I was so excited about this one! I have always been a gel moisturiser fan and what's better than gel? Jelly? No, not this time. The idea of having a clear jelly moisturiser is really cool, until you realise you can't see how much product you've got... I found I couldn't consistently use the same amount each time (I dip my index finger in). I either picked up too little or WAY too much. A pump type packaging would've been ideal for this moisturiser to be able to get the right amount. The consistency on my face while trying to apply it felt like PVA glue until it had 'melted' in. It could easily have been mistaken from my peel off mask based on that alone. Even then it left my skin feeling quite tacky to the touch for some time afterwards, which is great if you're following up with applying foundation in the morning, but not great when you're heading to bed and it feels like your face is sticking to your pillow... The claim that it hydrates for 48hrs unfortunately wasn't the case for me. Using twice a day after cleansing my face I found after 5 days my skin felt drier than normal. Fast forward another few days and my skin was noticeably drier. The skin on my forehead was visibly flakey! My skin would be considered their ideal candidate being normal to combination/oily but it did nothing positive for me. I've used other branded Vitamin C moisturisers in the past and there has always been a noticeable difference in my skin tone. With the Garnier Vitamin C Jelly, there was no difference. This is one moisturiser that won't be appearing on my shopping list in future.

It was very lightweight and easy to put on. It absorbed quickly. But it left a sticky residue that I didn't like. It stayed tacky for about an hour. I didn't notice any change in my skin over the period of time that I used it. The smell was fruity and was a bit overpowering. I am sensitive to smell, and my nose would get very itchy once applied.
