I really love this cream-- the scent is light and pleasing, the consistency is great (not too heavy). It absorbs relatively quickly into the skin, and creates a nice even base for makeup. And the best part of it all? It didn't make my skin oily.
I am huge on smell and this smells REALLY good. Another cheap moisturizer that didn't work (for me) though. It too drying and I found that it kind of felt like plastic on my face. I recommend this for oily skin peeps and for people that don't mind a little shine.
I love the scent of this product, but it left my combination skin very dry. I don't recommend this product if your skin is on the dry side.
I like this facial moisturizer a lot. Because my skin breaks out often and I prefer a lotion w/ alpha hydroxy acid, this product will likely function as a good alternative to my tried and true. This product's scent is wonderful. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. However, I felt like the consistency is a bit thin/watery.
Add some SPF and alpha hydroxy acid and I'd be a true convert!
I took my time to review this product, because when I started using it I broke out really badly. Still, I knew that I should give my skin some time to adjust, which it eventually did (2 or 3 weeks) and now I am more impressed by it than at first.
I love the fresh cucumber scent and the way it absorbs into my skin really quickly. I have so little time in the mornings and I hate waiting for my lotion to soak in far enough that I can start with my makeup - this product doesn't have this problem.
What I am not so crazy about is the long adjustment period and the fact that overall it seems to be only as good as what I was using before (Aveeno) and not better. However, I do like it and will certainly continue using it to see how my skin does over a longer period of time.
With new skincare one it usually takes a good month until your skin adapts to it. During that month your skin can go through tight or dry patches and some times even break out. But if you get a reaction like a rash then you should stop using it immediately. In my case I have combination skin and the first time I tried it I like how moisturizing and light the texture was. The smell of cucumbers was refreshing as well. But almost immediately, my skin went tight and I noticed little dry patches everywhere and it left a waxy residue on my skin. Well, obviously I probably wasn't the right skin type for this lotion but I decided to try it for a month to give it a fair chance in case my skin needed to adapt to it. Day 2 wasn't better. Day 3 I couldn't take it anymore and applied my Cetaphil moisturizer over top of it. My skin was back to normal and felt soft and supple like it usually does after using Cetaphil. I love this moisturizer because clears up any allergies or dry spots right away. I've tried so many moisturizers and this is the one I always keep going back to. This moisturizer is even light enough for oily skin. I know it's gotten a good rating from others but I think I'll stick to my Cetaphil!
I gave Garnier Skin Naturals Fresh Day Cream a try after receiving it in my Swag Bag at the Shop Crawl Part 2 and I have to say that I am impressed with this product. I am normally very skeptical with trying new moisturizers on my face without a referral from a friend with a similar skin type but I decided to give this product a try and it has been great. This product has a light citrus scent and it leaves my skin feeling touchably soft. When I run out of this product I plan to purchase it again. Give it a try!
I've been using this day cream everyday since the Shop Crawl. I like that this cream is very light. I tried this even though it is not intended for my skin type. I am pleased to say that it is light enough for my oily skin. This definitely feels "fresh" when you put it on your face. This doesn't cause any extra shine throughout the day, and keeps your skin soft and touchable. This is absolutely my favourite product in the swag bag from the Shop Crawl.
I have used this stuff on and off for years and really like it. It is actually the only drug store brand I ever use on my face because it really works for me. I have combination skin and find this effective in keeping my skin moisturized without being too shiny.
