    The moistuizer is light, non oliy, with SPF 15 so I don't need to apply sunblock lotion after the moisturizer and do not block the pores. it is mild so it won't irritrate to my skin

    I received this product as a member of the Product Review Club.

    I have only been using this moisturizer for about two weeks, so I really say that my skin is brighter from using it. It definitely moisturizes well and absorbs into my skin. I love the scent; it is pleasant and not overpowering or long lasting.

    Garnier SkinActive Moisturizer is as good or better than some of the more expensive moisturizers I have tired!

    I would purchase this again! The only complaint I might have is the SPF is a bit low. I would have loved to see it at 30 SPF.

    Thank you PRC!

    I received this product from the Product Review Club for review purposes.

    I quite often look for brightening properties in skincare, as my skin can be dull and lifeless. While I don't think I've been using this moisturizer long enough to see full results, I quite like it so far. The moisturizer has a light feel, but provides a nice does of hydration on my usually dehydrated skin and leaves it feeling incredibly smooth. The fact that is smooths skin so nicely makes this a great day cream and works well as primer under makeup. I would have loved a higher SPF, but otherwise, I definitely recommend this.

    I got selected to try this great product called Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer SPF 15. I liked the pump that it came in as it was easy to use with hardly anything being wasted. It was light and there wasn't a strong scent. It is important to use SPF all year and not just in the summer. Winters can be harsh so this was perfect. I applied it to my face first which acts as a great moisturizer and isn't greasy, then I applied my makeup. The retail price is appox. $20.99 but again, with a good sale it is a great product. I will definitely recommend this to my friends and will purchase it for myself in the future.

    I really loved the smell of this moisturizer and I noticed a nice shine type glow, brighter skin and a more even skin tone. The only thing I would probably be cautious about if you have sensitive skin is I did have a minor breakout when I first started using this product. While I would recommend this product because it wasn't greasy and did make my skin feel nice and fresh, I have seen similar moisturizers which do cost less than the price of this one.

    I'm updating my review because I was pleasantly surprised long after my first review. I kept using this product religiously and my skin just felt so much cleaner and brighter with a more even skin tone. My skin feels very soft with the use of this product and smells so fresh and clean. The only thing I wouldn't change about my original review was the price of this product. I do still find that it's a tad on the expensive side.

    Overall this moisturizer, provided at no cost by ChickAdvisor for sampling, held it's own against competitive brands. I'm not entirely certain what a 'brightening' product is supposed to do, but with in a few days of use my skin felt firmer and contained a sunscreen, which is a must for daytime moisturizer for me. i didn't notice any difference in the surface of my skin or any fading of freckles/age spots, but i don't think anything i can buy on the shelf will actually do that. there wasn't really a scent, a plus in my books. my two criticisms were that the formula is a bit light for my normal skin that tends toward dryness in the winter, and i'd like to have a stronger SPF in the formula. as i'm looking for a new spf facial lotion for daytime this is a contender.

    I've continued using this intermittently since I received it. It's a decent moisturizer but in the end the SPF will not be enough for spring/summer wear for me. I'm pretty pale and burn quite easily so need at least an SPF 25 for day cream and I don't like to wear heavy duty sunscreen on my face unless I'm going to be outdoors all day.

    This product is a light moisturizer that goes on easily and you can barely feel it once it's on. Not too runny, not too thick. Goes on easily, face feels and looks clean. I did not like the fragrance however. It smelled plastic-y. Thankfully the scent fades quickly. However, my previous moisturizer had a slight citrus scent which I prefer much more. I'm not sure that I noticed brighter skin, but it did work comparable to other moisturizers that I have tried and I liked the added benefit of having sunscreen.

    I was one of the lucky ladies to receive the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer for free as part of the Product Review Club.

    Using a moisturizer is one of the most important steps in my daily routine. It is very important to me to have a moisturizer that isn’t super heavy. I usually always wear makeup so I don’t want my face to feel too weighed down with more and more product.

    The Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer is definitely a lighter moisturizer, after application i don’t feel like I have anything else on my face. I have been able to use it for a couple days now and I have started noticing my skin is less flakey, it is starting to look a lot more brighter and it had left my skin feeling noticably more silkier and smoother. The moisturizer absorbs into my skin quickly and it doesn’t give my skin that oily feeling, even after wearing it for a full day!

    The Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer is a thick white cream that has a light citrus fragrance that I feel isn’t too overpowering. It has a lighter SPF than I am used to, but during the winter months I think its perfect. The cream is very easy to apply and it starts working upon contact.

    I do feel that I will purchase this product again in the future, I am not sure how I will feel about the SPF in the summer months, but I will definitely give it a try.

    I got this from Chickadvisor as a trial. I normally use an SPF 30 face cream for daily use. SPF 15 is better than nothing, but I'd prefer something a touch higher.

    I like that this face cream isn't greasy. It smells nice and goes on easily.

    This brightening and smoothing moisturizer with SPF 15 was alright. I liked that it was light on my skin but I found it too fragrant. I did not notice a big difference after using it for a week, but I did find it as a good base under makeup. SPF 15 personally is not enough for me, I would rather go for something with at SPF 30. I'm not sure I would buy this product or recommend it to friends, but I'm willing to continue trying it for a few more weeks to see if I notice a difference!
