Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream



Price: $6.36-$6.99
Amount: 1.7 Fl. Oz.


  • Fresh scent, kind of  a light mix of Honeydew and Cucumber.
  • The packaging is bulky and I would prefer a pump bottle myself. I don't much like having to put my finger into the jar, even though my hands are always clean it just seems a bit unsanitary. I also broke my lid when I dropped it into the sink by accident, so I would say the plastic is too brittle.
  • Starts as a gel but turns to a liquid as your body heat melts it. BUT as you rub it in it thickens to an almost cream consistency until in absorbs. 
  • If you don't rub it in until it dissipates it can leave your skin feeling sticky until it's dry. But then your skin feels soft.
  • Doesn't feel like much at first but after about 20-30 minutes you can feel the moisture in your skin. 
  • I had no reaction to this product, no breakouts, rashes or burning.
I feel like this product would be good for all skin types unless you are already extremely oily. I found it to be quite perfect for the most part except during June/July when it was really hot out, because it did tend to make my T-zone a bit oily. And during Jan/February when it was very cold and my skin was so incredible dry it seemed nothing worked. My skin is a bit tempermental, but overall I feel this product is very good. The price isn't that bad either because most moisturizers I have found are quite expensive($10-$30). Also, 1.7 fl.oz may not seem like much but a little goes a LOOOOONG way. I bought this product around November of last year(2011) and I still have maybe 3-5 applications left. Granted, I don't use it every single day but I do use it at least 2-3 times a week. I highly recommend this product, but keep your eye out for a coupon. I saved $1.00 on mine so it was worth it even more! :)

I give this product 3.5 out of 4 stars for the inconvenient packaging.
