Ok, I never owned anything from Lancome before, not even a perfume sample. I hate most of their bestsellers, so I tend to avoid this brand. But then I read about their rose face mask and I somehow had weeks when I was obsessed with roses (probably lockdown blues), so I had to try this. And yes, I always complain that my skincare stuff is too big to carry around and neglect my face if I travel.
Cleansers & Masks Gift Set by Lancôme contains five skincare products:
- Lait Lalatee Confort (cleansing milk) – 50ml
- Tonique Confort (toner) – 50ml
- Advanced Genifique Concentre (serum) – 7ml
- Hydra Zen Gel Creme – 15ml
- Hydra Zen Jelly Mask – 50ml
Cleansing milk – I find this one most useful for cleaning my eye makeup. It is very gentle to my eyes, but also effective enough. For removing a full face of makeup, it would not be enough, you would need an extra step. It has a very pleasant creamy/rosy smell, the whole set smell very similar basically, I enjoy it, but for some could be overwhelming. I don’t use these types of cleansers, so I won't buy the full size.
Toner – mild toner, leaves your skin feeling super fresh, but doesn’t dry it out. Maybe it’s more suitable for sensitive or dry skin, I like stronger toners for my oily T-zone, that’s why I’m not planning to buy it.
Serum – it comes in a very small amount, so I can’t talk about major changes or benefits on my skin. I use it when I feel the need to put something extra on my skin. Usually when my cheeks get dry or just to comfort my skin after a day on the sun. It is not very heavy, so it is suitable even for greasy skin, just use it in a small amount. Again, I will not repurchase this, I found serums much more suitable for my skin.
Gel crème – in the big sea of fancy moisturizers, I find this to be very pleasant and approved by my face. I use this as nigh-time cream because I don’t like the glow that it leaves. For a gel, it is quite rich, but not too heavy, and the scent that it leaves is just divine. I would buy this one in full size, I think the price is not that high in our country and it would make it a great winter night cream.
Mask – another love. This was the reason I bought the set in the first place. I use this once a week, usually during my bath, and just enjoy it a lot. It leaves my skin nicely hydrated and super soft. Again the smell of it is fantastic and gives me that luxurious spa feeling. I believe you can also use this as cream in a thin layer, but that is more appropriate for dry skin types. I would like to buy this again, maybe even their rose sugar face scrub from the same line.
CONCLUSION: This set is definitely worth its price and I would highly recommend it, especially if our skin is on the dryer side or as something richer for greasy types for wintertime. The gift box that comes with is not very nice, it looks very cheap for a gift, so that bothers me. If you buy it just for yourself, it’s not that problematic. I’m curious about Lancome skincare now, I would like to try more and some of their products have actually a normal price. So yes, treat yourself with this one for sure!
