It’s nearly pay day and with spring sales kicking off, this is the time to stock up on your skincare favourites. Debenhams is currently offering great discounts on beauty sets – including this Lancome Genifique Starter Kit, reduced from £42 to £33.
The set includes the bestselling ‘magic in a bottle’ Lancome Genefique Ultimate Serum in a travel-friendly 20ml size, along with an Advanced Genifique Eye Cream (5ml) and the Renergie HPN 300-Peptide Cream (15ml) – which makes each product worth £11. A bottle of full-size Lancome Genefique Ultimate Serum would normally set you back £51 on the brand’s official website so the Debenhams offer is one not to miss.
It has been reported that Princess Kate favours the serum for its anti-ageing benefits. Claiming to reverse skin damage and provide instant soothing and hydration, the serum is designed with Beta Glucan-CM technology, known to accelerate skin repair. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, licorice extract and pre- and probiotic fractions, this product also targets the appearance of redness, fine lines and smoother skin.
Shoppers with signs of ageing raved about the serum and said it worked to reduce lines and deep set wrinkles. One dubbed it the ‘holy grail of all serums’, sharing: “I noticed improvement in the tone of my skin to the neck and smoother, firmer skin almost immediately. I love this product and will continue to use. Works great on the face as well without the greasy/oily feeling as my skin is mostly very oily.”
Alternatively, Estee Lauder’s Beautiful Skin 101 Repair + Lift + Hydrate Set offers £78 worth of travel-size skincare and it’s now available for £45 and Clarins’ Favourites Set includes their iconic Double Serum along with a mascara and lip comfort oil for £67.
Fans also praised the ‘luxurious packaging’ and ‘neutral clean smell’ of the serum, with one adding: “The serum is light, absorbs quickly, and is not sticky or heavy on the skin. I did notice a difference in my skin appearance after about 14 days. My skin looks smoother, bright, and softer. The serum is hydrating, and absorbs into your skin.”
But some are yet to notice a difference in skin texture as one detailed: “I was completely underwhelmed by this serum. I incorporated this into my established skincare routine and I didn’t notice a difference after two months of using this nightly. My fine lines, and dark spots, are not any different.”
Another mentioned that the serum is ‘slightly on a slimey side’ but was happy that it improved her on particularly on problematic areas. The Lancome Genefique Starter Set is now available on Debenhams for £33.60.
