    I received this product for review from the Chick Advisor product review club

    I received this product on 02/15/16 and intend to write another review after extended use. I absolutely LOVE this product. I wish the bottle was bigger, but a little goes a long way. It made my face look and feel smooth and moisturized instantly. I never really noticed a 'anti-fatigue' effect but it's a great product. I haven't had any negative issues with it, very gentle on any skin type. Super excited I got to be part of this review because I wouldn't have tried it completely on my own dime.

    Only con to this product is the retail value (~$25)

    Now to try the 'Clearly Brighter'.

    I received this product as part of the Product Testing Club.

    I also received the Micellar Water and, although I was initially more excited about that product, find this one the better product. While I am not sure if I look more awake or refreshed (I just returned to work after mat leave and have a 3 1/2 year old and 7 month old. . . I don't know if anything can make me look truly refreshed, lol!), it is a nice, lightweight moisturizer. I have combination skin which can suffer from hormonal breakouts so, while moisturizing is important to me, I am a little picky about the products I use.

    On the positive side, this product has a lovely pump dispenser and, while it isn't a huge bottle, a little goes a long way. The moisturizer is lightweight, absorbs quickly and has very little (if any) scent. I find it is excellent for daytime use and have no problem applying makeup over top (some moisturizers are too greasy for me to do this). I also find the price reasonable for this type of product. Probably my favourite thing is the gel texture - it doesn't feel like I'm slathering a heavy, creamy moisturizer over my face, which is perfect for oily or combo skin types. This also has very few triggers according to CosDNA (dimethicone is a level 1 acne trigger, and tocopherol is a level 2 acne trigger and a level 2 potential irritant). I had no irritation or breakouts while using this product.

    On the downside, I didn't feel that this did the job any better than some of my other moisturizers. Yes, it moisturized. But it didn't seem to wake up my skin as promised (as I mentioned, I'm not sure if any product can do that for me at this point in my life). It also contains alcohol which isn't generally something I like to see in a moisturizer - not a deal-breaker, but the ingredients list doesn't wow me.

    Ultimately, this is an average moisturizer. It definitely does its job and I appreciate how lightweight it is. I don't feel like I'm smothering my skin when I use this product. At this price point, this is a good choice for those with oily or combo skin. I wouldn't recommend it if you have drier skin (this is not a moisture bomb) or if you prefer skincare without alcohols.

    I got this for free through the Product Review Club (which also came with the Garnier SkinActive Micellar water, blueberry jam tea, and a cup that says 'Wake Up Be Awesome Repeat')

    Overall, I do really like this product ! There's not a lot of moisturizers I feel comfortable wearing under my make up, but I had no problem with this one. It's light, gel-like, and absorbs very quickly into the skin. Not too sure about the claim that it'll transform your skin in one day, but this definitely had no negative side effects on me. Will continue to use this as my morning moisturizer !!

    I received this product to try, and I must say like it. I dont usually use gel moisturizes. It makes my face feel so nice and silky smooth. The smell is nice and not overpowering. The only thing I am not a fan of is that during the day I find my face feeling oily. This usually doesn't happen when I use cream moisturizers. Overall though I think it is a good product but I probably will not be buying it again.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this moisturizer, I don't have big issues with my skin so what i look for in a moisturizer is to protect my skin from getting dry from makeup, which i use on a daily basis. On that note, it blends really well with my foundation and its not peeling off or anything. Also like the texture and the scent.

    I'd like to begin by thanking Garnier and Chick Advisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product in exchange for my feedback.
    Now, I personally prefer this type of moisturizer for my face as it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. It has kept my face well moisturized all day, to say the least. I didn't care too much about the smell. It kind of smells like a dentist's office, lol. Secondly, it has given my face a nice bright, awake, even appearance; even more youthful look? Although, I'm not that old anyways, lol. Thirdly, the fast absorption of the gel is great too. You don't need too much product to get results. Even on those harsh winter days, it has kept my face moisturized. A great product overall. Price wise, it's a bit expensive, however, since it lasts a long time, it's worth it to invest as it'll pay for itself in the end.

    I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I have been using the gel since receiving it and i absolutely love the feel of it on my skin. The formula is extremely light weight yet hydrating. Also, i only use 1 pump and it really spreads out and blends well to my skin. I didn't really notice anything in regards to anti-fatigue, i was even asked why i looked so tired! but thats okay, you win some and you lose some right? I'm definitely going to pick up another one once i finish my current one!

    I have been using this for a week now and am very impressed with it's moisturizing effect. I love that the gel instantly becomes a liquid when it touches your face. It absorbs extremely fast and a little goes a long way. My face is well hydrated and even the recent cold weather hasn't diminished that. I find the fragrance a little bothersome, I prefer non-scented products, but the scent isn't extreme and fades fairly fast. While this product does a great job of moisturizing, I haven't seen any anti-aging effects yet. Maybe with a little more use. Even though a little goes a long way, I'm not impressed with the price. Unless I begin to see a reduction in signs of aging I'm not sure I would pay this much for a moisturizer.

    I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I have been using the gel for 7 days now and love the feel of it on my skin. The gel is light & gentle and keeps your face moisturized all day even in -25 weather. It has a fresh scent and the gel makes it easy to apply. In my opinion the gel is expensive for the size of bottle but a little bit goes a long way so it would easily last over a month. They suggest applying it twice a day for best results but I only felt the need to apply once as the gel leaves your skin moisturized and shiny all day long. Although I have not noticed a difference with fatigue or anti-aging qualities I do find my face more refreshed after applying the gel. I would definitely recommend this product to friends and would buy it again if it was on sale.

    I received Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue Wake-up Hydra Gel Moisturizer thanks to Chickadvisors product review club. I had never tried any moisturizer product from Garnier prior to this (usually only stuck to their hair products). With that being said, I was impressed by the moisturizer. It comes in a gel consistency and when applied it is not heavy at all but does a great job moisturizing. The scent is great for those of you who enjoy a very subtle fresh scent. Although the bottle is so small a little goes a long way. However, for the price it is listed as and what it claims to do, I don't think I would be running to repurchase it over other moisturizers. If price is not an issue, it is definitely worth a try.
