Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Night Cream

 

This is another negative post about Lancome. I've written before, how I am disappointed in quality of their products for such a high price tag. The jar I have was a deluxe sample (free gift with purchase), since I would never have picked it up myself. Here I just wanted to talk you through ingredient list.

LANCOME Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate

Well, this is an older version of the serum, which they updated to Advanced Genifique. The ingredients still are pretty much the same, especially high concentration of alcohol and lack of skin beneficial ingredients. So I thought to through in this review anyway, but I will try to make it shorter.

Packaging/Pricing: 

30ml (1fl.oz) Packaging is rather hygienic and with opaque bottle will keep ingredients rather safe. Pricing is outrageous (especially for what you actually get) at ~70-80$ US. I generally find most of Lancome skincare quite useless. If you want something luxurious and pricey, better check out Estee Lauder (though nothing that comes in a jar!!).

Discussion:

This is slightly emollient serum with glycerin and hyaluronic acid to prevent moisture loss. It does have Vit C (not very concentrated though), but that's it. Yest extract (which I marked in green kind of against my wish) has no research that proves
