I went to a beauty/makeup trend show today and they had tons of Lancome stuff that I got to try out. Some thoughts that I wrote in my blog and will reproduce here.. my hand is all cramped from taking notes like mad during the presentations!
Lancome's newest thing seems to be their youth-activating serum, GENEFIQUE
On my skin it looks like this:
A bit background on Lancome---they began in 1935 and began with fragrance and later started a cosmetics/skincare line and they have always been top selling in cosmetics in America and all over the world. This youth-activating concentrate is supposed to be the result of a decade of research and the technology within have 7 different patents! It's supposed to activate special proteins that renew your skin and keep your skin tight and un-blemished and regenerate, and as we get older those proteins stop working so hard and this makes them work better. The line includes both serums and moisturizers for differing needs.
All blended out and absorbed. It absorbed really fast.
I haven't used this yet, because obviously I'm very young and my skin renews itself wonderfully, but on my hand (Which I don't use sunscreen or any sort of moisturizer on at all, so it's nasty and wrinkly already), it certainly did make my skin more supple, smooth, and silky. It felt very good but I'm not sure that I would pay $84 for this serum unless I had a very generous sample and saw that it really worked over the long term.
