Perhaps it was the purple bright packaging? or the fact that it had spf 15 in it? Either way, I purchased this from the Superdrug's website on sale (never again will I do that, but that's a completely different rant in itself). The box arrived crushed, so I discarded it immediately and this 50ml jar lasted me roughly 1.5 months.
The moisturiser has the trademark Garnier scent. My bb cream also has the same scent. It is a fresh and slightly fruity/floral aroma. It didn't bother me and was quite nice actually. I remember the first time that I used this and didn't rub it in well and looked like I had white paint all over my face. This moisturiser didn't sink into the skin as easily as I wanted it too. In fact, the other day I must have put on too much on my neck and the mixture of the cream with my perfume made it flake away. That was quite embarrassing.
I can not describe it in words, but there was something a little too synthetic about this moisturiser. I definitely would not repurchase this. It's not that it was bad or I had some adverse reaction to it, but it is just purely on the fact that it really did nothing for my skin. In fact, I feel it was a little too rich for my combination skin and may have blocked my pores.
Sure it only cost £6.99, but I feel like I wasted £6.99 to be honest. Perhaps this would help with someone a bit younger than me, as I am finding the need for better skincare as I get older.
