About the manufacturer
The French cosmetics company Lancome was created in 1935 by Armand Ptizhan. Produces perfumes, decorative cosmetics and skin care products.
The brand is a recognized leader in the cosmetology industry and uses the latest scientific advances in its production.
The products contain natural substances, unique polymer compounds, biologically active components, proteins and vitamins.
Pros and cons of the line
A clear advantage of Lankom products is their quality, confirmed by production control, numerous studies, and regular checks of compliance with high standards. All the manufacturer’s drugs are perfectly coordinated, give effective results, and do not cause complications.
The disadvantage of Lancome products is the high probability of purchasing a counterfeit product. You can buy a fake at an attractive price, which is what most consumers do. The brand's original drugs are highly expensive. Scattered use of Lancome products (a single product of the line) rarely brings the promised results.
It is recommended to pay attention to Lancome products for those who care about a brand that confirms prestige and concern for the high quality of the products offered. You can get no less pronounced results using more modest analogues. If you have severe skin problems, it is better to pay attention to the offers of brands that produce products for professional use.
Peeling effectiveness
Lancome cleansing peeling can solve many defects: hyperpigmentation, freckles, acne marks, scars, enlarged pores, comedones.
It not only helps get rid of skin imperfections, but also has a rejuvenating effect.
Cleaning activates the processes of regeneration and synthesis of elastin and collagen.
Opinion of cosmetologists
Doctors prefer to use professional brand cosmetics in their work. Lancome is a well-known, widely advertised brand, but the products are designed for the mass consumer, for home care. Cosmetologists are skeptical about such substances.
The cosmetologist believes that Lancome cosmetics are only suitable for masking problems.
The cosmetologist believes that Lancome does not produce results, and the high price is an overpayment for the brand.

Reviews
- Oksana, 32 years old: “I tried the entire line of Hydra Zen products from Lancome. My love for them began with a day cream that my husband presented to me, and then I was drawn into the vastness of this company and has not let go to this day. Although, I must admit, not all remedies are suitable for me, but the fact that they work is clear. At first I liked the packaging: a glass jar, quite impressive in weight, like for a cosmetic product, with a lid on top with a Lancom rosette. For me, not only the product is important, but also its appearance. This one hundred percent meets my ideas about decent cosmetics. The cream is easily absorbed, I would even say it melts, you don’t feel it on your face. The result is noticeable after just two uses - the skin becomes less dry and even a little tighter. But the tonic from this company did not suit me; for some reason, after it I had a feeling of tightness. Now I use creams from this company, and for cleansing I use Oriflame tonic.”
- Rimma, 56 years old: “I got acquainted with the Lancome company’s products at one of the fairs - cosmetics exhibitions, where they gave out free samples. I took a couple of them, tried them, liked them, and bought a whole jar of Absolue night cream. Typically, anti-aging formulations are thick and lie on the face for a long time, as if working from the outside of the skin, but this product is quickly absorbed without any residue. My sallow complexion turned pink after just two weeks of use. It’s hard to say about wrinkles, it seems to smooth them out, but there is no clear elimination of them, they remain. I’m happy with the result, so I’m already buying a second jar.”
- Elvira, 29 years old: “I consider Lancome to be every girl’s pink dream. Why pink? Yes, because this brand is presented in the form of a rose. But the point, of course, is not that, but the effectiveness of these means. Although they are not cheap, they more than get the job done. I like their light texture, the cream reminds me of a fluid in consistency, as soon as you apply it, it’s gone, but you feel a surge of moisture and freshness, and don’t think that this is due to menthol, it’s not in the cream. I use it all year round, buy products from different series and enjoy their effects. My skin is smooth, looks healthy and glows, there are practically no acne and my pores are clean. So, I think every woman needs to have such a cream.”
Precautionary measures
To avoid unpleasant consequences, you must:
- avoid the periorbital area; if it gets into the eyes, rinse them with plenty of water;
- Protect yourself from the sun's rays; when going outside, apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher.
- The product is flammable until dry, so do not use near open flames.
A slight burning and tingling sensation during manipulation is not a dangerous symptom.
The use of the first phase evens out the complexion and makes it uniform. After a month's course, wrinkles are reduced, radiance and healthy shine returns.
