- 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?
- Asked by KF
- Official Answer By Lancome - BEHello there! 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

What is the difference and purpose between this product and the original genefique?
- Asked by Kim
- Official Answer By Lancome - BEHi there! Thank you for your interest in our Génifique products. Our Génifique Ultimate Recovery Serum is designed to target both the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and to restore the skins natural radiance. It offers a dual-action formula that works both on the surface and deeper layers of the skin to repair and rejuvenate. While our original Advanced Génifique Face Serum is one of our most popular serums and is formulated to activate and accelerate the skin's youthful radiance. It focuses on enhancing skins vitality, improving texture, and reducing the appearance of aging signs. Its often considered an excellent product for maintaining overall skin health and vibrancy. While the Génifique Ultimate Dual-Repair is a more targeted anti-aging serum with a focus on deep skin repair, the Advanced Génifique Face Serum is great for boosting overall skin appearance, giving it a refreshed, youthful glow. We invite you to try the Génifique Ultimate Recovery Serum if you’re looking to achieve a similar youthful radiance and skin texture. Its a fantastic product that many of our customers love, and we're sure it will work well for you!Was this answer helpful to you

Luxury moisturizing serum

Effective at plumping the skin
I really enjoyed the Lancôme Génifique ultimate serum. I received in exchange for my honest review. It was extremely effective at plumping the skin. Product has a smooth thin texture, no scent that I noticed, and it absorbed quickly. I like the sleek packaging.
Pricy but worth it?
I like the way this feels on my skin! Are there products out there for cheaper that would probably make my skin feel this same exact way? Absolutely.
LIKE EIGHT SERUMS IN ONE
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I will say the serum did moisturize my face and get rid of some finer lines. The texture was smooth and absorbed into my skin easily, the smell of it was very light and not over powering and the bottle design was beautiful with a nice mechanic. However my skin is not the target for this product so I didn't get the full benefits I wished to see however I did see change.

Going back to OG
Product piles up too much for me and leaves a sticky after feeling. Did not notice a "plumping" effect like my tried and true HA, which is also a quarter of the cost, bottle did not last near as long either. Smell is not noticeable. Doppler is ridiculously obnoxious to use. Will stick to my OG for future purchases.
Game changer for dry, dull & damaged skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was struggling with textured and dry skin and this product repaired my skin barrier. I believe this is a game changer for anyone who needs to correct dry, dull and damaged skin. Now a permanent part of my skin care routine.
