I’ve been noticing some fine lines around my eyes.
Truth be told, I’ve never used eye creams patiently before as they made my eyes overly greasy and messed up my makeup. Because I have oily skin, I’ve never felt like my eyes were getting dry and developing wrinkles. I specifically searched for a lightweight eye serum that doesn’t make my skin to break out but is potent enough to combat the signs of aging.

Lancome’s Advanced Genifique Yeux Light Pearl Eye Illuminator (wow, long name) is the only eye serum I’ll use.
It is lightweight, gentle on my eye area, and potent.

The biggest difference you’ll notice right away from other eye creams/serums is the massage applicator. The round massage applicator allows you to massage the eye area as you apply the serum.


The applicator rotates 360 degrees, allowing thorough massage all around the eyes, even the eyelids, and the corners. The applicator feels cold to the touch and provides a cooling sensation and is great for de-puffing in the morning.

The serum has a gel-like consistency and spreads evenly. It is so lightweight but provides great hydration. I love wearing the serum in the morning – it wakes up my eyes. And my makeup doesn’t get smudged or cakey because the serum gets absorbed quickly. Who’s got the time to wait half an hour for the eye serum to sink in?


As the name suggests, the serum gives an instant eye-brightening effect. In fact, you can see a subtle sheen. It doesn’t leave any sparkly residue – after all, it’s an eye serum, not a highlighter.

I can’t comment on its ability to address deeper, more permanent wrinkles, but it’s been working out great for my skin concern and condition. I was mostly seeing fine lines because my eyes were getting drier, and Lancome’s Advanced Genifique eye serum has been a miracle worker. I love everything about the serum.
