So far, I love this moisturizer. For summer, I need something with a high spf, considering that I have very fair skin. This went on so smoothely and I haven't noticed any inflammation or irritation. And I spend $10 on it. Worth every penny.

I bought this more as a sunblock than a moisturizer, which I've never used due to my very oily skin. I've tried many oil-free sunblocks for the face that claim not to be greasy and not have that familiar sunscreen smell, and one or two are good. But I find that after using this product, makeup sits better on my skin than it does over a single-purpose sunblock.

I like the fact that this is creamy (but oil-free). Other moisturizer/sunblock combos, like Benefit's Sheer Oil-Free Facial Lotion, are liquid, and take too much time to sink into my skin. In addition, with liquid products, I wonder how much I have to use to get the amount of sun protection advertised. With Garnier's, I'm confident I'm getting enough, and it's a high level of protection--SPF 28. The pump is sanitary, and when the amount gets low you can unscrew the pump top and scoop the product out. It absorbs quickly and has almost no scent. When I first saw it, it looked like a small amount and I was afraid it wouldn't last long, but that has not proven to be true. And the price is reasonable. All in all, I'm very happy with this product and have already repurchased it.

I have fair, aging, acne-prone skin. Even in my mid-thirties, I struggle with breakouts, but I need moisture and SPF. I have tried everything, usually with awful results (breakouts). This has been a miracle. It is not greasy but spread easily. It has a pleasant but not overpowering scent. Best of all- I haven't had a single pimple since trying it.

This was just alright, nothing special. It absorbed well & made my face a little greasy because of the spf. I didn't notice any significant improvements from this with evening out skin tone or correcting sun spots. I honestly just think it does the same thing as any sunscreen would do. It was alright at moisturizing. There are many better products out there than this. I wouldn't buy this again. continued >>

I have been using this now for a couple of months. I really like it. I'm a huge fan of citrus scents in general, so the scent really doesn't bother me. This actually makes my skin feel like butter and works very well under my foundation. I also use the moisture rescue cleanser by Garnier which I also love. I tend to have very dry skin in the winter and as my HG foundation is EL's double wear I need heavy moisture under my makeup. If you have oily skin better skip on this one. Great for dry/normal skin. I have noticed "slight" improvement in my sun spots, but nothing drastic yet. I may try using this as my nightitme moisturizer as well as my derm said the sunscreen wouldn't hurt anything overnight. I like the higher SPF factor as well. I will continue to buy this until they discontinue it. (hoping they dont)

I was so disappointed that this product didn't work out for me b/c I love Garnier's products of all kinds but this one irritated my face so bad the very first day I used it that it felt like I had a terrible sunburn (& I had been indoors all day!)
Everything about it seemed great but it may be the fragrance that just made me so sensitive (even though I never am, usually).
I have been using Neutrogena SPF mixed with Bobbi Brown 15 SPF foundation as a kind of tinted moisturizer before but I want something that has more of a benefit for the skin than just sunblock & coverage so I think I will go back to Lancome's Bienfait SPF 30 since it has worked really well for me in the past, if only it didn't cost so much! continued >>

I struggle with both acne and aging skin and usually have trouble with moisturizers and sunscreen. This lotion doesn't break me out or sting, spreads easily, doesn't pill, dries down to a nice finish, and has SPF 28. Did I mention it doesn't break me out? It also doesn't migrate into my eyes and sting during the course of a day. I don't know if it has improved my sun damage, but my skin does look great and it's a great moisturizer with higher SPF. I like that it has both UVB and stable UVA protection along with antioxidants because I don't like to use multiple products on my skin. It has a citrus/fruit fragrance that I find pleasant. I've repurchased many times and think it is a great price for a great product. It works better for me than many more expensive products.

so i purchased this product about 6 months ago, i use it about 3 times a week and i still have about 1/4 of the bottle. i purchased this after garnier added the alcohol dent. into the formulation so i can't compare a before and after. personally i have pretty "good" skin. not acne prone, just pretty normal. i like the higher spf in this product and also enjoy the smell of this lotion. to me it's a light fragrance but i can see why others would not be so keen on it. especially those sensitive to frangrance. i like this stuff because it absorbs quickly and doesn't mess with my makeup application. also it doesn't feel like sunscreen. i haven't had an adverse reaction to this product at all. i might purchase this product again unless i find something better.

I like the idea of having an SPF 28, I like the pump dispenser and I also like the smell of this product but then when I applied on my skin it felt so heavy and since I have acne prone skin I just decided not to use it on a daily basis. I only used it when going to the beach or actually taking the sun on my backyard, but after sun exposure I did break out a little and existing break outs got worse; I'm not sure if should completely blame this product. Because I didn't want to waste the product I've been using it on the back of my hands as daily protection from sun damage and dark spots and so far I'm glad, I use my normal hand moisturizer and this product on top.

Not bad. Citrus smell is a little strong, but that fades, and you're left with a really decent moisturizer that doesn't irritate your skin.

I have been trying different ways to make this work for me, but I can't seem to get it to work for me. Every time I apply this, it pilles (is that the term?). Even today, I let it dry on my skin for many hours without putting anything over it and it still smeared together leaving areas of no product and other areas of product clumped together. I don't know how else to explain it. For me, I can't use it by itself, or on top of other moisturizer, and especially not with makeup. Keep in mind, I have dry skin.

I think this is a good product and I think it DOES work. IF it doesn't stink your face... like it did mine. So, I have been using it on my neck for about 2-3 months and I have to say it is quite nice for the neck area. SPF and I do notice the lines on my neck are not as bad and the skin is more even and bright. However, I will never buy this again since it burned my face - very painful... so only try if you are really not sensitive.

MAYBE - I'll buy this again.
Been using it for a few months - the improvement to my face has been minimal - barely noticeable - reduction of redness and some sunspots - just barely - and maybe due to time, not to the product.
The product is a very nice consistency, and a good sunscreen. I've been wearing it daily on my face and neck. I realize those few days when I forget it - because I get a little rosy in the cheeks.
Will I buy it again? I don't know. It's not doing what it says it will do - reduce sun damage to skin (maybe nothing can do that) - but it does do a nice job protecting skin from the sun as a sunscreen.
Scented - yes, this may be bothersome.
Keep it out of your eyes.
Another sunscreen -without any promises to reverse anything that's already happened to my face - might be my next purchase.

I've been using this daytime moisturizer for a long time. I love the consistency. It's not too thick or runny, making it perfect for my combo skin. I use one pump for my face and neck. It does feel thick when I first apply, but it absorbs into my skin in minutes, leaving it matte and comfortable. I don't breakout from this and it hasn't clogged my pores. The only thing I don't like about this product is the addition of fragrance. I don't mind the scent; it's not overpowering or offensive to me, but I believe that fragrance can be irritating, so why add it? Anyways, I give this a 4 out of 5, but only because of the fragrance. Best daytime moisturizer I've found for my skin.
Also, I feel the vitamin C in this really does brighten my skin. I feel it looks more clear and radiant these days.

Believe it or not, I bought this to use as a body sunscreen, given the ingredients (at least on paper) are excellent with 3% avobenzone and 7% octocrylene, which means it offers very good UVA protection, coupled with antioxidants.
I also thought it smelled nice and went on nicely.
The problem was.... it appeared to irritate my sensitive skin, and I only used it on my arms. Seems no one else has had that problem, tho. I will update my review if something changes. If you can use it without it irritating you, this is a good sunscreen.

I am so impressed with this! I find it to be non-greasy and quick absorbing. If i wear it without makeup i find myself left with a really healthy glow! I love the higher spf and the pump bottle dispenser! Im also quite fond of the fresh scent! A superior product in the $10-15 drugstore moisturizer range!

im surprised that this product broke out alot of people. My skin is very acne prone and break out to most make up containing talc and silicon. This lotion is very moisturizing and i use this every single day. When i first started using it, it made my face more oilier than normal and i had to blot more than 3 times a day. But when i started using PanOxyl 10 BP face wash (which is great btw! go read the reviews!!) my skin became super dried, and when i put this on, it made my skin normal, like i have a normal skin type! amazing! for the sun spot reduction i cant really tell but i noticed my face a bit brighter!

So far I've been using this product for about a week and I pretty much love it. I was looking for a daily moisturizer that had sunscreen and would not cause me to break out. I'm very active and have sensitive skin. I'm not sure if this product is the reason my skin has suddenly cleared up but I love the texture and it seems to work perfectly.

Ugh this stuff is horrible! Every time I wore this it never blended no matter how much I would try to blend. The consistency is way too thick, and I would be left with white streaks everywhere! Also it would just flake off throughout the day. I'm not sure if this caused me to break out, because I broke out as soon as I started to use this again. Also I don't think this moisturizes much because I would get dry patches on my cheeks and I'm really oily... Overall did this help fade any sun damage? I'm not sure because I was too busy fighting break outs and dryness, no I would never purchase this again.
