Givenchy Vax'in For Youth

What it is:An age-defying youth infusion serum.What it does:This vaccine-like serum is formulated with a unique complex capable of generating micro-stimuli, which encourage the skin's cells to produce their own age-defying protein HSP70. The velvety, non-greasy formula preserves the skin's youthful appearance, strengthens and repairs the skin's defense mechanisms, and slows down wrinkle formation for a more luminous complexion.What else you need to know:The serum's complex is the result of an exceptional collaboration with world-renowned, aging biogerontologist Pr Suresh Rattan. It is also a new and major scientific discovery of the hormesis phenomenon, proved in the field of body aging, applied for the first time to the field of skin aging, and reproduced for skincare. The complex has a wide-reaching performance that has an effect on all of the skin's components. Research results:In a study conducted by biogerontologist Pr Suresh Rattan, results concluded that after six hours, the production of HSP70 increases by 24%, which is proportionate to the skin cells' daily needs. The cutaneous resistance to signs of aging is therefore increased.After Application:-Skin is immediately smooth and velvety, incredibly transformed.-95% of women overwhelmingly appreciate the Youth Infusion Serum.-87% rated their skin as luminous.-After seven days, 82% confirmed that their skin is re-armed and its youthfulness protected.Footnotes: 1 Tested in vitro / 2 Measured test realized on one side of the face with the product (treated zone) and placebo on the other side of the face (non-treated zone), four weeks, 18 women / 3 Instrumental test, measured 48 hours after aggressive washing, 10 women / 4 Self-evaluation test, four weeks, 58 women / 5 Self-evaluation test, 4 weeks, 30 women / 6 Self-evaluation test, after seven days, 60 women.Sephora is the exclusive beauty retailer for this product.

It works!
-12.28.12
I am 75 and was looking to smooth the wrinkles on my cheeks. This product does not work overnight. It is expensive but I decided to stick with it.
Six weeks into the treatment, I can see a huge improvement.
I use it twice a day faithfully, under my moisturizer.
Vax'in works for me, I love it.

Terrible for sensitive skin
-08.15.11
Made my skin flare up and caused these red bumps all over. Didn't make a difference in "youthinizing" my skin either.

Returned it

Did not see the "dramatic" results I was promised, nor did I see any change at all. Can think of so many ways I'd rather spend $90

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening
I tried this product as a sample and loved the result so much I had to but it. It is expensive however a little goes a long way. My skin can get very oily by midday and for that reason it usually doesnt do well with serums, but with this it feels balanced, my pores instantly appear smaller, it feels smooth and it takes the redness out of my rosacia. GREAT product- highly recommend!

Love this serum!
-05.30.11
Quick Take: tightening, anti-infammatory
I work really long hours (15 hours a day) and always look like I haven't slept in 100 years (probably because I haven't) and this product makes me feel better and its the only one I have used that has actually worked enough to make a difference. I love it and continue to use it...best one I have used.

nothing special
-05.03.11
Quick Take: did not work
I was very excited after trying out Vax'in sample and hurried to buy the full size product. Unfortunately, I did return it, as it equaled regular moisturizer. Not a serum by any means. Sorry, did not work for me.

unusable cover- package
-04.18.11
I am not sure about that product if it's good or bad ! Because I can not reach that infusion serum from product case! I did everything which is written in instructions manual - instruction for use. I mean unscrew the cap and I pressed gently as they said, then I removed the cap and then pressed again but didn't come any serume ! I did it over and over, I tryed different press combination but there was no way to reach the product as much as I want ! ! Every time I pressed just comes 1 ( ONE ! ) drop serum. I hate it. Product can be helpful ? for skin but sure package- cover is super unusable !

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative
Best serum ever. Light, effective, serious. I don't go without this: it wakes tired skin, smoothes and calms my sensitive skin all whilst plumping and boosting my moisturizer.

So Smooth
-03.21.11
Quick Take: preventative
This is one of my favorite night serums. I have worn it during the day, but feel more comfortable using it at night since it is a little more creamy than my day serums. It is almost like a milky or coconut-like substance, but absorbs rather quickly and still thin enough to layer a heavier night cream over it. It doesn't cause your face to feel tight at all like some other anti-aging serums (could be good or bad depending). It has a great smell that is very potent so if you're sensitive this may not be for you. I have noticed an overall improvement in the skin, but can't report much on wrinkles specifically. Plus I rotate this serum every other night with Peter Thomas Roth FirmX. Overall, I just like how it feels on and how I look in the morning, so I will continue to use it as a preventative measure.

Absolutely Awful
-03.05.11
Quick Take: useless, does nothing
This did absolutely nothing. Another one of those expensive "miracle workers" that does nothing. I have been using this for 6 months, and finally gave up on it. My skin is not in better condition at all. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Most amazing serum of all time
-01.16.11
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, dimishes fine lines
I'm almost done with my first bottle and I have to say that this is the best serum I have tried so far and it has taken my skin to the next level. My skin much, much softer, skin feels tight, less breakouts, fine lines around eyes have disappeared. At first, I had problems with the dropper as well, but figured out that if you squeeze the top once, before using the serum, the perfect amount dispenses after I open the bottle. I've been using this serum all over my face, around my eyes and on my neck morning and night after my clarisonic. I love the fragrance and how fast my skin absorbs it.

anti-inflammatory - my favorite product on Sephora
-01.14.11
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, dimishes fine lines, firming, anti-inflammatory, excellent for ages 25 and over, shrinks skin tags, excellent for sensitive skin, excellent for redness, addictive
At first, like many, I did not like the applicator. Yet I don't care anymore. With my recent VIB coupon (10% off) I just bought my 2nd bottle. The vanilla fragrance is lovely. But more so, I am thrilled that Vaxin is helping to shrink 2 small skin tags on the lower corner of my eye, above my cheekbone. I dont use everyday. I use sparingly, then apply Murad Night Cream.
Originally, I bought this for the clinical trials and the statement that Vaxin's formula is designed to help increase the effectiveness of my skin's inherent anti-aging abilities.
I saw results in about 10 days. After about 6 applications. Skin firmer, especially at neck and chinbone.
Undereye finelines - gone. Around lip fine lines, gone,
skin tags shrunk! I am a happy lady.
I do not use everyday because as with all vitamins and herbs, skin formulas, its important to me that my body does not lose any of its abilities due to relying on a supplement. Thank you, Sephora, Thank you Givenchy.
Yes, it is an investment however, I rather have this one special product than three or four other products for lesser price. In the end, this saves me money, and counter space!

Pros-
improvement in the appearance of skin tone and texture
Cons-
the heavy fragrance. I am sensitive to perfume and the strong scent made my eyes water.
I love the results, but the smell made daily application of this impossible for me.
