Garnier SkinActive Moisture Rescue Moisturizer Reviews Summary

Hydration

Pros:

• "It's very moisturizing which i need since my skin tends to be dry."
• "It's super hydrating and has really helped calm my dryness."
• "This is my FAVORITE moisturizer EVER."
• "It is exactly the way that rich hydration should feel- it noticeably enhances my skin's moisture barrier without leaving a film."
• "Love this stuff. My skin is normal to dry with minimal to no acne issues. This is water-based so it doesn't cause breakouts."
• "It leaves my face so soft and hydrated."
• "The moisture keeps for a good 24 hours and I love it."

Cons:

• "Not a heavy hitter for moisture. My skin is left craving more moisture about two hours after application."
• "If you suffer from very dry skin, this alone may not be sufficient."
• "Sometimes I have to use it let it dry, then put more on."
• "The ingredients didn’t really work well for my combination skin and also caused me to have a few break outs."
• "This product isn't compatible with my skin. It doesn't absorb into the skin at all. It leaves a sticky layer on my face that feels like glue."
• "However after it dries, it leaves a sticky feeling on your skin. Has no moisturizing properties at all."
• "It does seem to seal in moisture on the skin but it really doesn't add much moisture."

• "It goes on smoothly and dries quickly."

Cons:

• "It felt more oily than it is hydrating the longer I applied it to my skin."
• "It also leaves your skin feeling sticky."
• "It does feel a tiny bit sticky on the hands/fingers and face after application."
• "Leaves a slightly tacky feeling at first, then dries completely."
• "It’s very sticky to the skin."

Scent

Pros:

• "It has a Light Fragrance… I’m Not Sure If GARNIER Makes One That Is…Fragrance Free… But I Like The Unscented Skin Care Products The Best."
• "The smell is very delish and it has a very light texture to it."
• "The smell is pleasant and not over powering."
• "The cream is more gel-like, cooling and non-scented so you don't have to worry about any off-putting smells."
• "There is also a very light scent, which I prefer when it comes to my skincare."
• "It has a very light pleasant scent."
• "Your face doesn't feel oily. A nice clean light scent."

Cons:

• "The biggest problem with it was that it smelled really bad, not even a perfume smell but more like a cheap plastic smell."
• "The scent is very strong, similar to aerosol hairspray."
• "The smell when applied has a very strong alcohol smell."
• "There is a slight chemical fragrance."
• "The only reason for 4 stars is because of the perfume. Holy crap, Garnier, this stuff is INTENSE."
• "It does have a fairly strong fragrance when you smell it in the pot."
• "A lot of people said it was very fragrant but I didn’t think so, but there is a fragrance to it so fyi if you are sensitive to fragrances and perfumes."

Price

Pros:

• "I was a long-time customer of the French luxury skincare brand Clarins... I’m so glad that this product exists at this price! What a win!"

• "It's a great product for a low price."
• "Can’t beat the price either!!!"
• "Great price for the money."
• "But for the price, this moisturizer is awesome."
• "A great price!"

Cons:

• "It's a bit on the pricier side but so far it feels like it's worth it."
• "Not very much product for the price."
• "I just feel like I can get a better quality moisturizer for spending a couple more dollars."
• "I don't feel the Neutrogena is worth the extra $10 per jar."
• "The size of the jar was a bit smaller than I expected."
• "It’s small.. like really small but sometimes less and is more right?"
• "The jar is all dried out like it was old I always use this product and love it but this one is defective I’m so disappointed."

Skin Compatibility

Pros:

• "This is not for me. I thought I would like it since it's summer and I wanted a lighter gel formula but it is not good for sensitive or acne-prone skin on adults."
• "I would this for anyone who has oily or combination skin but who does not have sensitive skin."
• "Unlike a lot of products I've tried, this one does not clog my pores and also doesn't pill at all, which makes it great for layering under make-up."
• "This product is oil free and non-comedogenic so it's perfect for acne prone skin."
• "It’s the only kind we can use with our sensitive skin."
• "I have very very sensitive skin and break out very easily with acne and rashes so I was definitely nervous when buying this. But it has helped greatly."
• "I have really dry & sensitive skin. Doesn’t clog my pores."

Cons:

• "At first I really liked this product because it is really good at instantly moisturizing my skin but the more that I used it the more often it started to burn and irritate my skin."
• "This product burns my face."
• "I'm breaking out and this has been the only new product I've used on my face."
• "Save your money; this product made me break out all over."
• "Also causes me to have blemishes."
• "It hydrates my skin but my acne free face is no longer."
• "I break out all of the time with this stuff."
