I really wanted to love this based on all the great reviews it had on Sephora. I purchased this product and used it for two days and thought all was well until it I started getting small bumps on my face and red patches! Not sure if this was an allergic reaction but I don't think I ever reacted so horribly to a product.
I gave it a 2 because I loved the texture of this product.
This product is on the upper end as far as pricing.

I have been using this product for a week and am highly disappointed. I have very sensitive skin and I am already starting to break out. With such a high price tag, this is definitly going back.

Lancôme Visionnaire in a skin perfecter treatment products that aims at diminishing wrinkles, minimizing pores and giving evenness to the skin.
I have been using Lancôme Visionnaire for 5 weeks now. And I am extremely disappointed. I bought the bigger bottle and it cost 90 euros. I had never bought such an expensive serum before but others spoke volumes of it so I gave it a try. But this money was just not well spent.
My pores are the same, I don't have wrinkles, I am 23 but I expected to have smaller pores and a more velvety skin. But nothing happened.
And the gorgeous and luxurious packaging does not comfort me for my disappointment,
I had bought the Genifique product on a whim and decided I liked it so decided to buy the new "miracle" Visionnaire product. Initially I did notice some improvement in my skintone, a reduction in laughter lines around my eyes (although they were not exactly deep set) and it cleared up some little dry patches I developed around my eyes after having my daughter. That being said I did notice that my cheeks became bumpy (not spotty just bumpy in texture) and I wouldn't say it helped the hormonal breakouts I get on my chin. I finished the bottle last week (another reviewer was spot on that the bottle is completely impractical to get all of the serum out) and I will say that the drynes around my eyes has returned, as has the dryness around my nose although the bumpy texture has gone. Really a bit too hit and miss for such an expensive product.

After using this product for about 3 weeks, I have seen a slight improvement in my skin. Since there are so many factors that attritube to skin improvement, I am not entirely sure that Visionnaire is what worked the magic, but it seems to be the most likely answer. Most improvements were seen with my skintone, pores,and especially with redness in my skin. My only beef with this product is that after application, sometimes my cheeks will warm up and turn red for a few minutes. I don't think it's an allergic reaction as I've had no break-outs and this occurs very randomly, so it's a bit baffling.

I have problem skin -- large pores, acne-prone, acne scars, uneven skin tone, etc. I bought this at the recommendation of my little sister, who has the same problems.
I have been using the product for a week, once or twice a day. I do see an improvement in my skin. It's not drastic, but it is there. There's just an overall improvement that is hard to describe precisely. Things look smoother, more even.
That being said, I'm not sure if I would buy this again just yet. It was crazy expensive.
I'm not crazy about the bottle itself. You can't see how much is left inside and the pump it uses is not my favorite. It's one of those pumps where any excess gets down in between the pump cap and the bottle top, which is an annoying waste. These pumps also tend to get a little crusty at the dispensing hole.
I'm giving this a 4 based on my skin's appearance right now, but we'll see how long the bottle lasts. If it runs out quickly or if the results aren't solid and lasting, I would downgrade this to a 3, maybe even a 2 once the extreme price were taken into consideration.

I really wish I didn't like this product but I love it! I received two samples of this when I purchased the Lancome eye cream with spf (hate it), initially I fell in love with the texture of the serum, it just melts into the skin and leaves it feeling really slick and more refined instantly. Over time the serum really tightens pores. I haven't used it long enough to see it fade my acne scars but it is helping. I usually steer clear of products that don't have a lot of actual proven active ingredients (retinol, peptides, vitamin c...) but I had my eye on this serum for a while. I will definitely repurchase this serum.
EVERYTHING breaks me out - but not this product!
It is lightweight, and smooths right into my skin. There is no burn, which I've experienced with similar products. It is really refreshing and seems to sooth my red/irritated skin.
I had given up on moisturizers completely before I tried a sample of this product and now I'm hooked! My skin is blemish-prone and tends to be uneven and inflamed in my cheeks to such an extent that I have to use concealer to cover up the redness.
After using this product, my face is calm, smooth, and refreshed.
The price tag is more than I care to spend on any facial product - but it's worth it to have something that calms my skin so wonderfully.
I will continue using this product for as long as it is available. It's truly heaven in a bottle!

I went through an entire bottle of this product, hoping that it would be a good alternative to retinol. (Retinol irritates my skin.) It did not break me out, but I saw zero improvement in the tone, texture, or clarity of my skin. My large pores stayed large and the wrinkle on my forehead looked exactly the same. For me, this was completely ineffective and a total waste of money.
Performance: It actually minimise my milia seed like bumpy thing on my cheek. I tried to get rid of this tiny flesh coloured bumps with many products but nothing seem works (never try surgery treatment). Pores are noticeably smoother. BUT the very downside of this product is that it makes me broke out (acne). I'm not sure if it is 100% caused by this product, because many people claim that it does not broke them out compared to Genifique. It is too bad because if it does not break me out I will definitely buy it again to control my bumps. Even my mum was impressed when she first noticed my cheek because she hates how bumpy my cheek was. Another downside is my face gets very oily in the afternoon.
Texture: Easy to glide on. Absorb fast and no sticky feeling
Scent: I don't really like the chemical like scent
Packaging: Very elegant, come with pumped bottle but i don't like it because I can't see how much i have been using!
Worthiness: If it doesn't broke me out i think it is quite worthy.
The Lancome seller suggest me to use the emulsion from the same range to avoid oiliness/ broke out. I haven't buy it yet but will update soon.
(UPDATE) I managed to get few sample of Visionnaire emulsion from the lancome counter and started using it for the second day. I think I have found the solution to the breakouts by using the serum. I don't really want to waste the serum because i had spent a lot of money on it, however the emulsion itself costs as much as the serum (30ml) itself, which is really expensive. By using the emulsion with the serum (with the Visionnaire Toner too), in the next norning, my skin is glowing and the acne scar is diminished by at least 50%. The acne is healed by 50-80% % too ( i have alots of breakout recently), which is pretty amazing. Apart from that, my skin texture is smoother, pores are visibly smaller, the bumpy seeds on my face are getting smaller. I pretty sure this serum will react with other cosmetic ingredient because it stings whenever i apply moisturiser apart from the Visionnaire emulsion. It might be the skin overreact and allergic to the reaction of the serum with other chemical and cause acne (i read from online saying acne might be allergy of the skin). Therefore, i recommend to use it only during the night time for treatment purpose when you are wearing make up in the day time. I revised the rating from 1 into 4 star only because the whole range is really expensive, and will only give it 5 star when my skin is completely flawless (Lol)
Update: It is totally a waste..my face never cleared from acne as new one keeps popping out..Im very pissed because i spent alot on this craps!!
