Lancome Aqua Fusion

TheSoCalledPrep · 19-08-2004

New product from Lancome... has anyone tried it, or is anyone planning on it? It looks promising, but with my Lancome experiences, there's only a 50% chance of it being a good product...

A sales assistant once told me that lancome and l'oreal are made by the same people and that the main difference is price tag. Does anyone know if there is any truth behind this?

Softie mentioned something about this once... and lots of people on MUA rave about L'Oreal. Hmm.

Lancome is just under the L'Oreal Group, and from my own experiences, lots of products by Lancome work great on me, but barely any by L'Oreal.
for example, Estee Lauder and Shiseido also has many brands under it's group, but that doesn't mean they are all equal to EL or Shiseido

Plumour · 20-08-2004

sounds great, I'll give it a try after I'm finished (hopefully) with the tremendous amount of skincare products I've got now

I've always loved most Lancome products, they are fabulous on me

PradaP · 20-08-2004

sounds like Lancome's equivalence to Chanel Hydramax+or EL HydraComplete

Actually I just bought this last weekend and have been using it for a week now. My skin stays hydrated all day, but not oily. I used to have dry patches when I would look in the mirror in the afternoon, and now I don't have them anymore. And it didn't make my sensitive skin break out either.

BTW - I tried the lotion. I may do the cream come wintertime.

And I have heard the rumor about Lancome and L'oreal being the same company, and also the same company as "No Name" Cosmetics which allow independant retailers to purchase blank cosmetics and put their name on it. Although, I do think the cosmetics and the skin/hair-care products are separate.

I've been using it for a few days and love it. The moisturizer is very light and I get the SPF protection too.
