This is more of a gel then a cream (it has both on the package), goes on cool and very light feeling but moisturized very well. Love the way it feels going on under the eyes. Really does make me feel more awake.

I think that this cream is really refreshing. It's like a splash of fresh water in your face when you wake up. Really effective for moisturizing. A bit expensive bit totally worth it.

Having never heard of this product before I was delightfully surprised! This gel goes on feeling so cool and smooth and really makes my skin look more "upbeat" the next day! I've been using it for almost 2 weeks now and can see a definite improvement.

This is a great moisturizer that can be used by all skin types, even those like me with really dry and sensitive skin. Because this moisturizer is in gel-form, it feels really cooling and hydrating on the skin. A few seconds after putting it on the product starts to dry pretty quickly, leaving your skin hydrated without it being oily. It is pricey for the amount of product you get ($24.99 for 50ml) but a little does go a long way. For anyone who is sensitive to certain scents, this product does have a strong floral scent (but it's a pleasant smell and it recedes throughout the day). Overall, this is a great product that does wake you up and leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.

I received this as a Sample through Chick Advisor. The product left my face feeling moisturized and it works miracles. But it did take a bit longer then some other products to dry.

I love the way this product makes my skin look so vibrant ! It makes my skin so soft and smooth. Hydrated my face all day . Just a great product lines on my face minimized. I will be buying this product again . Enjoy !!

I received this product to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Panel.

This gel moisturizer does exactly what it says it'll do. I love applying it to my cleansed skin first thing in the morning. The gel gives a refreshing feeling, and it does seem to "wake" my skin up. I have used other brands of gel moisturizers in the past and was not impressed with their lack of moisturizing. If anything, I found my skin to be even drier. Not so with Garnier's product! My skin stayed hydrated throughout the day, and looks brighter this week since I have started using it everyday.

The only thing that I am a little bit disappointed by is the price point. I don't expect a drugstore moisturizer to go for almost $25 a bottle. I think under $20 would have been a lot more reasonable. It is definitely a great moisturizer though, and I plan to keep an eye out for it to go on sale so that I can get another bottle once this one is finished.

I really love the lightweight texture
does not feel oily and does not feel heavy going on
It doesnt pack as much moisture as I would love but overall i like it

I liked the feeling of this gel during my morning routine, when you don't want a heavy cream. It left my skin smooth and moisturized, without that heavy feeling. I am not sure about the Anti-Fatigue part, I think a lot of gel feel cold and "reviving" when you put them on, but that only lasts for a few minutes. My skin did look nice throughout the day. but mostly because it was moisturized. I would recommend this to other, along with other Garnier products.


Disclosure - I received this from ChickAdvisor to test, but the opinions are my own.

Thanks Garnier and ChickAdvisor for sending me the hydra-gel moisturizer.

The first thing I noticed was how light and cool the gold felt on my fingers before I applied. It went on really smooth and even. The smell was fantastic. It did take a long time to absorb so I have to wait a while before I can apply makeup.
I did love how it took all the dryness from my skin without leaving it feeling heavy and greasy. I found that it worked best for me was to use it at night instead of the morning since I need something better as a under the makeup moisturizer. I also need something with an spf to protect my skin during the day.
All in all I found this to be an excellent night cream.
