Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Lancome Genifique Ultimate Serum requires no complex setup. Simply twist open the cap, which often features a self-loading dropper for precise dosage. Ensure your hands are clean before application to maintain product hygiene.
Compatibility:
This serum is generally compatible with most skincare routines and products. It is designed to be layered effectively:
- Layering Order: Apply after cleansing and toning, and before heavier creams, oils, or SPF.
- Other Serums: If using multiple serums, apply the Genifique serum first due to its lighter texture, or consult a dermatologist for specific layering advice.
- Makeup: It creates a smooth canvas for makeup application, reducing the appearance of dry patches.
Care:
Proper care ensures the longevity and efficacy of your serum:
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A bathroom cabinet or vanity drawer is usually suitable.
- Seal Tightly: Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent air exposure, which can degrade the product.
- Avoid Contamination: Do not touch the dropper directly to your skin to prevent transferring bacteria into the bottle.
- Shelf Life: Refer to the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol (an open jar icon with a number, e.g., '12M' for 12 months) on the packaging for how long the product remains effective after opening.
