In a Nutshell: Garnier SkinActive says; ...“Re-charge skin with a continuous boost of hydration for an energized, radiant look every day.”

~ My Experience
The directions say to pump a pea size amount onto your fingers and smooth on your face until absorbed. And literally...that is all you need; a pea size pump. So even though this moisturizer is going to run you about $25.00 initially, it is well worth the investment, as you won’t be running out to replace it very often. It has a fresh, light scent that doesn’t last, and it feels lightweight and refreshing going on. It smooths on beautifully and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. My make-up also lasts throughout the day, with little or no mid-day melt. My skin feels hydrated and healthy looking. I’m not sure it can make my skin look less fatigued, but I’m pleased with what I do see and feel. This is a quality drugstore product. .

I received a free sample of Garnier SkinActive Ultra-Lift Miracle Wake-Up Cream from ChickAdvisor to try, in exchange for an honest review.

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor review team when I first applied this product after cleansing my face felt so alive fresh silky and smooth Every morning after I take my shower I can't wait to apply my Garnier Miracle Anti-Fatigue Hydra-Gel Moisturizer they don't call it Miracle for nothing My eyes used to feel so tired all day long not anymore my eyes and the rest of my face feels so lively it wakes me right up it only takes a little dab of this product and it works miracles I will definitely be buying this product it works so much better than my usual product that I was using I love it and I would recommend it to anyone anytime

wow! I am very pleasantly surprised with this moisturizer! I was not expecting this product to perform as well as it does. It seems like the drugstore products are really stepping up their game. Being in my 40's, I rarely consider the drugstore for my moisturizers anymore but this has me thinking again. I have combo/oily skin that is very dehydrated, acne prone and reactive so it can be tough to find something at the drugstore to meet all of my skins needs. This one did not disappoint, it actually went way beyond what my expectations were.

This product is a light gel consistency and has a very slight but pleasant fragrance. It penetrates right into my skin but also leaves a protective layer of product on the surface of my skin, making my skin feel hydrated all day long, literally until I have to wash my face before bed. The result for me is super soft skin that is normally rough from the dehydration. On days where I am not wearing makeup I can't stop touching my skin ( I know I shouldn't but I just can't help it), my skin just feels so youthful to the touch, plump and hydrated is how I would describe it. The fact that it keeps my skin plumped and hydrated all day long has me really blown away!

I find this moisturizer does double duty as it works great as a makeup primer too. When I don't wear makeup it improves the look of my skin like a primer would and reduces the appearance of my pores. And, when I do wear makeup it helps my makeup go on better, look smoother and more perfected as it's already helped with the appearance of texture issues, dehydration, and pore size.

I did not experience any breakouts or bumps whatsoever and I found this moisturizer extremely soothing to my skin, no stinging or burning like some gel moisturizers. I think this would be suitable for sensitive skin types. This is a gem from the drugstore. I probably would never have stopped to look at it since I didn't have high expectations for it but this is as good as, if not better than similar high end products that I have used. Garnier has my attention and has me looking at the drugstore once again. I would definitely recommend this product!

Thank you #chickadvisor and #garnier for giving me the opportunity to try this fab product! I received this product as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and all opinions are my own. #TryGarnier

This moisturizer is the bomb! It feels lightweight and cooling on the skin, and the gel texture is smooth and absorbs into the skin right away, leaving my face feeling soft, smooth, and moisturized. It's great to put on after a shower and before makeup. Compared to my usual facial moisturizers (L'Oreal Ideal Moisture Day Cream and Nivea mattifying day cream), I find this Garnier one to be much better and more effective at hydrating my combination-oily skin. I will definitely be purchasing this product in the future, as I find it's worth the $25, and I highly recommend it to all. My mom loves it, too!

I received this product in exchange for an honest review. I have to say this "anti-fatigue" claim is absolutely true! My skin feels and looks more "radiant" after only a weeks use. The bottle is perfectly sized and you just need a tiny pea-sized amount to cover your entire face. It feels a bit sticky at first but after its absorbed it's fine. My eye bags look less dark and my skin looks and feels younger. I will continue to use this product and will most likely purchase it later. Thank you Chick Advisor for the opportunity!!

I received this from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

I've been using this for the past week and I really enjoy it. It's a lightweight gel consistency and my foundation goes on smoothly after letting it dry for a few minutes. I've noticed my skin looks brighter and more awake if that makes sense. It also hasn't broken out my very sensitive skin. I'm impressed so far and it will be great for the summer months!

I received this product free through the Chick Advisor Product Review Club, and I have to say, that I LOVE it! I frequently have a hard time finding a moisturizer that doesn't leave my face greasy. The Garner SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue Hydra-Gel is perfect! It's more of a gel, and goes on really smoothly, and absorbs right in! It has a great smell, but it's not too overpowering, and I truly feel like my skin looks less red, and more "awake". With a price point of $24.99, it is not something I would have picked up without trying first, but now that I have had a chance to try it, I will definitely be purchasing it in the future!

I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. It has a very light, subtle feel to it. The scent is a bit overpowering at first, but it went on incredibly smooth. My skin stayed hydrated for hours, where other products gave up this continued to hydrate. Again it doesn't have that stickiness that other moisturizers do. A small amount goes a long way, this product will last many weeks. My skin looks and feels much healthier! Definitely a must have ladies!

I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.this cream is the bomb! The first time I use this product think I used a little bit too much and it sat on top of my skin and felt a little bit too greasy. The second time I read the instructions and only used a pes sized amount which made a huge difference.

The cream is really easy to apply and isn't use strong smelling, feels great on the skin and does give my face a radiant look. I had a friend comments that it looked like I was wearing foundation, surprise surprise! I will buy this product after my sample runs out.

I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor for review purposes.
Let me start with the packaging. The box it comes in is bright green, like most of Garnier's products. It is attractive, and would certainly catch my eye on the shelf. The bottle itself is a pump - my favorite! It dispenses the perfect amount every time and there is no contamination from dipping fingers into a tub. I actually really like the tiffany-blue bottle - the color is beautiful!
If you do not like scented lotions, this product is not for you. It is quite heavily scented. I, however, love scented products. The smell of this lotion is fresh and clean - kind of reminds me of laundry, to be honest. My skin is a bit on the sensitive side, and this lotion did not bother it, despite the heavy aroma. I did feel like the scent woke me up a bit.
The lotion itself is more a gel - glides onto my skin easily. I have combination skin but the dry parts are REALLY dry and this stuff just sucked right into my face - it absorbed quickly and easily. It left my face feeling very refreshed! And one pump from the bottle does your whole face and neck. Perfect. I estimate this bottle will last about a month using it daily. The box says to use it twice daily, but I prefer a heavier cream at night so this has been working as my daytime lotion. I find it serves as a good base to apply makeup overtop.
I have been using this product for about a week. I do find that my skin looks brighter - less DULL. I think it is a bit plumper too - less fine lines around my eyes. The big downside of this moisturizer, for me, is the lack of SPF. I have been wearing it during the day but only on days I wear my SPF 30 BB cream overtop. On the days I do not wear makeup - I wear lotion with SPF. For the price of $24.99 per bottle, I would have liked this product to contain SPF - as without it, it is not a stand-alone product!
Overall, I like this product. If it cost less than $24.99 per bottle, I would purchase it. At $24.99 per bottle with no sunscreen component, however, I cannot justify the purpose. I will stick to my regular day lotion with SPF. If this product is ever released with SPF, though, let me know! Please!!
