LANCOME ADVANCED GENIFIQUE YOUTH ACTIVATOR

Lancome advanced genifique youth activating concentrate first catch my eyes when I read an article in femaledaily. From that article I knew that this product is one of 5 most favorite serums in femaledaily review, along with advance night repair from estee lauder, midnight recovery concentrate from kiehls, facial treatment essence from SK-II and first care activating serum from sulwhasoo.. But after I did some deep research, I found that this product actually is not a serum, instead it is a booster or a preserum. Since I was so in love with sulwhasoo first care activating serum as my booster, I set aside my desire to try this product. Besides, I heard that lancome advanced genifique youth activating concentrate is pretty expensive.

An opportunity to try this preserum came when lancome held a beauty event in central park mall and give a sample of advanced genifique youth activating concentrate to the visitors. I even got two samples of the product, each in a 5ml tube of sample.

As a booster, I use Lancome advanced genifique youth activating concentrate after I do double toning. It  wins my heart instantly, it even moves sulwhasoo first care activating serum aside from its position. It is absorbed well by my skin, gives instant hydration and brightens my face. When I touch my face, my skin feels smooth and bouncy. It does leave a sticky feeling but still in acceptable level.

The ingredients of this product is : aqua/water, bifida ferment lysate, glyserin, alcohol denat, dimethicone, hydroxyethylpipeazine ethane sulfonic acid, ascorbyl glucoside, sodium hyaluronate, sodium hydroxide, sodium benzoate, phenoxethanol, adenosine, faex extract/yeast extract, PEG-20 methyl glucose, sesquistearate, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil, salicyloyl phytosphingosine, ammonium polyacrydimethylauramide/ammonium polyacrydimethyl taurate, limonene, xanthan gum, caprylyl glycol, disodium edta, octyldodecanol, citronellol, parfum/fragrance.

 

The texture of this product is like a gel. It does give cool sensation when used.

Unfortunately, the price of lancome advanced genifique youth activating concentrate is quite pricey as a booster. It cost idr 700,000 for 20ml. A price that makes me think twice to buy.
