Shoppers praise 'top of the range' serum in gift set price drop
The Lancôme Advanced Génifique Skincare 30ml Routine Set contains a serum, eye cream and peptide cream
Skincare fans have been rushing to snap up a luxury beauty set that saves shoppers more than £50 on a serum that ''makes a huge difference to the skin'. Lancôme's Advanced Génifique Serum is usually £70 to buy, but as part of a discounted gift set at LookFantastic, customers can pick it up for the equivalent of £17.
The Lancôme Advanced Génifique Skincare 30ml Routine Set has a value of £109.50, but has been reduced at the retailer to £51.10. For those intrigued by high-end skincare but hesitant to splash out, the set provides the chance to sample a full Lancôme routine at a fraction of the cost.
Inside, customers will discover some of Lancôme's top-selling formulas designed to hydrate, smooth, and brighten the complexion. The kit contains a serum, eye cream and peptide cream, which average out at £17.16 each - quite impressive considering one of the products would cost shoppers four times as much individually.
The Advanced Génifique Serum (30ml), typically priced at £70, is a fast-absorbing, silky serum enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and pre- and probiotic-derived extracts. It's renowned for enhancing skin texture and radiance.
Currently, the serum is reduced to £52 at LookFantastic, making it still cheaper to purchase the full set. Meanwhile, Boots is offering this Lancôme Génifique Glow Getters Star Gift Set, which also includes the serum at a discounted rate, reports Bristol Live.

Product Description
Valued at £74.75, the Boots selection is now £32.70 and features a 20ml bottle of the serum alongside a mini Lash Idôle Mascara and Lip Idôle Butterglow Lip Balm. Both great items for travelling and trips away.
The Génifique Serum has won over legions of skincare devotees, becoming the star product to clinch the sales of the LookFantastic set blessed with unanimous five-star reviews online. One fan said: "Lovely set, especially when on offer. I have used this serum for years now and am obsessed! Soaks in well and leaves my skin feeling soft."
Meanwhile, another shopper shared: "I can only review the serum at this stage due to using it prior to this purchase. Because of how much I rate this serum was the main reason for buying this gift set. The serum is top of the range, absorbs so well and a small amount does go a very long way. My skin feels so fresh and soft to the touch after. I have high hopes for the other two products. The other factor in buying this was due to it being on offer. I just wish I had taken advantage and bought more than one box at the time."
Not all the products earned universal praise, yet customers still awarded top marks to the edit as the complete package comes cheaper than snagging the serum by itself. One noted: "Like the lightweight consistency of the serum, very hydrating as well. The eye cream is good but not sure with the cream."
A fourth happy customer penned: "This set is wonderful. The serum makes your face feel silky soft," and remarked that the entire collection is charming. "Would be great as a makeup base. The whole set is lovely. I got it on offer, so it's quite pricey, so I'm not sure I'll buy at full price, but will definitely keep an eye on offers."
The serum, praised on LookFantastic for ' making a huge difference to the skin ', has customers raving about repurchasing 'so many bottles'. Yet, a Boots customer commented: "Not bad but don't think it's for me. I noticed that it does block pores which is less than ideal for me. I tried the previous serum, it was more suitable."
Besides the famed serum, beauty buffs can indulge in the Génifique Eye Cream, celebrated for its fatigue-erasing and brightness-boosting abilities, or treat their complexion to the Rénergie HPN 300-Peptide Cream - crafted to defy gravity with over 300 peptides, hydration wizard hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.
In other skincare deals, Liz Earle's Radiant Glow Routine set has been slashed by 35%. Normally priced at £80, this three-piece skincare set is now £52. That's a £28 saving on a set with skincare essentials that help clarify and cleanse the skin. Alternatively, Boots £10 Tuesday is a one-day flash sale which sees dozens of individual products slashed to £10.

'The formula glides smoothly , providing rich, even colour with just one swipe. It feels incredibly lightweight on the lips, yet it offers full coverage that lasts impressively throughout the day.

Best day to shop at retailers including Aldi, Lidl and B&M – including when Poundland cuts prices to 25p
BARGAIN HUNT Best day to shop at retailers including Aldi, Lidl and B&M – including when Poundland cuts prices to 25p Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WE all love a bargain and shopping at the right time might just bag you one. Many stores have one-off specials or heavily reduce items on certain days or at the same time each week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Shopping at the right time could bag you a bargain Credit: Alamy If you know when, you can be front of the queue to get them. As the cost of living crisis continues, it's more important than ever to make sure you bag items at the lowest price possible. From B&M and Poundland, Primark, Boots and Aldi - here's our cut out and keep guide to help you plan your shopping trips and save pounds. B&M Wednesday morning is the best day to shop at B&M for the most significant savings. A store manager revealed that staff are given a list of items to reduce on a Tuesday night, with new prices ready to go by around 10am on Wednesday. You might also see reductions on Thursdays and Saturdays though, as these are the days stores try to flog old stock and seasonal items at lower prices. It's best to head in on these days in the morning, as staff begin reducing products around 7.30am. Poundland Poundland reduces the price of perishable items to 50p if the best-before date expires that day before shops open. But a little-known tip, which the retailer has previously confirmed, is that any food item unsold by 4pm will be reduced again to just 25p. So it could be worth popping in when your local branch opens OR mid-afternoon. I get stopped in the street by people asking where my perfume's from - it's a dupe of a designer scent & saves me £135 Boots Head to Boots on a Tuesday to get amazing deals on everything from electrical goods to beauty and health products. That's when the chain runs its 24-hour £10 Tuesday flash sale. What's on offer varies every week but tooth whitening kits have been spotted for as much as 80% off. All deals are available online too. Home Bargains New stock is usually delivered around 7.30am so head to your local branch as soon as it opens for the best chance of snapping up good deals. Blogger Tom Church says this is when you have the biggest selection of items to choose from. Yankee candles worth £10 have been picked up for as little as £2.99 if you go early doors. TK Maxx Shoppers will get more money off if they head to stores on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On a Tuesday, they do something called "subs". This is further reductions on stuff that's already on clearance. On a Wednesday, the next round of clearance items are marked down so first thing on a Thursday is a great time to snap up whatever is left. Tesco Head to Tesco in the evening to get food for half price. Staff slap yellow stickers on around 8pm so go late to nab bargains. SkintDad blogger Naomi Willis said she found items reduced by as much as 50% by shopping after 8pm. Aldi Aldi launches new Specialbuys every Thursday and Sunday - and that's the best time to nab them. Items can include anything from pizza ovens to air fans and power tools. For an even better chance of bagging the best times, head there at opening time. Once they're gone, they're gone. Lidl Lidl discount items that haven't sold on a Sunday, ready to make way for new lines. Sundays and Thursdays are also the days it refreshes the Middle of Lidl items, which can include all sorts from gardening essentials to outdoor furniture. Unlike other supermarkets, food items that are near the use-by date will often be reduced at the start of the day so it's better to go early if you can as you can expect as much as 30% off the original price. Sainsbury's Sainsbury's often slaps yellow stickers on around 5pm, so the best time to visit is between 5pm and 7pm - ideal if you are popping in after work. This does vary from branch to branch. On a Sunday, items are heavily reduced around 2.30pm before early closing. Morrisons Morrisons will reduce food by up to 90% at around 5pm. The best bargains are usually amongst ready meals, dairy, pies, fresh meat, bread and fruit and vegetables. Sunday lunchtime is a hot tip too - as they want to clear out stock near its due date by the end of the week. Ask staff about reduction times. They are often more than happy to help as reducing waste is part of their store policy. Asda Asda applies yellow stickers to food items twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening. Fresh produce like fruit and veg can be reduced to as little as 10p, especially in the morning reductions. Stores that open early at 6am or 7am are great for nabbing bargains early doors. Primark New stock is delivered on Thursday nights so Friday mornings between 9am and 12pm is prime time to grab a bargain. If you find an item with minor imperfections it's also worth asking for a discount - you can expect around 10%. H&M Most branches do their biggest restock on a Monday. This means clothing that hasn't shifted may be reduced late first thing on a Monday morning. Be wary of buying clothes in a flash sale. The sale will continue until everything is sold so prices could be discounted further. M&S At M&S, staff put yellow stickers on food near its sell-by date through the night. So if you want a bargain, go when it opens. A second round of reductions takes place between 2pm and 4pm but most employees say the best stuff is often gone by then. Vegetables will be reduced in price again at 4pm. Next Next is famous for its seasonal sales giving customers the chance to save big on clothing and homeware. The biggest one is the Boxing Day sale where you can expect up to 70% off. But the summer sale - usually in July - can see prices slashed by up to 50%. Eager shoppers often head to their nearest store in the early hours before the earlier opening time at 6am. While this may seem excessive, getting down early does help you bag the best deals.

'We've saved serious cash by changing our shopping days' SAVVY saver Julia Maggiorana, 28, is an account manager who lives in West London, with her husband and three-month-old daughter Matilde. She says: "Since going on maternity leave, we are down to one salary at home so it is important to me to save money where I can and get good deals. "My friends call me the Queen of the bargains but my biggest win was finding out you can get stuff with big discounts if you go to Lidl either on a Sunday evening or first thing Monday morning. "I found out when I went in last year looking to buy some baking trays. When I saw the price, I realised they were more expensive than they had been the previous week. "I asked the man behind the till why they were now double the price and he said 'It's a bit of secret but if you come on a Sunday evening or early on a Monday morning, you might find items have a bigger discount'. "That is when they stock up with new products and have to try and shift some of the old lines. "This baking tray was from a new stock. I went back on the Sunday evening and he was right. I paid £4 instead of £10, so a saving of £6. I was really proud of this discovery. "Ever since then I've carried on shopping either late or Sunday or first thing on Monday and I've picked up some real bargains, especially kitchen items from the Ernesto range. "I've found that if items don't sell, they will often drop the price by 50% on a Sunday evening. The best ones were a casserole dish which was around £30 discounted to £14.99 and it's great quality and a Silvercrest air fryer that was reduced to £29.99 instead of £49.99. I've saved at least £300 this year." Esther Portlock, 52, is a nurse who lives in Bristol with her husband Greg, also 52. She says: "All my friends call me the coupon queen. I absolutely love getting a discount. I use lots of vouchers and I also have a blue light card which gets me lots of deals. "But one of my best tips is to go to Morrisons at lunchtime on a Sunday. It's amazing what you can get - the bargains are ridiculous. I'm coeliac so have to buy a lot of gluten free food, which can be expensive. "This week I went into Morrisons on Sunday lunch time and I got my preferred gluten free tiger loaf for 35p instead of £3.50. It's great value and has lasted me all week. "I've got into a routine now. I go to Pilates with my friend. We have a coffee and then get to Morrisons for around 1pm. "We don't fight for it but there is sometimes a bit of a squabble between us over what is left as there are so many amazing prices. "I got a cottage pie for my husband for 50p, reduced from £5.50. I fill the freezer with whatever is on offer - meat joints, gluten free food, ready meals, whatever I can find. "There might be ready-made sandwiches for 35p and last week I got some cookies as a treat. They were 50p reduced from £2. Getting these savings helps me end my week on a high!"
