LANCOME GÉNIFIQUE YOUTH ACTIVATOR VIP LAUNCH PARTY

I was invited to LANCôME GÉNIFIQUE Youth Activator VIP Launch Party at Tangs ArtBox yesterday. It was tastefully arranged with signature cream roses, Lancôme symbol of beauty. Canapés and sparkling drinks were served. A lovely light rose scent and soft music set the scene for a new breakthrough in skincare technology.

GÉNIFIQUE, Lancôme's latest skincare phenomenon is the result of 10 years of Research and the first in the industry to apply genes and protein testing to skincare. Lancôme believes that youth is in our genes and we can reactivate it with Génifique, an activator that helps to boost our genes' activity and stimulate the production of youth proteins by up to 60% to discover the skin we were born to have. Drop by drop, skin is infused with life. Vibrant with youth, skin looks as if lit from within – breathtakingly radiant, youthfulness quality restored visibly. Baby soft velvety and supple refined texture once again. Amazing, isnt it ?

Lancôme Skincare expert demonstrated the Génifique Youth Activating Treatment facial on 2 models relaxing comfortably in OSIM U Dream massage chairs. Apologies as my battery went flat before the facial started.

After cleansing and toning with Lancôme skincare products, Lancôme Skincare Experts applied 2 drops onto their fingertips and warm it before massaging onto the model’s face and neck. Then a Lancôme stimulator is used to massage Génifique evenly on the skin. A combination of relaxing massage techniques ensure deep penetration to achieve spectacular skin result. A face mask is applied to complete the facial.

Skin is immediately softer, more supple, luminous and radiant from within as the Génifique Youth Activating Treatment facial is equivalent of using Genifique for 7 days.

Simply use Génifique as a booster in our skincare routine, after toner and before essence to achieve remarkably soft velvety evenly refined supple radiant skin in 4 weeks and see visibly younger softer skin in just 7 days.

Some of the attractive promotions are 12% rebate for Tangs/Citibank card holders on Lancome products this weekend. A FREE Génifique Youth Activating Treatment introductory facial and your choice of a 8 piece anti-aging skincare set awaits you with purchase of Génifique at $170 for 30ml. Excellent value !

I tried Génifique . The texture is rather fluid and lightweight. It absorbs easily and my skin feel softer instantly. Youthful skin is just one drop away it seems. Would review after using for 7 days.

Thank you Lancôme for the lovely evening and the miraculous Génifique door gift.
