You may know that L'Oreal Youth Code Serum is the sister version of Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentration, one of the so-called advanced anti-aging gene therapy products (another one is Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, short for ANR) . With similar ingredients and a lovely price (€18, 30ml), Youth Code is nearly three times less expensive than Genifique. Not long till it's released, L'Oreal youth Code has become the new Rock Star. A lot of people aged from 20-45 are talking about it, using and reviewing it. Before I start, I read people's reviews from Europe, US and Asia, over 95% users highly recommend it for its high cost-performance ratio, amazing effect and low price. Compared with Lancome, most of users would prefer to pay for L'Oreal.
That is how it comes to me. Two of my friends are the royal fans of Youth Code Serum. They introduced it to me and insisted I should have a try. So I purchased it from the closest supermarket for 169kr with 15% off (coupon from the supermarket, not from L'Oreal). I also added the Youth Code Night Cream in my shopping cart for 129kr (-15%). In total I paid 253.3kr, equal €30. They were really cheap. I was kind of excited about the price. I tried immediately that night before bed.
Firstly I noticed the Youth Code Serum European version adopts a straw instead of a pump. That doesn't really make any difference between functions except it simply shows much closer to Lancome and Estee Lauder, who used the same packages. High-Tech? Alright! The texture is light and smooth. Grey-white transparent color looks like rice soup, no smell. Everything seems alright so far. I did three drops on face, and another two drops on the neck. It was very easy to massage to the whole skin. As I have the habbit to apply night cream as the end step of the skin care procedure every day, I also tried the Youth Code Night Cream that night, a rare light-purple color cream with a thicker texture than the serum, slightly chemical smell, not bad. Then I went to bed with a happy mood. The next morning when I woke up and stood in the bathroom, I saw a different me from the mirror. It was AMAZING! My forehead was so bright and smooth like i was still sixteen with the best age of skin. Skin became softer than before. Small winkles on face went invisible, even the stubborn neck winkles went lighter. The parts I wasn't happy with was a red mark (been there for half a year and i don't know how to get rid of) on my right cheek and my dark under-eye circles still there. Slight red blood under the skin can still be seen on the cheek and around the nose but went apparently lighter. But I couldn't ask for more than how it was by using this little magical bottle only once. You have no idea how surprised I was because I have been using a lot of skin care products for ten years, none of them made such visible changes through just one night. Moreover, it is so affordable!
After 10 days applying of youth Code Serum every morning and night (night cream was only used at night), I couldn't help falling in love with it. I believe my skin has been changed with someone younger, only a little bit muscle and skin lifting job, am going to be back to 18 again. Then I understood why everybody was crazy about it and I decided to keep using it! I called my husband to buy some more back home because I was informed the KICKS (largest Swedish make-up store) was promoting Youth Code Serum for only 158kr in just a limited time. Well, my husband then asked me, are you sure you wanna buy that many? what exactly inside to make it so good? A terrific question! Why is it so good? I suddenly remembered skin experts once told me about the collegan, something (supposed to be natural) you can take to make your skin young, your hair and nails shining. If the effect of one brand of collegan appears in a very very short time, that usually means it contains hormones which should NOT been add into collegan. Then you should keep away from this brand. So, soon I was a little scared. Does the Youth Code Serum contain any hormonal ingredients to make my skin so good?!
I then searched the ingredients of Youth Code Serum online (there are so many different versions and you never know which is the right one), using the website CosDNA to analyse. The result shows, actually there are some ingredients without any safety estimation information from CIR, RTECS and FDA. One of them is Bifida Ferment lysate, the key activity element also included in Lancome Genifique and Estee Launder ANR, was discovered to help the skin repair itself? But why no information about it? Is it because this is a new creation (Lancome and L'Oreal also claims that) with new ingredients? I am not an expert in medicine or chemistry, as a normal customer, I started to doubt the safety of these ingredients.Who can proof they are completely safe for a long-term usage? Until I found this post (click it to read what the PICU doctor Christine researched about Youth Code Serum) from 15 Minute Beauty. I sort of got my answer.
