I honestly have to say that this would have gotten 5 lippies but I have VERY dry skin and I had to lather this on. Therefore, I have to repurchase so very often. It's amazing though. I like it because its not greasy. It moisturizes and doesn't feel like an oil slick. It does what it claims. I am a big garnier fan though, and I love mostly all their products. If you have oily skin, it may work, if you apply it sparingly. I need a bucket of water and cream lathered on me 24/7. This does the job if applied liberally. Not many creams out there give me this effect of moisturzing and actually absorbing and feeling silky and smooth. I dont care if I have to repurchase often cause its worth it.

This product really worked for me. I see a difference in the morning in my skin. I can honestly say it does leave your skin looking radiant. I only use this at night and use the Skin Renew SPF 28 during the day since it doesn't have SPF in it. But I would definitely would recommend this product. It feels smooth on and I love it.

Call me crazy. I bought this cream when i saw 'Radiance Moisture' on it....Radiance and Moisture are the two things i was looking for in that cream .( as a dark skinned woman i tend to buy stuff that says it would boost radiance...)
I've normal-dry skin...This cream doesn't seem to help with the moisturization at all during winter. maybe it might be okay in summer.donno. It absorbs like in secs.First i apply it on my chin and move upwards.So by the second i'm on my cheeks; my chin has kind of like the cream has been absorbed but left some white film.
It gives me some radiance bcoz of Vit C .
I don't mind the smell; smells like a good chemical product .
but it gives me bumps and it's itchy.
Never buying it again

I love this cream! Meeks my skin feel fresh and soft.

The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because I wish it had SPF. But maybe that would make it oilier - and I'm glad it's not oily at all.

This product is useless but it doesn't make your face worse like some products.

It temporarily moisturizes your face. It makes your face look a little shiny. Occassionally, it gives you little bumps. But they go away quickly. After I wash it off, it feels funny like there's a film on the face. I hate the film thing.

I think the price (around $19 retail, no discount) is expensive considering it doesn't do anything for me.

It has a scent. I don't have a problem with it. It smells nice anyway.

The packaging is ok, a glass jar. It does'nt look flimsy. Some people may complain about hygene for not using a pump or toothpaste like tube. But I am all right with the jar.

this product burned my skin so badly someone actually told me that my face looked like it had been slapped multiple times! the first time i opened the jar, i realized how oily the cream was. it has a pleasant scent but it was too oily for my combo skin. anyway, both the face and neck had really bad reaction to it. took me a week to heal. what a waste of money!

I bought it in the night cream version expecting to reduce the dullness of my complexion during stressful times and I'm overall satisfied with the results.
Though it is not enough to actively erase expression lines (I'm pretty sure about this feature, because I compared the results of using the cream first by itself and then together with Nivea's Q10 Plus Serum) it does provide a remarkable amount of moisture and improves the skin's radiance.
Also, I was afraid that like many other anti-aging products, its texture would be too heavy and add more grease to my already oily skin, but luckily it wasn't an issue - albeit it is somehow rich, it suits perfectly a nighttime application, as it creates a protective and regenerating barrier. The aroma is pleasant as well: a slight but perceptible blend of grape and green tea scents.
I put it on after washing, toning and spreading a tiny amount of serum over my face and it absorbs almost immediately. I wake with a smoother and fresher skin, even when I don't get as much sleep as I need. For starters in anti-aging routines like myself, it's a great value for the price (costs around 11€, a very reasonable cost for a night cream).

I'm surprised this has such a low rating, I love it. It's nice & light, doesn't break me out, and smells great(like green tea). My skin has gotten a lot brighter & more even-toned since I've been using this, and I can even wear it under my makeup with no oily feeling. Most moisturizers make me wanna claw my face off cause they feel so greasy, but this actually absorbs instead of just sitting on my skin. Pretty cheap as well. Nothing at all to hate about this!

If you have a very dry skin, this is not for you, my skin felt tight and dry even after applying alot of it.

I got this during CVS Bucks back promo. So paid almost nothing for this cream. (originally around $11)

I have acne prone dry skin. I find the packaging very unsanitary so everytime I use this product I grab a q-tip and (Do not double dip!!!)... I wish this came in a pump, however it can be worked around (as long as its not the pour kind I am alright with it).

The product is okay. I love it. however for it being $11ish for a drugstore I find it kind of price. I apply in the morning, night, and throughout the day... it takes about ~2 1/2 months to use up the product (making it 5.50 per month)

This product works best with a brush cleanser. I have very flaky skin during the winter time. This product prevents this ( Only on the cheeks chin and forehead ) for some reason it doesnt help my nose flaking also. However I have ezxcma so my face soaks up the product really fast, I have to put some of the product in a small container to put into my purse to do touch up ( on my nose and around my lips mainly ) throughout the day. There are also no scent with this product.

I have very dry skin and also have concerns about wrinkles. I bought this bc I was/am on the lookout for a good drugstore moisturizer that doesnt break me out, leaves my face supple, and keeps my foundation from flaking. I used to never wear foundation until now. I think between my age, hormone changes, and sun damage my skin has become uneven. I am finally at the age of 33 using foundation. I have had trouble with them bc I couldn't find a moisturizer that kept the makeup from looking dry and flaky. i have been using this for about 2 weeks and have had good results with combining it with maybelline dream liquid. I dont see any changes in the actual condition of my skin, but it does help the makeup application. I will need to continue to use a heavier cream at night to really treat my skin. I'm not sure if I'd buy it again bc it hasnt improved my skin..just makeup application.

Having oily skin growing up, I never really thought I needed a moisturizer. But after getting a firm talking to after getting a facial, decided to pick up a light one. I still have some areas that get oily, so I wanted an oil-free moisturizer, and since I haven't started seeing any fine lines anywhere, anti-wrinkle components wasn't important.

This is a light moisturizer, and I use it at night. At first, my skin would feel really soft and hydrated. But by morning it felt like an oil slick, so this definitely wouldn't be an AM moisturizer for me. Over time my face hasn't seemed as oily in the mornings, but nor is my face as moisturized as it felt in the beginning either. So I'm willing to come back to this one, but I want to see if I can't find something better before I do.

I love this cream! I'm not usually a cream user as I tend to have oiler skin, but now that I'm over 30 and it's winter, I started getting some patches of dry flaky skin that my regular lotion moisturizer was just not enough for and tried this (mostly b/c my mother-in-law just switched from years of using Olay to Garnier and loves it and I had a coupon for Garnier) and I love it! It's rich, but not greasy, it absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth matte finish, but still moisturizes and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I tend to break out with certain products, too, and this hasn't made me break out at all, in fact, I think it's helped moisturize and clear up some of my previous breakouts. Makeup goes on smoothly overtop of this like a primer and I don't get shiny at all during the day. I'm not crazy about the jar packaging, but that's the only downside for me. All in all, I love it and am hoping it does what it says over time and brings out some 'radiance' in my aging skin!

I bought some for myself and some for my husband. We have both noticed breakouts all over our faces. Most especially around the ching and cheekbone areas. Will not buy again. I have a full jar and will toss it when I find something else to wear. I hadn't realized it but after reading some of the other reviews, I believe it does leave my makeup looking "textured". blah

I had Clinique Moisture Surge Gel moisturizer and needed a quick fix when I was out and between visits to the department store...come to find out that the cheaper (although not for a drugstore brand) works better for me than the department store brand! First off I love the texture and feel of this product, it goes on and doesn't make me feel like my face is an oil slick, but I feel refreshed (like my skin just took a drink of water). It hasn't broken me out and I have seen some improvement on a few fine lines around my mouth and my freckles from the summer are completely gone. I will buy this again, but only with a coupon. The only complaint (like a number of the other reviewers) is that for the price you don't seem to get your money's worth.

I first tried this as a sample and was fascinated by it. I'd never used a cream moisturizer before. When I went back to my old lotion my face didn't feel right. This moisturizer does not leave my face feeling greasy and if I'm out of primer, I can barely tell the difference.

This cream is fast drying and you don't need to use a lot of it. My skin always feels soft and supple after using it and it's the first non-medicated moisturizer to keep my breakouts in check.

I have combination skin with T-Zone oil break outs and some dry skin glorified white heads under my cheeks if I don't keep things in check.

I make sure to hoard $2 off Garnier moisturizer coupons so that when I need to replace this I am never paying full price.

This is my HG of moisturizers.

Love this product! I have combination skin, and this works wonders for that. I have little red dots around my mouth, which I am guessing is acne scars. I have been using it for about 1 month and those red dots are almost gone! I really love the texture also. It reminds me of a face primer's texture.

This was a thin face cream that did okay at moisturizing, but really not that great. The smell was fine, subtle. It didn't break me out. My skin didn't feel very moisturized in the morning (I used it at night). Just thin and blah. Maybe I'm too used to richer night creams, but I just don't like these thin ones.
