Advanced Génifique Eye Light Pearl – Instead of tapping the product on with your pinkie, this eye serum comes with a 360-degree eye massage applicator. The serum is meant to leave the eye area looking brighter and firmer. Lancôme Génifique started with just the serum but now includes a small range of products. After cleansing, apply one drop of Advanced Génifique Serum evenly across your face and neck and gently massage in the formula. I’m finding that my foundation is now sitting on my skin nicely and not flaking off my face or clinging to dry patches (’cause there’s none to cling to… HA!). I also feel like I don’t need to go in with a concealer to tackle those red spots around my nose, because my skin looks pretty even and isn’t acting all irritated and bitchy, for once.
Citronellol is a very common fragrance ingredient with a nice rose-like odor. In the UK, it’s actually the third most often listed perfume on the ingredient lists. There is not much info about this guy in itself other than it helps to thicken up products and stabilize oil-in-water emulsions.
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 Estee Lauder makeup 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 formula has been created for anyone who wants to improve their skin barrier or notices that their skin is imbalanced. Factors for the latter can arrive in the form of common skin concerns like dryness, redness, and sensitivity. To be used both in the mornings and evenings, Lancôme’s Advanced Génifique genifique should ideally be the first step after cleansing and before an anti-aging product or hydrating cream. A symbol of quintessential French elegance and femininity, Lancôme was created by Armand Petitjean in 1935 with the unique, universal desire of revealing the beauty and radiance of each and every woman.
It applies nicely but can feel a bit heavy so a little goes a long way. Again, the formulation is heavy on the silicones and it also contains drying alcohol and PTFE (aka Teflon, the same stuff used on non-stick pans), a very questionable ingredient used to add a slippery texture to the cream. I know this is a pervasive problem with a lot of high-end skincare brands but I think it’s time for changes, which can start with Lancôme. Developed after 20 years of the most advanced research, Lancôme’s iconic anti-aging face serum –Advanced Génifique has been updated with a complex of 7 pre and probiotic fractions to act on the skin microbiome. Enriched with millions of probiotic fractions, the lightweight serum helps to strengthen your skin’s barrier and improve your skin’s texture, radiance, elasticity and firmness with no oily residue. In just 7 days, you have visibly younger and radiant skin.

Concerned with some of the ingredients, firstly the bio-xxxz, because not sure what they accomplish anything with Sodium Benzoate a preservative pickling agent. The Genifique range with this particular serum seems very popular but also somewhat controversial (mostly due to armchair chemists criticising the inclusion of alcohol and/or HEPES), but I’ve not…
Let’s not forget Rihanna’s infamous CFDA dress either. The girl rocked a completely sheer dress without a bra — and later remarked that her only regret was not wearing a bedazzled thong to match. Then, there was the year 2015, when the Met Gala saw not one nor two but three naked dresses on the red carpet, all worn by Hollywood’s hottest A-listers. Jennifer Lopez, above, bared her famous curves in a custom Atelier Versace illusion gown. And Kim Kardashian West almost looked modest in comparison in her sheer Roberto Cavalli dress, because no one’s getting naked without KKW joining in.
