I thought about using Garnier products as a challenge to see if I get positive results after 30 days or more of using them. It all started when I got the loot from my mission a couple of months ago. 
All I can say is, so far, so greattt! 
First on my review list is this Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream from Garnier. I was never a fan of night creams, because they’re too heavy and/or greasy on my already-greasy skin. There’s rarely a night cream that suits all skin types. And as for my skin which is sadly oily and acne-prone, most night creams I tried gave me horror stories to tell.
Garnier Light Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream’s Claim
This Garnier night cream is infused with pure lemon essence and natural peeling fruit extracts that exfoliates dark skin cells and peels off dullness as you sleep, revealing fresh and fairer skin in the morning. Not only will it lessen dark spots, but it will also prevent your skin from further darkening.
Away from external aggressions, night is the ideal time to reinforce whitening action. With the combined attributes of Vitamin C from lemon essence, Vitamin CG from herbal extracts, and the natural peeling fruit extracts, you’re sure to wake up with a healthy glowing, visibly fairer and more even toned skin! You will never have to walk in the dark again!-Garnier
Apply a liberal amount at night (after cleansing and toning), and wake up fresh and dewy in the morning!
Verdict: Evens out my skin tone, and helps clearing out my skin!
This is one of the very few night creams and moisturizers that my super sensitive skin agree with. Garnier Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream didn’t cause any adverse reactions on me. It didn’t irritate or break my skin out! So, it’s safe to assume that it really did a big help in gradually clearing my skin from those nasty zits I’ve been suffering for more than a decade.
Now, I’ve never loved my skin like this before (scratch the pre-pubescent years, ‘coz my skin was flawlessly awesome then 
). Worry not, ‘coz this won’t actually make the skin peel, which is a common aftereffect of chemical peeling treatments. I guess the term applies on its ability to strip off skin’s dullness. However, I notice that it didn’t actually lighten my skin tone up a notch, but it surely helped to even it out particularly in fading those dark spots and blemishes. My only concern is that it feels a bit greasy after application, so I always make sure to use a considerable amount (say, pea-size will do), rather than slathering a dollop of product on my face. Nevertheless, no scary breakouts were ever recorded the day after, just fresh-looking skin!
I’m confident to say that I’m on my way into finally having a virtually blemish-free skin!
Best of all, it’s really affordable! A 50ml jar only costs Php 329 (about $ 6.73).
It’s been almost 3 months now since I’ve started religiously using it and it’s still halfway full!

This is a wonderful product review- thanks!… I would wonder what a “lightening” cream would do- and what a great price!

Hi Bailey! I’m not pretty sure on the lightening effect. But, it somehow helped fading dark spots on my face, thus evening out my skin tone. Ah yes, the price is just spectacular!

i’ve been using garnier religiously for nearly 2 months now (foaming cleanser, toner, overnyt cream and day cream) and its just great! it doesn’t break me out! its the first product that i used continuosly cause the products i’ve used before give me a lot of zits so i discontinue them and find another.. and another..i dont even finih a single bottle or tube! and this has gone for a year. my face has ugly scars, and i never had a single pimple free day. so this is really record breaking.. 2 months of using a single line of product. GARNIER..
GARNIER OVERNIGHT CREAM
- i felt that my face is more supple and hydrated the day after using the it,plus -no visible signs of peeling. it might feel greasy at first application but my skin absorbs it well thereafter
TONER (the yellow one)
- love using this prduct cause it has this milky feeling that really soothes your skin, no stingy feel it felt really good on my face and i have no visible pores now. however, it doesnt really work well on the dirt removing thing anyway,i dont break out and it feels great so why care anyway
DAY cream
-is also good it has spf15, it faded my dark stubborn spots a little bit (cause it has only been 2 months, let’s make it realistic)and it looks nice under make up. it reflects light so your skin generally looks flawless
OVERALL: my face is fairer, more even, no visible pores, looks so young and supple.. the product also is nice under make up..and its relatively affordable and always available at depatment stores. lots of people notice the improvement on my skin and its just so amazing. hope the results continue on for a year or even longer.
GARNIER PRODUCTS I’VE USED BEFORE BUT NOT BEEN USING NOW
Pure SOS blemish clear pen”
-it doesnt clear off my pimple thus, it makes my pimple become more reddened the day after
Pure A scub
-it has large granules. yeah it scrubs your face well but its a little too harsh on the face. i advise that you should not use it regularly as it makes your pores bigger and your face more reddened.. but if used occasionally, it works fine clearing up the dirt and it helps on fading your dark stubborn spots as well
i’m planning to use the yellow pen of GARNIER that claims to fade dark spots.. i’ll give a review if it works well or not. ciao! hope this helps

[...] used the scrub wash before, and I’ve been religiously using the Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream ever since. I’m not sure if I’m gonna opt for the day cream, since my skin barely needs [...]

Hi Precious! Thanks for the wonderful review you did!
I’m glad the Garnier Light Products really work on your skin! 
As for the overnight peeling cream, a little goes a long way for me. Too much product and it will certainly grease my face off.
Hope to hear your future raves (or maybe rants?) soon about Garnier! Keep ‘em coming.

I have to tell you something. I’m just a guy who happened to accidentally bumped on a sachet of Garnier Light cream at some drugstore and decided to buy it. I don’t have much acne on my face but because of my continuous squeezing of the tiny bumps, I tend to get mild scratches. Hahaha. My uncontrollable habit scarred my face a bit and had a lot of dark spots. So I thought testing this one out since… well, it’s just 19 bucks.
I tried using it after washing my face (with my body soap as usual). I thought the lemon scent would annoy the hell out of me but when I applied it, I was suprised. I thought I was about to eat it. Hahaha! No kidding, it smelled so nice, I didn’t notice I kept on applying it on my cheek one layer after another. Hahahahaah!
Anyway, what I found about this cream is that it made my skin flat. I mean flat… smooth, no bumps, and I was like… the hell. How come didn’t I try believing KC Concepcion for this one? Hahaha! Yeah, it did make my skin a bit fairer (which kind of made me felt awkward because it’s fairer… yeah) right after applying it but it really didn’t matter… what I’m happy about it is that it made my skin smoother. Oh, I almost forgot. That was late night already when I first used it.
When I checked my face up first thing in the morning, I was surprised… my face was like WOAH! I’M FLAWLESS! Hahaha! Really. I’ve never been happy with a moisturizer that does what it’s not intended to do… and that is making my skin smooth. I guess it closed my pores and all.
I think I’ll purchase a bigger size of it. I’m worried it might whiten my face permanently (i’m not really into whitening cosmetics especially to my face–it might make my face look whiter than my body hahahaha! you know what I mean)
Yeah, hope people would also try using this product and get the same results. I even brought a sample to my brothers to test it out (and got pretty similar results, I’m telling you hahaha!)

Oh, I’m sorry. I got carried away. I was talking about the Light cream whiten and protect… something. Yeah, not the product you discussed above. I guess I have to try that one since Garnier didn’t disappoint me. Also, it evened out my face after 5 days. Can you believe that?
Hope it’ll always be like this if I continue using the cream. And if I complement it with that peeling cream above, hope I’ll get better results. Yeah, to keep acne break outs away!

Hi Neil! Maybe you were referring to the Day Cream with SPF 15?
I’m so glad it works out for you!

Hello pwede mag tanung if san mka2bili ng garnier light sa online? thank you

Hi April,
I’m not sure if there’s anyone who sells Garnier products online since it’s available locally at Watson’s outlets in particular.
Hence, you can check ebay.ph.

Is this not a lie????I’ve been using a lot of whitening creams still NOTHING WORKED for me. I have a sensitive and pimple prone skin.Please don’t disappoint me.

Hi Leonelle!
This is based on my experience. However, comments here could be based on the commenter’s experience as well.
As for your problem, you may have to consider your skin type. Perhaps, this works for me, but may not work for you. Skin sensitivity differs to a degree that mine can be less sensitive as yours. To be sure, you must consult a dermatologist first prior to using this product.

Hello sweetie,
Since you have tried the Garnier LOPC, do you ever breakout? Cos I’ve been wanting to try out this cream since the tan that i got has gradually caused my skin to appear dull and bouts of uneven skintone.. what a nightmare. plus this has caused my skin to look bad without any makeup on. thus i am on my journey to address my skin woes. I need a good whitening cream so as to achieve my originaly fair skintone.
Oh and have you tried using Garnier Light Oil Control Whitening Cream? If so, could you do a review..pretty please?

Hi Baby,
Sorry for the late reply! I did not experience any purging on my part when I was still using Garnier Light Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream. For your woes, I encourage you to try it!
Who knows, it may the solution for your current skin condition.
I haven’t tried Garnier Light Oil Control Whitening Cream, but I’ll be giving more room for it in the future, or pehaps, have someone to try it as I’m currently using another product at this time. I will let you know if I or someone gets to test the product soon!

Hi sweetie,
Yesterday,I’ve just purchased the Garnier Light Overnight Peeling Cream. And have tried it for the first time last night and I’m quite pleased. Very moist yet not oily feeling.And i don’t breakout.
Thanks for your recommendation. Looking forward to more reviews. =)
