"The Lancôme Advanced Génifique serum is a genuinely lovely serum. It's lightweight, sinks in beautifully, leaves your skin feeling really hydrated, bouncy, and a little more radiant. That cosmetic elegance is a big part of what you're paying for, and Lancôme does it really well. [...] It's hydrating and supporting your barrier with a ferment, hyaluronic acid, and a vitamin C derivative. It's a really nice, gentle everyday step."

"People love the Lancôme Génifique and if it works for you go for it. For me, I just found it kind of drying and irritating. But I guess there's a lot of people that really like it. I mean, it's one of their top sellers, so if it works, go for it."

"Even in this I can smell the denatured alcohol. I'll handle it in sunscreens and things like that, but I just prefer not to use it as little as I can. And it also has fragrance in it, citronella and then fragrance lemon things like that. So overall it does have some nice ingredients in there which I like. I think a lot of people really enjoy some of the ferments, the Bifida ferment."

"The Lancôme Génifique contains a fair amount of denatured alcohol, which is the reason I didn't love it. A lot of people love it, nothing wrong with that, but these products that are alternatives to it don't have that in them, so they're a little more skin friendly, especially sensitive skin friendly."

"I really was not a huge fan of this one but a lot of people like it and use it and have no issues. What I don't like is I didn't find it super hydrating for my skin. It has a fair amount of denatured alcohol in it, which some people don't have any issues with. I can use it a little bit, you know, like if sunscreen's got it, typically a few times a week no issues, but if I use it day in and day out my skin will start to get drier."

"Genefique serum from Lancôme which contains vitamin CG. [...] Vitamin CG is ascorbyl glucoside, it is ascorbic acid with a glucoside attached to it, and that is one of the ones where it's attached in a way that it doesn't turn into an antioxidant until it gets into your skin and an enzyme chops it off. So it is not going to work in these tests because apples just do not have the same enzymes as our skin."

"The Lancôme Génifique serum and cream are kind of another option in terms of a bifida product, similar to the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair. However, Lancôme as a brand seems to have added something into their formula that does not get along with my skin, which is why I can never really give you a good review of Lancôme skincare. Their lotions just irritate my skin, and I've had to accept that it must be something in the fragrance blend they use, since I have certain allergies."

"The Génifique products are probably very nice, they too contain bifida ferment lysate, which I love, but I think their fragrance doesn't work out for me, what a shame."

"I'm going to go in with one more hydrating serum, the Lancôme Génifique. This has the same bifida ferment lysate as the industry one, but basically it like, and I want to finish it off because I don't want to waste the product, otherwise I would have used the bifida ferment one, but because I need to finish off this product I'm using this."

"This is a radiance-boosting serum with bifidus prebiotic. [...] The ingredients in here are not terrible, but in my opinion they're not worth $115. We have a high amount of bifida ferment lysate which is basically a prebiotic that some research has shown helps to strengthen the skin's microbiome and skin barrier. [...] We have some glycerin which is good and hydrating, but it's a basic ingredient, and [...] we have sodium hyaluronate."

"I've been trying out the Lancôme Advanced Génifique that was gifted to me and I don't see any reason to buy this when things like this exist and offer similar hydrating benefits."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
