This video is part of an (extremely long) series in which I trial a brand or theme's skincare products for two weeks; afterward, I give a review of each product based on my experience, the ingredients, and the cost. I film these bare faced (with the skincare discussed applied) for transparency.
Common Questions/Gripes -
🔹"Are you sponsored?" No, never. I don't want money from any brand to corrupt what I do here.
🔹"Two weeks isn't enough time" In my own experience, the changes from week 1 to 2 are often intense, but past that, the EFFECT seems to taper out. YMMV, and some products only show the effect around 6 months (retinol, peptides, etc).
🔹"Can you discuss more studies?" Not really - due to time constraints. I wish I had endless time, and if I did I would offer citations. Unfortunately, I cannot make a thesis out of each video. I apologize!
🔹"Can you tone down the science?" I get this a lot and like the above question - not really. I try to walk the middle ground here, but skincare IS science. It's tough to separate!
🔹"Should I rely on your review?" These videos are made to share my own experience and general thoughts. For YOUR routine, I always recommend visiting your dermatologist!

Please know that the point of my trials has always been merely to share MY experience with products (as someone with acne-prone, dry skin) vs to tell you what you must do with your own skin.
I tend to be a bit more sensitive to fragrance. If these products work for you, that is great! On the other hand, if you're acne prone like I am, you might want to consider at least patch testing before you commit to a routine.
Thanks for watching 😊
Every product she has I have. I’m a black Women and compare to a lot of theses expensive skin products I’ve used. Lancôme is the best product Fl for my skin!!! It’s worth every dime !!! Yes it has fragrance but it’s does not bother me
Absolutely worth every dime
Yess my mom uses them and she loves them!
i.Suggest to tried, but due to fragrance it may be a bad thing if u have reactive skin, not all alcohol is bad ...like kiehls essence i love.
I love that you can be honest about reviews cause after all you have to true to you and your subscribers. I am a huge fan of Lancome. I have tried almost every skin and makeup from high end to drug store and by far Lancome has been the best for me and best quality. I have extremely sensitive and dry skin and only Lancome products work for me. I get most of my products from Macy’s when they are on 15% off. I also get them one product at a time and you don’t need much per use so your products last months and months. I see it as an investment for my body and face.
You're right. I'm like you super sensitive skin and I prefer buy Lancome at maycis and the sale lady is really generous with me and I try another Lancome product for the same price:)
Y'all this is just HER experience... My skin glows naturally thanks to Lancome and i get compliments everyday 💁
It glows because it is water down down vitamin C a brightening agent.
You mug
Same !!
I just bought the highlighter. XD I'm sparkling everyday! :o
Same!!
You hate Lancome but your skin is so good! And we both know why, Lancome might be very expensive but in my opinion they are the best in the market
I totally agree! And Lancome was first a perfume shop made with the roses from a castle from their family. Their signature is to add light fragrance in their products.
AC Musicotherapie yea I know, but being a fan of it, I feel like they can just half the amount of fragrance in each product. It’s kind of too strong, where I can smell my mascara after applying it. And I can kind of smell it the whole day. But anyway, I’m already onto my fifth one, coz it’s good lol
People like you don't really know much about about science. Lancome genefique is water down vitamin C that lightens dark spots, and the plumping and smoothing effect is achieved by the bifida ferment lysate. Just try Clinique's clear hydration gel it feels and smells just like genefique.
Bacchanalia because you know so much reading off the the label blurb and believe the crap
😅
I learn SO much from your videos. I absolutely love how informative they are. You are thorough when explaining your thoughts and opinions. I truly appreciate these skincare related videos. ♡ love & support always 😙🤗💙
I look to you for the raw, honest, unbiased, "this is worth it" or "this is not" truth! There are so many experts that I "used to" trust this way, but who have clearly sold their souls. Please don't ever change!
You are SO thorough. And I actually love how you break down ingredients. That's something I want to learn more about. Your opinion rocks AND is trustworthy! Thank you!
Thank you for the support! 💖
I absolutely love and appreciate these videos, for all ur hard work and time you put into them but most importantly I especially enjoy them for your HONESTY!!!!!! Ty Enjoy ur Sunday
Yes, the amount of work that goes into these videos is impressive! Thank you Alice for all the hard work. ❤
Fantastic i have been curious about lancome skin care for a long time.
I love your reviews.
Lots of love
Love it! Great review, and so nice that you’re reviewing regular department store shite instead of the newest, trendiest social media brands.
I’m 26 and I just recently tried some creme testers by Lancôme and I really like their stuff! It’s a bit too expensive for me to buy at the moment, because I’m unemployed. But in the future I will try to buy from them again. Such nice quality! Shiseido, Dior, Lancôme and Sensai are the best luxury brands for makeup and skincare in my opinion! I just usually stick to drugstore options because I can’t afford those brands but from time to time I treat myself and whenever I get something from them I’m always pleasantly surprised, while the drugstore stuff are sometimes very disappointing to say the least :(
I have been using Lancome since high school and I am now 57, but I have never had good results with their moisturizers and not for lack of trying. I just tried the premium bx and it sits on top of my skin and my face sweats. 85% of my makeup and skincare is Lancome and my skin looks amazing. Yes, I have crows feet and impression lines, but Lancome has always been my tried and true, just not the moisturizers.
Love love that this girl can't be a bought opinion. Strength, courage, morals!!
Naw Ledged it's difficult sometimes; people say they want honesty, but only if that "honesty" is what they want to believe 😐
🌈🙌
I love your honesty ! What would you recommend for aging dry skin ?
Hi just subscribed and watched a ton of your videos and I appreciate your honesty in all of your reviews!
Thank you! ♥️
I have very dry skin. The Lancôme Hydra Zen works perfect on my skin. I use the Crème-Mousse cleansing foam along with the Tonique Comfort Toner. My skin glows. I noticed a difference in just 1 week. I love it.
Thank you for the honesty! :)
I always love your reviews because you are always honest and helpful. I signed up for Influenster and have been reviewing products. I’ve been making sure I try the products for at least a few weeks before I write a review. Thanks for suggesting them a while back.
Belizean Gyal2 And thank YOU for writing good reviews! It certainly helps everyone in the community (and makes Influenster a better resource!) 💖
So glad I came across your channel!! This was SUPER informative and to the point, and I REALLY APPRECIATE that!! Great Job!! I too struggle with finding products that are alcohol free, and sometimes end up caving and buying them out of frustration or lack of a product that has similar ingredients but no alcohol. I have combination skin and ance prone skin, and balance is a STRUGGLE!! I have found that focusing on moisturizing, and not ance seems to be better for my skin. When I use products for ance, my acne gets sooooooo much worse. It's strange, but since stopping all the acne treatments, creams ect...I've had less and less issues with acne. Anywhoo...New Sub here!! GREAT VIDEO!! 😘❤
I feel that myself! I have toned down my routine to be so much more mild vs “attacking” the acne. Thanks for watching! 😁
Lisa Donahue that's because acne can also be caused by not enough moisture in Ur skin. That's one of the first things anyone should have told u hun. I have very similar problems. Funny our last names r very close.
Lancôme products have made my skin flawless and I have tried many products , I buy it on sale and when HSN has deals , It is the only product line where I saw and felt a difference ...
I received a sample tube of the Regenerie Lift Multi-Action Ultra “sunscreen,” so I was hoping to hear your opinion on it. I’ve already used almost all of it up, and even though I liked it, I was surprised to hear that it is a chemical sunscreen! I’m SO glad I didn’t use it under my eyes!
I’m still disappointed about my favorites sunscreen spray by Baby Organics. It’s the only drugstore sunscreen that doesn’t pill up under my makeup. Halfway tempted to use it up and the backup before they both expire before purchasing something else. The Tatcha sunscreen looks wonderful, and the reviews are good, but the price makes me hesitate.
Thanks for your honest review, you are so right, we all have to agree to disagree. I feel bleh about other people's raves and that's ok, what might work for some wont work for others. I actually am a huge fan of Lancome. You are right, they are very pricey but for those whose only con is the price, now is the best time to get ahold of their best products. If you spend $35 at Macy's you get their Genifique, moisturizer and lots of other goodies for free.
Just discovered your channel today and I love it.
The Lancome Hydra Zen gel cream is my fav moisturizer!!!
Thanks for Ur review. I haven't been using lancome for a while and only just went back to it. I only looked up reviews on there products to find out whether I should bother waisting more money on the other products I haven't tried but u have made me want to find better alternatives. What products do u use or recommend that have the same active products in them as the lancome products u reviewed and what was that other brand u mentioned had the same active ingredients as the absolue products again it was a brand that started with v. Thank you for Ur review. It's definitely made me think twice. I have just literally spent 465 AUD on lancome products in the last 2 weeks. I'm now considered taking some back.
Wonderful review video! Thank you for the honesty. 👍👍💖😁
Great video! Thank you. Can you please tell me the products that you used to get your face that hydrated and glowing? Your face looks amazing in this video!:) BTW, this is the 1st vid I watched of yours.
My skincare routine: ruclips.net/video/3GrM770_ynY/видео.html
The glow is AHAs and the hydration is 2 things: consistent use of moisturizer and drinking water (so serious on that! Dehydration shows in the face, and most people don't drink enough water!)
I have dry skin too! Love the video... What are your favorites for night moisturizer?
Farmacy Sleep Tight (very thick texture), Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Gel (often paired with another night cream as it acts more as a serum) and more recently the Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask!
I was looking so long for someone doing honest reviews. Thank you!
I went into a local store today requesting a product that actually works for under eye puffiness and fine line wrinkles. It was the lancome counter and the prices of their products our like ouch. If they actually work then great. But if not then i'm sure there our other products out there that really do work. I spent $54.00 on one product and a lil pricey for half ounce and did not work. I have to say your skin looks amazing so what products would you recommend? Thank you...
The absolue bx made my face and under eyes burn...and I don’t have sensitive skin. I’ve used the Renergie and I don’t see any difference at all on my skin. They have two older eye creams called progres and high resolution that I actually think are better. I have felt like their eye serum though in the absolue line is legit in impacting the under eye area and their new absolue soft cream that was launched about 6 months ago is a vast improvement to that line (although they still have the bx) ...to me the real winners in Lancome skincare is the visionnaire crescendo 28 day treatment and their new retinol cream is a great starter product for those who are new to retinol, I believe it’s .2%. But yea it’s interesting how a major power house like L’Oréal basically uses marketing and packaging to manipulate our perception and psyche to justify paying more for essentially the same thing. 😋
Funny you mention the Visionnaire treatment, one of the Lancome employees at my department store was just telling me about that! But yeah, my concern with Lancome is the fragrance - something I didn't think much of at the time I filmed this, and now realize just how much it can affect end results!
I appreciate that you have done a lot of research and do know your products and give an unbiased review. That is all great. All the same, I'm doubtful about the benefit of your reviews for these skin care lines. You skin is likely to react to some of these products differently than they would do for other skins. So how does your reviews help other viewers to decide what they should buy and ignore? Ultimately, skin care is very personal and it is up to each of us to trial and error before we find one we want to continue using. No reviews are going to help here on what works and what doesn't.
Totally agree. I hope I emphasize enough that my reviews are merely one person's results (granted, unbiased, not a commercial, unpaid by the brand etc). I don't think any one person can ever really give anything other than that, but viewers can watch/read more than one review and hopefully have an idea of a bigger picture. That's really all I can hope for!
You are saying everything I think !!!! I am a long time Lancôme user. You like my favorites and hate all that I hate!!! I just wish you could tell me what to use since Progres eye cream is gone???!!
Which one smells stronger the mouse or the face scrub?
Ok I just stumbled upon your channel. I have worked in high end skincare/cosmetics for almost 25 years. My first being for Lancome in my 20's. I am now 50 and work for Estee Lauder and Ive worked for about 5 other lines. Its mostly hype. Cant use most of Lauders products so I seel a product I cant use. Fabulous. Trying out Lancome now. However did you say you enjoyed Revitalift by Loreal and it did not irritate your skin? I get a discount at my work but not that big of one.
That's awesome - 25 years of experience! I feel like i want to ask YOU so many questions 😂😂 (but seriously, that's awesome)
I do like Revitalift! I'd say some of my absolute favorite moisturizers that I've tried in all these trials are Dr. Jart's Ceramidin and Benefit Total Moisture - those get along with my skin very well and are not too bad in price.
You’re very brave putting all these different things on... I’ve been gifted with pretty good skin and I never did much for it. Now that I’m older and trying to learn more about skin care I’m super cautious about introducing anything. I’ve not been interested in Lancome skincare (aside from Bi-Facil), but I surely enjoyed the cheekiness in the video. Chuckled more than once. 😏
You do you. 😂 Thank you for your honesty. 🤗
I break out from oils , so horribly bad, so many oils for skin, I have broke out from every oil products for the face. And I'm SO dry. CANADIAN WINTER! Any recommendations.
I personally have dry skin and I cannot deal with a product on my face that have alcohol and unfortunately with the face product industry a lot of them lie and tell you that the product have no alcohol but it does. It’s a great turn off for me.
I can't use anything fermented at all. I got the worst acne spot I have had in years. It lasted for 2 weeks and prescription acne meds cleared it up. It was awful and on my cheek, where my contour goes!!😶. As for Lancome, not in my budget. Great review as always. I think your skin looks pretty good. Have a great week...❌✖❌
Ur skin looks good though so if its Lancome it not that bad it actually really good it so smooth well worth it
Hi to everyone who uses Lancome!!
I tried their mini sample Lancome Energie de Vie water-infused cream, do you know any drugstore (price) dupes? Hopefully, internationally sold. It's too expensive for me huhu Thanks!
Look up the ingredients, you want something with the same active ingredient.
I recieved a 7 day trial of the genefique and 3 days in my skin feels burnt. I think maybe the alchohol? Ouchy ouchy.
Ouch! Yeah that shouldn’t happen!
Loved your review
She got a point, I have everything shown and the gel cream gave me a headache- too much rose smell!! None of the of the other products are a bother!!
Albolene is the best eye and face makeup remover in the world, works identically and one jar will last about three years.
Siouxanne Buehrer Steve Harvey’s wife mentioned that she uses this to remove her makeup as well.
هو مفيش ولا تعليق بالعربى طب ياجماعه اللعبه البنفسجى دى لإيه هى عندى ومش عارفه استخدامها
Have you done a similar review of Estée Lauder?
Yes but so long ago tbh. On the list of brands to revisit now that I have more experience!
Btw... Your skin looks freaking amazing!
Yes it so does! It makes me want to at least try a sample of that fermented serum.
For reals. I’ve been refilling a MAC Fix Plus bottle with Simple Micellar water for years now since noticing they are ingredient identical, except for a tiny bit of caffeine in the Mac.
Yes. Any cheap toner in a spray bottle does the same job too 😀
My ? To you . Since you are such a expert on reviewing skincare products. What is your most favorite skincare products?
I wouldn’t say I’m an expert - just someone who recorded their own skincare journey, and in so doing, realized my skin is prone to irritation, and my biggest problem is inflammation. It’s odd: you don’t hear that often. It’s usually “I have acne” or “I want to decrease sun spots” - but what’s the root cause of these problems? Often, it’s inflammation.
As such, I do best with lower fragrance/anti-inflammatory products
And so top two: Cosrx snail mucin and I’m From Honey mask. Both are fragrance-free and help with healing!
What are you using on your skin
These days? Mostly unscented skincare with a handful of exceptions. I still use Lancome eye creams, but I have to be more cautious about what I use on my face.
If the alcohol your referring to in the products is cetyl alcohol just know that it is a fatty alcohol derived from whales originally, but palm/coconut oil now. Yes, alcohol is bad for the skin but thats not the case for l alcohol because there are certains alcohols that are naturally produced and deprived in plants as well. A product having alcohol in it is nto enough to consider it harsh/bad, you need to do your research on he type fo alcohol.
It's denatured alcohol
What's the T sis
Lancôme is not as good as it used to be I was a huge fan of their skincare for years but not in 2020 Surprisingly I have found better results with Olay half the price
Jesus! You're my favourite. I mean it. You're the only one to read the ingridients of all this "luxury" stuff and have the courage to say how absurd and cheap they are!
Thanks! I try to be as unbiased as possible - and sometimes it sucks because I know the video will get hate 🙈🙈
Going against popular opinions can be rough lol!
Oh my Lord! I just bought the Lancome Abolue BX set day and night for $240 how I wish saw this video before going to belk 🙁🙁🙁
Did you enjoy it? I quite like most Lancome skincare.
I worked for Lancome as a makeup artist skincare consultant. Totally overpriced. Buy Loreal instead. Same stuff but way less money.
Your skin looks beautiful
your skin looks great
I got the Energie de vie moisturizer in my Sephora Play box. It dried out my skin & stung like pouring rubbing alcohol in an open wound. I also take issue with the packaging of Lancôme’s skin care. Anything that’s exposed to air & light repeatedly, will be rendered useless long before it’s used up.
I appreciate your advice but everywhere I research, say the same as you.
I am disappointed because I just ordered it but will end up sending it back. Your 100 percent correct alcohol and frangence is nit what a person wants in a serum.
Not to mention the price point. The doctors are saying the same as you. They don't recommend this product.
Thank you
Not me emptying out 6 50 ml jars of that moisturiser 💀
Thank for this video would love to see your drug store list that we could used instead. Love the video. ❤
My skin was drowning in those tiny Whitehead’s on my jaw line. I’ve finally beat them thank the lord! I don’t think these products are for me, but I love your thorough reviews. You did mention essence, so I was curious if you’ve ever used snail essence? I’ve been using it for a couple months and I love it! 💖
Amy Lynn yes! I absolutely love Cos RX 96% Snail Mucin, who knew a product could be hydrating AND prevent acne? Amazing stuff!
AliceintheRabbitHole Prevent acne?! I’m ordering it. Thanks for sharing.
I bought a $2 makeup remover (Voeu brand) from the supermarket. Then I happened to get a gift with purchase from Lancôme that contained their makeup remover.
I compared the two and they had THE SAME FIRST THREE INGREDIENTS! So basically they were the same and I noted they performed the same, just the Lancôme smelt nicer.
Jenny M whoa do you remember what it was? I like saving money too LOL 🤣
AliceintheRabbitHole
Hi, I’m in Australia and it was a newly stocked brand in the supermarket. The brand was called Voeu. Made in China and it smelt terrible so I would never purchase again. But like I said it was exactly like the Lancôme in looks, ingredients and performance.
I wear waterproof mascara everyday because of allergies and I’ve tried a lot of makeup removers. The best I’ve found is the Garnier Clean Sensitive 2 in 1 (it’s the blue one). I use this on my eyes and then any sort of oil, such as grape seed oil or olive oil, on my face and wipe off with a warm face washer to remove my makeup. Then I cleanse with my Clarisonic.
Hope this is of help. I hate spending money on cleansers too.
AliceintheRabbitHole try the nivea one, all in one remover. (The two layer one, where you have it mix it by shaking the bottle).
Today at the lancome counter they showed me a pic of the blockbuster it will be released on the 18 th of october.for $68.00 I didn't see what the minimum purchase requirement is! I hope I got the date right for u!
Aww thanks for remembering me! I’ll definitely check it out 😁
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Apparently the 3 lipsticks are the same even though they look different to me whether or not u chose the hynose drama or the definicils .And the palette with the hypnose drama has the better shade eyeshadow palette more like purple / berries.But both hypnose drama reg.and waterproof were miserable failures for me basically every mascara except the definicils has smudged under my eyes like where people do the baking but I don't becuz I hate looking dry. It will have the genifique or however u spell that serum and the eye cream the mascara primer. I can't remember what else! I don't think there were any juicy tubes.the box that it is stored in comes in like a tall round container that's divided in the center.That's probably it becuz that would be 8 items .And I think that's usually how many they include.Btw the lipstick are a light nude,a pink/ red,and and red/ brown maybe like a plum color not sure? But like I said she said they are supposed to be the same whether u chose hypnose drama or difinicils! I don't want the hypnose but I like the colors of the eyeshadow palette better! I noticed on the Macy's website they have a juicy tubes combo where u can buy those and two lipsticks sets the reds and the nudes for 40. They're the color design lipsticks.Right now Macy's is having 15%off the beauty dept.til the 23rd of this month.hope this helps.
Thank you so much! I love hypnose drama, but I totally know what you mean - I get around it by adding a tiny amount of powder onto my lashes over the mascara. Otherwise it is going to migrate absolutely EVERYWHERE lol! Their lipsticks are all absolutely phenomenal though. I need to try more of their eyeshadow!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole
I wonder if a shadow primer would help! The girl at the lancome counter asked if I blink hard? I don't think I do.I like to experiment with things .I also like to organize my skincare/ makeup.Like doing one brand of nail polish on 1 hand and another on the other.I did chanel and Mac.If I remember correctly the Mac won!And I used to like doing swatches.But I learned that they're unreliable .They will look different on u for some reason! But I will do them for highlighters, lipsticks ,gloss, shadows.i know this may seem obvious but needs to be said anyways!U shouldn't have to struggle to get good pigment and u should still see it when u blend it in.One of the reasons I don't like drugstore make up is becuz the pigmentation sucks.Why bother?And too faced really sucks too! There was probably about one handful of their stuff that I liked! The rest is garbage! The best eye shadow primer is tarte creaseless.but they quit selling it,/making it
I'm not really a smashbox fan.The shadow finishes annoy me.But the be legendary creams were decent last time I tried them.I heard Sephora got a lot of returns on the always sharp liners. Ever since I tried the too faced melted latex I hate stuff that is sticky.In case u haven't tried it it's basically a liquid lipstick but it's sticky and hella annoying! Someone one day and it was obvious she didn't blend in her highlighter! I'll tell u she attracted attention but not in a good way. Btw have u tried the new benefit cookie highlighter? Apparently it's pretty popular! I've seen a set that has Watts up ,the Pearl primer which I have no clue why it got that name! It was so dimiticone- ish and loathe dimiticone! Nothing shimmery about it! And it came with the dandelion twinkle! It's like $46/$47 at Macy's. Don't forget About the 15%off!
The minimum purchase requirement is $39.50.
It’s weird how you love the make up and you trash the skin care. Specially that all the make up is infused with skincare and that’s why it’s sooooo good.
Who are you?? Why am I just now coming across this awesomeness? New sub.
Haha thank you 😊
I believe in you!
I don't like hypnose drama.But I used to really like the reg.hypnose mascara.
Thanks! U have beautiful skin!
They still have hypnose mascara, they just don’t have it out on the counter. Ask the associate and they will pull it out from the stock (at least this is the case at Macy’s).
What are your favorite serums? Thanks 😊
Melodi McMillan I use Peter Thomas Roth Retinol Fusion PM at night (and Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos when I have scarring). For day use, I actually really love Clinique! Repairwear and Smart serums are both great. No 7 has some good serums at the drugstore although I haven't tested them as extensively as the others.
AliceintheRabbitHole I use the same PTR for night! I'm looking for a holy grail for daytime use, and I've never tried any of those...I'll have to check them out! Thanks so much.
Melodi McMillan isn't the PTR great?! It's the only constant that I refuse to stray from in all these trials 😂😂
AliceintheRabbitHole It has changed my skin! I will never be without it. I recently picked up some minis during the travel sized sale they were having, for five dollars each. I think they are originally 35 for the 0.5 oz. Score!!
Melodi McMillan that's the best time to buy them!!
It seems you downgrade products for hypothetical problems that never materialized.
Lol wonderful reviews!! I can’t get past the way you say fragrance. It’s FR-AY-GRANCE not FRAG-RANCE 😅 lol I love it though!!! Just bustin’ your bawls 😘
😆😆
My sweetie had to sit me down one day and teach me the correct pronunciation. It went something like this:
"say: freg-"
"frag"
"no. Freg-"
"fraaaag"
"no! Frey! Like a frayed sweater!"
"OH!!! Fraygrance!"
"YES!!!"
I have no idea how speech is sometimes a very tricky thing!? Lol!
Thanks for watching ☺️
That Lancome "expensive" cleanser... don't do what I did and squirt out waaaaay tooo much. A little bit goes a long long long way, lol
Oh man, I did that with a micellar water once. It's painful to watch money go down the drain LOL!
You are fantastic!! A breath of fresh air!,💕
My favourite Lancôme product is their cream blush, which used to be in a glass jar, black lid with a mirror. Their new packaging is a baby pink plastic situation. So not into it any more.
Joyce Belfort Estee Lauder pulled a "reformulation" on one of my favorite foundations so I definitely relate. Whyyyy do companies do this!?
Have you done a EL review?
A loooong time ago. Summary and updated version: I really like EL's products, ANR, ANR eye and the essence are some of my absolute favorites from them, and the moisturizers are fantastic for dry skin. I didn't stick with any of their cleansers/toners though
AliceintheRabbitHole I haven't tried a lot from them but I do like the advance night serum and the night cream! Very nice feeling and leaves my skin so soft!
Yep!! Advanced Night Repair was YEARS ahead of it's time - and still a classic to this day!
Honest review. 👍
Omggg wowwwww alot info 😅😂😂 i feel smarter!!
😅 me3 lol!
I think Lancôme battles are expensive not ingredients
Thanks for informing us
Tbh I suspect that may be true for a WHOLE lot of products haha!
You have some amazing bone structure
In your face. ❤️
Thank you ☺️
Talking head, lol you are so mean to yourself. Stay true you have great morals and integrity. I trust your opinions very much.
That was hilarious!
Omg to spend that much money a month, on that bs oh sorry bx. I would bounce car n mortgage payments. Omg who are these people. Lol not i , that's for sure. You had me laugh out loud so many times in it. Sorry for multi comments. But I love you Alice I truly believe in your integrity. Keep staying true 2u.
I'm so glad i ran into this review, im actually debating in buying a clarins moisturizer and lancome absolute, i will do more research. 😘 thank you again.
But I agree that the products are overpriced. Nice quality but definitely overpriced. Thanks for your review!
Are you in the US? If so - I highly recommend checking out the big Ulta sales. I got Bi-facil and genefique eye for 50% off in their January sale!

Such a shame they put so fragrance in, I react violently to most fragrance skincare (but not all). My co-worker in her 70's buys has purchased a Lancome $400 moisturiser for the last 15 years here New Zealand. Her skin does actually glow without any age spots. She economizes in many areas to afford this, like almost exclusively buying 2nd hand clothes, but she thinks organic food and this Lancome moisturiser is a necessity to aging beautifully. Still has mega deep wrinkles but the way she glows like a pearl in the moonlight without any makeup on is really impressive.
Tom Jones I'll tell you, I've begun to feel like an absolute broken record in repeating the same problems over and over with SO many skincare products - irritating oils, fragrance, etc!
That's great that your coworker found a product she loves so much though!
There are better ingrédients to switch with alcohol
Alcohol is for cheap brands
It's amazing that they charge so much for jar packaging/ it's unstable breaks the ingredients down fast. I don't believe jar packaging does anything but hydrate. I've never seen an eye cream in jar packaging do anything for my undereye lines. I got one from Bobbi brown and origins the brightening one that both irritated the heck out of my skin! Besides I believe they sell one serumfrom lancome I think for $ 400.00 for one measly once! Big whoop! I go between Estee Lauder and lancome I was more loyal to Estee Lauder but I did try other brands too.I got some stuff from the body shop that's also owned from Loreal that's making a huge difference on my skin!I believe every cream should be anti- wrinkle minimum.Estee Lauder starts with certain benefits in their moisturizers and the next one has that and more and so forth.
I got samples from my Nordstrom order and it smells DISGUSTING. I put that shit on my feet lol no way it's going on my face
Btw, I wont pay those over priced payments for that product.
Sad when you have to apologize for simply telling the truth. Personally I appreciate the info, I didn’t have to spend the money to find out the hard way. Ty!

It’s not a ingredient problem! It’s a choice problem! I love it , but I don’t love it! Kinda toxic situation
Seems to me that you don't want to like something because the crowd says not to..even when the results are starting you in YOUR own face. What a conundrum.

I don’t understand why you feel the need to do what you do. Have you been to a Lancome lab. Have you done research with users across the board of Lancome. I think that would be useful . You could also give credit that Lancome in Europe is not tested on animals and there is no lead in their products as in other brands.
Thanks for replying btw.
These trials were always a way of me sharing one person's experience. I guess if you're interested in the backstory:
I had problem skin starting in my early 20s. Acne AND dryness. It sucked royally. And a lot of reviews were confusing me - I'd hear wonderful things about a brand, but on my skin? Complete disaster! Worse than before I started using the products, but $300+ less money in my bank 😭
So i started doing these reviews! In the end (?), I've fallen madly in love with brands like Cerave, the ordinary, and even elf skincare! It turns out that I do better with very short ingredients lists and simple ingredients.
I totally understand if you don't like it, and I totally understand loving Lancome for the record! But regardless, thanks for watching and know I do appreciate your feedback. Hope you have a great rest of your week ☺️
AliceintheRabbitHole Hi and thanks so much for replying. I do like what you do. I,m an advocate of free speech and saying it how you find it. I was just interested to find out more.. I can’t imagine the agony of having acne . It’s emotionally and socially draining. It’s interesting to hear and to be honest I was shocked when I heard what yourself and others were saying about Lancome products. For me I’m about twenty years older than I look and it’s because of my skincare. Personally I think a lot of skin behaviour is genetic but I learnt so much from Lancome about caring for your skin and for me their products genuinely work. But I can understand how for many people they wouldn’t. I’m a big fan of Miele cucumber masks. Have you tried them. Anyway that’s it. Just wanted to assure you that I was just interested and wasn’t being rude or nasty as I know many people can be on here. Take care keep safe and well.😊
Did you just say that you regret that sales associate didn't tell you to use sunscreen. Wow!!!!! It's not their responsibility to tell you that. Stop the blame game and blame yourself. And yes you are pointing the finger.
