Brand Description
The Lancome brand appeared in 1935 in France. The founder of the brand was Arman Ptizhan. The company was engaged in the production of cosmetic products. It all started with perfume, but the high popularity of fragrances pushed for development. Lancome began producing a line of decorative cosmetics and skin care products.
Lancome quickly entered the world market, won universal recognition, and brought its products into the luxury segment. The brand owns more than a dozen bestsellers that have broken popularity records. Each product of the company deserves attention and invariably produces results. After all, more than 3,000 researchers are working on the creation of funds.
Review of exfoliation products

Before purchasing, potential consumers are advised to read the descriptions of various brand products to make an informed choice.

Hydra Zen Jelly Mask from Lancôme: cool or dummy
In my opinion, the “night mask” care format is one of the most successful. You sleep, and the mask works with all its might, you wash your face in the morning and oops! - immediately a beauty. This is ideal. What is there in reality? Today I’ll tell you about the Hydra Zen Jelly Mask night moisturizing mask from Lancôme.
This mask comes from the Hydra Zen line, which is aimed at helping skin exposed to stress: poor environment, lack of sleep and other pleasures of modern life.
The product is available in two versions: 50 ml and 100 ml. I have 50 ml. The tube is unremarkable: an ordinary plastic one with a tight-fitting lid. It’s good that it’s transparent, you can see how much product is still left.
According to the manufacturer, this mask should moisturize the skin, restore a healthy, even complexion and add natural radiance. Complete luxury.
It is recommended to use the mask in two ways:
Apply the mask generously before going to bed and leave overnight. Use 2-3 times a week. Use as a night cream daily.
I used the product for its intended purpose, i.e. like a night mask.
The texture of the mask is gel, cool, and has a pink tint. Personally, I didn’t like the fragrance at all: according to the descriptions, it seemed like it was supposed to be completely delicious (acacia honey, almond oil and rose water), but to me it smelled like some kind of pharmaceutical herbs. Or a tincture of pharmaceutical herbs. In short, something is not the most pleasant and relaxing, but, on the contrary, hits the nose. But this is a matter of taste.
The mask applies well, but it’s obvious that it’s still a gel. It is also absorbed quite quickly. But I felt it on my face, and how. From the moment of application and for the next 20 minutes, there is a tingling sensation on the skin that turns into a slight burning sensation. There is a desire to wash yourself properly. For my taste, such an effect for a night mask is kind of strange. Let me make a reservation right away: I do not go to bed with a night mask immediately after application, but walk around with it for at least an hour. So, after an hour, a sticky film remains on the face, which rolls off and is smeared across the face in small pieces when it comes into contact with a hand or pillow. I don’t even know what and how should work to moisturize the skin at night if by the middle of the night the whole mask will be on the pillow? I tried applying a thinner mask, but didn’t notice much of a difference. Despite the fact that the manufacturer recommends applying it in a thick layer. Well, what an effect. I think it’s obvious that since the mask doesn’t really lie on the skin, in the morning I certainly didn’t see much of a difference between before and after.
The composition of the mask is below. Everything is as always here, our favorite glycerin in the company of chemical-synthetic friends.
Water, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Mel / Honey, Peg-8, Peg/Ppg/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil / Sweet Almond Oil, Ci 14700 / Red 4, Ci 17200 / Red 33, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Arginine, Salicylic Acid, Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Dimethiconol, Propanediol, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Carbomer, Geraniol , Farnesol, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Tetrasodium Edta, Citric Acid, Hexyl Cinnamal, Fragrance.
There is nothing special to add, except that the toad strangling me advises me to finish off even such a mask. But I won’t take it a second time even for nothing! Definitely a dummy!
How do you feel about night masks, do you like this format of care? And do you have masks in your arsenal that don’t stick to the pillow?)

Pros and cons of the line
A clear advantage of Lankom products is their quality, confirmed by production control, numerous studies, and regular checks of compliance with high standards. All the manufacturer’s drugs are perfectly coordinated, give effective results, and do not cause complications.
The disadvantage of Lancome products is the high probability of purchasing a counterfeit product. You can buy a fake at an attractive price, which is what most consumers do. The brand's original drugs are highly expensive. Scattered use of Lancome products (a single product of the line) rarely brings the promised results.
It is recommended to pay attention to Lancome products for those who care about a brand that confirms prestige and concern for the high quality of the products offered. You can get no less pronounced results using more modest analogues. If you have severe skin problems, it is better to pay attention to the offers of brands that produce products for professional use.

all posts by the author Good evening!
I haven’t written anything here for a long time, today I came in to see what was new and nostalgia attacked me) I decided to write about a line that I have really liked recently.
In general, I prefer organic (Ren, Dr. Hauschka, KiBio, etc.), but sometimes I alternate it with luxury.
Skin: combination, prone to dryness. Sensitive, reactive. If the products are not suitable, the pores quickly become clogged.
Products from the Hydra Zen Neuocalm line have an anti-stress effect on the skin, protecting it from harmful environmental influences and the consequences of emotional overload. Suitable for any skin type, even sensitive. Hydra Zen Neuocalm products help combat these negative effects of stress because... contain natural plant extracts (French rose, Chinese peony and moringa plant) that stimulate the production of beta-endorphin and the creation of a protective barrier of the epidermis.
1) Hydra Zen Neurocalm Soothing Anti-Stress Ultra-Moisturizing Gel Essence
Unfortunately, I did not find a description about this means.
From myself: this product is my favorite of the entire line, I’m taking it for the second time. The texture is called essence, it resembles liquid jelly. For me, this is a real serum, because... the concentration of active ingredients in it is much higher than in creams from this line. Use economically 1 pump is enough for the entire face. Absorbs quickly, apply cream on top.
Pros - good hydration (hyaluronic acid), perhaps only the two-phase serum from Clarins can compare with it, it really soothes the skin well, redness disappears within 10 minutes after application. Smooth and beautiful skin tone. It does not clog pores at all - this is very important to me.
Disadvantages - slight stickiness after application; if you do not apply cream on top, an unpleasant sensation remains. That's about it, the rest of the product suits me completely.
Price: about 3500 rub.
2) Lancome Hydra Zen Neurocalm Day Cream-Gel
There is no description here either(
From myself: the first thing worth noting is the texture! It is wonderful - it is a thick, rich cream-gel that perfectly moisturizes and protects the skin. It makes your face look noticeably fresher and more rested. Even if you apply it on top of the essence, it absorbs quickly without leaving any shine or stickiness. Doesn't clog pores.
The only downside is that the jar is not convenient, you have to reach in with your fingers and fish out the cream from there.
Price: about 2000 rub.
3) Lancome Hydra Zen Neurocalm Eye Contour Cream-Gel
Description:
The new moisturizing, soothing anti-stress cream-gel Hydra Zen Neurocalm ™ Eye Contour Cream, developed by Lancome, is created specifically to meet the needs of ultra-sensitive and delicate eyelid skin, which requires especially careful care. The Hydra Zen Neurocalm™ line is based on an exclusive herbal complex designed to bring relief to tired, sensitive skin around the eyes, relieving it of stress from the negative effects of external irritants and emotional tension. An exclusive combination of French Rose, Peony Mu Dan Pi and Moringa extracts protects the skin from the effects of stress, preventing redness and irritation. New powerful moisturizers - microcapsules containing Lipidur and hyaluronic acid, immediately provide ultra-concentrated hydration to the skin of the eyelids, which lasts for 24 hours. Targeted ceramides penetrate the epidermis to enhance the skin's protective properties and prevent dehydration. As a result: the skin around the eyes is intensively moisturized, becomes smooth and silky. Traces of fatigue disappear. Your gaze shines again.
From myself: the texture is also a thick cream-gel. I completely agree with the description. Upon application, the skin becomes truly velvety soft and well hydrated. Signs of fatigue disappear, I don’t suffer from dark circles - so I have nothing to say here. It's very economical, I've had it for about six months now. An important plus is a convenient jar with a dispenser.
Price: about 1600 rub.
In general, the line is universal, for all ages, everyone will find a product for their skin type. Still, city life, work, poor lifestyle leave their mark and not only on appearance)
We fight stress, dull complexion and lack of hydration!
Opinion of cosmetologists
Doctors prefer to use professional brand cosmetics in their work. Lancome is a well-known, widely advertised brand, but the products are designed for the mass consumer, for home care. Cosmetologists are skeptical about such substances.
The cosmetologist believes that Lancome cosmetics are only suitable for masking problems.
The cosmetologist believes that Lancome does not produce results, and the high price is an overpayment for the brand.
