Lancôme Advanced Génifique Sensitive Serum

Having sensitive skin can be a right royal pain in the face, but lucky for us Lancôme have come to the rescue with their brand spanking new Advanced Génifique Sensitive Serum.

Inspired by microbiome science, the iconic Génifique serum has now been reformulated to make it suitable for even the most complex and sensitive skin.

 

 

Proven to strengthen your skins barrier and instantly soothe stressed skin, Génifique Sensitive responds to your skins distress signals by helping to bolster your skins barrier function and protect against daily aggressors.

Its unique formula combines two active concentrates to enable it to meet the specific demands of skin experiencing sensitivity.

Sensitivity can occur as the result of a multitude of different elements. 

 

Stress, seasonal changes, humidity, central heating and pollution are but a few of the common triggers which can put pressure on your skins ability to function healthily and can lead to visible signs of irritation.

These stressors can cause the microbiome which supports skins defence mechanisms to become imbalanced and less capable of protecting your skins delicate natural defences, resulting in dryness, redness and discomfort.

This unique treatment features TWO active concentrates, deliberately separated until first use to ensure their freshness.

 

The first component is the serum base, enriched with 7 pre and probiotic derived extracts to boost the skins microbiome while hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates and plumps the skin.

The second concentrate, the ‘Active Blue Booster’ contains  Ferulic acid and Vitamin E to soothe your skin while delivering potent antioxidant protection against free radical damage.

 

The result is softer, firmer, hydrated, healthier looking skin.

Fancy and fabulous to look at, you are required to mix the two concentrates yourself and its super easy.

Firstly, push and twist the black cap clockwise to release the blue concentrate into the base concentrate.

 

You’ll see it descent and swirl into the serum base like a beautiful cloud of blueness.

Then, simply shake the bottle until the two concentrates are fully mixed before unscrewing the temporary cap and discarding to replace it instead with the luxurious silver dropper lid.

The serum itself is wonderfully silky and light in texture.

 

It has no real discernible scent, which isn’t that surprising given it has been formulated for sensitive complexions and my skin literally drank it in within minutes of application.

It instantly quenches dry, parched skin without flooding it with hydration and it genuinely makes your skin feel softer to touch.

Designed to be used both morning and night post cleansing and prior to your moisturiser, it just gives your skin a little extra boost when you feel you need it.

 

Perfect for the forthcoming cooler months, it offers an additional layer of comfort, soothes and protects your skin throughout the day.

Lancôme’s new Advanced Génifique Sensitive Serum is available now and costs £61.
