The super-lightweight texture is like a silky cocoon that melts into the skin, leaving behind a glow, satiny finish. And the self loading dropper means you get the correct dosage every single time… no second guessing or wastage. Bifida Ferment Lysate is a probiotic that’s derived from a specific type of yeast obtained by the fermentation of Bifidabacteria. Now, while you may want to avoid yeast and bacteria in your general life, they play an extremely important role in skincare.
Lancôme Génifique says that its users will have smoother, brighter looking skin in just one week. The formula for the serum is patented, and one of the key ingredients is bifidus extract, which Lancôme says helps strengthen and protect skin’s moisture barrier. Some studies suggest that like an antioxidant, it may help prevent damage from UV light and may help soothe sensitive skin, while helping to strengthen the skin’s barrier. The key ingredient is the probiotic bifidus extract, which is thought to boost hydration and protect the skin’s barrier.
The brand wants to help its customers achieve their best looking skin, rather than covering it up with makeup. The comprehensive line of products targets everything from wrinkles to dark spots and dry skin- as well as the delicate eye area. The consistency and feel of the Lancôme Youth Activating Concentrate immediately reminded me of a hyaluronic acid serum—it has an almost slimy texture yet is incredibly absorbent and lightweight. My skin basically drank this serum; it was completely dry to the touch just minutes after application and layered beautifully underneath my moisturizer and foundation. It boasts a very faint citrus scent that almost reminds me of a refreshing laundry detergent . Overall, I’d say the texture and scent fall distinctly into the “pro” column.
The nature of the active ingredients means that your serum will slowly start to become less potent as time goes on, so it’s best to use it daily for a month solid for best results. After it’s finished and your period of sensitisation is eased, you can go back to maintaining your skin with the Estee Lauder makeup Concentrate. A solid product that is here to stay in my skincare routine.
And considering that, we are not recommending as many of their foundations as we have in previously have. Beyond this major gripe, you will discover that Lancome has a well-deserved reputation for their fantastic mascaras, and that their latest powders and eyeshadows apply with a silkiness that makes them gratifying to work with. The rest of the makeup encompasses many valid choices, but before you commit to Lancome, consider the similar options available for less from sister companies L’Oreal and Maybelline New York. Striking a balance among the best of each of these lines will give you first-class makeup that beautifies without breaking the bank.
And I have to say, I think Génifique made my skin look a little firmer and feel slightly softer by week’s end. Formulated with Bifidus Prebiotic, Vitamin Cg and Hyaluronic Acid to visibly smooth, hydrate, even out skin texture. Finally, for an enhanced beauty sleep, pop the Lancome makeup mask on your skin for 30 minutes, taking any of the excess serum down to your neck too. To give your skin a midday boost, it’s best to use this mask without makeup. Wear the sheet mask for 20 minutes, then massage in any excess.
