I find retinols dry out parts of my combo skin so I’m really glad this doesn’t do that. While yes it does have an oily texture this does absorb over time and helps with the moisture absorbency in my opinion. This works really well

Brightened my skin and maintained hormonal acne, would visibly treat my larger spots overnight! Also was nicely hydrating when I forgot my moisturiser

Definitely not good for fungal acne, didn’t know I had FA and that this was contributing to it- would continue to use if that wasn’t the case :P

It makes my skin feel amazing. I get flaky angry patches sometime, I rub some genefique on at night and by morning it's gone or almost gone. Everyone I know has Said my skin looks so much better. They don't know I started using this. It also cleared up poison ivy that I had on my arms for weeks. I got desperate and used the genifique. It was almost gone the next day. This is expensive but worth Show more
