Rated 5 out of 5 by doggiesnuggler Skin Brightener & Lifter, Foundation Primer - SUPERIOR PRODUCT!
I'm in LOVE with this product! I can't say enough good things about it. I noticed a difference right away in the topical brightening effect of my skin and the longer I use it, the treatment effects appear without anything on my skin. My 47 year old skin looks more firm, especially when I use is down my neck and dec. I use it as a treatment under my foundation, as a foundation primer and in place of foundation. All I have to do is apply it and brush my Dual Finish over the top and I'm good to go. I apply it even when I don't have anywhere to go because it makes my skin look beautiful and adds just the right amount of moisture to my dry skin. love the fragrance too and I usually prefer unscented products but this smells beautiful and yummy. I'm on my second tube and I wish I could buy it by the vat! I'm in love with this product and I highly recommend it!

Poodlemama9 Renergie Tinted is a Home Run!
I love this product. I am a long-time Lancome user, since 1977. I have tried other tints and foundations, but always return to the Renergie product. Since retiring 5 years ago, I have gotten lazy and no longer wear full makeup daily like I did when I worked in an office so....when I saw this product I was thrilled. The price is a bit daunting but like everything else, 'you get what you pay for' and this is no exception. I am 70 years old so am always looking for a product to make me look 40....just kidding....but certainly a product that makes my skin look and feel good. In the Renergie Foundation, I wear Lifting Dore 25(W) mixed with Lifting Dore 30(W) so the #3 shade in Renergie Multi-Action Tinted compliments my skin color. It adds just enough glow to cover imperfections while lifting and making my skin feel hydrated. I apply it over my Renergie Multi-Lift Moisturizer for Dry Skin for the added moisturizer. I recommend this product to anyone who wants to have their skin look better than it does without makeup but doesn't require a full makeup. I will use this daily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skeeta Time saver. Skin looks GREAT. WORTH IT. EVERY PENNY. WORTH IT.
I had the temporary but quite heartbreaking circumstance earlier this year of my fantastic best friend / husband / beyond soul mate being in the hospital in the final stages of terminal illness. That's a grim beginning for this review, but it tells you the stress I was under, and we all know how awful hospitals are to be in, especially if you are pretty much living in your loved one's hospital room day and night.
This product had me looking GOOD quickly - cared for. One step. Put it on - and forget about it.
I am 53. Long time Lancome user. Long time.
I bought it quickly at the counter with no real guidance. While it does not say "BB"/beauty balm on it, this product goes far beyond any claim of any BB type product I've tried.
The only thing I would have done differently - had I had the focus to do so - would have been to either reapply it after about six hours or so - or have added a good Lancome moisturizer with sunscreen underneath. This product HAS sunscreen in it. I seemed to pick up more sun induced color during the time I was sitting near the hospital room window and driving back and forth to/from the hospital. - I'm saying I got more sun on my face during this time than I had in other normal circumstances and wearing either the Renergie foundation or my newest product love, the Absolue foundation.
What I just described may have had not much to do with this product. Don't know - just mentioning it.
I love the applicator on the tube for this product, It never failed me. No clog. No banging the tube to get the interior product near the whatever inside the tube to get the product to come out.
Blurs lines beautifully, Minimizes redness instantly - on me. Reduces appearance of pores right away. Made me look good under unflattering lighting. One never knows when some elusive doctor is dropping in to check on this and that - I was never in the bathroom or at the room window applying makeup touch-ups endlessly in a time consuming way . this product does go on easily and with a heavenly perfect (to me) amount of coverage right away. And it's one tube that fits in your purse, your tote bag, your whatever easily in case you've just got to carry only one product or two. Lightweight packaging that is still substantial. Never had it leak / cap fall off / dump product in any bag I was using.
I had to stop using the product for a while - months actually - after my husband died. It reminded me of being in the hospital. I'm back using it again. Had to run out tonight for a fast errand, and I did NOT do anything other than freshen my face with a quick rinse of water, run a cotton ball over it with one of the Lancome toners I love (that pink one is nice this October time of year for my fair and sensitive skin) and quickly, smoothly apply this product's lovely creme all over my face. It's an instant pick me up look to the skin.
I don't notice the firming qualities and that does not bother me. They are probably at work, which works for me.
The price was a bit staggering to me, but I bought it quickly when I needed something extraordinarily simple, and this product did the trick in a desperate time. I'll buy it again without hesitation. A little goes a long way - two pumps max gets me what I need for product to cover my face nicely, easily., completely. Of course no mask look at all.
Thank you Lancome for all your quality products - this one is a hero to me for many reasons. If one looks refreshed and good in a hospital setting under awful circumstances hours and hours daily and at night on end, then that's a tribute. I am NOT saying this is a long - wear product. It just works right away to make your skin look GOOD right away, and needed touch ups or refreshing after upmteen hours are easy and NOT time consuming at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cathio MY QUEST TO FIND THE PERFECT TINTED FOUNDATION... I FOUND IT!
For months I have been sampling tinted moisturizers or "BB" creams. I could not find a sample but really wanted to try it, especially due to the two new technologies Lancome uses in it. Please see their detailed description. This was the most expensive product I purchased and the price was a bit scary, because, what if I really liked it and then would have to continually purchase it at this price?!? I tried to like a couple of the others better, but, it didn't work. I could see the difference with this one. I found a real problem with the color shades of many of them. Too orangey, too ashy, too pinky-beige,blah! Most made my skin drier after using. This one gave my skin a warm, beautiful color. It's never looked better!
I always research and check ingredients before purchasing anything as I want to know I am using scientifically proven ingredients that really work, not just say they do. I noticed Lancome's had more, of the more expensive, natural type emollients. It had to be great for dry skin, and it is! It also had anti-aging ingredients, which I demand in any skin product I purchase now. The look of Lancome is more luminescent than the others, in a different way though. It looks more natural but yet has some coverage, even though light. You can build it for more coverage though. The glow it gave my skin without looking shiny and overdone was what I love about it the most. I could feel and see the moisturizing in it as well, more so than the others. After I had it on, for hours, my skin still felt the moist and had the glow. The others made my skin look more dry as they settled and any glow they gave my skin, to begin with, was gone. By the way, this is not a shiny glow, it is very natural looking, glow 'from within' look.
Another thing I love about this product, is that it has firming ingredients in it. I don't have many wrinkles yet, but they have begun! I not only want a product that makes me look good, but one that actually improves my skin with continued use, over time. This one should do it!
I do use a serum (like Visionnaire or Genifique) first , then a light moisturizer before applying this tinted moisturizer. With the Lancome I probably don't need to, but will anyway. I live in a very dry climate so need all the moisturizing I can get! My skin looks gorgeous with this tinted moisturizer on. I will continue to buy it since the others did not give me this 'look'. I look healthier with it on. A little goes a long way and I figure it should last awhile.
I originally ordered the number 3 shade but when I received it , it was just a little bit too dark, so I exchanged it for the number 2, which is perfect. I find these tinted moisturizers seem to be more forgiving in color shades than foundations. I have a medium skin tone with more of an olive base and tend to buy my foundations a little darker rather than lighter. The number 2 is a beautiful beige shade without that awful orange tint to it. I would suggest anyone with light-medium or fair skin, go with the number 1 shade. For other medium skin shades, the number 2 will do. The number 3 would work great for me with a tan but otherwise, the 2.
It would be nice if Lancome would offer smaller tubes as well, as some other companies have done, for those who would love use this but the price is too steep. Maybe a 35.00-40.00 size? Just a thought!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AuroraOH Natural looking and not oily!
I love this product. The coverage is very good yet looks natural. It feels light on the skin. I have oily skin in the "T" zone, but this product does not give me issues. I highly recommend it.
