Lancome ‘Genifique Repair’ Youth Activating Night Cream ($95)
“Wake up to visibly repaired skin – as if you’ve slept at least two extra hours” – the company claimed, and I was intrigued. “The first morning, skin looks smoother and fresher. Night after night, skin is visibly younger and rested”. All right, let’s see how young and rested my skin is now.
I was slathering this wonder all over my face and neck for a few weeks in a row in an attempt to get my youth back. What I like about it is that it gives skin softness and moisture; and the texture is very light and silky. With this product a little bit goes a long way, a very small amount is enough for me to cover both my face and neck. The scent is almost unnoticeable, which is a big plus in my book.
I didn’t see any difference in smoothness of my skin the morning after I first used the cream, although it seemed like my skin tone improved a bit. But after that it looked exactly the same day after day, without any visible changes. I don’t really have prominent wrinkles yet, but sometimes I wake up in the morning with creases on the cheeks from sleeping on my sides. I try to lie on my back, but I can’t control my own movements when I’m busy watching dreams. With Genifique Repair I don’t have any creases in the morning. So that’s good.
Overall, this night cream is a pretty decent product. Although my youth wasn’t restored, and I wasn’t waking up with my skin looking rested, the cream gave it much needed hydration and softness. It’s worth trying only if you don’t expect fast and drastic changes in your appearance.
