I had spent one week to try The Garnier
Light Complete White Speed series. There are 4 products that I had tried:
- Garnier Light Complete White Speed Scrub
- Garnier Light Complete White Day Cream
- Garnier Light Complete White Day Cream with Extra SPF
- Garnier Light Complete Night Restore
I am a believer in using products under the
same range to get maximum performance of the products. That is why I decided to
try all of them.
Let’s start with the scrub. It is said that
the scrub is safe for daily use, but I only use it for 3 times in a week
because I think scrubbing my face 3 times a week is more than enough. I am not
a fan of the scrub because it is basically a facial wash with micro beads that
I found not scrubbing my face really well. I also dislike the tightness feeling
on my skin after I rinse my face dry. Remember the squeaky clean like a
dishwasher commercial that I mentioned before on my previous blog post about my
skincare regime? That was what I felt after I use the scrub. The scent is
refreshing though.
Next, I tried the day cream (the one in the
tube packaging). I was curious because it is said it will not make your face
oily and greasy for the whole day. I love day cream that can deliver that. But
unfortunately, this was also not my cup of tea. I understand that this product is
for normal to oily skin, so maybe that is why it did not fit me. My skin is a
bit complicated, easily get dehydrated but can be oily sometimes on the T-zone.
The texture of the cream is thick and when I applied it to my skin, it felt
starchy and it created streaky white marks on my face. I have to really rub my
skin to spread it all evenly. It did not make my face shiny for about 6-7
hours, but when I touched my face it felt a bit sticky. I just don’t like the
texture and how it sits on my face. I tried to top this cream for 3 days with
different face base. I tried tinted moisturizer, CC cream, and BB cream. But
none of them give a good result. So I gave up and move to the other product,
the day cream with extra SPF.
The Day Cream Extra turned out to be better
than its sibling. The texture is not that thick and it glides on my skin well.
I have no problem in applying the cream and also topping it with my makeup. All
went well with this one.. Hurrahhh!! The shine control duration is a little bit
shorter which I noticed only last for 5-6 hours until I have to blot. But at
least this one did not give me sticky feeling on my skin. My skin was kept
moist the whole day and I like it.
Another favorite from this line is the
Night Restore. This cream texture is runnier than the Day Cream Extra, but its
fine by me because this cream also glides easily on my skin. It moistured my
skin well and when I wake up in the morning my face did not feel sticky or dry but
just the right feeling of moisturized and bright. This cream is a keeper and I
will use it whenever I need that instant brightener boost for my skin.
All of the products have wonderful scent.
It smells fresh and clean, suitable with its look and packaging. Below is my
before and after picture within one week of Garnier Light Complete White Speed
series (please pardon the eye bags and dark circles). All pictures taken in bare face without any makeup on. It did not really give
significant skin tone result on me because my skin tone is already light. But,
you can see that the redness in my face is reduced and my skin looks brighter.
The dullness is gone and the skin feels smoother. I also relieved that these
products did not give me breakouts because sometimes it happens when I change
my skincare.
Some of you might worry if these products are safe to use because
its instant result. Worry not, their active ingredients already declared safe
by the dermatologist to use. Their serum cream technology also helps the
product to be absorbed better by the skin so you can feel the effect immediately.
I already tried them..
Now, its your turn to try!
