Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Serum Cream

This is a 2 in 1 serum cream with 20% vitamin C and SPF 15 cream. Vitamin C is an antioxidant helping boost the brightness in skin and SPF helping to protect your skin from the sun and sun damaged spots. These two work hand in hand.

I haven’t quite seen a serum cream like it before which I found really cool. It has a really nice light scent- not overly florally or sunscreeny.

The packaging is a pump bottle, which works great for a serum - not so much a cream, which kind of makes pumping out the product hard, it’s fine for the first pump, but with SPF you need to get good coverage so sometimes it can get stuck after the second pump as it’s thick. After initial use you get that glowy look without being oily, and it dries down beautifully. Make up goes on fine over it as well, no piling.

I would definitely say after using it consistently my skin isn’t looking so dull and even has a slight glow to it without makeup.

I would definitely recommend this product for someone on the go who doesn’t have time to layer up their products.

Loved this product, found that it really brightened my complexion and absorbed into my skin easily, it also has a very pleasant subtle scent. It works effortlessly under make up and provides a perfectly hydrated base. My only flaw with this product is that I’m not sure if I like the combined serum/cream scenario and think I would rather use two seperate products. Aside from that loved it!

This is soo soft and I love it. Perfect daily moisturiser. Also great that it has SPF! New holy grail

I am absolutely thrilled with the Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Serum Cream! This product has become a part of my daily skincare routine. The fact that this serum cream combines both Vitamin C goodness and SPF 15 in one product has been a real game-changer. This innovative approach not only saves time in the morning but also provides me with the confidence that my skin is shielded from harmful UV rays throughout the day.

With consistent use, I've noticed a visible improvement in the overall radiance and texture of my skin. The serum cream's lightweight and non-greasy texture makes it a pleasure to apply, and it gets absorbed quickly without leaving any residue. The pump dispenser ensures that I can easily control the amount of product I use, preventing wastage, which is a bonus. I would recommend this product.

I absolutely adore this product. It's so lightweight but instantly refreshing. The first time I applied this to my face, I could feel my skin instantly rejuvenate, my skin was absolutely parched and it was like having a big chug of water, it immediately sunk in and my skin felt smooth and supple, I was very impressed by how quickly I noticed anything at all. It's definitely non greasy, even after I accidentally used far too much, it still absorbed immediately (although my skin was Sahara desert dry). It also smells divine, it's a very citrusy scent, but it's not overwhelming and the scent does fade after a while. The product itself dispenses easily and 1-2 pumps is more than enough to do my entire face, sometimes I do a few extra pumps on a particularly dry day, but I can already see this is going to last a long time, even with multiple reapplications. I love the size of the bottle, 50ml is more than enough to last a long time, while still being the perfect handbag size, I now carry this with me everywhere. While I tend to still use a higher spf in my day to day foundation, SPF15 is still better than nothing and I love that I can quickly reapply this on the go. It goes well under makeup but also brightens your skin enough that there's been quite a few days where I haven't worn any make up at all. I am utterly obsessed with this and I don't see this leaving my skin care routine anytime soon.

I liked this product but I can’t say I’ve used it long enough to see any long term effects. I’m going to keep using it for sure and I’m hoping it will be brightening. Based on my use so far, it’s a nice light product that applies smoothly and absorbs in. It doesn’t leave my skin sticky and I like that it has SPF.

I was very pleasantly surprised to like this product as much as I did. So much so, I will be incorporating it into my daily skincare routine. The product comes in a pump bottle, which makes for super easy application, and is more hygienic than dipping into a pot. however, this does likely mean more product wastage than other methods. The smell is amazing, it's super fresh and clean, and felt refreshing to put on.

The cream itself goes on like a dream, its super smooth and velvety, and absorbs quickly. Works great under makeup and has the added benefit of having SPF protection. It generally just feels good on the skin. In terms of benefits and skin improvements, while it takes a while / few months to really see the benefits of most skincare, but I have actually noticed some nice changes already. My skin definitely looks more alive, and some light redness from old acne has faded already, so my complexion looks more even now.

I will definitely continue to use this as a nice, light, daily moisturiser, and it's super handy to be able to access this from the supermarket, and at a very affordable price. A winning product in my eyes.

As a background to my skin type, I have combination skin that is typically oily on my nose/chin and normal elsewhere. I’m prone to the occasional breakout on my chin.

I love the fresh scent, it smells like a combination of cucumber and citrus to me. This product is ideal to use under my makeup. I found that it absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't leave any noticeable residue. It creates the perfect smooth skin texture to glide foundation over. And on the days I can't be bothered with makeup, it gives a lovely glow to my skin that gives my face some life! I find some products that say they will give a "glow" are actually just greasy, but this product is not greasy at all.

I'd prefer to use a higher SPF product during summer, but I'm happy to use the SPF15 in the cooler winter days. Keep in mind that it's a slightly thicker formula which means on colder mornings it can sometimes be difficult to pump out of the bottle. Once you warm the bottle up a bit, the product will pump out.

Overall I have really enjoyed using this product and will continue to use it for the remainder of winter.

This product was incredible. The smell was only slight. Although I prefer to have something with no smell.

My skin looks healthier, more refreshed and hydrated.

It hasn’t caused me more breakouts than normal as this is what I worry about due to breaking out easily.

The product did exactly what it said it would.

I love how it’s got sunscreen in it also. I will definitely get it again! I wished it came in a bigger bottle!!!!
