Armand Ptitjean, a man who sought to tell the world about French taste and style, founded Lancome in 1935. In less than 6 years, the brand was represented in 30 countries. Already in 1942, the first Lancôme school was opened, where they trained specialists who were supposed to demonstrate to the world the true image of French beauty.
For the past 75 years, the brand has argued that beauty is not about appearance. The main goal of the company is to emphasize the dignity of a woman at any age, offering only the best that modern cosmetology has invented.
Lancôme advantages
In the early years of its existence, the company developed Lancome Nutrix face cream. The formula is based on proteins and vitamins. Due to its effectiveness, the product has become a leader in the cosmetics market. In addition to its use as a restorative, it has been used to treat:
- insect bites;
- edema;
- cuts;
- microtrauma,
- sunburn;
- allergy;
- freezing.
Youssef Nabi, President of Lancome, said:
Painstaking and constant work has allowed the company to develop products that can slow down the aging process of the epidermis. In addition, all creams are completely safe, as they are created on the basis of soft natural ingredients that are suitable for almost all customers.
Popular collections
The main advantage of Lancome cosmetics is that all care products are divided into categories. Of course, there are many other products that are no less valued by customers, but today let's talk about Lancome face creams.
The division implies an emphasis on skin characteristics and problems. For example, dryness or oiliness, age-related changes and other aspects.
So, the most popular series:
1. "Genefic"
Genifique belongs to the category of “youth activators”. Customer reviews note that this collection of creams is ideal for women with any skin condition. Regular use of Genefic products can give you the 2 hours of sleep your skin needs, as well as youth and freshness.
2. "Hydra Zen"
The Hydra Zen line from Lancome is a kind of “anti-stress”. The product perfectly soothes, relieves irritation, relieves the feeling of tightness and dryness. Like the previous series, it is suitable for any age and skin type.
Conclusion
Creams from the French cosmetic brand Lancome certainly belong to the category of “luxury” cosmetics. The cost of individual funds reaches 6,000 rubles and more. Not every woman can afford a cream at this price, but even the most experienced people confirm the effectiveness of the products.
Lancome brand products are used when there are pronounced signs of wilting of the epidermis or when there are serious problems when budget analogues do not help, and you do not want to resort to the services of surgeons. Lancome creams are a worthy investment in the beauty and youth of your skin.
Foundations
1. Miracle Lancome Teint
The second name that buyers came up with was “Photoshop”. This is not surprising, because this face cream from Lancome perfectly hides imperfections and also gives problem skin a pleasant velvety texture. The product is long-lasting, is not felt on the face and does not create a mask effect. Thanks to the convenient dispenser, the product is economical in consumption. The only warning: it is recommended to moisturize the skin before application, as Teint Miracle has a drying effect.
2. Lancome Teint Renergie lift RARE
Like the previous foundation, it is absolutely not suitable for those with dry skin types. Thanks to the lifting effect, fine wrinkles are smoothed out and the skin acquires a natural color. In their reviews, customers say that the main difficulty is choosing the right shade, since this product has a huge range of palettes.
Night care under the sign of a rose
Hi all!
Finally, I gathered my thoughts to write a departure post. Today we are talking about the Lancome brand, more about the Genific series. For some reason, the departure of a brand rarely appears in reviews, so let’s do our bit. First of all, let me remind you of the characteristics of my skin. Combined type, in summer it is closer to normal with shine in the T-zone, in winter it is prone to dryness on the cheeks. Rashes (except for the last month) are sporadic. Not sensitive, not allergenic. And also, I’m 30 years old. I used all the products for a fairly long period of time, starting some “products” back in the summer. The compositions of all products are in the cosmetologists catalogue. Lancome Tonique Confort Comforting Rehydrating Toner – Moisturizing soothing toner
I purchased this wonderful thing with the onset of cold weather and the heating season, in order to add moisture already at the stage of cleansing the skin. And let me tell you, he really coped with the task. Features of the composition:
enriched with natural almond extract and honey, does not contain alcohol.
Consistency:
not quite usual for a tonic, similar to diluted milk, slightly gel-like, dense, if this applies to lotions.
Not sticky. Colour:
pinkish milky.
Smell:
I find the fragrance pleasant, with a light floral aroma.
Consumption:
seemed economical, with almost daily evening use of a 200 ml bottle.
enough for two months. Result:
I would call this product a softner, because not only the final stage of skin cleansing is noticeable, but also very light moisturizing. The skin is truly silkier and softer. Applying with a cotton pad is inconvenient, it is better directly from your hands, which, in my opinion, is both more economical and effective. In general, an excellent product, I was very pleased, I will most likely repeat the purchase.
Grade:
5
Testing period:
2 months
Price:
1530 rub. in IDB
I started using the next two copies back in July. So I tried them in 30-degree heat, and during the heating season. It’s true that it won’t get very cold, until December, but in November we already have an average temperature of -15-20.
Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate – Serum-con
Yes, the ingredients in the Genific line are indecently long and not entirely attractive (alcohol is in 4th place!).
But I judge by the results. I bought the cream described below, and the serum in the amount of five 7 ml bottles. each as a gift, some in a set, some as a compliment. Consistency:
jelly-like, terribly silicone, whitish in color.
It distributes perfectly, lays down in a thin layer, leaving behind a film that disappears (apparently it is still absorbed) after two or three minutes. Smell:
for me there is no smell, only if you stick your nose into the bottle you can smell that same alcohol ((.
Consumption:
incredibly economical, I never opened the last bottle, and I didn’t even finish the second to last one (no desire). I think this is due to the large amount of silicones in the composition.
Result:
quite difficult to evaluate. What I saw was that it improved the skin tone, making it more uniform, healthier or something. Noticeably tightens the pores. Definitely did not cause new inflammation and did not clog the pores (do not forget that I used it in the summer in the heat!). But here I didn’t feel anything special, maybe it’s too early for me.
Grade:
I find it difficult, I don’t understand, but not lower than 3. The desire to buy has not arisen yet.
Testing period:
about four months.
Price:
3860 rub. for 30 ml. in IDB
Lancome Genifique Repair Youth Activating Night Cream – Genifique Youth Activating Night Cream
Consistency:
normal creamy, quite thick, which is not surprising since this is a night care product.
The cream is white in color, spreads well over the skin, and applies thinly. It absorbs for a very long time, leaving a greasy shine all over the face. Smell:
pleasant cosmetic scent, reminds me of the light aroma of roses.
Consumption:
economical, I use 50 ml jars.
Enough for almost five! months, but I use oils at least twice a week, plus there was also a period of testing the Weekend serum from Chanel. Result:
Oh, I liked the cream. Yes, of course, it is very difficult to evaluate its effect solo, without serum, but I did not always use the latter. This cream, in my opinion, is perfect for those with dry skin, because it is very nourishing. That's how I would describe him in one word. The skin is nourished, soft, moisturized. Perfectly relieves irritation. In the morning, the reflection in the mirror pleases with an even, clean, healthy complexion. Despite the fact that it leaves your face looking like a pancake. It didn’t cause any new inflammation, and it didn’t clog my pores either. This winter I almost got through the winter without severe dry skin and without flaking, not without the help of this product. But there is definitely a but! This effect is temporary, occurring only during use, and not cumulative, so to speak, although this is expected.
Grade:
5. I may repeat the purchase.
Testing period:
about five months.
Price:
4250 rub. for 50 ml. in IDB
Lancome Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activator – Youth activator for the skin around the eyes
Features of the composition:
horse chestnut extract and caffeine.
Consistency:
again jelly-like silicone, but thicker compared to Genific serum.
Translucent white. It is applied with a steel applicator, which creates a slight cooling effect. Absorbs quickly and leaves no film. Smell:
I don't smell it.
Consumption:
two 5 ml miniatures given with the eye cream.
It lasted me 2 months with daily use in the morning and evening. Result:
it is very difficult to evaluate eye products, because the existing small expression wrinkles, of course, cannot be removed by any cream, and there are no serious problems yet. But I'll try anyway. Moisturizes and softens the skin. Doesn't lighten dark circles. But it copes a little with puffiness, this rarely happens to me, mainly after sitting for a long time at the monitor, this will help here, but not so much that it’s just wow. The concealer glides on perfectly and doesn't crease.
Rating: 4
Testing period: about two months.
Price: 3550 rub. for 20 ml. in IDB
Lancome Genifique Eye Youth Activating Eye Concentrate – Con
Consistency:
pleasant, comfortable, creamy, but somehow more delicate, light and melting.
Cream the color of baked milk. Smell:
oh yes there is one, it’s the smell of alcohol.
sooo sharp. In the store, apparently, after a long test, I didn’t notice it, and in our IDBs everything is always in fragrances (((. Consumption:
normal, eye creams usually take a long time to be used up. A 15 ml jar lasted me three months. I almost always used it only in the evening, in the morning only on weekends.
Result:
it stings, it stings very much, but not the skin itself, but in the eyes, it cuts directly, apparently due to the pronounced smell of alcohol. Then everything coincides with the serum described above. Moisturizes, softens the skin, nourishes. But that's all , dark circles will not make dark circles less pronounced, the cream will not reduce puffiness. Although I almost forgot there is one important fact, after using the cream for the skin around the eyes from the hydrobeauty series from Chanel, I had problems, namely some minor peeling, here I am from I got rid of them while using this couple, so it may still be simply difficult to assess the effect of products for the skin around the eyes.
Grade:
4 (removed a point for the strong smell of alcohol, everything else was good). I won't buy it again because of the strong fragrance.
Testing period:
about two months.
Price:
3300 rub. for 15 ml. in IDB
Care is a very individual and delicate matter, but I hope my information will find its reader. Natalia was with you))

Inspired by roses and ruins
Armand Petitjean, the founder of the world-famous cosmetics brand, was a true Frenchman: he loved his country, beautiful women, perfumes and roses. The latter owe to the brand’s symbolism – the golden flower of the queens, which adorns the caps and packaging.
At first, the company was engaged in the production of perfumes. The first 5 titles were presented to the general public in Brussels during the World Exhibition on February 1, 1935. A year later, decorative cosmetics and skin care products of this brand were released. Read this article on how to choose a foot cream for varicose veins and fatigue.
At various times, the brand was represented by stars Kate Winslet, Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Uma Thurman, Juliette Binoche and others.
The Russian supermodel Daria Verbova was also lucky, who became the “face” of the new Hypnosis perfume and cosmetic line. And Evelyn 8 in 1 healing varnish will give your manicure a well-groomed look.
Having existed for 29 years as an independent company, in 1964 Lancôme merged with L'Oreal.
Night face creams from Lancome
According to research, the peak of all body renewal processes occurs from 23:00 to 4:00. Right now, our skin needs a lot of care, especially if your priority is to prevent or combat existing wrinkles.
1. For dry skin
This type of dermis is more susceptible to negative environmental influences. In addition, its lipid layer is the thinnest, and the water balance is very easily disturbed. The result is loss of tone, tightness and flaking. To combat these issues, you'll need an ultra-hydrating product, like Lankom's Hydra Zen Nuit Neurocalm Face Cream, to replenish moisture and leave you feeling comfortable.
Face cream for the winter from Lancome
