I’ve always been a beauty product skeptic.  Let me rephrase that—I’ve always been an expensive beauty product skeptic.  Blame it on my stingy Swiss-German roots, or the granola-hippie environment in which I was raised, but I’ve always thought that the only difference between Cetaphil and L’Occitane was a fancy French name.  This was the attitude I took with me to Lancôme’s launch of its newest skincare product, Génifique, at the Rockefeller Center last month, and it was pretty much the attitude I left with.  However, I also walked out with a 1 Fl. Oz. bottle of Génifique, and that made all the difference.  I tried using Génifique twice a day as recommended, and was absolutely shocked when it actually made good on its lofty promises.  Lancôme says that Génifique reinvigorates the skin’s youth-protein producing cells, resulting in skin that is not just young looking, but youthful on a genetic level.

Now, I can’t confirm anything on a “genetic level”, but on the other hand, I can’t deny that the deep worry-wrinkle between my brows—forged from years of stress and general confusion—did completely disappear.  Not only that, but it stayed away!  Even after I stopped using the product religiously.  Lancôme can officially claim me as their convert—which should prove great for my skin, but horrible for my bank account.
