The vanity is mostly La Mer
Skin’s better. Used to be a constant acne face; now maybe one or two before a period. Old marks faded. Finer, smoother, a bit of glow versus five years ago — also possible I eat better and stress less. Products don’t get all the credit.
Genaissance line
The whole line works. The lotion is oil + water in one bottle: feeds dry skin without that pore-clogging film acne skin hates. Recommend.
The cream at night has a scent that makes me want to sleep. That’s not a joke.
The serum is not good value. Fine if the budget is already this high. Results are mid.
Creams
Classic cream + Genaissance is the combo I keep. Tried three. Miracle Night Cream was hyped; Genaissance did more. Miracle sits light — almost like you skipped it. Classic cream vs lotion is preference. Winter cream actually holds water. Season-change flush hasn’t shown up while these are on the shelf.
Waters
Treatment Lotion / essence is the starter. Any skin can try it first. Genaissance water feels richer. Both can live on the same table.
Serums / oil
The oil (Concentrate) sells out for a reason. In winter, emulsify a drop into cream. The concentrated serum is the spare in the drawer for when skin stings after sun — calm, not glow.
That’s the shelf. Not a religion. Just the bottles I empty.
