Quick Take: moisturizing, tightening, smoothing
I've used this serum for almost two years and I'll NEVER go without it. I've tried nearly every serum, cream, filler, etc. on the market and this product is the best. I don't typically write reviews but had to share. Sephora gives this out as a sample or gift quite a bit--a must try.

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I have been struggling with dry skin since November. I use a retinol product and a AHA but have never had a problem with dry skin. I have tried a lot of products ranging from night creams to heavier creams meant for eczema with no long term result.
This was recommended to me by a friend, and I was skeptical that it would work but I am willing to try anything at this point. Much to my surprise, within 24 hours this helped alleviate a lot of the dry skin on my face. I do still use retinol and exfoliation but this product, coupled with my regular face cream have done the trick. You don't need a lot, it has a soft pleasant smell.

Love this stuff!
-12.29.12
Quick Take: hydrating
I tried this product a year ago and it is a mainstay in my makeup regimen - I really notice the difference in my skin having used it, and even though it is pricey, it lasts a long time - so that makes it pretty reasonable - esp since it does such a fantastic job - I have a noticeable difference in wrinkles around my eyes and mouth.

Softening
-12.16.12
Quick Take: hydrating, softening
I got a sample of this and must say, it's the ONLY serum I have ever tried that I have ever noticed an improvement in my skin. I put it on at night and in the morning, my skin feels soft and healthy! I have oily skin and this product does not cause any kind of issues. I'm not sure if it helps with my blemishes but it definitely improves my skin in other ways and does not contribute to the oil problem as other moisturizers i've tried had. I recommend this product!

Très Genifique!
-12.03.12
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I love that Lancome came out with a cream serum that's perfectly moisturizing enough for those with oily/combination skin. My skin is combination year-round, but in the winter time, it tends to get a little dryer and I need a little more moisture than usual, but not too much! This is the perfect solution! When I'm in a rush at night or just too tired to go through my whole skin routine, I know I'm getting the benefits of the serum and a good boost of moisture from the cream aspect. It is truly nourishing, and the scent is polite and subtle, just strong enough to relax and lull me to bed at night. Highly recommended!

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, pore minimizing
I got this last month in a small sample bottle. The first few days I've used it I started seeing results already. My skin felt sooo soft and smooth. Visible pores started to be fine. I just loved how my face felt and looked since using it. And I've been using the sample bottle for like a month now and I still have a quarter of it, so it does last quiet a while. I didn't need to convince myself to get the full size bottle even before I ran out of it. So happy I found this. This will definitely be forever part of my beauty regimen. Love it. It's worth every penny. You only need a few drops every morning and every night and you're set!

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, skin clearing, helps with sensitivity
I don't write reviews for anything because most products are never impressive to me. But I can say Genefique has really transformed my skin for the better. And I hope my review can help someone who has skin problems like me.
I have always had sensitivity issues with my skin (red, itchy, with acne). I have used numerous products from all natural to very expensive, to OTC. Nothing has really worked. BUT genefique has. I have been using it for 8 months now (along with lancome's visionaire), and I cannot be more grateful for how amazing my skin feels. My skin is soft, clear, and most importantly comfortable. I I hardly have any acne except for maybe 1 or 2 pimples during my period (i have never been acne free for this long). I used to wear makeup all the time to cover up all my flaws, but now i can go out with no makeup!
I get compliments on my skin all the time now. My BF is always telling me how my skin feels baby soft. I know this product is kind of pricey and to be honest, everytime I purchase it, i feel semi-guilty. But I cannot live without this serum right now because it REALLY WORKS!! and for what it has given me (my confidence), it's totally worth it!
Please give this product a try if you are having problems with sensitivity, redness, and acne.

Quick Take: tightening, dimishes fine lines, makes skin glow
This serum not only made the lines at the corners of my eyes less pronounced but it made the lines on my forehead nonexistent! I tried this as a deluxe sample which lasted almost a month and then ordered the full size so I wouldn't run out. It has made my skin smoother, softer, and glowing as well! Goes on very smooth and absorbs quickly! I love it!

Quick Take: tightening, preventative, dimishes fine lines
I just recently turned 25 and had never used a preventive product for my face because I did not feel the need to, but as of recently I noticed that I was starting to see slight wrinkles when I would frown in between my brows. I went to a department store searching for something to combat these wrinkles that were just starting to manifest themselves on my face. I went to the clinique counter, dior, shiseido you name it I tried it, I finally ended up at the Lancome counter and OH MY GOSH!! As soon as the attendant sampled this stuff on my hand, I fell in love... I have been using it for a month now and I must say my skin tone evened out, my pores shrinked and those frown wrinkles GONE! So for anyone looking for a good serum, look no further this is what you have been waiting for!! I purchased this product along with the High Resolution 3X Day Cream and this stuff is miraculous to say the least, will not stop using the Lancome Skin Care Line, plus got lots of decent size freebies including the Tonique Radiance (Toner) and Creme Radience (Cleaner) and they are also work wonderfully...will buy this again hopefully within a good couple of months because the price is a little crazy, but well worth it.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, creates smoothness
Okay, don't expect miracles without a medical procedure...but for a bottle of substance, this IS great stuff. I've been using it for about six months now, and will continue to use it until they no longer make it. I will turn 40 next month, and I feel like my skin looks as smooth and supple as when I was in my mid-20s. Of course, I also stay out of the sun, now, and don't over-clease my skin. This is definitely a good buy. An investment. But, you only get one face. You really should take care of it!

Quick Take: tightening, preventative, dimishes fine lines
After I had my daughter my skin was dry, flaky, oily, looked dull with occasional break outs.Weird......I never knew skin could take on such drastic changes. I've tried many different facial creams and other natural remedies, nothing really worked in the long run. A girlfriend of mine raved about the Genefique product and her skin looked so youthful and plump. At this point I was willing to give anything a try, but I was skeptical, and not too sure about paying the price. After using the product for the first week I was worried it wasn't helping my skin, not really seeing a difference. By the second week I saw a face I hadn't seen in a long time. My skin tone is acne free, smooth, even toned and youthful looking again. Genefique really became my fountain of youth.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening
I had a couple of samples of this and used it every day while on a 10 day vacation to Palm Springs last month. When I returned to work my co-workers kept commenting on how good I looked and how I must have gotten a lot of rest! I know it was because my skin looked better. I just bought a jar and started using it and plan to keep on using it. I am on the other side of 50 and my skin isn't looking like it!
