol denat. The thing is the amount in 1 dropper isn't that much it's like a pea size amount, don't get why it's so irritating.

Kind of a bummer- this one seems to be a holy grail product for so many people but I just couldn't make my skin like this one.

@@trishpugelli5371 silly me I guess. Started listening to all these youtubers and the drama about fragrance and alcohols. My skin is perfect and from combining C serum with whatever toner to using stuff with fragrance and alcohols for years on and on. I always get compliments from strangers about my skin. guys in their 20's approached me thinking I was like 22 (I'm 37) I gotta say I have noticed some changes in lines and plumpness of my cheeks since I stopped using Lancôme Serum. The eye cream I combined with Kiehls midnight recovery (little blue tube) and it's a holy grail.

I don’t like this serum at all. It’s did nothing for my skin other than break me out and so did the Este Lauder one which is a shame because they charge so much for these for them not to work for me anyways. I do use & love the Good Skin Days probiotic moisturizer with the lysate bifida in it, I do use it like a first layer. Thanks for reviewing Sarah. ❤️

[@kuga7423]

Usually purging happens when the skin is "puking" the "trash" out of the skin. It lasts for about 2-4 weeks depends on the skin condition. I had purging only when i started use retinol, it was bad but i keep using it and now i have luminous and even coloured skin. You shouldn't stop using a product just because of the break outs. Find more information about each products before using it and know more about own skin.

[@lillianwong4595]

I just tried the Medicube Glass Glow Toner (Essence) 2.0. OMG it blows my mind it's so good. BUT... it has fragrance... You should give it a try because I am sure you will love it and would like to know your thoughts ;)

[@midlifemom5829]

While I appreciate your channel and videos. Given that you review a new product every day, Im trying to comprehend how you are able to adequately test all the products come to a fair review.

[@midlifemom5829]

August , i dont mean good/bad in terms of ingredients. We can all read labels. What I mean is reviews in effectiveness. It is a very helpful channel in doing the prepwork in reading labels. Its the efficacy I am interested in. And yes, I know all skin types are unique, and respond differently, etc. Just curious on how long each product is used before a review is put out. Just a simple honest question is all. Just a consumer trying to make the best decision with all the information out there. That’s all

[@sk0616]

@@midlifemom5829 personally, i can decide whether or not i want to buy a product based on reading the ingredients in cosdna or something...... there's so many good skin care products out there that if an ingredient list doesn't look good to me, then I just look at other similar products with a better looking list of ingredients to try

[@midlifemom5829]

An example is CeraVe. It is touted by various KZbinrs as effective with safe ingredients, yet many consumers have shared that some of its products sting . Just saying that everyone responds differently to products no matter how safe the ingredient list appears. That’s all . Nothing meant by my original comment but appears some quick to take offense by it. That’s ok though, it seems like the pattern in the world these days. Sigh

I don't buy anything from Lancome. Their products are overpriced and not exciting // However I really like Bifida Ferment Lysate - very promising ingredient. I am using Isntree Bifida Ampoule and loving it 💚

[@kellbell2581]

Lancome is a ripoff and I really regret all of the money I wasted on their products over the years. (Mostly on Genefique.) Thankfully, I now understand ingredients much better and I no longer fall for the marketing, the slick ads and false claims. I am lucky to have good skin, but it was staying out of the sun and not smoking, that I mostly thank for that. These days I use the Hungarian brand, Geek & Gorgeous -their azalaic acid for my mild roseacea and their retinal, some Korean skin care - I'm loving centella products and Missha's Time Revolution First Treatment Essence. I use good old Cerave cleansers and moisturizers. Oh, and sunscreen, use your sunscreen please. 😊 Thank you for sharing your research and knowledge! It helps us to make informed decisions on how to spend our skincare dollars and get the results we are looking for.
