Recommendation: Garnier Moisture Match Moisturiser

 Product retails for £5.99 (Boots)

"Garnier’s first ever whipped formula for a uniquely cooling texture.

With Aquakeep technology, Shine be gone is blended with super-absorbent micro-spheres to deliver a mattifying effect that lasts all day.

Just a little of the cooling sorbet texture goes a long way and is immediately absorbed leaving skin non-greasy and looking perfectly mattified.
Green Tea extract, known for its powerful antioxidant and detoxifying properties protects the skin whilst leaving it looking beautifully smooth and matte."- Online product description.

I first purchased this product at the start of April this year. I was in desperate need of a new moisturiser and come across this little gem when doing a little retail therapy.

My skin is sensitive/oily/combination/a pain and it really hates me! When ever it has the chance to develop a break out, you can almost guarantee it will and finding a product that works well with it is VERY hard.

To get straight to the point, I absolutely love this moisturiser!! It works really well with my skin and leaves it feeling silky soft. Fabulous! 

I use this product after I wash my face with my daily face wash both morning and night. I apply it to my dry face and neck with my finger tips, ensuring it is all absorbed. This is exactly how the box says you're supposed to use the product and they ensure you it is safe to use twice daily.

I find this product to leave my skin feeling soft an nourished each time I use it. However, I wouldn't say it lasts for 24 hours, like it states on the box. I could easily say it will last for 14 hours of the day, depending on the weather. I have found on colder days it doesn't leave my skin feeling as soft and nourished for so long, but that's understandable. 

After using this product my skin does look nicely mattified, but this wouldn't eliminate the use of a mattifying powder. I find that for my skin I could use another product to make it a little more matte looking, but for a drug store moisturiser this isn't too bad itself.

This moisturiser is extremely fast absorbing and doesn't leave a residue on the surface of the skin. If I was wearing one, I would take my hat off to Garnier for that! I find with a lot of moisturisers I have used, they can often leave a residue on my skin because they haven't fully absorbed. What a pain! 

I have also found this product to have a refreshing, cooling effect on the skin. It is perfect in the morning and gives your skin that awakening boost it probably needs.

The texture of this particular moisturisers is a medium thickness cream. I have been told that some of the other moisturisers from this range are slightly thicker or slightly thinner, depending on the skin type. I really enjoy the thickness of this moisturiser and find it works well with my skin.

IT HASN'T CAUSED ME TO BREAK OUT!! YAYAYAY!! Finally, I have found a moisturiser that doesn't irritate my skin. This makes me one very happy person! Amazing! 

In the Garnier Moisture Match range there is currently 5 different moisturisers to match different skin types. I have talked about the 'Combination to oily skin mattifying fresh cream' throughout this post but I have heard some good reviews about the rest.

I hope this has helped you on your moisturiser hunt and I hope, if you try it, it works just as wonderful.

Best wishes,
