Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Over Make-Up UV Mist, Invisible Protection with SPF50+ and Vitamin C. Protects, Brightens and Fights Appearance of Dark Spots, Cruelty free, Vegan - 75ML

I was looking for a pure vitamin C serum for anti-ageing benefits, however I also suffer from melasma and mild pigmentation, and when I saw the this one which had a "vitamin C" in its name, the price was good, and had an additional blend of active ingredients I thought I might as well try it. I'm glad I did. To begin with it is important to note that this is not a pure vitamin C serum, rather it is the vitamin C based skin brightening serum. The difference is that a "pure" serum, prioritises the most potent form of vitamin C for maximal anti-aging and collagen benefits, while a "brightening" serum provides a more balanced approach to overall radiance and evenness, often with better stability and less irritation for the user. "Pure vitamin C serum" likely uses L-ascorbic acid, the most potent but unstable form, while this vitamin C skin brightening serum uses a more stable derivative and a blend of brightening ingredients. Based on the listed ingredients and the way the skin feels post application this serum appears to be of a good quality. The 30 ml bottle is quite a good sizing considering that only a drop is needed to generously cover half of the face, so depending on the frequency of use, this will last for quite a while. This serum has a mild and pleasant citrusy smell, a light, yellow, milky consistency and is easily absorbed. In my case, the skin is left feeling soft and well hydrated which some might mistake the feeling for greasines, however I'd disagree. From the very first use, I felt it brightened my skin and gave it additional glow. It also reduced my melasma and improved my skin texture. My pigmentation spots are still visible but I feel like they're slowly fading away. I experienced no adverse reactions or irritation, however, this product does contain alcohol and fragrance, so it may not be suitable for everyone; be sure to check the full list of ingredients. Overall, this is an excellent skin brightening serum suitable for all skin types, at a bargain price, which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Why I Swear By This Fluid: I was looking for a daily, high-protection SPF that wasn't heavy, greasy, or white-cast prone. The combination of SPF50+ protection and the brightening power of Vitamin C made this fluid the perfect one-and-done product for my morning routine. Despite one minor caveat, this is easily my favourite daily sunscreen/skincare hybrid. The Game-Changing Benefits (The Pros): Exceptional SPF 50+ Protection: This provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection that feels lightweight, which is non-negotiable for preventing and correcting sun damage. It gives total confidence for daily wear. True Brightening Power: The Vitamin C derivative is noticeable. It combats dullness, and with consistent use, my skin tone has appeared more even and radiant. It’s an effective two-in-one product. Incredibly Lightweight Texture: It is a truly thin, easy-to-spread fluid—not a thick cream. It sinks in quickly, leaving no sticky or greasy residue. It wears beautifully under makeup. The "Sheer Glow" Finish: This is the product's major selling point. It leaves a beautiful, healthy, luminous sheen on the skin that instantly brightens the face and makes you look refreshed. The Caveat (The Bronze Effect): Be Aware of the Tint: While the fluid is marketed as 'Sheer,' it has a very subtle, light bronze or peach tint to counteract the white cast often found in high SPF formulas. For most medium skin tones, this provides a great blurring and warming effect. However, if you have very fair or cool-toned skin, you need to be aware that this tint might be slightly noticeable, especially around the edges of the face. It’s not an issue for me, but it's a critical detail for others. Final Verdict: The Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Brightening Fluid is a phenomenal piece of daily skincare. It combines high-level sun protection, active brightening ingredients, and a gorgeous, luminous finish. It is essential for anyone serious about preventing sun damage. A definite 5-star product that provides a flawless glow, provided the light bronze hue works for your complexion.

The Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Serum feels lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue. After a couple of weeks, my skin looked brighter and more even, and some dark spots seemed less noticeable. It works well under makeup and doesn’t irritate my skin. The only minor downside is that the brightening effect isn’t instant, but overall it’s a solid serum for daily use.

Bought after seeing a social media post. It smells amazing. Lovely and silky on the skin. Doesn’t leave any sticky residue

Bought this on recommendation of Mrs Hinch. Even with serum before it's not moisturising for dry skin

Brightened my complexion nicely. Not to thick, good absorbing and moisturised. Slightly sticky at first but let this put you off. Give it a minutes before your moisturiser. Dark spots fading and dullness. Have noticed this within a days of using. Plus great value for money too. Nice size to travel with, a little goes a long way.

I’m writing this review on behalf of my wife, as this is the cleanser she’s been using. She’s very happy with it and says it removes makeup well without drying her skin. Her skin feels clean and soft after use and she noticed it looks brighter too. It works well for her and she plans to keep using it.

Its brightening my skin and also peeling it off. good product. I would recommend to remove the tan
