Lancôme Advanced GÉNIFIQUE Review

A significant cornerstone of youth skincare, the brainchild of Lancôme & with a strong record of accolades like no other, Advanced Genifique is being applauded around the world, and to some, it is known simply as the ‘Little Black Bottle’, evokingmuch elegance and a sense of mystery. But to ALL the women around the world, it is remembered as the highly-acclaimed ‘Genifique’ range.

One fateful day of 2013, Lancôme took their hero range to a higher echelon & introduced the ‘Advanced GÉNIFIQUE’ Youth Activating Concentrate.

Before going into their product, wouldn’t you girls agree that it is important to understand Lancome’s perspective of youth which also motivates their latest product?

This led me to question theirs. Definitely one of the most comprehensive definition I could get. To Lancome, youth is classified under TWO categories:

– ‘Visual youth’ (what other or yourself see in the mirror) &

– ‘Tactile perception’ (what women feel).

And no one of these two qualities precedes over the other because what you see is equally as important as what you feel. There are 10 visual & tactile signs characterized under these two broad categories of youth.

What are they?

For Visual Youth – Fine lines, Coarse Wrinkles, Radiance, Clarity & Eveness.

For Tactile Youth, it is Texture, Resiliency, Tonicity, Firmness & Sagginess.

With these being understood, let’s see how the Lancôme Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate effectively improves these 10 aspects!

Here I have with me are (from left to right):

– Lancôme Advanced GÉNIFIQUE YEUX Light-Pearl™ Eye Illuminator Youth Activating Concentrate

– Lancôme Advanced GÉNIFIQUE YEUX Youth Activating Eye Cream

– Lancôme Advanced GÉNIFIQUE Youth Activating Concentrate





Lancôme Advanced GÉNIFIQUE Youth Activating Concentrate is a powerful anti-aging serum that is formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates, so people who have sensitive skin can use them safely.

I have friends who started their anti-aging regime when they are in their early twenties because like me, they feel that it is not easy to reverse ageing, but you can use skincare to prevent and slow down the physical appearance of ageing.

By the way, a serum is a must-have in your routine if you are serious about skincare. This is why a serum is important, read it and be convinced!

I am actually not as young as I look and I focus a lot on hydrating and anti-ageing products. I gave Lancôme Advanced GÉNIFIQUE Youth Activating Concentrate a try and I have been using it religiously for 2 weeks. My skin looks more radiant and feels at least 50% smoother than without the serum in just 2 short weeks. This is a must-have out of all the beauty products I’ve come across!!





After prolonged use, you will be able to see and feel more improvements like:

Visible Youth:

– Fine lines are diminished by 42%

– Wrinkles are smoothed by 46%

– Increase in radiance, clarity and even skin tone

Tactile Perception:

– Smoother skin by 57%

– Elasticity improved by 50%

– Firmer skin, increased in tonicity and a reduction in sagginess

The entire bottle was so thoughtfully designed that it comes with a self-loading dropper inspired by automatic droppers used in research laboratories to precisely deliver the perfect dose. With one twist, it takes up just the right amount of product for OPTIMAL application so as to ensure that you are not taking more than what you need.





Just drop one drop of serum and spread it evenly across your face after cleansing every day and night. Don’t miss out the neck area too!

The efficacy of other skincare products can also be boosted by 3 times after applying Advanced Génifique as it is a transversal product. This means that it can be used in any skincare regime and with any of your current skincare products.

For me, other than Youth Activating Concentrate, I am also currently giving Lancôme Advanced Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl™ Eye Illuminator Youth Activating Concentrate a try. It has a unique massaging applicator (massage pearl) that reaches out to all the eye areas as it comes with a rotator at the tip.

The skin around the eyes are often one of the first signs of ageing so it is necessary to keep the skin smooth, luminous and Lancôme Advanced Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl can help you achieve younger looking eyes. Just a minute per day is sufficient enough to reduce your eye bags in the morning.

By the way, I just got praised for not having heavy eye bags! I guess this really works well for me 🙂





Lancôme Advanced GÉNIFIQUE YEUX Youth Activating Eye Cream also helps fight visible signs of fatigue like dark circles and fine lines by reactivating signs of youth.

This bottle of Eye Cream is really quite easy to apply. Take an appropriate amount and massage it gently onto the upper and lower eye contour and crow’s feet with the Light-Pearl applicator. The Light-Pearl applicator gives a cooling sensation and its rounded shape fits the eye contours snugly to give the area a good massage.




The texture is nowhere near greasy so you can apply it even in the day (in my opinion).





Sometimes, we are not willing to buy clothes without first sampling them. Isn’t it the same for skincare as well? What if I tell you that you can try Lancôme Advanced Genifique for 7 days? Would you give it a try, love it, and buy it? 🙂
