I wouldn't say this is the nicest anti-fatigue I have used, but it wasn't the worst either. I would say this is more on a starter scale for those just beginning with anti-fatigues etc. I didn't find the SkinActive to leave my face feeling fresh and/or moisturized. I also don't feel in the time allotted for this review, that I can give an honest opinion of how this will work long term. Would I purchase it again? After a month or so of proper (twice a day) use, I think I could answer that more honestly. I don't want to say "You bet I recommend" but I also don't want to give a "Fugheddaboutit" - I'm somewhere in between that. I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
I received this product as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I wish I could love this product, but I do not. I am a stay-at-home mom of a very busy 16 month old, I'm sure you can imagine how tired I look, haha! I had high hopes for this product, but for me it just doesn't do as it says. While I find the gel soothing on the skin, absorbs quickly and is lightly moisturizing, I find no other benefit using it. I used twice daily as recommended and saw no improvement in looking more refreshed. Perhaps it is just my skin, who knows. One thing I know is that I would not purchase again (definitely not at $24.99!) and likely will not recommend to friends. Sorry Garnier, you struck out on this one!
To be honest, I can't really say I saw a marked difference in my skin while using this product. It moisturizes well, but didn't really refresh me the way it claims it will.
Although it applies smoothly, I found that it didn't spread easily (I use my fingers). As a result, I found myself using a little more than the pea-sized amount recommended for face and neck. Too much, though, and it left my face feeling a little greasy.
It has a fragrance I would describe as "showery," which I didn't mind. It isn't super strong and doesn't linger.
I wouldn't recommend this product because I think the price reflects Garnier's claims that it will make you look rested and radiant. I didn't see these results, so I think it's a little over-priced for a basic moisturizer.
Thank you to the Chick Advisor Product Review Club for sending me this product free to test and review!
I received this from the product review club.
I didn't see a miracle with use of this, but like it. My skin is dry in some areas (under nose, forehead) and gets blemishes from some creams (not from this one, yey!).
I found this moisturizer good for most of my face, not extremely effective on the drier areas. It soaks in quickly and is easy to apply. Feels and smells light and fresh- i liked those aspects.
I have slight redness under my nose, in my cheeks and forehead, and this moisturizer didn't make that vanish...but my BB cream fixes that and blends well over this Garnier gel.
In the end, i find this moisturizer works as just a moisturizer without extra benefits, and i enjoyed applying it. Nothing bad. Just isn't a miracle and doesn't take away look of fatigue as name states.
I tested this item as a Product Review club member -
I like that this lotion has very light, pleasant, fresh scent that doesn't linger. Be careful when dispensing because much less than a single pump is needed to get about a pea sized amount. A full pump is too much for my face, neck and décolletage.
It's definetly not a miracle cream nor did it make my skin less fatigued but the Dimethicone ingredient does give a smooth appearance to the skin. Not at all shiny or greasy feeling and/or looking like some other moisturizers I've used.
I've only been using it once a day in the morning and that has been great for my all day moisturizing needs. I do love that it doesnt have an SP factor. Im not outside everyday so I hate overdoing SPF chemical overload in various layers of products.
I think the regular retail price is a bit steep. I see that Walmart is currently offering it at their everyday low price of $21 but I would rather buy an anti-aging prodcut for that price. If the price drops - it would be okay for a good basic everyday product.
I received this product through the Garnier SkinActive package from ChickAdvisor. I was super excited to try it and it smells great. Very fresh smelling. I like the pump dispenser too. I did not like the tight dry feeling I had after applying the product. I thought perhaps I didn't add enough, so I tried adding more product, but then it was sticky and I couldn't apply my makeup until it dried. I didn't notice any brightness difference and it didn't moisturize like I thought it would. I would not recommend this product if you like in a dry climate or are indoors a lot.
I was not impressed with the Miracle Anti-Fatigue Hydra- Gel Moisturizer, not only did it need to be applied twice a day, it did not seem to do anything for my skin. I saw no changes other than I did have a small breakout of blemishes. It says it is all day hydration, but my skin felt tight and dry while using it. I would not recommend and will not be buying it.
I received the Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anit-Fatigue Hydra-Gel Moisturizer for free as part of a ChickAdvisor Product Review Club opportunity. As the name suggests the product is a gel consistency. It goes on smoothly, leaving your skin feeling soft and somewhat matte. The slight scent is pleasant and not overwhelming. I find this provides a great base before applying your makeup. For a daytime moisturizer the product works well. I didn't notice it providing any anti-fatigue effects. I like this product for a primer before makeup but don't know if it is worth the price. For that reason I would probably not purchase it.
Thanks Garnier and Chickadvisor for giving me the opportunity to try this face cream!
I work shift and my schedule is never consistent. No matter what I do I struggle to get out of bed
in the morning. Hence why I was so excited to try an anti-fatigue cream! I need all the help I get
for those early mornings. With most creams, it takes a couple weeks to notice the actual benifits
of the product. So far I don't see any changes in the vibrancy of my skin. I will use this cream till
the very last drop to see if I do get that "ultra lift".
I got ahead of myself... Oops. First impression was that the cream was very light. The gel was cool
to touch and had a nice scent.
Once I applied the product, my skin felt moist. It took some time to absorb. Even after 5-10 minutes
my skin had a bit of sticky residue on the surface. After makeup application my skin had a dewy
appearance but still had that wet feeling.
I will continue to use this product and if anything changes I will definitely update my review.

I was excited to finally receive this product in the mail. It was shipped to me for free through the Chick Advisor Product review club. Miracle Anti-fatigue Hydra-gel moisturizer feels nice and cool as you are applying to your skin. It sinks right into your skin so you can apply makeup over it immediately. Unfortunately for me it made my skin break out a bit. Which really surprised me as my skin usually doesn't have any issues with skin care products! I don't know what it was in the product that caused me to react. Because of my reaction I won't recommend this product. Retail price for this item $24.99 not bad if you consider the other moisturizers that are in stores these days!
