Garnier Light Complete White Speed - Review

With it’s tagline “1 week to shine”, Garnier promises to give an instant result within 1 week to get brighter skin tone. The launching of Light Complete White Speed series promotes freedom to create and boosting women’s confidence to be the best in every aspect of their life. Garnier believes that by having a good skin, it will increase women’s confidence in their daily life, hence helping them achieving their success. It is supported by their Brand Ambassador, Chelsea Islan, a multi talented young Indonesian actress, that said always give the best effort in everything that she does.  
 
I had spent one week to try The Garnier Light Complete White Speed series. There are 4 products that I had tried:
  • Garnier Light Complete White Speed Scrub
  • Garnier Light Complete White Day Cream
  • Garnier Light Complete White Day Cream with Extra SPF
  • Garnier Light Complete Night Restore
I am a believer in using products under the same range to get maximum performance of the products. That is why I decided to try all of them.

Let’s start with the scrub. It is said that the scrub is safe for daily use, but I only use it for 3 times in a week because I think scrubbing my face 3 times a week is more than enough. I am not a fan of the scrub because it is basically a facial wash with micro beads that I found not scrubbing my face really well. I also dislike the tightness feeling on my skin after I rinse my face dry. Remember the squeaky clean like a dishwasher commercial that I mentioned before on my previous blog post about my skincare regime? That was what I felt after I use the scrub. The scent is refreshing though. 



Next, I tried the day cream (the one in the tube packaging). I was curious because it is said it will not make your face oily and greasy for the whole day. I love day cream that can deliver that. But unfortunately, this was also not my cup of tea. I understand that this product is for normal to oily skin, so maybe that is why it did not fit me. My skin is a bit complicated, easily get dehydrated but can be oily sometimes on the T-zone. The texture of the cream is thick and when I applied it to my skin, it felt starchy and it created streaky white marks on my face. I have to really rub my skin to spread it all evenly. It did not make my face shiny for about 6-7 hours, but when I touched my face it felt a bit sticky. I just don’t like the texture and how it sits on my face. I tried to top this cream for 3 days with different face base. I tried tinted moisturizer, CC cream, and BB cream. But none of them give a good result. So I gave up and move to the other product, the day cream with extra SPF. 



The Day Cream Extra turned out to be better than its sibling. The texture is not that thick and it glides on my skin well. I have no problem in applying the cream and also topping it with my makeup. All went well with this one.. Hurrahhh!! The shine control duration is a little bit shorter which I noticed only last for 5-6 hours until I have to blot. But at least this one did not give me sticky feeling on my skin. My skin was kept moist the whole day and I like it.



Another favorite from this line is the Night Restore. This cream texture is runnier than the Day Cream Extra, but its fine by me because this cream also glides easily on my skin. It moistured my skin well and when I wake up in the morning my face did not feel sticky or dry but just the right feeling of moisturized and bright. This cream is a keeper and I will use it whenever I need that instant brightener boost for my skin.



All of the products have wonderful scent. It smells fresh and clean, suitable with its look and packaging. Below is my before and after picture within one week of Garnier Light Complete White Speed series (please pardon the eye bags and dark circles). All pictures taken in bare face without any makeup on. It did not really give significant skin tone result on me because my skin tone is already light. But, you can see that the redness in my face is reduced and my skin looks brighter. The dullness is gone and the skin feels smoother. I also relieved that these products did not give me breakouts because sometimes it happens when I change my skincare. 


Some of you might worry if these products are safe to use because its instant result. Worry not, their active ingredients already declared safe by the dermatologist to use. Their serum cream technology also helps the product to be absorbed better by the skin so you can feel the effect immediately.

I already tried them.. Now, its your turn to try!
