What Is Mochi Skin? 20 Beauty Junkies Tried Garnier's Viral Dry-Touch Moisturiser To Find Out

From my personal experience, the Garnier Mochi Cream Salicylic Dry Touch Cream has been gentle and effective on my skin. The texture feels creamy, soft, and smooth, making it easy to apply. When I apply it, I can feel a cooling effect on my skin, which feels very refreshing. It absorbs well and does not feel greasy or oily. There is a slight sticky feeling at first, but it goes away after a while and feels comfortable. I have sensitive skin with eczema, and my skin is also prone to dryness. I am usually very careful when trying new skincare products. This cream worked well for me because my skin did not feel itchy, painful, red, or sensitive after using it. My skin felt calm and comfortable. After using it for some time, I noticed positive changes. My skin looks brighter and feels more moisturised. My face is less dry, smoother, and has a healthy glow. I also noticed fewer pimples and lighter dark spots. I applied it before going out, and the moisturising effect lasted the whole day. My skin stayed hydrated and fresh without feeling oily.

I had a positive experience using this cream and would continue incorporating it into my skincare routine. The texture of the cream was smooth, light, and easy to spread across the skin without feeling heavy or greasy. The scent is another highlight. It has a subtle, pleasant smell that isn't overpowering, making it suitable for everyday use and for those who prefer subtle fragrances in their skincare products. After application, my skin absorbed the cream very well, with no residue left behind. Before using this cream, my skin was quite dry and dull, lacking moisture and brightness. After consistent use, my skin felt well hydrated, softer, and more refreshed. The cream provided lasting moisture throughout the day and helped restore a healthier appearance to my skin. Additionally, I experienced no complications. There was no irritation or breakouts, which shows how gentle and effective the cream is. Overall, this cream is hydrating, soothing for my skin and is a good addition to my skincare routine!

I really loved using this cream. Even though I've only been using it for about a week, I already noticed a visible difference in my skin. After a few days of application, my face looked brighter and more refreshed, especially in the mornings. The texture of the cream is lightweight and smooth, making it very easy to apply and spread evenly across the skin. It absorbs quickly and does not feel sticky or heavy at all, which I really appreciate. One of the things I liked most is that my skin did not feel oily after application. I have combination skin, so finding a moisturiser that hydrates without making my face greasy can be challenging, but this cream worked really well for me. My skin felt moisturised, soft, and comfortable throughout the day. I was also impressed by how long the hydration lasted—my skin stayed hydrated for hours, and I can see why it claims to last up to 48 hours. Overall, this cream suited my skin very well and delivered noticeable results in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a lightweight, non-sticky moisturiser that brightens and keeps the skin hydrated. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to try this product for free.

The Garnier Vitamin C Dry Touch Cream was very suitable for my skin. The texture of the cream is mochi-like, and it was translucent with a subtle yellow hue, although you cannot see it once it is applied to the skin. To my delight, the product also had a mild citrus lemon scent. As I applied the cream, it left my skin feeling cool and hydrated. I was very surprised, as the product had felt heavy when I scooped it up with my fingers due to the mochi-like texture, but it quickly absorbed into my skin within a minute of application. The slight yellow tinge in the packaging also disappeared, leaving me with a feeling of freshness. After application, there was no residue, and my skin did not feel sticky when I touched it. After using it a couple more times, I noticed that my skin was glowing. It looked more radiant, and the discolouration on my face (freckles, etc.) had become less noticeable and less intense.

LOVE the mochi-like texture! It has a super lightweight formula, yet it is so effective even within just 7 days. I initially expected a watery gel texture, which I usually prefer for oily skin, but the non-sticky matte finish of this unique mochi texture is unlike anything I've felt before. From the very first use, I could already see a subtle radiance right after application. I was impressed by how smooth my skin felt and the healthy glow it gave my face. After five days of using the cream, my cheeks felt softer and more supple, and my overall complexion looked brighter. When comparing my day 0 bare-skin selfie to my day 7 selfie, I also noticed that my dark spots and red areas appeared visibly lighter. This non-sticky mochi cream is perfect for Singapore's hot and humid weather, so I would definitely recommend it to my friends—especially those with combination or slightly oily skin. I would personally be interested in checking out the Niacinamide Mochi Cream as well to test out its plumping effect on my skin, and I hope it helps reduce the appearance of my pores too.

True to its name, I definitely feel like I am rubbing a thin, jelly-like mochi layer onto my skin when applying the Garnier Salicylic Acid Dry Touch Mochi Cream. Personally, the biggest selling point of this cream for me is that it feels super light and cooling on the skin, even when the bottle is kept at room temperature. This makes it ideal for Singapore's humid weather, where one wants to avoid heavy, greasy moisturisers that sit on your face like a visitor overstaying their welcome during Chinese New Year visits. Over the course of using this mochi cream, there was a slight setback where parts of my face initially stung, possibly due to the fact that I am not used to applying skincare products containing salicylic acid. However, the stinging sensation faded within a few minutes, and I have not experienced it since. Overall, it has been a pretty pleasant experience. Another thing I've noticed when applying the cream is that the salicylic acid included in the ingredients is very effective at reducing and controlling the oil produced by my skin, to the point that it feels slightly dry to the touch at the areas of application. I've also noticed some reduction in the closed comedones on my face as a result of using this cream. Overall, this is a cream I would consider repurchasing.

Garnier's Mochi Cream has a soft, truly "mochi-like" texture, which immediately stood out to me the moment I scooped it out. When applied, there's a cooling sensation on my skin, and it did not feel oily at all. This refreshing feeling made the application experience very pleasant, especially in the mornings. It felt very lightweight and was absorbed into the skin within seconds without any sticky residue, which made it easy for me to move on to applying my sunscreen and makeup without any additional waiting time. This effortless layering is something I really appreciate in a skincare product, as it fits well into my daily routine. I have normal skin, and this product suits my skin well. After consistent use for the past seven days, my skin felt comfortable and balanced throughout the day. I think the product helped to plump and smooth my skin texture, making it a good makeup base for the day. My makeup applied evenly and looked fresh even after many hours of being out and about. On some days, I could head out after applying just this product and sunscreen. Overall, this cream works well as both a skincare step and a prep product, making it a great addition to my routine!

I really enjoy using Garnier Vitamin C Dry Touch Mochi Cream as part of my daily skincare routine. One of the first things I noticed is the unique mochi-like texture — it feels incredibly soft, bouncy, and lightweight. When applied, the cream melts beautifully into the skin and absorbs quickly without leaving any residue, stickiness, or greasy feeling, which is perfect for humid weather. This cream works very well for my combination skin type. After application, my skin feels instantly moisturised, supple, and comfortable, with a soft, velvety finish. It provides enough hydration without clogging my pores or causing any breakouts, which is especially important for acne-prone skin. Throughout the day, my skin remains plump, hydrated, and balanced, without feeling oily in my T-zone. I also appreciate that it is gentle enough for daily use and layers well under makeup, providing a smoother base for makeup application. My foundation applies more smoothly, and my skin looks fresher and more radiant. With continued use, I've noticed my complexion looks brighter and more even over time. Overall, Garnier Vitamin C Dry Touch Mochi Cream is a great option if you're looking for hydration, glow, and a luxurious texture in one product. I would highly recommend it for combination or acne-prone skin, especially if you want brighter, healthier-looking skin without breaking out.

My skin type is combination — I have an oily T-zone and dry everywhere else. Before applying the cream, my skin was tight and slightly dry after cleansing. I also have many dark spots and acne scars from years of popping my pimples, so my skin texture is uneven. My pores are large and obvious on camera. The cream texture is interesting. I was expecting a slippery and shiny-looking cream, but the texture was dry, looked matte, and was thicker than I expected. I applied the cream on its own without other skincare. It took more cream than usual to cover my whole face, but it ended up feeling quite nice and surprisingly cooling. After a while, it dries down and becomes a bit tacky, so it would probably be good to use as a base layer before applying makeup. It left my skin feeling less tight and more comfortable. Results: I feel like my pores look less obvious. It is suitable for combination and acne-prone skin. My redness has gone down a little bit, and it did not emphasise my skin texture or irritate my skin. Overall, I would recommend this for those looking for something not too oily, as after an hour, my skin still feels moisturised but not too oily.

It's my first time trying out the Garnier Mochi Cream series, and overall, I had a pleasant experience. Singapore is hot and humid, and I have oily combination skin, so I pay extra attention when choosing the type of cream to use. The Garnier Mochi Cream is lightweight, which is a plus point for me. It feels cooling upon application, and the cream melts almost immediately into the skin, leaving a bouncy effect that lasts for a couple of hours. It's not oily, which is great as I'm not a fan of thick creams where you constantly feel like something is sitting on your face. Fragrance-wise, the scent is soothing and pleasant, although it does give me a bit of a tingling feeling after application. I would say that the cream is a good addition to both day and night skincare routines, and it does not interfere with my sunblock or make my foundation look cakey. The Garnier Mochi Cream makes my skin feel softer after application, and I can feel that my skin is well-hydrated. This cream is something I would use after being out in the sun for hours, as the cooling effect is really effective in dealing with the heat. For the price and results, it is definitely something I would consider repurchasing.

The cream has a smooth yet thick texture, which initially made it feel rich when applied to the skin. At first, it gave a comforting, slightly covered feeling, almost like a protective layer over my skin, but it was still gentle and soothing rather than heavy or overwhelming. I found the application experience quite pleasant, especially since it did not irritate my skin at all. After using the cream consistently for about two days, I started to notice that my skin felt smoother and more comfortable to the touch. It seemed to help soften my skin and improve its overall texture, making it feel more even and well cared for. While I didn't notice any obvious changes in terms of brightness or dark spots within such a short time, I feel that these results are likely to show up with longer and more consistent use. What really stood out to me was how calming this cream felt on my skin. I have very sensitive skin and often experience irritation when trying new products, but this cream worked really well for me. I didn't experience any redness, rashes, or discomfort at all. Overall, it feels like a reliable and soothing moisturiser that I would be happy to continue using as part of my daily skincare routine!

I tried Garnier's Dry Touch Mochi Cream (Vitamin C version) and tested whether its claims work. The main ingredients in this version are Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluron, and BHA. These help with brightening, hydrating, and dissolving oil and debris from the skin. Since this is a moisturising cream, I use this product after toner and serum, and before sunscreen during the day. When I first saw the name "mochi", I thought it would be a thick moisturiser, but it actually has a lightweight, gel-like texture, making it suitable for all skin types. What surprised me most about this product is how cooling and refreshing it feels on my skin. I swatched it on one hand and could feel the difference in temperature between both hands even after an hour. It is very soothing on my skin; however, I don't think it pairs well with some sunscreens. When I layered my sunscreen over this moisturiser, I noticed flaky textures on my skin. Because of this, I would personally only use this product at night. As for its claims, I do think it helps keep my skin hydrated and feels non-sticky and non-oily. However, I don't think it fades dark spots within just seven days. I have acne-prone skin, so it is quite hard to tell, even with pictures, as I have both old scars and new breakouts.

I recently tried the Garnier Niacinamide Dry Touch Cream, and overall, I'm quite impressed with it. The cream has a smooth, lightweight texture that spreads easily across the skin without feeling heavy or greasy, which is a huge plus for me since I have dry skin. Upon application, it absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, non-sticky finish, making it comfortable to wear throughout the day. I've noticed that my skin feels instantly moisturised and supple after using it. It's great for providing an extra boost of hydration, especially on those days when my skin tends to feel tight and dry. I also appreciate that it works well under makeup, as it doesn't leave a greasy layer or interfere with foundation application. After using the cream consistently for a couple of weeks, I observed a subtle brightening effect. My complexion looks fresher and more radiant, and areas that were slightly dull or uneven in tone appear improved. While I didn't notice dramatic changes in dark spots or acne scars, my skin does feel smoother and plumper overall, which is a welcome improvement. For anyone with dry skin looking for a light, everyday moisturiser that hydrates without greasiness, Garnier Niacinamide Dry Touch Cream is definitely worth trying. It provides effective moisturisation, a brightening effect, and a pleasant, easy-to-wear texture.

Opening the Salicylic Acid Dry Touch Mochi Cream container, I was hit with a distinct flowery yet lemony, zesty aroma that was pleasant and not overpowering. Visually, the cream had a matte texture that was neither too thick nor watery. It resembled meringue, with a seemingly light consistency. When scooped up with my fingertips, it did not feel sticky or heavy on the skin. Application felt natural, like a second skin, without feeling like my pores were getting clogged. It helped to even out my skin bumps, and even after 8 hours and counting, my skin was not oily or overly light-reflective unlike before, with just one single application. As a combination-skin girly, I felt that the oil control was optimal without drying my skin out, providing adequate moisture when tested as a sole skincare step without other creams. On the first application, the cream caused a slight tingling sensation on my skin without much irritation, and this sensation was gone by the second application. Suitable for both day and night use in my opinion, the cream helped with my T-zone area and evened out skin bumps despite a busy seven-day work week. I even tried it without any other moisturiser, and unlike other matte creams I have tried before for sebum control, this cream works extremely well, balancing moisturising benefits with oil-controlling, matte properties. Would definitely repurchase!

The cream does help noticeably with oiliness and delivers a true dry-touch finish after about 2–4 minutes of drying time. Upon application, the texture feels slightly similar to a makeup primer, but without the strong silicone feel that many primers have. Because of this, it takes a little longer to fully dry down compared to silicone-based products. Once it does, the skin feels smooth and comfortable rather than slick or greasy. The formula feels lightweight on the skin and does not weigh it down, making it suitable for daytime use. It also has a light fragrance that is consistent with Garnier's Vitamin C range—noticeable but not overpowering—and it fades quickly after application. I tried the Vitamin C version of this cream, but as someone with more sensitive and acne-prone skin, I would personally be more inclined to choose the blue Salicylic Acid (SA) version, which may be better suited for targeting breakouts. In terms of results, I have yet to notice any significant brightening effects, though this may require a longer period of consistent use. Packaging-wise, the cream comes in a glass bottle and was well packed during delivery, which gives it a premium feel. However, there was no double seal, which would have been a nice added touch. Overall, it is a solid option for those looking for oil control with a lightweight, dry-touch finish.

Garnier Vitamin C Dry Touch Cream's texture is one of its most standout features. It has a unique mochi-like, bouncy consistency that feels soft, cushiony, and almost like real mochi against the skin. When applied, it glides effortlessly and melts in almost instantly, which makes the application experience very pleasant. Despite its pillowy texture, the formula feels surprisingly lightweight—there's no heaviness, no sticky after-feel, and no greasy residue left behind. After application, the skin feels comfortable and fresh, making it ideal for both morning use. Upon application, the cream delivers an immediate boost of hydration. The skin feels moisturised and supple without being overly shiny, which is especially great for those who dislike rich or occlusive creams. It layers well under sunscreen and makeup, and because it absorbs so quickly, you don't have to wait before moving on with the rest of your routine. This cream works particularly well for normal, combination, and oily skin types due to its dry-touch finish. Those with dry skin may still enjoy it, especially during the day, though they might prefer to layer it with a more hydrating serum. With consistent use, the skin appears smoother, plumper, and more refreshed. Over time, there is a noticeable improvement in brightness—dullness is reduced, and the complexion looks more even and radiant. As someone with concerns about dark spots and acne scars, while they don't disappear overnight, they do appear slightly lightened with regular use, giving the skin a healthier, more luminous overall appearance. I love it so much!

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the Garnier Vitamin C Mochi Dry Touch Cream. First thing I noticed was the smell — damn good, with a subtle orangey scent that isn't overpowering at all. I honestly thought it would feel sticky or heavy, but it glides really smoothly onto the skin and just melts right in. After applying, my skin felt super lightweight and comfortable, not greasy at all. I used it on a day when my skin was acting up a bit — had some redness and a small pimple on my face. Surprisingly, the next day, both were basically gone 😳 My skin looked calmer and more even, which I didn't expect so quickly. It's one of those creams that feels nice immediately but also seems to actually do something overnight. Definitely a solid everyday moisturiser if you want something light, refreshing, and effective without that sticky feeling. Would repurchase for sure. 😆

I've been reaching for Garnier Salicylic Dry Touch Mochi Cream every morning lately ✨, and it has quickly become a staple in my daily skincare routine. From the first application, I was impressed by how incredibly lightweight the texture feels on my skin. It's completely oil-free, spreads effortlessly, and sinks in fast without any sticky or heavy residue — a huge plus for someone living in humid weather. What I love most is the "mochi" finish it leaves behind. My skin feels soft, bouncy, and smooth all day long, almost like it's been lightly blurred, but without looking shiny or greasy. Even after hours out and about, my skin still feels fresh and comfortable, which is not easy to achieve in this climate. The salicylic component also gives me peace of mind, knowing it helps keep pores clear while maintaining hydration. It layers beautifully under sunscreen and makeup, making it perfect for busy mornings when I want fuss-free skincare that actually works. Overall, this cream strikes a great balance between hydration and oil control. If you're looking for an everyday moisturiser that keeps skin soft, fresh, and non-greasy, Garnier Salicylic Dry Touch Mochi Cream is definitely worth trying. 💚
