    I have dry and sensitive skin and i am very impressed with how my skin feels like after using it for only 1 week. The texture of the moisturizer is light but rich enough to moisturize my very dry skin, feel so smooth and i found my brown spots on my cheek starts fading and my laugh lines seem less obvious.

    The lines on my forehead are less obvious as well. This moisturizer works better than the department store high end brand i have used but at a fraction of the price i paid.

    This moisturizer will be a staple in my daily routine from now on, i am in love with it.

    I've only been using this moisturizer for a week, and I can already see a difference! It is so nice to have a product that not only improves the quality of your skin by brightening, but also protects with SPF. It's a winner!

    Lovely scent! Skin feels amazing and is certainly not as dull with continued use. Not sure if it is helping my dark spots, but the first week has been promising. Wonderful that it has SPF in it...one less step in the morning. Fantastic product.

    I like that it was not greasy and it really did give my face that vibrant brighter look. One squirt was just enough for my face with the added bonus of spf 15. Only started using it a week ago so will review again in a few weeks.

    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.

    I received this product as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

    I have been using this moisturizer for about a week now,and like it very much. It absorbs quickly ,and you can apply makeup shortly after. it feels so nice on my face. It does not make my face greasy like many other moisturizers do. It has a nice light scent to it.
    I have found my face has become a lot smoother after using it for a short period of time,.and a bit brighter.I will continue to use it to get the full effect.

    I recommend it and would buy it again if it was a reasonable price.

    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.

    Updated On: March 21, 2016

    Update (March 21): So I've been using Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening and Smoothing Moisturizer every day now since the 21st of last month. I haven't noticed any changes in my skin. It's not brighter and it's not any smoother. Also, do not trust this sunscreen as your regular sunscreen to protect you from the sun. It doesn't have any UVA II coverage. So if you are going to use this as a moisturizer, make sure to have proper, broad spectrum coverage on underneath.

    The consistency is good, I like how quickly it can be applied and gets absorbed. I also like the packaging in terms of a pump being more sanitary. But I don't like how easy it is to lock. The slightest little twist will lock it. And I assume it could be just as easy to unlock if you have it in your suitcase.

    Overall, I would not recommend this product if you're looking for a good overall moisturizer/sunscreen. There's better out there. Check this chart if you want to make sure the spf is actually broad spectrum: 15minutebeauty.com/2008/03/sunscreen-active-ingredients.html

    I am reviewing this product as a member of the ChickAdvisor review club. As a 40+ woman going through menopause, I have learned to appreciate the importance of moisturizing every day. I have been using the same oil-free daily moisturizer for years, and was hesitant about trying another as my face tends to react easily to different products. HOWEVER, I was pleasantly surprised by this product. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quite nicely into the face without leaving a trace(or too much shine). I put my concealer under my eyes before the moisturizer has completely absorbed and it makes a nice, flawless blend. My face does not feel oily after use, or when I start to perspire(hot flashes), which is nice because menopause is tough enough without having a greasy feeling face and break-out spots. I didnt really notice if it made my skin brighter, but I have had people tell me I look more 'radiant' or more well-rested...so I can only assume that is what it is from as I havent been doing anything else new to my face. I make sure to tell them I have been using a new moisturizer and telling them what it is so they can try it as well.

    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 received product for review purposes. However, all views and opinions are genuine and my own.

    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.
