It’s never too early to take preventative action, especially when it comes to skincare. While slathering on sunscreen is certainly a step in the right direction, sometimes the premature damage we see on our skin, such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and other skin issues, requires a more effective approach.
It can be tricky to know where to start, but here’s a solution that’ll save you hours of research: Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum, a cult-favourite elixir that promises to address the key signs of ageing while deeply hydrating and nourishing the skin.
To find out just how effective the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum is, Daily Vanity invited 10 readers to give us their honest opinions about it. Spoiler alert: the average verdict for the anti-ageing serum was a 4.8-star rating out of 5!
Before we dive into the reviews, let’s learn a little more about the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum.
About Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum
If you’re a skincare enthusiast, you’ll know that Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum is one of the most sought-after serums on the market. In fact, it is the brand’s number one serum for all women of all ages, skin types, and tones.
However, the brand isn’t resting on its laurels after the initial launch of such an iconic serum. Lancôme continues to tinker and advance the technology used in its serum, concocting new renditions of the formula every so often.
It is this commitment to innovation that shows us why Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum is consistently lauded.
This updated formula is Lancôme’s only serum that’s proven to strengthen your microbiome. It does so by delivering 30 million pre- and probiotic fractions to the skin, which are selected and transformed to help spur the growth of beneficial bacteria for healthier, more resilient skin.
In fact, one drop is all it takes to help your skin barrier recover much quicker. Besides the blend of pre- and probiotic fractions, here are the other star ingredients in Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum:
- Bifidus Prebiotic 10%: This beneficial bacteria species feeds the good bacteria on your skin and allows it to thrive.
- Hyaluronic Acid: A sugar molecule that occurs naturally in the skin, hyaluronic acid helps to bind water to collagen, trapping it in the skin to make it plumper, dewier, and more hydrated.
- Vitamin C: An antioxidant that is known to neutralise free radicals, brighten, and smooth the skin. Lancôme’s formula uses Vitamin CG, a water-soluble, stable vitamin C derivative that is known to be gentle on the skin without degrading when exposed to air, heat, or light.
Together, these key ingredients visibly hydrate and plump the skin while evening out your skin tone and softening the appearance of fine lines. Your complexion will look more radiant overall too. In just seven days, you’ll notice smoother, healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Don’t just take our word for it, though. Read on to see what our readers are saying about Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum and how it has changed their complexions.
For optimal results, complete your routine with the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Yeux (right) and the new Advanced Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl™ (left). Both eyecare products work synergistically to brighten dark eye circles, smoothen fine lines, and reduce puffy eye bags.

Skin type: Combination-dry
Skin concerns: Dull skin, dehydrated skin, visible/enlarged pores
Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum has a lightweight, watery texture that’s suitable for Singapore’s humid weather. It is also lightly scented and very gentle on my dry, sensitive skin.
I apply one pump of serum on my skin after cleansing and toning, before moisturising and applying sunscreen during the day or night cream in the evening.
In just one use, my skin felt hydrated and smooth. And after a week, my skin texture felt smoother and more refined. My complexion appears brighter and more radiant too. I have to say, this serum has worked very well for my skin type.
My skin doesn’t feel dry throughout the day. Instead, it leaves my skin feeling moisturised but not sticky or oily. The quality of the serum is superior and it’s very gentle on my skin. In fact, it works very fast to calm my dry, itchy, sensitive skin.
My skin feels refreshed and hydrated after every use, and my skin texture is constantly improving.

Skin concerns: Dehydrated skin
I liked the gel-like texture of Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum – it was easily absorbed into my skin. I’ll use two to three drops of serum and gently massage it on my skin day and night after cleansing.
From the first use, I saw an increase in softness, hydration, and radiance. My skin felt smoother and more supple from the first use too.
The serum is lightweight and I like the smell of it. It really helps to smooth my skin and prep it for the following steps in my routine.

Skin concerns: Dull skin, uneven skin tone, visible/enlarged pores, blackheads/whiteheads, dark under-eye circles
The Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum is lightweight and was quickly absorbed with a gentle massage. It left a very pleasant feeling on my skin upon first application. There was no tingling or tightness, just fresh, soft skin the morning after.
The dropper design of the Advanced Génifique Serum is hygienic and ensured the most ideal amount to be dispensed every single time. I was amazed by how lightweight and fast-absorbing the Genefique Serum was.
Compared to other serums I’ve tried in the past, the results of the Advanced Génifique Serum were much more visible in a shorter period of time. I reaped great benefits from the serum: radiant, supple skin with a more even tone. These are things I couldn’t achieve with other serums.
My pore size as well as my uneven and dull skin tone had been the biggest concerns and I was impressed with how a week’s application of the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum showed visible results. It gave me the confidence to go bare-faced when I’m not wearing my mask.
It worked wonders and is a great overall serum for combination skin. If there is just one serum to buy, the Advanced Génifique Serum is definitely my choice.

Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum is easily dispensed using the dropper and it goes on my skin smoothly without leaving a sticky residue after application. It absorbs into my skin fast and keeps it moisturised.
After a week, my skin felt softer, much more supple, and hydrated. I even saw a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as pimples and blemishes. The serum has worked better for me than other serums I’ve used previously.
I liked how easy it was to incorporate into my skincare routine! The texture is light and quickly absorbed into the skin, so it’s suitable for Singapore’s humid weather. When used twice a day, I could see visible results and it’s definitely brighter and smoother after use.

The consistency of Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum feels smooth but not too watery so it’s easy to apply. The dropper also gives me a good gauge of how much product I should apply to my skin. The serum absorbs fast and doesn’t feel sticky.
My skin felt hydrated and a little plump as well as radiant from the first use. I definitely wanted to continue using this product after trying it for the first time.
A week later, my skin feels much softer and more supple. It feels much more hydrated than before and my skin really feels plumper without getting oily, especially on my T-zone area. My skin looks glowier in the morning and it doesn’t feel dry throughout the day.
This is one of the better serums out there. I’ve used more expensive ones before but I didn’t see results like I did with Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum. I’ll continue to use this serum and hopefully see better results with longer usage.

Now, my skin feels much more hydrated than before. It definitely looks brighter and more radiant than it did before the trial. The serum has worked very well for my skin, and my complexion looks glowier now.
I’ll continue to use it for better results!
