Best out there

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.

Tips: You don’t need to use that much, also you have it for longer

Garnia Vitamin C Brightening Serum

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.

Tips: Use regularly to keep your skin glowing.

Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Serum

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.

Tips: Make sure you use a good, broad spectrum spf

Kind of brightening...

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.

Nice product

I was gifted this by a friend and I took it home unsure if it was going to be for me. So far I am liking it, easy to put on with the eye dropper, has a pleasant smell, feels nice on, skin looks brighter to me.

Loving it!

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.

Tips: Don’t apply around your eyes. Given there is salicylic acid in this product I’d make that sure you wear a moisturiser with sun protection.

Amazing

A bottle of amazing. This product delivered everything it said it would.

It brightened my skin and made its smoother after 3 days.

After 6 days my dark spots had reduced.

I love the smell of the product. Light but not overwhelming.

The container in comes in is so cute and I love the glass bottle. The dropper is extremely user friendly and makes the use easy. I feel that the dropper size is quite large and I use less product then the full dropper.

I also found that the product wasn’t too thick or didn’t make my skin feel oily or heavy and it soaked up very quickly and then I could put my normal makeup on or bb cream for that day.

Overall I would use it again. It brightens, smoothes and makes my skin feel refreshed and amazing.

Garnier Brightening Serum

I have enjoyed trialing this serum over the past week and a bit. Although I have definitely noticed my skin looking brighter since I began using it, I don't think it has done as much for my skin as it advertises.

It comes in a glass bottle with a little dropper, and I wasn't expecting a Garnier product to come in a glass bottle so I was pleasantly surprised by this.

The directions state to use a full dropper on your skin in the morning and the evening. I definitely felt like this was too much product for my skin, so I played around with using different amounts. I think 3 drops worked the best for me.

It has quite a thin consistency and a reasonably strong scent. It is rather perfume-like, so I would avoid this if you dislike having fragrance in your skin care routine.

Overall, I would say it is a nice introduction to vitamin C serums, and I will definitely be exploring these more in the future to find one that suits my own skin care routine better.

So Impressed!

I’ve been so impressed by the Garnier Vitamin C Serum, it actually does what it says! My skin looks brighter, clearer and my skin tone more even after a short time of use.

The serum comes in a glass bottle with a dropper which makes it super easy to apply. One drop is enough to cover my face and neck, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated.

I love the lemony scent of the product which you notice when applying but doesn’t linger. It feels lovely and refreshing when applying and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or greasy. It also sits nicely under makeup.

I’m excited to continue using this serum and see some further results!

Amazing Serum

I am so impressed with this vitamin C Brightening Serum!! I have been using this serum in the morning before applying my makeup and I love the way my skin feels and looks after applying it. It feels very refreshing and rejuvenating. It has a lovely light citrus scent and feels very light and has a smoothing effect under the eyes. I have been using it for a week now and it will definitely be incorporated into my everyday routine. It definitely is a must have.

Tips: Use in the morning after washing your face. Use sparingly, a little goes a long way.
