Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Serum

I’d been wanting to try a vitamin c serum so when my friend gifted me this I couldn’t wait to try it. And so far it hasn’t disappointed! After a week of using it my skin feels nice and I’m certain that it’s lessened the appearance of some dark spots. I apply it on the morning, under my moisturiser. The amount released by the dropper is perfect, it goes on easily and has a nice light fragrance.

I really loved using this Garnier serum! The consistency was thin enough that it spread on my skin easily and absorbed quickly without feeling sticky. The fragrance was quite subtle so I didn't feel like I was walking around smelling like a lemon tree after putting it on. I mostly used it in the evening after cleansing my face and then following up with my night cream. It seemed to make my night cream absorb into my skin quicker too. The little dropper made it easy to get a suitable amount, but wasn't as helpful once I got towards the end of the bottle. Luckily the bottle was clear glass so it made it easier to see how much I had left. And with the consistency being on the thinner side it was easy enough to carefully tip the bottle on it's side and get the last bit of the serum out. The serum itself is marketed towards removing dark spots and evening out skin tone, I don't currently have any of these issues, but I did notice my skin looked brighter after applying it.

I got a bottle of this in the last Beauty Vault opening. I normally use one from The Ordinary, so it was interesting to compare. This is in quite a larger than average bottle. I like that you can see the level of the product. The liquid is of average serum consistency and is an opaque white. Lightly scented. It comes with a dropper dispenser. I use one full dropper and pat into my face, neck and decolletage every morning and leace for a couple of minutes to absorb, before applying spf. I can't say that I have noticed any overtly 'brightening' of my skin, or lightened of any sunspots...but I have noticed a subtle change and it is a pleasant product to use. The inclusion of salicyclic acid would make it great for blemish prone skin, but also increases sun sensitivity. I will.probably stick to my The Ordinary one, although more expensive, it seems to have more of a 'kick' for my ageing skin.

I found the serum absorbed within a few minutes.

It lifted my complexion and gave my face a healthy glow that I loved.

I have an age spot above my eyebrow and did see signs of fading and texture smoothing, it didn't remove it entirely but did fade it alot.

I liked the gently fresh citrus scent, it wasn't overpowering or chemically smelling.

I would purchase again.

I am so happy with this product. There is no better product that makes you feel so enlightened. My face felt glowing and fresh. This is so good and you don’t even have to use much. Such a great product.
