I tried Cynic's ampoule and IOPE's in between, but I always end up coming back to Génifique. It keeps my skin hydrated even in winter and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. I understand why Génifique is expensive - not only is it a department store brand, but it's also known as the original stem cell essence. I first bought it duty-free when it was released, and I've been using it ever since. Now in my mid-30s, I constantly receive compliments on how good my skin looks for my age.
ConsAfter using it for years without any complaints, I recently experienced some issues. Due to kidney problems, I was hospitalized and underwent long-term antibiotic treatment, which made my skin super sensitive. As a result, I started feeling a tingling sensation when applying Génifique. Although my health has improved and the tingling has decreased, I'd recommend that those with sensitive skin try a sample before purchasing. Also, the price can be quite a burden unless you have the chance to buy it duty-free.

Given it was just my first impression, I planned to use it consistently for a few more days. This product was definitely on my list to purchase the full size!
ConsIt seems to be slightly irritating for sensitive skin... When my skin is in good condition, it's fine, but when it's not, I feel a burning sensation and notice my cheeks turning red. Because of this, I'm hesitant about buying the full-size product...

The hydration is pretty good, and it leaves a nice glow on your face.
ConsIt can be a bit irritating and sometimes causes a burning sensation, though I'm not sure why.
TipI tend to use it when doing a modeling mask, and it leaves my skin feeling hydrated.

It's nice, but it doesn't leave a lasting moisturized feeling. It absorbs without any sticky residue.
ConsI have combination dehydrated skin with severe deep dryness. I only applied this in the evening after toner, followed by an emulsion. When I first applied it, there was a tingling and burning sensation, which made me think my skin must really lack moisture. But since it stung every time I used it, I felt something might be wrong and decided to look into the ingredients. My skin didn't have a bad reaction, but it didn't become more hydrated or smoother either, so I'm wondering if I should continue using it. Also, since I'm pregnant, I'm unsure if it's safe to use, so after a week of application, I'm hesitant to reach for it.

ConsIt doesn't suit my sensitive skin during the seasonal change. After two weeks, it started causing a tingling sensation, small blemishes appeared, and my skin became irritated. Now it's just sitting on my vanity unused.

Perhaps the dropper bottle is somewhat convenient compared to other droppers?
ConsWhen I used it with Bobbi Brown products in the morning, my makeup pilled. In the evening, it caused a tingling sensation, so I had to stop using it before finishing the bottle.
TipIt seems you should use only a very small amount.

ConsAs I have sensitive skin, it gives a tingling sensation. Those with sensitive skin should do a patch test before purchasing.

At first, it felt a bit tingly, but I got used to it after a while. I'm considering repurchasing it.
ConsIt's a bit itchy at first. The price is high, and while there seems to be a slight effect, I wouldn't recommend it considering the cost.

It feels like you're using a luxurious product.
ConsOh no, I used this for just two days and developed small bumps, itchiness, and what seems like an allergic reaction. Even though I still have many samples left, I've stopped using it.
TipInstead of buying this, I'd rather get a gentle essence from a street shop.

Ironically, there's no dramatic change after that, but I'd still repurchase.
ConsThose with super sensitive skin might experience a tingling sensation. My sensitive areas around the mouth feel a bit of a burning sensation.
TipI love how clean it feels when I use the dropper to apply it directly to my face.
