I'm 30 now, which means I really should start looking at anti aging products... F that! I'll use a serum now and again but aside from that, I'm hardly OLD! I'm ALWAYS asked for ID and quite recently a 21 year old guy hit on me thinking I was his age - Yusssss! (I politely declined his advances)
Anyways, moving swiftly on...
The bottle is black, looks classy, it just fits the bill in terms of high end skincare. Most impressively is the pippette. I'm a lover of a pippette, I like the style, I like the word, I just like it.
I used roughly half a pipette of this across my face and down my neck and it was pretty slippy, it went a long way. I could even get away with using less, and considering I have a big face, I'm pretty impressed by how long lasting this will be.
It's a definite 'serum' in consistency. It doesn't feel oily or greasy but quenches your skin's thirst. Ahh the word 'quench' is a good un.
I find this sinks into the skin pretty quickly and definitely leaves your complexion looking hydrated and fresh faced. I would use this more at night time than in the morning - Lancome recommends using it twice a day but it's pretty pricey and to make this last longer, I'd use this once a day, which definitely still gives great results.
I used this solidly twice a day per day for a week and saw great results in my skin, it felt hydrated, fresh and my foundation didn't cling or separate at any points. I dropped this back to using it once per day and I still have the same results if I'm honest.
I'm going on holiday to NYC soon and I just know my skin is going to suffer with the air on the plane and the cold polluted NYC air, so this will be a bit of a savior for me. I might even repurchase it whilst I'm over there if it's any cheaper because a lass can never have too many 'back-ups'.
Have you tried out the Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate? Do you know of a cheaper alternative? let me know in the comments below!
