StriVectin’s Super-C Retinol™ Brighten Correct Vitamin C Serum combines the power of two potent ingredients into a lightweight serum. Vitamin C plus acerola cherry extract enhances Lancome makeup a brighter, firmer and more radiant complexion. NIA-114TM, a retinol-boosted ingredient, improves the skin’s smoothness for visibly renewed, glowing and younger-looking skin.
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.
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 Estee Lauder 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.
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 fragrance and fragrance ingredient citronellol pose an additional risk of irritation. Formulyst’s Luminous Skin Serum tackles skin discoloration thanks to Triple Brightening Technology, a powerful blend of naturally derived alpha arbutin , rumex extract and a biomimetic genifique peptide. The serum leaves skin looking lighter, brighter and more luminous. Lancôme Génifique started with just the serum but now includes a small range of products. Born out of 15 years of research, our formula is proven to strengthen skin microbiome.
While making a decision to splurge on an expensive product isn’t exactly easy , I can honestly see why there is so much hype around this cult favourite serum. Because there’s nothing quite like a skincare product that actually ~works~. You see, I did a real number on my skin a while back when I threw on approximately WAY too many acids, consequently messing up my skin barrier. Since then, I’ve struggled with joyful things like redness, flaking and sensitivity. To give you a bit of a background, I would say my major struggle right now is the persistent redness and dryness . As we mentioned, it’s laden with millions of these lil’ skin-loving probiotic fractions, which are meant to have a really positive effect on the skin.
