The moisturizer is not as brightening and I thought it would be. However, it was moisturizing, more for a summer use rather than the winter. I liked the pump action.

The moisturizer didn't brighten my skin as much as I thought it would. But it was very moisturizing though and I liked the pump! Not a product I would buy.

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.

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!

I got to test and review this product for free thanks to ChickAdvisor.

First of all, I love the packaging. I love that it comes in a pump and that you can lock it when you aren't using it. The bottle is plastic so it is super light. This would make a great moisturizer to use for travelling.

The moisturizer itself smells really nice. It has a citrus and fresh scent which I really enjoy. I like that it has SPF 15, but I do wish that it had at least SPF 30. The moisturizer kept my face hydrated but I did feel that I had to apply another layer shortly after. All in all, I think it's a great daily moisturizer to use in the summer, but definitely not for the cold harsh winter months. For approximately $20, it is reasonably priced.

Disclaimer: I received a full size bottle of Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brigtening and Smothing Moisturizer from Chickadvisor to review.

As of yet (Feb. 20) I haven't had a chance to use this moisturizer. I know review were due on the 21st, but I only just picked up my package today and it was only available for pick up on the 12th because of the delivery issues and Chickadvisor having the product in stock to ship. I plan to give this product a full testing and hopefully my skin will be as improved as they promise in a week.

I received this product to test and review through the ChickAdvisor review club.

I have only been using this moisturizer for about 5 days, and although it is a reallly nice texture, and it does make my skin feel smooth, I have not noticed any of the brightening effect yet. It is a bit pricier than my usual moisturizer so not sure if I would keep using it after the trial bottle is gone or not... if I change my mind down the line, I will come back and update my review.

This product served as a decent daily moisturizer but wasn't anything spectacular. As mentioned by others, the low SPF value is counter productive to a brightening and smoothing cream. As well, the price is much higher than what I would expect for the size.
After 1 week I did not notice any brightening.

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. Ive used this product twice daily since i received it more than a week ago. I enjoy that it has an spf...as far as im concerned, all facial moisturizers should have some degree of spf. It has a nice, lite scent and it is not too heavy or oily. Unfortunately, my skin was not to happy with this product as it left my face with some pimples! I was quite shocked acually because my skin is not normally sensitive to products. I contined using this product in hopes that it was just something else that caused my pimples. I think i can safely say that it was this moisurizer. I really wanted to like this product but unfortunately I cant give it a 5 star because of the pimples. Besides that, it a nice product but not meant for me. Im going to continue using it...simply because i lime how it feels on my skin but i am only going to use it in the morning and go back to my regular moisturizer at night. The price is comparable to other like products. I am always willing to pay a price for a great product. Thanks for the opportunity to try and review this product!

I would say this cream is mediocre in terms of benefits compared to other drug store moisturizers. I have been using it for a couple weeks and I do like it but don't see any significant differences in "brightness" or the "smoothness". I feel like this is one of those products you have to use for at least 6 weeks before seeing any significant changes. The one thing I do like is the way my skin feels in the morning post using it at night before bed time!
