Lancôme’s Génifique Ultimate Serum: Merging Skincare and Cutting-edge Tech
Lancôme celebrated the 15th anniversary of its iconic serum line with a revolutionary launch: the Génifique Ultimate serum, which promises to transform the skincare industry. The serum integrates advanced research from L’Oréal’s labs, focusing on the NrF2 gene, a key player in the skin’s self-repair mechanism. This new generation serum incorporates a groundbreaking ingredient, β-glucan, which activates the NrF2 pathway and enhances the skin’s ability to heal itself, offering visible improvements in as little as one week.
At the product’s debut event, held in Shanghai, the brand teamed up with electronic music pioneer Anyma to create an immersive experience that fused science and art, reflecting the futuristic vision behind this innovation. The serum was also validated through clinical trials involving cutting-edge 3D skin assessment technology developed by Cydolia. This partnership underscores the growing trend of using precise, unbiased tools to demonstrate product efficacy in real-world settings.
