Lancome Genifique vs L'oreal Youth Code

I've always looked younger than my actual age. I'll be 25 this year, so I'm constantly looking for new products to preserve my 17-19 year old face :P  I have a grandma that's in her 80's from Dominica, and she hardly has any wrinkles!

I tried a sample of the Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate awhile a ago and loved it. The price is what's keeping me from purchasing it. It's $60 for .67 oz, $80 for 1 oz, $100 for 1.7 oz, and $130 for 2.5 oz. I searched online to see if there was a cheaper alternative and there is. L'Oreal Youth Code Serum is basically the same thing as Lancome's Youth Activating Concentrate. ** L'Oreal owns Lancome**

Here are the ingredients below:
