for me its always Lancome Genefique. The level in which it has changed my skin is remarkable. I got a oily to dry skin type and I got a clear skin with no spots . My skin barrier is healthy as well. days I stop using it, I feel my skin is dull

I got two of these sets in the recent past Rewards Bazaar Bonanza. I'm meh on the serum (I had used it before), but I love the balm and especially in that size for travel, as the full-sized balm is not small.

I really like Lancome Génifique youth activating serum. It’s light and goes on very pleasantly with a cooling effect.

Lancome Advanced Genifique serum has a lot of dimethicone in it so when you try to add a second layer it pills up. I often apply it on wet skin so that it absorbs faster and less pilling.

Yes! I got this set and realized I need to use very little as a dry skin person. So, I have no need to buy a full size and was also always interested in trying this product because of the hype.So, it helped me curb a purchase essentially and it is a good size, not tiny like other samplez

Yes! I have very oily skin and the water powder serum actually helps! I haven't tried the balm yet but I did get this sample set because I've heard great things about this duo used together
