Lancôme Advanced Génifique Night Cream

A couple of weeks ago Lancôme kindly sent me a jar of their reformulated Advanced Génifique Night Cream.

The new formula is inspired by microbiome science to help boost the power of overnight repair. 

It is luxuriously packaged in a hefty glass jar, topped with a mirrored lid over which a clear domed top sits, which features a Lancôme rose logo detail. Also features a stopper inside to avoid spillage. 

Notable ingredients include Bifida Ferment Lysate, Glycerin, Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax, Sunflower Seed Wax, Yacon Root Juice, Ceramide NP, Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Salicyloyl Phytosphingosine, 2-Oleamido-1,3-Octadecanediol, Adenosine, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Hydroxypalmitoyl Sphinganine, Capryolyl Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, Lactobacillus, Faex Extract, Beeswax and Tocopherol. 

The Lancôme Advanced Génifique Night Cream is very emollient thanks to the use of several natural origin waxes, as well as diverse ceramides. It is also hydrating with Gycerin, Alpha-Glucan, Lactic and Hyaluronic Acid. Adenosine, Vitamin C and E provide antiaging as well as antioxidant properties; while pre and probiotics soothe and repair the skin barrier. 

Despite the numerous occlusive ingredients it never feels heavy or greasy on the skin and any breakouts are prevented by the inclusion of exfoliating LHA.

After suffering consistently with redness and tightness on my facial skin for over a year, I believe it was caused by an impaired barrier and can attest to the skin barrier-repairing properties of the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Night Cream. 

I have been using the Génifique Night Cream for a while now and I really enjoy how nourishing it feels on my skin, with an occlusive yet breathable texture. It also seems to reduce redness considerably, which I love!

While it may be on the pricier side of the scale, only a small pea sized amount is needed to cover the entire face and neck, so cost per use is heavily reduced. 

The only thing is that I would have loved to see a small spatula included for an easier and more luxuriously hygienic way of dispensing the product.

Overall, a great night cream featuring some of my current favourite skincare ingredients (probiotics and ceramides), with a beautiful rich texture and pleasant delicate orange blossom scent that efficiently nourishes and reduces redness while repairing the skin barrier. 

If that sounds like something your skin needs then I would definitely recommend the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Night Cream.
