While I can’t speak for tackling wrinkles, I can honestly say this serum packs a real punch on the brightening front, and it’s perfect for those who struggle with dull, uneven skin . Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum promises to promote healthy-looking skin by visibly reducing redness, strengthening the skin’s barrier and protecting skin from the environmental assaults of everyday life (’cause, 2020). Estee Lauder NIGHT REPAIR First, the serum’s latest formula is only slightly better than the original, and the latest formula still contains a potentially irritating amount of alcohol, which is pro-aging .

Morning and night, Apply the face serum on clean dry skin.

What kind of beauty editor would I be if I didn’t pick up any ingredient savviness along the way? Fermented ingredients were my initial gateway into a six-to-10-step skin-care routine ages ago. I was beyond impressed with its ability to rapidly fade hyperpigmentation marks and brighten my overall complexion — it was the first time people actually complimented me on my skin. The Genifique sheet mask is way more versatile than you think.
This ingredient is also found in Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair. Other ingredients include glycerin, a humectant, and hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid. Known as HEPS, it helps establish a neutral pH in water-based skincare products. Packaged in a petite glass jar, the Advanced Génifique Yeux Eye Cream is described as a “brightening eye cream” that “directly combats signs of fatigue such as dark circles, dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles”. Formulated with yeast and bacteria-derived probiotics, the cream has a rich and nourishing texture. It applies nicely but can feel a bit heavy so a little goes a long way.
The serum still does a good job and is worth a try, but it’s far from the only purchase you can make if budget is your priority. Lancôme’s Génifique anti-aging serum has been a hero product of the classic Estee Lauder NIGHT REPAIR beauty brand for years. The new formula claims to visibly improve radiance in just seven days. Four W editors between the ages of mid-20s to late 40s, gave it a try and recorded their honest answers.
Other products often feel thick and goopy underneath makeup, and this doesn’t. I immediately liked the glass bottle and dropper, and especially how little of the serum I had to use . It’s sticky, but only for the 15 seconds or so it takes to dissolve. After that, I don’t notice it, in part because there’s very little scent. Honestly, this product has been my full skin routine, as I don’t wear makeup other than eyeliner and am still on the hunt for a good moisturizer that’s relatively heavy but still summer-appropriate. “I’ve been using this serum for a little over a year and I can’t tell you how much of a drastic improvement it has made in my skin,” said another customer.
