Once
I read a quote: „Sometimes you need
those bad days, to help you appreciate the good ones.“ When we have a bad day it automatically reflects on our
body and skin, particularly on face. Whatever they mean, there's a solution for
bad skin days - Lancôme Advanced
Génifique Sensitive Dual Concentrate Serum, a night guardian who bids them bye-bye.
No
matter how much attention we devout to skin care, bad days are always possible.
Today's life style, a variety of external and internal factors such as travel,
air-conditioning, seasonal changes, air pollution, late nights, fatigue, stress
and hormonal cycles affects the skin and can cause a havoc. All of them,
regardless of age and skin type, result in so-called bad skin day.
Dual Concentrate
serum consists of two parts: Base Concentrate
with a probiotic extract that sooths, revives and amplifies skin radiance and Blue Concentrate with antioxidants which
protects the skin. Both come in one vial but are not joined – two formulas need
to be freshly mixed before use. We must do it ourselves, by pulling and
twisting a cap and release blue into base liquid. It was very interesting to
see how blue and transparent concentrates mix together, which reminded me of a
blend of painting colors. After the blue fluid pours out of pipette, we give
the bottle a quite shake and witness the magic before our eyes: by mutual permeation
the blue color gradually disappears and a gray-silver shade becoms visible
through the glass.
When
the two concentrates are evenly mixed, the formulas are transformed into one
product – our new night saviour. After the whole procedure the cap with blue
concentrate is to be removed and replaced by silver pipette with logo on top,
which we will utilize at each subsequent use. The serum comes in wonderful,
20-milliliter black-pellucid bottle with the above mentioned silver pipette.
Packaging looks very elegant and proves that in Lancôme thought of it as well, about packing that would be worthy
of the quality of product itself.
Freshly
activated Dual Concentrate will help
to soften the skin whenever necessary and, like Advanced Génifique Serum, is enriched with ferment, bifidobacteria
and lactobacilli extract, along with ferulic acid and vitamin E. They provide
instant comfort and reduce dryness, the skin feels soft, smooth, bright and
calm and the bad days become the past!
In
order to properly connect the ingredients, the bottle needs to be lightly
shaken before each use and gray serum on the skin turns translucent, similar to
scented drop of water, with the aroma that whiffs away after application, while
the texture is fresh, plump and fast absorbing. It's recommendable to use the
serum almost every night for a period of 2 months after compounding. Slow
consumption is a great advantage, even though I apply it on my face and
cleavage area.
On
the official site it's suggested to complete the routine in perfect pair combination of employing Advanced Génifique serum, bestseller
that has reached iconic status, in the morning before moisturizing and Advanced Génifique Sensitive over the
night. During the day I'm using Lancôme
Génifique Crème, a daily hydrating cream that with its velvety formula
ensures youthful complexion, softness and vibrant glow.
The
packaging is identical to that of serum, ie black and silver with limpid lower
part. My excitement is adequately expressed in the fact that I depleted all of
it so I can't show you the texture, but I would describe it as creamy and
gelatinous with quick absorbtion and light coating.
As
I wrote before, I prefer serums over night creams because of formulas with high
concentration of nutrients. I'm more than satisfied with this one and I
immediately bought another pack. I apply it as a final step in facial skin
care, every night before bedtime, and wake up with fresh, soft and silky skin.
I don't just use it on bad days, but constantly, so I can tell that my skin is
a stranger to them. Currently I'm not purchasing new Génifique cream as I'm utilizing Dior Hydra Life Sorbet (you can read the review here) and I can
confirm that they remarkably complement each other and take ideal care of my
skin, which looks better every day.
Do
you have bad skin days? Which products do you use? Have you tried Lancôme Génifique cream or Advanced Génifique serum? What are
your impressions? Please write me in the comments?
Till
the next post, all the best!
This quote is so true although fortunately normally my skin is very good. I use serums as well as creams and I would love to win as I want to try out your giveaway!

My skin is also very good, but sometimes I have bad days and then this serum saves me. Which serums and creams do you use? Did you try this one?
DeleteI love that quote and how you related it to our skin because it's so true! No matter how well I take care of my skin I always have bad skin days, and it always makes me appreciate the days when it is good. I've never used this product before, but I find it so interesting that you mix the two parts yourself when you get it. This was such a great review with great details, and I love all of your product photos!

Nikad pre nisam čula za ovaj proizvod, ali mi deluje veoma interesantno zbog samog načina upotrebe. Ja sam neko ko može da potvrdi da se ti loši dani zaista održavaju na naš organizam, pogotovo kožu. Kada god sam pod stresom moja koža lica jednostavno to oseti i onda danima trpim posledice. Mislim da bi ovo bio odličan proizvod za mene. Baš mi se dopada recenzija i zaista si je odlično napisala. Fotke su prelepe! :*

I ja također ponekad imam loše dane, poslije kojih mi je potrebno neko vrijeme da se koža oporavi, te zbog toga nastojim izbjegavati stres koliko je to moguće i njegovati je što bolje.
I was very keen to test, the brand is incredible. Have a great day!

Dear Laura Jane,

This is such a beautifully written post dear and I love how deeply you went into everything talking about the science of the product, life in general, and the world! You really took this to the next level and that makes it really stand out. That quote really stuck with me and I think it's something we should all remind ourselves more of. A quote I read the other day which really stood out to me goes like this, "I didn't loose the gold, I won the silver." I love the idea of the Lancome product how you yourself insert the blue serum into it. I think that is so creative and I will definitely have to check it out!

ReplyDeleteHvala ti puno. Drago mi je čuti da ti se sviđa blog post.
DeleteUkoliko ti se manjak sna odražava na koži, definitivno probaj ovaj serum jer kako u Lancomu navode ovo je serum namjenjen za "loše dane kože" i iz osobnog iskustva mogu potvrditi da stvarno pomaže jer kožu čini punijom, blistavijom i na površinu izlači njen prirodni sjaj i ljepotu.
