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!
