Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Serum Cream

I loved this so much and it made my skin feel super throughout the day. I loved how it made my skin feel great.

This product was incredible. The smell was only slight. Although I prefer to have something with no smell.

My skin looks healthier, more refreshed and hydrated.

It hasn’t caused me more breakouts than normal as this is what I worry about due to breaking out easily.

The product did exactly what it said it would.

I love how it’s got sunscreen in it also. I will definitely get it again! I wished it came in a bigger bottle!!!!

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.

I always use a vitamin c serum because I’ve noticed they’ve really worked to lighten my sun spots. I was super keen to try this one because of the spf in it as well. You should always wear sunscreen when using vitamin c so this is a bonus!

I love the formulation of this product. Not sticky like a lot of vitamin c products and it feels super luxurious and hydrating - and no strong sunblock smell!

I will definitely be reaching for this one again. Great for mostly indoor days just by itself or with a stronger sunscreen on top for me for other days.

The first time I used it, I immediately noticed the somewhat strong scent (which I personally liked) and thought when working the cream into the skin, it was a little bit thick and required a wee bit more gentle massages..

Immediately after use, I didn’t notice any significant or noticeable brightness to my skin but felt that my skin Upton touch was quite soft! The best feeling personally after using a serum!

I also did love the many benefits in the one bottle especially the SPF! One (or two if you include the moisturising properties) less step in the morning or in general if you are a mum like me! Absolutely love!

I think I will need to use the product for longer than ten days to see if there is a significant improvement/difference in my skin brightness but overall love the multi steps in the one application!

This 2-in-1 serum cream is brilliant and I am impressed. I love the combination of serum and SPF15 moisturiser cream. It brightens my complexion, hydrates and feels lovely on my skin every day. My skin was dry and this was amazing. It makes my morning skincare routine so much easier as this is an all one product. The serum cream is light and fast absorbing with nice fresh scent. My skin feel smooth, hydrated and vibrant and I really enjoy using it. I would highly recommend to all busy mums.

I love the idea behind products that combine key elements of my skincare regime together - a Vitamin C Serum and SPF. Although some products may seem ineffective at doing it all, I really feel that this product lives up to the hype.

It has an easy pump dispenser to help regulate the product amount. Two pumps seems just about right to cover my face and neck.

I love the scent of this product, I can’t quite put my finger on it but it seems so fresh! The serum itself is a silky cream consistency. It feels thicker than other serums I have tried before, more like a moisturiser consistency. It applies well, settling in to the skin quickly. It has almost an iridescent glow when you first apply it to the skin. It almost sparkles! I have found that I know need less moisturiser as this serum helps pack a punch with hydration.

Overall, I am happy with the scent, hydration level, and the way that it makes me skin seem glowy and more even in appearance.

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.

I was a bit confused by this product prior to receiving as Garnier had come out with their “Green Labs Brightening Serum Cream” within the last couple of years so I wasn’t too sure if it was the same thing rebranded or a slight variation. The bottles are almost identical, a pale green opaque bottle with a white pump with the Skin Active Vitamin C Brightening Serum Cream (this product) being slightly smaller with 50ml rather than 72ml. I have to admit that my skin doesn’t really have dark spots or much pigmentation these days so I can’t speak to how well this evens it out but I do think it definitely made my skin glowy which is nice. It lives up to its claim of having the lasting moisture of a daily cream, it’s definitely moisturising enough that when layered with SPF (this is just part of my routine) I don’t need any additional moisturising product for the day and I appreciate that it absorbs nicely and doesn’t cause any pilling of anything I’ve layered over it. The only real thing I can fault this product on is the scent. It is just waaaaaay too strong for a facial cream! The scent itself is nice, if it was a body or hair product I would be into it but on my face I find it a bit much.
