    Received this as a PRC product and it is great! It glides on my skin well without leaving an oily feel. It smoothed out my stubborn dry skin patches around my cheeks that I normally get in the winter and I LOVE the scent! Will definitely buy this product again!

    I have spent the last week and a half trying out Garnier's brightening and smoothing moisturizer courtesy of Chick Advisor. First off, I like he size of the container and the pump works well. The pump can be twisted to the side to close for traveling. I must admit, the first time I used the product I pumped out too much moisturizer. This product has excellent coverage and only a small amount is needed. I really love the scent as well. It makes me feel happy to smell it. The smell is not overpowering but noticeable at first. My skin feels healthy and young after applying the product. My skin has a visible healthy sheen and I know tibia protected from the elements outside with the SPF. I tried applying foundation over top and had no issues. The foundation had excellent coverage due to my skin's moisture level. I highly recommend this product to others.

    I have now been using this product for a about 6 weeks. My skin still feels great and I have not tired of the smell. I apply the moisturizer morning and night. I still stand by my recommendation to others! Love this product.

    I was sent this by Chick Advisor to try out. I have used it consistently everyday since receiving it. I was surprised to read the claims are what I noticed it did for my skin! My skin has had issues after having my baby. It really did help to even out my skin tone. It also felt smoother and help even out my skin texture AND reduce the look of wrinkles. I was seriously shocked since I almost NEVER get results a product claims. I did notice a pimple here and there, but not sure if it's from this or if it's from the Garnier Micellar Water I was also sent to try out. I wasn't crazy about the scent (or anything with SPF) but it doesn't smell as bad as other facial creams with SPF out there. I am a VERY busy mama, so on a whim one day I decided to just use a powder foundation to save on time. I have never used just powder on it's own and was so pleased to see how well it applied on over this moisturizer and have been doing it ever since. I am very pleasantly pleased with this product. I will be definitely looking out for this to purchase in the future.

    I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. This product is very light, non greasy and fast absorbing. I have been using it for about a week now and I have noticed that my skin is smoother and more radiant. I will continue to use this product for weeks to come and I cannot wait to see the result after a more extended use.

    I was very happy to get to test this product. The moisturizer goes on very smooth. It absorbs well and is not greasy. It leaves no residue feel on your skin and your skin feels soft and refreshed. It has a nice clean scent The pump is great because it dispenses the right amount and is not messy like some jar moisturizers. The moisturizer also goes a long way, you do not need very much. I like that it has SPF 15 , great for added skin protection. I have been using the product for a week and a half and I do feel that my skin looks more refreshed. Some of my dark spots have faded slightly and my skin looks brighter. I hope with prolonged use I will see more results. My wrinkles havent diminished any yet but immediately after applying it I do feel like my skin is tightened. I think the product works very well and I would recommend it.

    ok so its now April and I used the moisturizer every day since my first review. I still like the product very much for all the reasons I mentioned in my first review. However I never did see any change in fine lines or wrinkles and the little fading of my dark spots from the beginning remained the same with no more improvement. It is however a good moisturizer for a decent price.

    I have been using this daily moisturizer for the past couple of weeks and have noticed a difference in the smoothness and brightness of my skin. My skin appears to be more even in tone and although it could be dull before, it's now brighter and has more "life". I like that the moisturizer is light and not heavy. It doesn't seem to clog my pores and a little bit goes a long way. My makeup still applies great after the moisturizer and doesn't absorb into the cream or make a mess. I'll definitely continue to use this daily moisturizer after cleansing every day an before going outside.

    I was thrilled to receive this product for review! I have combination skin which gets really dry in the winter time. This works perfect for a day moisturizer for my skin- it leaves my skins moisturized without feeling greasy. The product absorbs well into the skin, almost immediately when you apply it. I didn't notice the "brightening" effect, but it definitely does a good job in making my skin feeling soft throughout the day.

    I got to try Garnier Skin Active Clearly Brighter brightening and smoothing daily moisturizer as part of the Product Review Club. I liked the fresh scent of this moisturizer. It didn't feel greasy at all. I like that the moisturizer has spf but I would prefer a higher spf in my daily moisturizer. I find the price point high for this product. I would recommend this product if it had a higher spf and a lower price point.

    I received this as part of ChickAdvisor product review club.

    I've got to say that this moisturizer has a great consistency. One thing I would say is that the SPF is too low, 15 barely does anything, and I still would need to apply a sunscreen in conjunction with this to protect my skin.

    I have yet to see a more even skin tone, and I hope I will see something with continued use. Although, my skin tone did seem to be a little brighter after about a week of use. This moisturizer absorbs quite well, and made my skin feel elastic to the touch after it had soaked in. Again, my problem is the SPF, if I do use this in the summer, I don't think that SPF 15 will be enough for me, but as it's winter, I find myself indoors most of the time, and so this hasn't been much of an issue. My regular moisturizer is a gel one with SPF 50, and so if I were to compare this to it, I don't really think that I would make the switch over. However, I think that this moisturizer is quite good for the winter, as it keeps my skin well hydrated through the winter months.

    I find this to be a decent moisturizer, so I would recommend it to others, depending on their skin type. And I think I would only re-purchase this for winter use due to the SPF.

    I really like the moisturizer it goes on very well and feels great. I would purchase this product again and would recommend it to others. I really think it brightened up under my eyes and minimized the dark circles. I started using it as soon as I received it and I really think it smoothed some of the fine lines.
