- Q
Can this product be used with a brightening serum? If yes, what order should the product be applied?
- Asked by MsLady
- Official Answer By Lancome - BEHello! Thank you for your interest in our Génifique Ultimate Recovery Serum with Beta-Glucan. This serum can certainly be incorporated with other serums. However, we always recommend reviewing the ingredient lists of all products you intend to layer to ensure optimal compatibility and efficacy.

- Asked by Sarah
- Official Answer By Lancome - BEHello! Thank you for your interest in our Génifique Ultimate Recovery Serum. For sensitivities, always review the ingredient list to ensure suitability.

- Q
Does this replace vitamin C serums?
- Asked by Lisa
- Official Answer By Lancome - BEHello! Our Génifique Ultimate Recovery Serum, while containing Vitamin C, doesn't necessarily replace a dedicated Vitamin C serum, as it focuses on broader skin concerns like hydration and recovery. Whether it's a suitable replacement depends on the Vitamin C concentration in your existing routine. You can use both products, perhaps using Génifique in the morning and your Vitamin C serum at night (or vice-versa). Always patch test new products and use SPF.Was this answer helpful to you

Are there contraindications to using this with a retinol cream?

While our Advanced Génifique Serum and retinol can generally be used together, some individuals might experience increased sensitivity when combining actives. We recommend starting slowly, perhaps using them on alternate nights, and observing how your skin reacts.

They can help determine the best approach for your individual needs and minimize the risk of irritation.Was this answer helpful to you

When it comes to skincare, the right serum can make all the difference in achieving radiant, youthful skin.

Luxury moisturizing serum
Lancôme Génifique Ultimate Augmented Serum has a luxurious formula that promises to enhance skin radiance and reduce visible signs of aging. However, as someone who carefully analyzes ingredient lists, I have mixed feelings about this product. One key observation is that dimethicone appears as the 6...

Non-greasy serum that absorbs quickly.
I am 40 and I have combination skin, with a few fine lines on my forehead. My T zone gets oily throughout the day. This serum is lightweight and absorbs very quickly. It has a silky texture and is non-greasy. I'm sensitive to fragrances, but I didn't notice one with this serum. My skin feels refreshed and tightened after using this product. The area on my forehead that has fine lines also looks "plumped", as the lines are less visible. I've used various serums throughout the years, but this one definitely stands out. Most of them leave my skin feeling oily. This one doesn't. The results are visible and I can feel the difference after applying this serum.

My favorite serum of the moment
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Loving the Lancôme Génifique Ultimate Serum ✨ Super lightweight, absorbs fast, and leaves my skin feeling smooth, hydrated, and glowy over time. It's perfect for a fresh, healthy-skin look, but keep in mind it's on the pricier side and results are more gradual rather than instant. Still a great everyday serum if you love effortless glow. For me it's a holy grail in a bottle

Genefique serum by Lancôme
It is a great serum I use it every day.
LOVE this stuff!!
This has been a main staple of my beauty routine for a very long time. I absolutely LOVE this serum! I have extremely sensitive skin that is prone to breaking out with many products. I had tried countless products before i finally found this. I have never broken out with this! In fact, this healed and corrected a lot of the damage done by other products! I continue to use it daily and my skin is better than ever! This is the main staple in my routine and i wouldn't want to live without it. Although it is expensive, it lasts a long time since you only need a little bit.. it goes a long way! I spent so much money trying to find something that was "less expensive" when I should have started with this knowing Lancôme is such a great, quality company! I say invest in something that works! I HIGHLY recommend this product!
Smooth Skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this Lancôme Serum! Keep a bottle in the fridge for an instant refreshing feeling. Mix a drop into your foundation. Put a small drop on to dry lips before you apply lip liner and lipstick to smooth the lines on the lips. It does everything. Packaging is nice. It feels great on your skin. It smells decent. Great product.
