Days 1 through 4, worked well as per Garnier's claims it brightened and smoothed my face's skin. Day 5, my face went puffy and my eyes went red. I stopped using it immediately. I think I possibly have an allergy or intolerance to one or more of the active ingredients.

I was very lucky to receive Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer for free as part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club.

I'm always very interested in new products of this type, as a moisturizer is truly the only product that I ALWAYS use, and always have used. I find it essential to put on after a shower to keep my skin from peeling and feeling tight. I also look for a product with at least an SPF 15, just to avoid having to think of extra things in the sun.

This product met and exceeded my expectations. It seems to be a little bit of a smaller pumped out amount than other products in this category, which was a lovely change. I always find the pumped amount in other products is a tiny bit much, thus always having some extra to get rid of. I loved that this was just enough. I also really liked the very mild smell. Strong scents bother me, and this one was just right. The cream itself felt great on my skin, and I did not experience any irritation or tightness whatsoever.

I'm so glad I tried this new product, and will definitely be utilizing it again the future. Thanks again, ChickAdvisor!

I received the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club.

My skin is very picky when it comes to moisturizers. I tend to breakout very easily, especially with moisturizers that have a SPF in them.

Surprisingly, my skin has been really happy with this moisturizer. I've been using it for the last week or so and my skin feels so smooth and is starting to look a lot brighter. No breakouts at all!

It absorbs really fast and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy. I can apply my makeup quickly after putting it on.

It does have a scent, but I don't mind it at all.

The price is a little higher than I'd like to spend but I'd but it again in the future if it was on sale.

I received the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer from Chickadvisor.com to try . I LOVE this product . I have combination skin and have a lot of trouble finding a moisturizer that is effective but not to heavy that I break out in acne . From the first time I put this product on my skin I felt a difference . It was soft and light and perfect . The only draw back is the price it is a bit on the pricier side then what I am use to . but maybe the adage you get what you pay for applies. When I am done will the bottle I will be a better judge of the price as you only need a small amount to be effective!

This moisturizer will instantly brighten your skin. It has a brightening component that delivers an immediate glow to your complexion. It has a light and pleasant smell and made my skin feel soft and smooth. It also contains an SPF as an added bonus. I have been using it for a few days and can't comment yet on long term effects but it does deliver a soft shimmer that brightens your skin right away.

I tend to have very dry patchy skin, so I'm really picky with the face creams I buy. But I have to say, this moisturizer is amazing! My skin literally felt brighter and smoother from day 1 of using this product! I trust this product to keep my skin moisturized from morning to night!

Thanks Chickadvisor for the opportunity to try out Garnier's SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening and Smoothing Moisturizer with SPF 15! I am enjoying using this moisturizer as I find it is quickly absorbed and non-greasy. Works fabulous under my makeup and I appreciate the SPF Protection built right in. My skin has had no breakouts and the scent is just right - not too overpowering. After a week of use I feel I see a significant improvement in brightness and overall texture - so thank you for introducing me to this new product!!

I use moisturizer on a daily basis so have used many brands over the years. I must say this Garnier moisturizer is one of my favourites thus far! I like that this product has a pump as it makes application easy. The consistency of the moisturizer is perfect. It is a lotion but it's not too runny. It absorbs quickly and easily into the skin and is non-greasy. It is nicely fragranced with what I would call a green tea scent.

Within a few uses of this moisturizer I noticed how soft and smooth my skin was becoming. It made for an excellent base on which to put my foundation. I have noticed just a slight increase in the radiance and brightness in my skin. Hopefully with continued use I will see more of this benefit.

I do have oily and very acne prone skin and this moisturizer did not make my skin any oilier than usual nor did it cause any increase in breakouts. This is a moisturizer I would happily switch to and recommend to others. I do find the price high for a drug store moisturizer and thus would only purchase it if it were on sale.

I think this is a pretty nice moisturizer. I did not find it oily or thick and I liked the way that it felt when I put it on, lightweight and easy breezy.
I have been using it for a week and I have not noticed any brightening, but I will continue to use and see if I do notice anything after more use.
I like that is a has a light SPF.
I think it is a great every morning choice!

You really do get results in 1 week !

I love the packaging, The pump is a good one that fits the finger well and dispenses the perfect amount.

The texture and light fresh scent is fantastic. It is a light to mid weight moisturizer that absorbs very quickly. This is no greasy feel and it does not give any residue at all. I LOVE THAT. It absorbs fast and your skin feels baby soft.

I have normal skin that is oily in the T-Zone, and I used this moisturizer under my make up. I out it on a fresh face then used my foundation base. Not at all during the day did my face feel slick or shiny. I really liked it.
From a moisturizer perspective it is a good quality product for sure.

At the end of week one I did notice that my skin looked brighter and just more glowing. And by week 2 I had girlfriends that asked what I was doing different. =) We were finishing a yoga session and I was make up free. They said my skin looked more even and my darker spots were faded.

See I have some dark spots, and often over compensate with foundation to cover up the uneven skin tone. But nothing is hidden when you have bare skin. With 2 weeks of using this brightening and smoothing moisturizer I really noticed a lighter more even skin tone.

This product has an Antioxidant Complex of Vitamin C & E, Pine Bark Essence, and gentle exfoliating Lipo-Hydroxyl Acid (LHA) and never once did it irritate or dry out my skin. I never had any areas that were flaky, red or sensitive.

This product is just as effective as the ones that are triple in price. I truly would recommend this.
