Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream for Normal/Combo Skin, Oil-Free, 1.7 Oz (50g), 2 Count (Packaging May Vary)

When I think of gel, I think of hair products! And since I've never known gels to moisturize the skin, using this was even more alien to me! But wow.. this has actually proven itself to pack quite the efficient punch! The gel is slightly opaque with a nice cool color of mint green. The gel feels as cool as it looks and isn't thick like a tub of hair gel, but it certainly isn't runny, though you may get some gel on the underside of the jar's lid if the jar is placed at an angle or upside down. The gel is also completely scentless! Let me just say a little goes a LONG way. Usually when I put lotion on my face, I put a little dollop in my hand, rub my hands together to warm it up, and spread it onto my face. Because this gel requires so little to go a long way and absorbs quickly into your skin, I simply dot my face with the gel and that meager amount is enough for my face. Within a minute, the gel is completely absorbed, readying my skin for some sunblock. Before I used to use Cetaphil moisturizing cream and as fantastic as that cream is, it's a little too thick and rich for my daily needs so I'd have to wait a few minutes for it to fully absorb to put on makeup otherwise if I put on makeup with the lotion still sitting on my skin, it'd LOOK like I have makeup on my skin. Cetaphil is great, but I think its richness is better for using at night. I'm very glad I bought this gel, it's perfect to use before a day out. My skin is in great condition thanks to my daily use of Vitamin C on my skin and thanks to abiding by the rules of The Japanese Skincare Revolution by Chizu Saeki so I'm used to my skin looking a nice way and didn't think my skin could look any better. Though my skin is firm and smooth with the use of my regular moisturizer, Cetaphil, I'm surprised to see a difference with Garnier! The luminosity I've gained from the use of Garnier is absolutely flattering. My skin looks so smooth and glows! All this time I thought the richer the better but this gel cream has taught me that less is more! It's so light yet my skin is quenched!

I've seen this product advertised in many magazines and decided to buy it from Amazon after reading all the amazing reviews, and I was not disappointed. My skin is extremely sensitive - I've broken out in irritating rashes and acne from using Neutrogena, Clinique, Clean & Clear, and Lancome products before - , and it was super dry before I looked around for a new moisturizer, so it's pretty difficult to find a good product for my skin. Not to mention, I also have a tendency for eye irritation to anything with a strong fragrance, so I was apprehensive about this cream. This moisturizer completely restored my dry, flaky skin. My skin can now withstand cold, dry winters. I've never had such smooth and clear skin before. It's very absorbent and lightweight at the same time, and it wasn't damaging in any way to my skin at all. The smell didn't bother me at all, and it made me feel very refreshed. The jar might seem small, but it lasts for awhile, considering the quality of it. Moreover, my makeup goes on more smoothly and lasts longer after using this moisturizer. I dab it on every morning, and it keeps my skin moisturized for the entire day. You do not need a lot. A little goes a long way. I bought it in February and it lasted me until June, for a total of four months of use - an amazing deal for such a wonderful product. Forget all those expensive moisturizers. This is all you need. UPDATE (4/19/15): I started using this product in 2011, and 4 years later, it’s still my go-to moisturizer. For reference, I have combination skin (used to have dry skin). I started using this moisturizer when I was 18, and I’m 22 now. Also, protip: Amazon usually has really good prices with the S&S option, and they have the $1/$1.50 off coupon from time to time, to save you even more money. That means that there are times when it’ll only cost you under $5 to buy this moisturizer.

this is such a lightweight yet such a moisturizing moisturizer!!!!! I really recommend this to those who have oily and acne prone skin, this really moisturizes your face and keeps it dewy and healthy! In the wintertime I went up into the mountains for a retreat with my church and I brought this body shop face moisturizer/primer because I knew that it was going to be dry and my face would be horribly dry and flaky. The body shop moisturizer actually made things worse and dried out my skin, I would literally press my face against some dark colored cloth, and my skin would flake everywhere, it was disgusting and horrible and I just wanted to go home. The dryness caused me to break out 10x more than I would ( i have a big acne problem) I would exfoliate, but it'd make things worse, because i had nothing to moisturize after with. I looked this up on amazon and saw the good reviews and decided to purchase it at a nearby target. Literally when I applied this, in one night my face was moisturized, not as flaky (it was still healing from when I came down from the mountains) and my face felt good and not dry and rough and nasty blegh. I'm out of my first one from in December when I bought it, and now ordered and received my second one. I am sooo happy with this moisturizer, it's very light and smells nice and feels really cool and refreshing and its just all around amazing!! Definitely recommend for an inexpensive yet really good moisturizer. It's GEL not a CREAM so it's really good for oily and acne prone skin, cream can clog up pores and make acne worse. The only con..not really a con, is that it's surprisingly small ahaha i expected a bigger container, but it holds a lot and I use this on a daily basis morning, noon, night, whenever i wash my face! The container is made of thick glass, so try not to drop it! A definite recommend and definite buy!

This Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel Cream is a hidden gem — especially if you’ve got oily or combo skin. It’s lightweight, oil-free, and soaks in fast without leaving any greasy residue. I love the cooling gel texture, especially in the morning. My skin feels instantly refreshed and stays hydrated all day. No breakouts, no stickiness. Plus, the Vitamin E & antioxidants give it an extra boost. At 50ml, it lasts a while because a little goes a long way. Perfect under makeup or on its own. If you're looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss moisturizer that actually works — this is it. 💧👌

Awesome product..

Precisamente el día de ayer se terminó mi primera crema facial. Me duró exactamente dos meses dos semanas. Por fortuna ya tengo mi segunda crema. Llegaron ambas en perfectas condiciones, con un adhesivo de seguridad que indica que el producto no ha sido abierto. A pesar de ser un envase pequeño, no se requiere demasiada cantidad para hidratar todo el rostro. Es una crema o gel facial que realmente me funciona. Tengo cutis mixto, así que mantiene en control la grasitud de mi rostro. Lo que me encanta es que se absorve rápidamente, dejando mi piel hidratada y fresca. También no se me generan grumos al aplicar el bloqueador facial, como me sucedía con otras cremas faciales. Por lo que estoy en completa satisfacción con el producto.

I really like this moisturizer — it’s lightweight, oil-free, and absorbs quickly. I use it daily under makeup. It feels very fresh and cooling & leaves no greasy residue. I use this throughout the year, irrespective of whether it is summer or winter. The addition of vitamin E and antioxidants works great on my oily and sensitive skin, and does not give me breakouts. This was the most budget friendly and quality product i have found so far to use for my skin.

It's so light,it simply disappears into the skin on application.Yet it hydrates my skin perfectly and also acts as a make up base, giving my skin an added glow.Great product Garnier!
