Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Jelly Daily Moisturising Cream

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.

I have sensitive mature uneven skin. I have used the Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Jelly Daily Moisturising Cream for a few weeks.

This cream has the consistency of jelly. The 50ml jar is the regular size and is easy to open. The jelly leaves a fresh feeling when applying on the skin. However, it leaves my skin slightly "sticky" and some pimples developed on my chin. My skin didn't stay hydrated for 48 hours either. This is not a product that suits my skin.

Garnier is working nicely towards sustainability. The packaging as well as the jar can be recycled.

Its price below $30 is reasonable.

The packaging for this was basic and easy to use. It had a pleasant scent, unfortunately that is where the pleasantries end.

The moisturizer was a gel which I found left my skin feeling dry, patchy and craving moisture. This was not for me unfortunately

I trialed the garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Jelly Daily Moisturising Cream for a few weeks. I would put it on after using the Garnier cleanser. It is a jelly sustance, that spreads easily on your skin. I didnt really like the way it felt on my skin, my skin felt dry and didnt look refreshed. The jar goes quite far as you dont need much, its quite a nice size. My skin felt and looked worse at the end of the trial.

I received this product to trial along with a Garnier face wash. I mention this because when you're trying more than one thing at the same time, it can be hard to tell which product is causing any issues.

For starters, this moisturiser comes in a super cute, easy to use, glass jar with a pale green screw-on lid. This makes the most of the absolutely clear gel inside.

When I apply it, it feels lovely on my skin - similar to applying aloe vera gel. Unfortunately, it seems to be so light that I apply more than I would of another moisturiser.

Ultimately while trying these products my skin has been fairly horrible. I think the cleanser hasn't been cleansing my dry winter skin enough, then I'm whacking too much moisturiser on it, because this stuff just seems to dry out on my face so quickly.

Ultimately, I think this gel might be great for a summer midday pick me up, but it's not nourishing enough for my combination skin. It's not a product I'd pick up again.

The jelly texture took a bit to get used to, it went on smoothly and did melt into my skin and at first i was probably putting too much on my face, it has nice fragrance not too overpowering, i did notice a difference and my skin appeared to be less dull. i do prefer to use moisturizers that have sunscreen in them.

There were plenty of things I did like about this Vit C Moisturiser - the smell was quite light and refreshing, it absorbs quickly into the skin, and I do like the luxurious glass packaging it comes in.

The texture is the main part I had an issue with. It wasn't necessarily bad, just not really what I want from a daily moisturiser. I love creamy velvety textures, and this is quite a firm jelly. It reminded me a lot of aloe vera gel you'd coat yourself in after getting sunburnt, which just isn't that nice an experience to apply. I also don't think this did anything in regards to brightening or reducing dullness in my skin.

That being said, it is an affordable option, and if you can get on board with jelly texture it would be a great addition to anyone's routine - just not for me!

I was very excited to try this moisturiser as I have heard exciting things about vitamin c in skin care. This moisturiser comes in a jar and is a clear gel with a delicate fruity scent. It's a little difficult to get the right amount as it's very jelly like and if you tap it, you don't get quite enough and if you scoop it, too much. It's lovely and cool, which will be so nice and refreshing in the summertime and spreads very easily onto my skin. It soaks into my skin very quickly leaving it feeling soft and silky. I have been using this for 3 weeks and haven't seen any change to my skin tone unfortunately, but it does say after 4 weeks skin will appear brighter and less dull, so will continue to use with fingers crossed!
