Im considering purchasing these products. Had anyone tried them? If yes, do you like them, and have you had good results?

I've heard good things about it and if you want to try it out before you buy it, I heard that they're giving away 7 day samples of the Genefique concentrate at the Lancome counters at the moment.

Thanku for responding, Carol! I did receive the 7 day sample and have been using it. Ive read reviews on it, and while some love it, others liked it at first and then broke after a couple of weeks. So, Im still debating about purchasing it. Although, I do notice that my face does seem to "glow" from it. So, I hope it works well over long term use.

I am also wondering if anyone has tried Strivectin? I have a couple of samples of that also. Everyone else on AF is probably too young to even worry bout this stuff, yet!

I use the genifique eye (Bought it for 53 US I believe from duty free this summer) and I LOVE IT!!! It really does take away the puffiness and dark circles. (I've had some crying-to-sleep nights) The only thing I don't really like about it is that it's in a pot, so it's not exactly the most sanitary. The texture kind of reminds me of pudding but it absorbs relatively quickly.

^ I know what you mean, I hate it when things come in a pot rather than a tube.. especially eye creams! by the time you get to the end, you have to dig around there with your finger and it all ends up under your nails

You could buy it from Sephora, then you won't have to worry about it

If you do end up breaking out, you could return it and try something else!

Hay, thats a good idea...Sephora is always great about returns and they even pay for the return shipping! Im going to see if they offer the same deal that Macys does....the Genefique Concentrate and the Genefique Eye together for $88.00. They have a promotion also going on, that if you purchase Genefique Concentrate on October 22nd, $7.00 goes directly to St. Jude for Childrens Cancer Research. I thought this would be a good idea, since a member of our family just finished Treatments.

Anyhoo, thanku and I will check it out. Glad to know that the Genefique Eye works good, also!

I have dark circles, too.

sephora friends & family sale is coming up too where you can get 20% off probably in a week or so.. so you could always wait for that too

I don't think anyone knows for sure yet. I just heard it was going to be around the end of this month and Ash said she heard that it was going to be on the 21st or so. So sometime soon!
