Thoughts: Let me be frank here. I kept seeing @biexbeautytrait posts on Garnier products on my timeline and it made me feel nostalgic in a way that I thought maybe I should give this brand another try. I used to love their toner when I was 15 and I did use some of their cleansers back in my teenage years.
The moment it touched my skin, there's a cooling effect, but only for a few seconds, didn't linger like Keep Cool sunscreen. The cooling effect turned into an uncomfortable feelings that it hurts my face. It irritates my skin. I'm not sure why but maybe there's any ingredients in this sunscreen that my skin felt like it was too much for it to bear. But the feelings disappeared after few minutes of application.
I was fine with it as I bought this sunscreen just merely because I wanna try it out. I didn't take a glimpse at the ingredients before I purchased. In my experience, within 5 days of using it, I had come to a conclusion that it's a tone up sunscreen as over time, it toned up my skin, em, pretty obvious (in a way that it was way too much for me). The tone up effect didn't suit my medium tan skin tone. It always made me feel awkward to see myself in the mirror while having it on.
It claimed that this sunscreen is not oily, not greasy and not sticky. It's greasy (not 2 fingers rule friendly tho), makes my face a bit oilier over time yet not sticky. I didn't bother to top it with any no-sebum pact powder or any loose powder as I used it only when I was at home. You can try it or just take any beauty blender to dab dab dab to kick away the extra dewiness that you don't need. This sunscreen contains denatured alcohol which could be drying for some people, especially when it is in the first six in the ingredients list. And the fragrance is pretty strong and it smells like the normal Garnier Light Complete range. I always find it is unnecessary to have fragrance in my skincare products, I prefer them to smell like chemical or having no scent at all.
I would not recommend this for people with oily and sensitive skin. I purchased this on Shopee, Garnier official store for RM23 during sale. Normal price would cost you RM29.90. I haven't seen it in any drugstores yet, it's a new one from Garnier, but maybe by this time, it's already available nationwide.
🌟:1.5/5
