For me, the idea of this product is great: combining a serum with a day cream and adding SPF 15. The formula felt non greasy amd went on well, however I needed to use more than expected to cover my face. I have sensitive skin and didn't enjoy the 'feeling' of this product as it went on. The smell is typical of Garnier products, a strong but fresh fragrance. I don't feel a weeks use is long enough to judge the effectiveness of the key ingredients on sun spots. Overall, I would not buy this again as it doesn't suit my skin.

Great moisturiser for skin wanting to glow
While I did enjoy this moisturiser, I found it wasn’t quite enough for my dry skin with it being winter and try to keep hydrated while being around a lot of heating. This moisturiser for a dry skin type would be perfect for summer. In saying that the texture and feeling while applying to the skin is silky smooth and feels great, and having an all in one product is ideal for convenience first thing in the morning. This product would be ideal for a normal skin type that is concerned with skin pigmentation or wanting to prevent it with the vitamin c as well as spf. It’s also a really great base for foundation and found that my foundation was lasting really with throughout the day with this underneath it.

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.

I’ve enjoyed Garnier products in the past, and I don’t currently use a Vitamin C product so was excited to try this.
I need 2-3 pumps for my entire face. The first thing I noticed was that it felt like a makeup primer. This isn’t at all a bad thing, and I liked the balance of a smooth dimethicone texture without pilling upon application. I next noticed the fresh citrus smell, which isn’t overwhelming but something to note if you are averse to fragrance in skincare.
My issue is I don’t know what this product is meant to be… it basically has an identity crisis. It’s not really a serum so I don’t feel it gives a concentration of active ingredients. It’s not a cream so it doesn’t give moisture. The SPF is so low that you definitely can’t use it as your main sun protection. Maybe it is nice as a non-sticky hand cream? Or a stand alone makeup primer?
I definitely won’t repurchase or recommend.
