Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Serum

I am really enjoying this trial team, thanks Beauty Review!

The serum is a silky oil that's easy to rub in to your skin - it sits beautifully under moisturiser and makeup, with no pilling or balling.

It has a sort of scent, but I can't place it. It's not overpowering so don't be put off if scented skincare isn't your thing.

I like the functional glass dropper bottle and the box is full of information. It's very practical packaging but also pleasing.

I think my skin feels and looks better. It's softer, more supple and definitely brighter. I was worried this would make me look shiny but it doesn't at all.

Highly recommend, especially to those wanted an introductory serum.

My skin has experienced the worse breakouts of my life in the last 4 months. Deep cysts, whiteheads and blackheads. Itchy and inflamed - BRIGHT red lesions. I wanted this product to help keep blackheads clear and prevent scarring and post-acne dark spots.

Packaging: nothing revolutionary. The dropper provides the exact amount to cover my face though.

Scent: I generally avoid fragrance in skincare, but this didn’t seem to irritate me. It is a light and fresh scent which I quite enjoyed.

Texture: absorbs quickly and spreads easily. Exactly what I want in a serum. A thin texture, but not so thin that it is difficult to transfer from your fingers to face.

Results: definitely noticed that it helped prevent and clear blackheads. This was the most noticeable effect. I think it has helped prevent hyperpigmentation as my acne lesions come and go, but I’ll only be able to see the full effect after weeks of use.

Overall, I think I will purchase this to replace my current salicylic acid toner. Niacinimide is always a good ingredient, and if the vitamin c shows long term results that will be an added bonus!

This is the first product ive felt like ive had the chance to give a decent try after being selected to trial products through beauty review and i actually feel like i see a difference. My skin is acne prone and im left with scarring. I also tend to get some texture, with what i call white head bumps. I had quite a few bumps when i started using this, but i have found majority of the bumps have gone and my skin has been the clearest ive seen it in a long time. Also i have noticed some scarring fading. Im excited to see what improvements come with more time. This has a nice scent, not too overbearing and doesnt leave any greasy residue on the skin as it states. The serum dries well and soaks into the skin nicely

I’d been wanting to try a vitamin c serum so when my friend gifted me this I couldn’t wait to try it. And so far it hasn’t disappointed! After a week of using it my skin feels nice and I’m certain that it’s lessened the appearance of some dark spots. I apply it on the morning, under my moisturiser. The amount released by the dropper is perfect, it goes on easily and has a nice light fragrance.

Holy moly! My new holy grail. This product is so affordable too. From the get go I loved how this felt on my skin, not greasy, nice and light and i woke up the next morning with visibly brighter clearer skin. Ive got a few problem dark spots on my face and acne scars and I'm definitely noticing a reduction in these! I would recommend using this under makeup too as it is quite smoothing. I would say this is suitable for all skin types! I like this better than $80 serums I have tried

I am blown away with how fast this Garnier Vitamin C Serum has worked! I’m a new mama and often wake throughout the night - I would do anything to bring back the life in my skin, especially face. My skin really has brightened and doesn’t look so “dull/tired”!! I have been this after my shower and before my daily makeup. I also love that a little bit goes a long way - 1 squirt is enough for my whole face. I would recommend this product to my friends for sure!

I went into this without having previously tried any of Garniers’ skin care, I more so associated them with hair care. I must say from the first try I was hooked! It smells amazing. Has a dropper applicator to make life easy. Has the expected consistency of a serum but didn’t run all down my face like other serums have. I’ve now used it every day, morning and night, I find I wake up in the morning and my skin feels very fresh and bright. I’ll be using this in my regular routine from now on!

I think I've been thinking of Garnier as the Garnier from 15 years ago - a young-skewing brand with ok-ish products.

I think everyone needs to get reacquainted with the brand - it's really, really good.

I love that Garnier are certified cruelty-free and seems to be making an effort to be more green, for example this comes in a recyclable glass bottle.

The Vitamin C Brightening Serum has Vitamin C, Niacinamide & Salicylic Acid in it, all ingredients I love, and yet I haven't used a product combining them all.

It's a very light, non-greasy serum that soaks into the skin. Looking at the product claims: - Immediately skin looks healthier and more radiant - I agree with this! It leaves skin dewy and soft. - From 3 days, skin appears more even, brighter and smoother - yeap I agree, - From 6 days, the density of dark spots appear reduced - hmm I think I noticed improvement to my dark spots around 10 days.

This is a reasonably priced, easy to buy, great serum!
