The Advanced Génifique bottle also features an innovative self-loading dropper for the perfect usage amount/per application. With that said, this product also contains a good amount of alcohol denat , in addition to potentially irritating scent ingredients like limonene, citronellol, and fragrance.

My first impression of any product is its packaging and ease of use, and as I’ve written in this column before, I’m obsessed with high-quality droppers and pump mechanisms. I’m happy to report that the Génifique dropper is perfectly engineered.

I haven’t tried it but I have heard many good things about Avon’s equilivant of Estee Lauder makeup. Sorry, I don’t remember the what it’s called, only that it has a similiar name. I’m sure if you ask somebody who sales Avon they will know what I’m talking about.
