What is L’oreal Youth Code Serum Intense? 

Youth Code is a new line of anti aging skin products by L’oreal. Youth Code Serum Intense is one of the products in the anti aging skin care line promising to rejuvenate the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and leave facial features appearing more rested. After 10 years of research, L’oreal scientists claim to have unlocked the code of skin’s youth by discovering a specific set of genes that are responsible for sa skin cell’s natural power of regeneration.  Youth Code’s breakthrough GenActiv Technology is the key to  increase skin’s natural powers of regeneration, boosting skin’s own capacity for recovery.

The unique non-greasy formula is soaked up by the skin leaving it hydrated, less fatigued and so smooth that fine lines and wrinkles are less noticeable. L’oreal Youth Code Serum Intense has 10 X more concentrated GenActiv Technology daily activating serum than any other L’oreal product. What exactly does serum do? Serum is a highly concentrated product based on water oil like any other cream. Serums however contain about ten times more of biologically active substances than creams. Serums, or active substances, act in the same way as creams. They rejuvenate and moisturize the skin. However, in contrast to creams, serum active substances assimilate easier  giving  visible results quicker. L’oreal says that their Youth Code Serum Intense will yield better results  when used with other Youth Code products. Because the cream creates a protective layer which will conserve the serum against evaporation and the skin against discomfort and dryness. Cream and serum strengthen each other’s action. 

Main Ingredients in L’oreal Youth Code Serum Intense

GenActiv Technology is the key to L’oreal’s Youth Code Serum Intense. It’s a powerful  formula that includes 3 key ingredients:

1) Biolysat, a good bacteria, speeds up the recovery time of the genes ensuring that they remain plumped up and your skin is wrinkle free

2) Adenosine, a molecule that naturally exists in skin’s DNA and is essential to proper cell functioning; is an anti-inflammatory that increase tissue repair and reconstruction

3) Proprietary blend of peptides give signals to the skin that it has lost collagen and the production of more is necessary

Final Thoughts on L’oreal Youth Code Serum Intense

L’oreal Youth Code Serum Intense can be purchased at most retail or drug stores. There has been a great amount of research done on the gene regenerating abilities within the skin cell. L’oreal claims to have ten years into this, although other companies also have this same claim. L’oreal says they had a breakthrough discovering the ingredients in their GenActiv Technology, but other skin care products also have some of the same ingredients. Most serums pack more of a punch than just cream alone. Serums ingredients penetrate the cell faster, so it will work a little quicker. About half the customer reviews I read said they really liked the softness L’oreal Youth Code Serum Intense gave them, but it lacked the ability to instantly make them look refreshed.
