Great Vitamin C Product

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.

Refreshing

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.

A great daily cream

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.

Tips: Although it has SPF, it’s only 15 so I’ve been using an SPF50 as well - I would recommend that for the best protection!

Great Product - Amazed!

This is a great morning moisturiser - especially good under makeup! The SPF & vitamin C also cuts down on two extra steps that I would usually do as well. I have sensitive skin & I was so surprised this moisturiser was nice & gentle on my skin causing no flare ups. Very impressed - especially for the price!

The moisturiser is lighter than I am used to so for the evenings, I make sure to use an intensive night moisturiser. But this works really well as it sits well under makeup and isn't too heavy

I would have to continue using this product to see if it will make a difference to my dark patches and acne scars on my face as I believe this is a more gradual process with brightening these up.

Best serum

This is the best serum I have ever used. I love that this is not just a serum, it is a serum cream. It is so thick and creamy and feels so nice and soft on my skin. It makes my skin so soft and absorbs so nicely, it doesn’t leave a sticky residue like other normal serums do. I love that this also has a small spf in it. I have only been using it for a week but my skin does look brighter. It has a great unisex smell and this is a product I will continue to use and add to my beauty routine

Divine smelling Vitamin C Serum Cream

I was pleasantly surprised by this product - the smell and texture is divine! More of a cream texture than a serum texture. This feels like a great lightweight day cream that has benefits of Vitamin C as well as SPF - however, it only has SPF15 so you need to apply a stronger SPF over the serum cream. This brand has surprised me with this product and I think it is great value for money too!

It doesn’t make my skin feel greasy, but in turn it feels potent enough to nourish my skin. I didn’t notice an immediate improvement in my blemishes - but I have only been using this for the past two weeks. This is definitely a product to consider if you are wanting to expand your daily skincare routine to include a Vitamin C serum on a budget!

Tips: Remember your neck area + use additional (SPF50) sunscreen over this product.

Garnier skin active Vit C serum cream

First thing I noticed was the beautiful smell and consistency, which is perfect. No oily residue, but a glowing smooth finish. Very refreshing to use in the morning to start your day and excellent knowing it has SPF. I haven't used it long enough to see much of a change but so far I'm really loving it!

Tips: You don't need alot. Smooth upwards and outwards. Don't forget forehead and nose. Pat in. Great for under make up!

Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Serum Cream

I was really excited to trial this as I’m usually not the best with keeping up with my skincare so loved the idea of a vitamin c serum SPF and cream in one as it eliminated a few extra steps for me! I love the added SPF as this is something I look for in skincare. I have a combination skin type with an oily t-zone and normal everywhere else. I am starting to notice some dullness as well. The first thing I noticed was the packaging. It is what I would say is the signature Garnier packaging. The bottle is sleek and has a pump to dispense the product. Scent of the product is mild for me and I don’t really notice anything. The cream itself is quite light and non greasy. I used this as part of my morning routine because of the added SPF. I’d need two full pumps and I would apply that all over my freshly cleaned face. The cream melts so easily onto my face with minimal effort. I decided to use this for a full week before I wrote the review as I wanted to see if there would be any changes in my skin. This product promises to brighten and improve dull and uneven skin. Over the course of the week I did notice changes, my skin feels softer and definitely looks brighter. I’m usually prone to a couple of breakouts and haven’t had any with this product at all. I am pleasantly surprised with this 3 in 1 product because of how good it actually is. It’s perfect for someone like me who is usually short on time in the mornings as well. Skin care sorted in no time. I would definitely strongly consider repurchasing when this runs out.

Tips: Wears really well under make up but wait a few seconds for it to dry and soak into your skin before applying foundation on top.

So goood

I surprisingly LOVE it, having SPF in the serum I expected it to be thick but it's nice and thin and lathers so nice on your skin and bonus cause i love the scent that all Garnier products have and this is no different. My skin doesn't get oily which is a mega bonus for me.

Tips: 3-4 pumps should do it to cover your entire face.
