I was fortunate to receive this product through Chickadvisor to test out and I have seen some improvement in my skin. I sometimes get breakouts and have the occasional scarring. I have used it for 3 weeks now and my spots seem to be getting lighter which make me happy. I will continue to use it to see how my skin looks and feels after a month, so far so good!

Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening and Smoothing Moisturizer was provided from Chick Advisor for review. I have been using this product in place of my current daytime moisturizer for the past two weeks.

The first thing I notice immediately was the low SPF rating. Daytime moisturizes should at least have an SPF of 20. The next thing I notice was the strong perfume sent that lingered on my face for most of the day.The scent made it a challenge to enjoy some of the benefits of this product, such as how light weight and non-greasy the texture was on my skin.

Unfortunately, there was no brightening effect on the skin as stated. It does leave the skin feeling moisturized, but there is nothing special about this moisturizer for me to continue to use it.

I was selected to try this product for free. I am really enjoying this product! The product is light and creamy but not oily like I find with most facial moisturizers. It goes on smooth and dries in quickly making it very nice to wear both with and without makeup. After a minute of having it on my skin felt refreshed and moisturized but didn't look greasy. And, when I wear it under makeup it doesn't leave a layer on my skin so my make up goes on smooth and even. I have noticed after using the product for approx. 10 days now that my skin texture is much smoother and more even. And, even though it's winter and my skin is usually drier I have found that my face stays moisturized throughout the day. The scent is nice and reminds me of spring.
I would highly recommend this product!

Coincidentally, my daily moisturizer had run out around the same time that ChickAdvisor had the opportunity to try Garnier at no cost to me so I jumped on applying. My needs for a good face moisturizer are simple, good sunscreen, no/limited scent, not greasy and leaves my skin looking better than before I put it on. With 40+ yo skin I am mindful of using products that have Vitamins, gentle exfoliation and on and on. But it's not my priority in a moisturizer for my face. I use other products too.

When I started using this product it ticked all of my requirement boxes: Sunscreen (15 - although I prefer a 25), no real scent, emollient but not greasy and my skin appeared to be a-ok. While I didn't experience the level of claims on the advertising, it's a solid moisturizer.

I received this face lotion from the awesome people at ChickAdvisor, I am a fan of how it makes my skin luminous, but when it gets even remotely near the eye my eyes are watering for hours, I find the scent to be too strong. But I love that it has SPF 15 in it that's really important to me,for my skincare routine.
If they made an unscented version I would buy it.

Overall, I liked the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer. I thought that the moisturizer itself felt soft,lightweight and not greasy (even with the SPF). I like how the cream absorbs fast. I also like how the SPF is already in the moisturizer, so I don't have to worry about the sun. The Garnier cream did actually make my skin softer. I don't know if I would say my skin is '"brighter" but skin tone is more even. The only downside was the strong smell.

This moisturizer has some claims on the box, so let's go through them! First, they claim that your skin will be brighter and smoother in one week. I have combination skin so I have some dry scaly patches. I found that if I applied a light layer, I needed to go back to reapply some dry spots. But after figuring out the right amount to use, my skin was indeed smoother and brighter all around! Second, they claim that it works well under makeup. While it is not the worst I've had, it does not let the makeup set very well. It's probably because of the ingredient used to give the spf 15. I tend to find that moisturizers with spf also smell very strong, This product is no exception. I only note this because a couple friends are sensitive to smell; the smell is somewhat pleasant.

I received this product from ChickAdvisor to review. I found it to be okay on my combination skin. It has an SPF of 15 and I prefer my moisturizer to have an SPF of 30 to really protect from the sun. I used it under my makeup and my t-zone was shiny by the afternoon. I can't say that my skin looks any brighter since I have been using it but it has been only a couple of weeks. I liked the nice, light, fresh scent and that it contained no parabens. I think it would be a great product to use in the winter when you want a good moisturizer and don't need a high SPF. It is also a great deal at around $20.00.

I received this product as part of the Review Club. I liked that the moisturizer went on smoothly and absorbed quickly into my skin. At the end of the day my skin still felt moisturized and not oily (as I tend to get at the end of the day). I can't say that I saw any difference in a brightening of my skin. I have some sun spots and freckles and they appeared the same as before the product. I usually wear a moisturizer with a much higher SPF, so I am disappointed that this has the minimum 15 SPF.

Overall, it was a good moisturizer but I didn't see any noticeable change in my skin's appearance.

It feels great on my skin, and it really did look brighter. It had no heavy feeling and the nice light scent wasn't overpowering at all. I will continue to use it!
